What a fantastic looking dog. Hope he works out well for you mate. thanks your right about like a wolf lol, when he been running in the snow, he as been grabbing Bryn back hock, and stopping him from running. he looks just like them timber wolfs you see on the nature telly progams pulling down deer, i swear he training on Bryn lol !

sowhat 1,572 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Make sure there kept nice and warm if kept in a kennel, add abit of suet to their main meal once a day through the winter months. Our 3 pups have 2 heat lamps on through the night, and 1 on through the day time, good luck with them. Quote Link to post

sowhat 1,572 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 my lurcher pups somtimes look a bit tin they get fed twice a day on pedro gold and also get boild chicken its just sometimes could it be as there getting older and taking a strecth there wormed to date cant put my finger on it its only the odd time they go like that i feed them a lot of feed so that isnt the issue any toughts on this tanxs Sometimes its as well to feed smaller meals but more often. My pups are still fed 4 times a day ,and they're 15 weeks old.I'll do this until they're 6 months old, then drop them down to 3 meals a day Its easier for them to digest, and they aren't overloaded this way. Also mine have raw chicken wings every day Add some pics ,they might not be as thin as you're thinking 1 Quote Link to post

I'm not saying everyone should feed this way, but being retired I'm in a postion to be able to. Quote Link to post
