    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    If the sabs deem they have won they will turn to other activities of that there is no doubt. They won't stop at hunting either! So be careful what you wish for folks 😉

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    Well I for one will not put @Clodagh on UI she says it as it is and is so right. I get that hunting is an emotive subject but please be realistic! Clearly people who have not been involved closely with kennels have no idea. Have never seen huntsmen in tears putting down hounds or their old...

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    Like any other animal decisions are made in the best interests of hounds. Some go back to their puppy walkers to live out their lives, some are drafted to other packs where they may be more suited and yes some will be shot.

    Absolute Dogs puppy farm allegations

    It was the same at Crufts this year. When Micro comes in you can guarantee those dachshund sorry wcs will be bred even smaller!

    The agility thread

    My agility sidekick is currently at LIHS currently walking the course for the ABC INT. Am so excited for her and a friend is going to live stream. Apparently they are not allowed to wrap the first jump due to the timer.

    I prefer winter shows as my girls do. I did do a show the other week. It was so wet with rain of biblical proportions. The car park had rivers and the girls were not amused 😐 plus I had a bad cough / cold. Maybe I wasn't in the zone but felt quite down. Pebs went rogue again in the agility...

    To Bute or not to Bute?

    When my boy was a little unlevel on sharp turns my vets advice was to give him bute and take him hunting. We already did hunt. He was a big heavyweight boy, loved his hunting and carried on until his 20s. I have no ethical issue with it. He had some before and after hunting and hacked bute free...

    Feel more positive today 😀 Lovely day today at my club show and boy I got my steps in as was doing leads ! Girls were super. Daz for some reason was a bit sniffy for a 5 in the weaves in the jumping but we did the tricky bits well including the wafty bits 😂. Then in the agility why jump fence 3...

    Bitting advice for Ozzy

    For those of you of an older generation, like me, I always think that the Salox bits are a posh and safer version of the old nickle bits lol

    Can anyone tell me about airedales?

    I was probably on that walk with my 2 😂😂 they are a vocal breed definitely. But the minis are happy, cheerful, adaptable and are definitely characters! Coincidentally the chap that grooms my girls also has Airedales.

    My dogs are small but won't measure in at 280 as have withers and would struggle at 300. Clearly they don't see it as a welfare issue if leaving it until 2027. Honestly makes you feel like giving up! I too will walk at wrong height if I know am in different classes although under new proposals...
