    New Year madness

    I'm 53 and fireworks have always been on sale to the general public. The big difference between then and now is that they wouldn't sell them to you unless you were old enough. So back then it was the parents that bought the vast majority of fireworks and keep then until bonfire night. As for the...

    Old age

    @Ari_RR I totally agree,the hiding I've seen quite a few times in my dogs and friends dogs as well. I always use it as sign that they've had enough and it's time to show how much love you have for them. It's hard,but it as to be done.

    Lost Whippet - what could have happened?

    That's grim,I really hope the little fella turns up. I know this advice isn't much good at the moment...but for the future. We put trackers on young lurchers just incase they go missing while chasing something. They don't cost a fortune,but save a lot of hassle and are easy to use just so long...

    Ari The Ridgeback (Sept 2010 - Dec 2018)

    A handsome boy he was,sorry for your loss. It was only a couple of weeks ago I was watching a Ridgeback lure coursing. The dog was having a whale of a time.

    Lessons learned - if we are to do this again...

    If I'm honest,I wouldn't change my approach to training a pup. I know how I've been shown by my father and grandad arent the modern ways of doing things. All I've known all my life are working lurchers and terriers. We always had good well balanced dogs,so if it ain't broke,why try to fix it...

    I'd like to be able to walk...

    I can understand where the OP is coming from,anyone should be allowed to go for a nice walk hassle free. Any dog who is wearing a muzzle will look intimidating to a none dog owner regardless of weather the dog is friendly or not. So I totally get how people have a problem with dogs running up to...

    just a rant

    That's not a bad idea,because it will be on record then if the council get involved.

    just a rant

    And this is why I have more time for dogs than I do 80% of people. Sad,but true. Give em both barrels.

    Any knowledge of Arkwrights?

    If you tap In Arkwright dog food reviews you will see one for the Horse and Hounds forum. Someone as put a dog food review of lots of different dog foods using a traffic light system. It flags up red, no good I'm afraid,but have a look you could get some good pointers for better food.

    Food aggression lead to my mum in hospital- please can someone help

    Don't beat yourself up,we all can make mistakes,none of us are perfect when I comes to dogs. None of them are the same,it's just it can take longer with some to find the right key to open the door to a long and happy life together .

    Dog breed advice please

    Border terriers can run for miles,they were breed to run with the hunt. Belive me,they have the stamina to keep going. They are as sharp as a razor and confident dogs who will let you know when something is about. As a general rule they are very good with people,but other stuff like rabbits and...
