Just to note - the Happy Dog tinned "pure" do state that other proteins may be present due to the manufacturing process so while they work for the majority of dogs they are not suitable for a true exclusion diet. The Peptide Plus hydrolysed options are my go to for a hydrolysed diet these days

If he is itching on a hydrolysed diet (Ci is hydrolysed, not sure which RC you were using - I'm sure you told me!) but with no extras/treats/other stuff added then the food isn't the problem - the whole point of hydrolysed is that the proteins are in such small units that they don't cause immune...

Pretty much everything is going via Belfast - they've had to massively up their vet staffing for checks. Same loop hole for dogs. Travel via Belfast/Larne from UK and then on to ROI without Rabies/AHC by using the free pet travel document and declaring that you aren't entering ROI....!

Why? Several flew out there this week from various countries to race

Are the pigs belonging to someone or are they feral?

I have a few - they're very useful on wet days when you don't want soggy canvas dummies in your vest training several! The mini Mallard, teal, widgeon and partridge are similar sizes - cheapest from Muntjac Trading

It's a Dokken - looks like the Partridge. Sporting Saint sell them as do others
