    I have a 5 month old deerhound x wheaten/greyhound pup and last night she caught a rabbit. Was a total accident on my part, I'd never seen a rabbit in that place and it was a myxi rabbit so didn't run particularly fast or far. It was the first rabbit she's ever seen. I wouldn't have considered entering her for another 7 months at least. This morning she went into a bush and came out with a nestling magpie. After both catches she decided the best thing would be to run away and eat it, totally ignoring the whistle and shouts. Ordinarily her recall is pretty good with the whistle and she is reaso

    I'm looking for a copy of 'The Mastiffs: The Big Game Hunters - Their History, Development & Future' by David Hancock in good condition if anyone has one they're willing to sell. Price must be reasonable. I know you can get the text online but I want the pictures too and like reading a real book better than virtual. Thanks

    Thanks all for the advise. I would love to be able to work the dog but as of yet have no permission and have no friends who do however i do let him hunt for and chase rabbits in the local woods a couple of hours each day and he catches the odd one. My brother also walks him for half an hr to an hour but its mostly road walking. And he gets played with regularly tug o war and throwing balls etc. I don't know whether his parents were gun shy. He hates the lawnmower and the hoover so we keep him away from them when they're in use. His ears are totally fine. Radio, tv (other than dogs), pans, most

    There's been a lot of shooting round my area recently mainly between 6-8pm when i usually walk the dogs but it goes on during the day as well so changing walk times doesnt overly help. One of my terriers is terrified of any shots (also fireworks, and the clothes horse for some reason) and will try to run home from wherever we are when he hears them. On lead he doesnt usually pull but as soon as theres a shot he pulls. If i tell him to heel he goes down so low hes almost crawling then heels for about 3 seconds then back to pulling. The shots can be heard from my house and on the housing estate

    Haha they don't retrieve prey anyway

    i'll try that cheers skycat and just used the blunt knife on the first dog and his canines are now spotless!
  10. jamesc94
    Ah right thanks guys i'll give that a go. But they won't eat veg that I give them. One eats small bits of fruit but the other won't touch any fruit either. Is there a way round this?
  11. jamesc94
    cheers mate i'll se if I can get one of those and give it a try

    Recently (about 3 weeks ago) I started feeding my dogs a raw diet and their teeth have cleaned up pretty well without me doing anything else. Except their upper canines and the upper molars on one side of one dog which look as bas as ever and I haven't noticed her favouring one side to chew with. Will these teeth clean themselves up too given more time or is there anything I should do? I've tried scraping them with my nail but the plaque/tartar (not sure which) is pretty solid and not going anywhere. They don't look as if they use their canines to eat with so I'm not sure how they'll clean up

    seems a shame that. I like the idea of the private packs best. Anyone know of a pirate pack in the northeast (preferably close to durham as I cant drive) that would allow me to come along during the season?

    desertdog why was it frowned upon? because they hunted roe or because they hunted in tsh&dssh country? why does it matter if they hunted a different quarry?
  15. jamesc94
    they look brill mate. Just what i'd be after if I wanted some hounds
  16. jamesc94
    you got any photos from any hunts or just of the hounds? sounds like a great little pack also how fast does this kind of hound run?
  17. jamesc94
    Would have loved to have been able to see that mate. what hounds did you use and how many? are roe ever brought to bay like the larger deer?
  18. jamesc94
    Little hedz it sounds like great fun mate. What size circles were the deer running in? and did the hounds favour any particular deer species so they'd break off one deer if another species trail was crossed?
  19. jamesc94
    Just curious to know whether pre ban there was anyone who hunted deer with their own hounds in the same way as the official packs? I seem to remember reading about some guys who hunted roe with hounds but not sure if I've just made that up lol
  20. jamesc94
    cheers mate. Anyone know about anywhere else?
  21. jamesc94
    Just out of curiosity does anyone know the law relating to the coursing of deer or similar (ie antelope, gazelle etc) in countries other than England, Scotland and Wales? I'm thinking particularly Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, Africa, Russia and eastern Europe but comments from/about other countries are welcome. I realise in most if not all of western Europe it is illegal
  22. jamesc94
    Haha ok thanks for explaining
  23. jamesc94
    cheers mate I'll give it a go but seems that would only be possible if she was very close to me at the time?
  24. jamesc94
    One of my terriers always follows a scent to where the rabbit came from rather than where it went even when the scent is only seconds old. Can I do anything to stop this or will she learn from more experience or will she always be like this?
  25. jamesc94
    Pre ban were any of the first herding dog greyhounds capable of catching deer on a regular basis during the daytime? All the threads I've read seem to be mainly about saluki and bull crosses
