    I once saw beast run and retrieve a fen hare at eight year old,cant remember the names of the cream coloured pups out of him but they were good looking strong animals,they were on a video where they were also running the whites on the heather,good classy dog beast,dont remember ever seeing him run in any organised comps though

    This is what I use...simple and very effective...used this for 2 seasons... And if I lose it, which I will do one day...it'll cost pennies to replace and take 30 seconds to make... IMG_0782.JPG IMG_0790.JPG I'm guessing by the look of your lead you work your dogs,but what us keyboard coursers like is a big shiny leather with brass fittings look the part matching collar and lead set for when we are mincing around the country shows,anyway how is the rosette collection coming on

    Think it could be something to do with the dvd's,when a dog is coursing on small land and you see the fence posts,trees or whatever whizzing by you get a sense of speed,but a lot of the runs on the fens just look slower as it's such open land,maybe if you are standing on a fen with the hurricane winds blowing in your face it is different,but for someone like me watching from the armchair it can look a lot more relaxed,watched a greyhound coursing on the fens on dvd recently and that looked slow aswell,looked like he was never going to get to the hare

    different comp now a days pre ban the dogs earned the right to run not going through on byes and all that carry on best dog from the clubs ran in the comp not like now if you got the £££ your in Yea but unless these dogmen in these clubs gave up over night, there must still be good dogs out there and the guys just aren't interested in the comp. no matter if you buy your way in, the best dog should win. Which brings me to the point I've always made. Even in the forleys height, there were good dogs and dogmen weren't interested in it so its never really been a completion that if you won it yo

    One classy bitch that I think deserves a mention is Hammy's Nancy ,the champion that never was from 1997,not trying to take anything away from J T's sniper,but in my own personal opinion,I preferred Nancy's running style and intensity,the course where she picked the hare up just before it got into that wood,then casually trotted away with the hare in her mouth was superb,as T H put it ,it's one hell of a run

    I'd end up with half the local wino population invading my garden for a free drink if I did that Slugs would beat them to it,but if it's that rough where you are a yeast and water mix will do the same job

    Horrible b*****d stuff the barbed wire,nearly disembowled one of my old bitches,my mates terrier ran in front of her just as she was about to jump the last fence at the end of a good trip out,wish it could be banned and replaced with black/hawthorn hedging etc,increase wildlife habitat at the same time,look on the bright side though,plenty of time for the young fella to heal and be fit again for the season atb mate

    I leave food down 24/7 mate as of yet,they eat 3 large pans of Alpha Puppy Feed which is good scran,29% protein,16% oil..plus to that I mix an equal amount of Chudleys Greyhound Crunch..(dry meat) and its 55% protein..I don't even soak it lol..plus they get raw scran lol..the b*****ds can eat..they always carry a good back in them...as they get older I will reduce their feed to once or twice per day but for now I will just keep firing it in lol..they need it with the mileage they get haha.. 55% protein ffs no wonder they are so well grown,if the old knees dont hold up you'll be able to sa

    The amount of supplements that are available these days is unbelievable,protein,creatine,calcium,amino acids to name but a few,is it any wonder that we consider using these either for animals or for ourselves at times,all the fancy labels and bold claims,if you are nursing a broken jaw and eating through a straw they may be some help,but all that synthetic powder form nutrition surely cannot be too healthy after a while

    Another alternative could be milk,I used a high protein milk powder with some added honey and glucose for my pups and they loved it,all the best with your new pup anyway

    Forgot to mention there is also a 25% protein option made with salmon and smoked salmon also with the sweet potato,be a nice alternative for the veggies (antis) among us

    At nearly fifty quid per 13.6 kg bag,it'll only be the dogs that get a look in

    I was just reading about this grain free dry feed made from bison,venison and sweet potato,and was wondering if anyone has tried it,I've been losing a bit of weight recently and at 32% protein sounds like it could be of some use,be good to see what the dogs make of it also
