working dogs after bad injuries ?
Bosun11 replied to staffs riffraff's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
There's plenty of posts like your asking Staff's, do a search no matter what's posted on this thred. With serious injuries, everyone looks for some 'light', sommat to make 'em feel 'it's gonna be ok', so heres mine... I've a half cross bull here thats more than had his fair share. Along with the usual injuries sustained in the field, wire rash, puncture holes and rips etc, the big daft bugger went and lost his eye. Blackthorn, right through, tried to save it at first but a lost cause and had to have it out... Ok, thinks I, got a one eyed lurcher why couldn't it still run and catch, turning -
One word... WOW..!

Its places like that where the in-expierienced can get into trouble. Yep, vast area of sand dunes honeycombed with rabbits but a nature reserve and a death trap for ferrets.

Rat in the Bedroom Saga........!
Bosun11 replied to Rolfe's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Enjoyed that Rolfe, it really does make you wonder how some folk live eh. Lets hope she clear's the clutter and lives rat free from now on, though I'd bet she don't..!! -
My logic would be that the bitch you have is all the animal you'd need, apart from an extra bit of speed and ain't we all lookin for that from time to time in our dogs! So, if that collie type suits, then keep to the same and look to a big rangy 3/4 collie cross and take a racy pup. If you were looking to just add sighthound to improve the speed, then i'd go for a mixed breed sighthound, pref saluki based. The bottom line in whatever you use is that it grafts and grafts plenty! Oh, just to add, why, if that collie type suits, would you look to any other breed... Don't, because you'll loose

Brilliant, as always Bill... Though i'll be glad when they bugger off so you can put the odd post up in the Lurcher section again...

If it's a 'retierd' dog in my kennels, then it's more than earned it's place to be there and there it will stay, sadly not many get to that stage...!

Good stuff mate...

Thats some very tidy leather work there Tom, fair play to your Mrs for the commision, you should be very proud and 'Jock' enough to wear it...

Best keep 'em seperate and graft, graft and more graft will ease the situation.

My old girl, a good 'un, now no longer with us....

Enjoyed watching that bitch run, she was really anticipating the hare's moves and running thinking how to best deal with her quarry. Loved watching her head come up on a turn, then drop again when she worked out the new line. Good stuff!

Many happy returns Craigy.... Enjoy your day...

Amen to that Stabba! More than enough's been said on this one... Leave it here and get back to hunting...

One of the best of the smaller shows in the area. Good dogs and good lads. I'll be there... Though i'm sure it'll feel a little different this year...
-
Nice too, reminds me of that old girl in my avator to the left.
-
Nice strong bitch, right shape too for its age, should look really well by the end of the summer
-
Good stuff mate Been good stuff written on this thred, the dangers are many, a quick way to sicken a young dog and a very flustrated owner who is wondering as to why his poor mutt can't catch.... so take heed..!
-
Thanks for the advice on the coat, I'll hang on and see what comes, there's always next summer! For the collar, I'd stick to pet shop cheapies until the pup is a bit older, then I can make you one with plenty of growing room and an elastic loop to stop the spare collar flapping everywhere. Of course the fella in the photos has had a few collars already Yep, he looks well mate, as has been said, looks like you'll have your hands full with that one Fresh Earth's (kris) is right mate, I wouldn't start striping till he's grown on, let him develope in everyway, even his coat.
