Mine does the same, more when the ground is very hard/frozen, and they get very sore/bloody when he's been tearing about. I wrap his with vetwrap (adhesive) bandages :) love vetwrap as you can get all different colours!!

Thanks again everyone. I will give the dog rocks a try. I was worried the dogs would eat them but I've just looked on their website and it says you can also put them in a jug and top up the bowl using the jug - sounds easier and will allow me to clean the bowl more than once every 2 months! x

Thanks all. I've seen the dog rocks but they are quite expensive and I didn't want to part with cash if they didn't work!! :rolleyes:

Does anyone have a tried and tested solution?? :confused:

My two are left on their own for at least 8 hours per day and are fine (including relatively new rescue dog who was completely un housetrained when we got him - now clean all day! Thanks to Cayla for the crate advice :cool:) They are big dogs, they get a 45 min off lead walk in the morning...

Thanks for the info guys :)

Sorry to jump on the back of this post, just wondering as well where people have got their ex-racers from? Do you approach trainers direct or go to the sales?

Before I forget, ths place in Wiltshire is ABSOLUTELY great, again, lots and lots of walks from doorstep, straight down into park which then leads onto a disused railway path which goes for miles and miles; Wiltshire downs for walking and about 10 mins away from Avebury; 20 mins from Bath; 30...

Hello everyone and happy new year. Rupert (rescue dog) had signs of worms when we homed him a few weeks ago, skinny, food obsessed, thirsty, irregular stools, and 'sledging' on the carpet :eek::mad: Had wormer from vet when he was castrated, round about the first week in December...

Defo working lines, but not registered :)

No problem - my OH acquired her at 4 weeks old :eek::eek: as one of the litter died and the mother abandoned the rest of the puppies :( She seems none the worse for it - no issues with separation etc - the only strange thing that she does that I think is probably a result of being weaned too...

Couple more of meg just to show her ears in proportion to her body :D as well as her tarheels and pencil toes (just about).... Note destroyed football in background, which lasted all of about 10 seconds before madam punctured it to death. :D
