Good stuff Tomo

It does CP but that pups standing on laminate flooring, which every dog has trouble with, so the pic might be a bit decieving. Looks like typical 'big heavy bull pup on spindley greyhoundy legs', and with a pup so built, never overdo the excercise, just keep it fun, plenty of walks and free running but keep it fun, nothing to serious for a few months and all will be well. I've had the same.

CP's right WN, feet are feet and when a pup is growing it's a gamble on what they'll turn out like. I've seen good cat type feet smash to bits easy and poor looking splayed feet run over anything and vice versa... Most of the time it's what you run a dog over and how fit it is when you do that causes foot problems, that and not giving feet enough real healing time. I think folk get confused as to what flat feet are. I see flat feet as when a dog has not been out of a kennel in far to long, dogs that don't do any running. This is when road work will help and tighten 'em up, as it does

Very very impressive Santiago, love that stuff.

Will keep my eyes & ears out this end for you mate. Best of luck.

As far as i'm concerned, there is no such thing as too fast, on the lamp or not. It's, as has been said, how a dog runs it's quarry that counts... Has that speed been harnessed to be used as nessesary..? The problems arise when a dog has not been entered either fully or properley to both the range of quarry and the types of ground it is going to run over. You only have to look at the folk who have successfully entered pure greyhounds as lamp dogs. On the flip side, i have a lurcher in my kennel that came to me at over 12 months old, he cannot seem to come to terms with my usual lam

Great and interesting contributions on here, Gnasher, Duckwing etc and one of 'the' best on this forum ever, from Stabs... Thanks all....

Jesus! He's coming on a treat Ronnie. Taz your bitch is looking good too. You boys should be in for a very bright future!

Stewie, gutted for you mate, I know what your going through. If you remember when you pm'd me earlier this year, I had just the same thing happen last year. My dog suffered severe spinal trauma last year from a ditch fall and didn't stand for four days. On the day the vet was gonna put him out of his mysery he stood for just a little bit, a few seconds, so they held off... When they did it was still a total waiting game BUT with time he made a full recovery and i'm sure your bitch will too. Everything comes to those who wait! Take things very slowly, it really does take time. Best of

Then lets hope it is like the Lowthers of old (and not of more recent years), a cracking day out.

Deal..

Your dogs, especially the pup, look better and better each time I see 'em mate. Love the festive shot too. Well done Ronnie, a credit to you!!!

I took on a yearling about this time last year. At the time things were pretty bleak dog wise, i'd lost a very promising young bitch and had just about written my old dog off as I carried on lamping him with one eye. With nothing to walk, nevermind run and six months previous moving to a countryside location, i was offered, off a friend, a decent youngster, free, with a very genuine reason for the offer and it wasn't out of any sympathy for me! I took him on, and to be honest.. he's an honest dog, done all I've asked and carried me through.. BUT he ain't mine.. Whenever I've raised a p

Good stuff Ray, that pups gonna make a size too

First off i'd just like to say thats a bonny pup! I've no doubt that litter will be very handy too, pity I wasn't in the market when they came up. Just my opinion but I also see a difference in the type. I seen the original dogs that came off Vic to Liverpool, been out with a few of them, had a dog out of one too. After a few years not seeing any of the type, when I then came on this site and seen recent dogs, they were different BUT saying that, I know all too well that they are a 'type' with a shrouded past and given the difference of years I suppose they would not breed to type. When al

I had one, certainly looked the part, there's a head shot of it in my gallery (buckskin dog). It was out of very good bulldog lines too BUT it didn't have the balls it was born with, a totally usless animal!! Damn right nasty with any smaller dog, it was a fecking liability and went where all good doggies go!!

does your dog sleep inside or out???
Bosun11 replied to JRTMAD2k10's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Out.. Though with good kenneling and bedding. Though my dogs are house trained and very good inside, I'm not one for doggy smells inside the house, plus, on the wierd side, i'm allegic to dogs!!! I do enjoy them inside though but at this time of year I find it harsh putting them back out, so what they don't know, they don't miss. -
Dave was one of the most dedicated hunting men i've ever met, a true gentleman and a friend. A huge shock and a great loss. My thoughts are with his family. Good hunting Dave, wherever that may be...
-
Yep, for most it's the horses and riding thats the attraction but for others it's just about everything. Either way, they ALL support hunting and contribute greatly... Anyone remember those game gals that dressed as 'bunnys' for the march in Brighton??

Happy birthday CG

Little lurcher off here has some, she also has 'em crossed with whippets. I'm sure she'll tell you of the pro's and con's of such a cross.

I did have the full lot of WT & RD but loaned them to a good friend who was seriously ill in hospital, he made a good recovery, I hope they helped and until now have never thought of asking for them back. From what I remember it was produced in Wigan. Back then I was a member of the old Wigan dog club, which boasted a few well known faces of the terrier world. When the mag came out no one knew who had produced it, or their credentials in the working dog scene, a bit of a mystery but I did here that it was two ex coppers who had seen a nich in the market for a 'glossy' dog mag. They cer
