    Try cooking, if he eats it, then just gradually reduce the cooking time until he is eating it raw. A lot of dogs are not familiar with the texture of raw, and need time to get used to it.

    Tidy job he's done And yes, cracking dog. I do love my merle collie x's, and he has the build to go with it.

    Some of the pictures he took have been amazing - lovely one of the clouds over the Lake District, and one of the Isle of Man as well I think.

    Quit being so fussy - it will only take a bit of windolene and perhaps some of that spray stuff that makes the tyres look wet, and they'll be fine.

    That first pic is a stunner. Shame on you leaving Ruby Pom behind though...

    Mine get some pasta/rice if there is left overs from what I am cooking, but they really don't need large amounts of carbohydrate. Shoving a load of green veg, carrots and spuds into a stock pan, with a chicken/rabbit ( or both ! ) carcass, and boiling for a while sorts out the veg - they happily eat cooled "soup" a few times a week to keep the veg level ok. The rest of the time it is chicken or rabbit, either whole or minced.

    Very true - I read that a few times, and still couldn't get it to sit right in my head, but there is enough truth and evidence in *some* of what is there, to make it sound like it would work. I tend to work on the basis that if it doesn't happen in nature, and the animal seems to cope... then it probably isn't needed.

    If he is getting a decent BARF diet, he should be getting all he needs anyway ( there is BARF section on here, with loads of more advice ) - if he isn't keen on dry, it can be a struggle to get them to take it regularly. If I take my lot away for a couple of weeks, and there is no facility to store BARF, then they have dry, but I usually end up having to add gravy/chappie/cod liver oil etc to get them to eat it - and even then they are not impressed. One thing that helps, is not making a fuss over it for the dog - put the food down, and if it isn't eaten in 15-20 mins, take it away again

    How lovely

    My dogs love to run alongside - doesn't matter what - cycle ( I do about 8 miles 3 times a week) running ( 4-6 miles each morning) or with the horses ( 2-3 hours, pace depending on terrain) they just love to mooch along with whatever I do. It reinforces the training, as well as keeping them fit, nails trim, pads healthy, and most importantly they stfu in the house.

    There is a flock ( is that the right word ?! ) of llamas around here - behind decent stock fencing - they are used for fleece. They are noisy, and not very friendly, and the footpath runs alongside the fence, so they come over and try and spit on you if they see you - me and the dogs very bravely run that section of the path.... very quickly

    Not swayed by any of these then, Lara ? Oh some of them are class, thats for sure ....

    He looks great for his age - I do love to see the oldies still out and about enjoying themselves. A real credit to you.

    I'm a vet nurse, now doing A/E nursing as well - been hunting since early teens, and shooting from not much after that. Lots of Vets shoot, less hunt than I remember from years ago, but that could well be time constraints as much as anything. One of the vets I work with now, was point to pointing with me 15 years ago, and we still meet up hunting. I certainly can't see it counting against you .
  18. LaraCroft
    Yep - such a good thing to see isn't it

    People doing all sorts of things. A mobile phone A Snickers wrapper Nothing more interesting than that !

    Agree - but mine seem to need me to instigate the chase - not with a lamp always, but with direction. When I am out walking and not intending to do anything more than walk, they pay no attention to game appearing, apart from an ear flick and a "look". When on the lamp, or when slipped, it is "death to whatever seen", but when I mooch, they seem to mooch swell. I would hope natural instinct will kick in, but I am not holding my breath !

    Mine would be fine if the Wild provided meals, coats and soft beds. They would make do with a kebab van for a while, but they really need a decent diet... In short, when I die, they are calling Lurcher Rescue PDQ !

    Good to see - and when not knuckling over ( after placement, I suspect) , seems fine to weight bear, so signs are all really positive Fantastic

    my bull cross wears a thigh wig in the winter and for shows Did you do any better at the shows when you changed it from "side parting" to "dodgy looking comb-over" I think that is where I am going wrong with my Yorkie x Malamute
  24. LaraCroft
    Get those ears brushed !
  25. LaraCroft
    IMO ( and it is only that - my way of doing things ) If I think my dog looks like it has had enough, I have already gone a little too far. I like to quit on a good note, and before the dog starts showing signs of looking like it has done too much.
