Millet 4,497 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Gafer how do you stop the dog from jumping out of that mill of your's..the proper Greyhound one i have seen are fully enclosed with a mesh front so the dog can see out and a trap door on the back in case the dog fall's over so it get shot out the back..that kind of mill does not need a dog to be dangerously on the lead..

Millet 4,497 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Fair doo's Gafer if you can stay with them .. ..have you thought about bording the side's and back and putting a mesh front on that way you can leave them to it safely especialy if they is a trap door in the back..if Moll see's this she my be so kind to stick a few pic's up of her's..

the big chief 3,099 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 i don't mind staying with them that way i can keep an eye on things don't wont my pride and joy to get hurt. it has some rails with mesh on the sides its just the front and back have a look on ebay they are on there shows you better Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Not a dig at you but i don't like the design Gafer...if it was fully enclosed with a back trap door i would be happy with it.. Quote Link to post
