    Make sure it’s summat that do able. Pointless starting dog off on poached salmon am freshly cooked spinach rice to settle its stomach then figure out you can’t afford it anymore, find summat decent an preferably raw that you can get constantly, or stock up, last deerhound x I had didn’t like eating lots a dry food yet due to his size an work load he needed it, yet he would wolf raw down by the barrow load, use some decent live yoghurt an that over it an the dog be fine, do the best you can tho as a growing dog like that needs as much as possible an for al o don’t like them, a decent dry will give it everything, so the better you can get again the better ?

    I don't like complete either but it plenty good enough for most dogs just  mooching and odd nights on the lamp, most dogs don't get worked hard enough to need more elaborate diet ,once they done growing, t will be the tin stuff that give it the shits.

    Never read so much crap in my life,my beddy x has probably put more gear to bed on shoot days than most have had lamping all season ??

    my dog lamps 5 nights a week on 2 estates with the keepers,ferret and help on a dig,yes he’s gundog trained but only because people said it couldn’t be done and can be called off deer but will get on when required.
    here he is in a class of labs as a pup.

    If you read my post again it says not all , as for the spaniel kickers you get alot of city boys with high payed jobs move the country buy a gun , dog and all the expensive gear and know it all thinking there lord of manor , you would have seen it if your a keeper and you would also know if a lurcher wasnt up to scratch it wouldnt be on the shoot in the first place , i say half my mates are keepers but i never forget where i started.

    I would say very few keepers went to any  posh school none I know did lol, glad for you that you have a  dog your proud of mate, I picked up on a moor for a mate when he was short my cockers caught loads of rabbits but dont make em better than a good lurcher, be silly to draw a comparison imho.

    Not all gamekeepers went to snotty fordingbridge high school alot come from humble beginings and leart there trade both sides of the fence ?

    what is that mean 99% of keepers are ordinary working lads, and I would not swap one of my cockers for any lurcher on a shoot  day, we all see bad dogs, I seen a lot of disobedient lurchers.

    when I was a partridge keeper I used to do ten thousand a year and partridges are in and out the pen in about 12 hours, if you not on your game fox wise your stuffed, I am still on the same land with a few pheasants now, and possibly shoot 6 foxs a season and don't mind one or two about, the thing that pisses me off is the police giving tickets for foxing rifles to joe public with no keepering or farming interests, just for sport fox shooting is not a sport its a job, as for rabbits ive caught thousands ferreting and never whipped a place out yet. there are allot of holier than though people on here the ones that know the least say the most as usual.

    That’s the way society sees employing young people today, as if lads should be on their hands and knees begging for the chance to do a shit dead end job, for the bare minimum they can legally be paid. If they decide thats not for them and they don’t jump at every job going they get called ungrateful, spoiled, lazy etc. I did my fair share of shit jobs when I left school, more than enough actually, and it got me nowhere at all. In the end I decided to stop scrambling for all these “great chances” you hear about and do my own thing, and now I wish I’d done it years ago. 

    life is like that sadly and when you go on your own and get on the lazy cunnts that you try to employ think they can get a free ride to the top, like they think you did lol what do you do shadow.

    It’s easy to say about young lads being lazy, but I’d bet there’s been a lot of hardworking young lads sickened by the lazy b*****ds that employ/manage them. A lot of companies take young lads on with the promise of training, career progression & competitive wages, when in reality they’re just looking for someone to do all the shit jobs they can’t be arsed with for minimum wage, then when they get older and they'd have to pay them more they f**k them off and replace them with another 16-18 year old.

    Theres only so many days a keen young lad can get shouted & moaned at by some fat work shy idiot for minimum wage before he loses his work ethic. There’s more to life than that IMO and that’s the way a lot of companies treat young boys these days so there’s 2 sides to that argument.

    I used to dream up ways of killing my boss lol but there no jackers in my bloodline so I took it,,, and learned all I could and had a good living ever since, and done what I like, most young dogs that fail do so because of bad masters as well.

    my problem is silt in the deeper areas, the pond has a natural bottom and now about 18" of crap, I was wondering if I could pump it through a trap to catch the muck and let water run back in, I thought all the carp died last summer but this year this lot appeared, from a pound  down and they have grown nicely through the summer, any thoughts on the silt much appreciated cheers.
