    Bitch seems to have recovered. 2nd opinion said it was what it was originally diagnosed as, and was was nerve damage caused by trauma ... her half sister and her be scraping the whole time. A bit of muscle rehab by chewing and all should be back to normal soon.

    Thanks @DogMagic2. I will give an update here in a couple weeks. It is a right pain tbh!

    Hi All, Went out to the kennels tuesday evening and one of the bitches had her mouth open and drooling. Thought first she had swallowed something or got a sting from a wasp but couldn't find anything. Brought to vets and a few quid later after an x-ray etc was told she had trigeminal neuropathy. The vet said it was very rare and had to read up on it herself. Left with 2 weeks of anti inflammatories. Anyone else ever see this? Typical time to recover? Are they susceptible to it again? I have a big syringe now for hand feeding and keeping her hydrated but wonder if it is all in vain.

    @FUJI, great thread. What is the best type of dog for the mountains in your opinion? As in what way bred. Or another way of asking is what way bred was the best running dog you had for the mountain?

    Deerhound caught a mink last summer as it made its way across a rocky beach. Anyone ever catch an otter ? would always thought that one would do a lot of damage to a lurcher.

    I have killed a few white tail with a bow . They are similar size to a fallow. In Maryland and Virgina where I have hunted it seems ideal country for working a lurcher or 2. Small blocks of wood surrounded by big corn fields. I've seen and owned a few types. Best to take deer I have seen was a collie hound. Can't see why a big 1/4 bred collie hound wouldn't take deer regularly. Those blocks of wood seem perfect for a lurcher to find and course deer from. A lot of the wood land in that part of the country that I have seen is mature and open, would def see a lurcher killing deer in it, bu

    He openly states he doesn't work his dogs - for legal or illegal hunting. He has a lot of opinions on working breeds(not just strong dogs), how they work, and what crosses would work and what wouldn't. Yet he doesn't work dogs. I am sure he is a nice fella, he is entitled to an opinion and is clearly passionate about dogs, but any person preaching about working dogs without working them ?.... saying people should cross a Pitbull with a Kerry Blue as a Kerry Blue would bring more to a cross than a working Wheaton....

    She will be a fast bitch. From my experience with dh's I'd be leaving her till 24 months but, you know your own dog. Really like them as a breed of dog, brains to burn but can frustrate the hell out of ya at the same time. Only my experiences of a few dogs tho. I have seen some top dogs and some that would be best suited as an enormous lapdog.

    Plenty foxes about Maximus but plenty of lads making them wide to the lamp ?

    I don't know the guy but he is very opinionated on working dogs, yet he doesn't work dogs...

    I find adding OCEANFEED GREYHOUND+ to a diet for a certain amount of time is great to stimulate appetite for when you want to add weight to a dog. Off topic but I learnt a great tip from DC on here about adding raw garlic every now and then to keep fleas and ticks away. All the best with getting the dog into top shape.

    All the dogs I have bought have been shite, all the dogs I have been gifted turned out to be good workers
