Deerhound Greyhound X Collie Greyhound
Taz-n-Lily replied to KizzaP13's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
it takes time to mature when out on walks and simmering with other dogs, but when out hunting with hounds and lamping at night the deerhound x knows exacly what to do from a young age (9months+) and i am saying this from experience of owning a deerhound x. but saying that, i have never reared any other x from a pup so will be interesting to see what other people day. They do normally take a bit longer to mature than most other types in general, but that's to be expected, especially if they turn out the larger deerhoundy or greyhoundy size, but that's a positive anyway, as it gives you mo -
Fair comments guys - I learn fast.

Ok, thanks for that. The dog already knows more than me .

If caught with rabbits but the case against you is poaching hares (and that depends who is bringing the case) you could get "a bit of" jail and a fine. And your gear and dogs confiscated. if your caught with rabbits then how can you get done for hare??you cant tget jail for rabbit or hare not unless you broke an asbo they put in place Wasn't there a Scottish case in 2010 where the guys were done on public land? Their defence was they were rabbitting. I think you have to be realistic here. It doesn't matter what you're intended quarry is if you are poaching. The RSPCA have mo

this morning at daybreak. Put the pup on the slip and crept up the side of a long hedge, when out comes a bunny about ten yards in front. Slipped the dog who was off and on it's tail! He boxed the bunny away from the hedge but it got around him a little further on and was through. He ended up chasing two more rabbits a bit further on with no real hope of catching. I will say rabbits can't half shift on flat ground with short grass. I thought the young dog did well though, and he came straight in to a quiet whistle after I let him continue his run on the far side of the field. Inexperie

I think what leegreen is getting at is that the lad came on here and asked for advice. Had some good replies. Then took his mums advice. Lol. Doesn't matter to me - if I give advice it's up to people whether they want to follow it or not. Under the circumstances I think the lad was right to go to the vet - nasty cut.

In this case you did the right thing.

Some interesting ( ) views on this thread............. Here's the risk. If you are poaching and have a weapon, even an airgun, that's armed tresspass and you can be done for it. If you are poaching and the landowner calls the police who in turn call the RSPCA you can be done for trespass or aggravated trespass, or if the CPS don't want to bring a case against you, cruelty by the RSPCA who almost certainly will bring a case against you because it's good publicity for them. If you are after illegal quarry the RSPCA will be called in, because its cheaper and less bother for the police t

Superglue won't help a puncture wound. What's better than saline solution to clean out a wound? Why is it the irrigation medium of choice with human wounds?
-
You may have a little puncture wound as well as the tear. Salt water won't track into a puncture. Thinking about the Clostridiums (gas gangrene and tetanus) - if the leg doesn't begin to respond to antibiotics within three days get the dog to the vet.

I did a little work on Ultrasound twenty years or so ago. At that time it was available in every Physiotherapy Unit in the UK (and probably Eire) and the results were unquestioned. Some bright spark decided to dig back to find out how it worked - guess what? No evidence. There may be some evidence now on how it works and how effective it is - I can't be bothered looking it up but if you were interested you could do a search on Google Scholar. A good rub/massage will do more and be better for your dog than any amount of Ultrasound.

Looking At Getting A New Lurcher What Breed?

The OP has already been to the vet and got treatment for the skin condition and worms.

I haven't had any experience of mange in dogs, but I've read up a bit on it - hope this is useful. First off, well done for taking the pup in - could prove to be a useful addition. The mange is in two parts - the irritation caused by the mite, and a secondary fungal infection. It should be diagnosed by a vet (which yours has been) because there are some other conditions which can mimic mange, but mange shampoos won't work with them. The pup should be isolated (as others said), but if your dog does start to show signs you can use the same shampoo and it will clear. Dpn't use strong

I have a staffie X whippet. Nice dog, but very high prey drive, and as such a real sod to call back in after she's chased.

What's funnier - The OP or the replies?

Well done - look forward to seeing the pics.

No need for a bandage, let the dog lick it, and saline soaks will help. Your dog, your call though. The vet will probably give your dog an antibiotic jab, make him wear a lampshade, and have you back for a checkup "just to make sure". In my experience, totally unnecessary and a waste of money.
-
Not true. A saline soak and letting dog lick wound will deal with any infection - unless the dog is otherwise unwell and it's immune system is compromised, .....ok, I just made it up......your last part is bit of a get out of jail card for saying a saline soak and dog licking wound will deal with any infection ,as if the dogs lamping fit/ worked hard, theres a very fine line with immune system and it being compromised .dont you think? Not at all. You said the dog would get infected if it was taken out. I said not, is all.

Make up a soak of saline solution salt water. Few shakes of salt to a mug of warm - not hot - water. Taste it. It should be just a bit salty. Apply a compress of flannel or cotton wool soaked in the saline solution to the wound with firm, not hard, pressure for a minute or so. Repeat until the bleeding stops. Th saline solution will not sting and is a good antiseptic. It won't harm your dog if he licks the wound afterwards (which is antiseptic in itself). The pressure should be enough to stop the bleeding. It may bleed for a day or two afterwards so I wouldn't plan any long activities to
