Tom if the leather one went loose it's probably because it was from the belly of the hide ... Not good for making leads and collars .. If it was quality leather it would last 30 years for sure providing you put a little Neatfold oil on once a year ..

The two best are George Drake and Ron Mills ...........George is a master wit his eye and hands .. Ron is a master with his ultra sound machine ......George isn't easy to get hold of now though .

Rearing a puppy on it's own takes great experiance and it's best to rear a few pups together ... You need plenty of space for them to run for starters in a safe enviroment ... Even then injurys happen , pups break down , some won't chase , some see too much live stuff for the track and then get too clever for the rag as a track dog . This is why few go that way that want a track dog . Fantastic buzz if you have the time space and it must be extra rewarding for the owner if one does rear one alone then get it hunting hard at the track .

If you feed a high quality diet B12 won't have any noticable effect to be honest . 2.5ml is all thats needed in the back of the hinde muscle and once it's injected it'll soon pass through a dog systym so it's best to give it a dog as close to performace as possible .. I have a bottle and have to say it's never made any difference on my dogs but if you only feed biscuit as a diet it would help for sure . A meaty diet with vegtables and a good stock plus making sure your dogs wormed regular and keeping on top of niggles is key to getting the best from your dog .
