well i dont think having a vet is a bad thing is it? i know what u mean, i think it is a shame though as i work in horse racing and betting causes no problem there, within the racing community(among trainers/lads owners etc).

anyway i'm not a breeder i'm a trainer if anything!!

No i've got no intention of breeding from him. I think on his personality and sum other traits he'd make an interesting lurcher but i'm not gonna do it. anyway there's a difference between having views and airing them and trouble making (in a non-supressional environment anyway)

nobody - but a lot of ppl for example spay bitches to avoid seasons and the percieved probelms that they pose, or cut dogs in the beleif that they will be less aggressive.

I've been coming into sum heavy flak on a pedigree/showing forum and would like sum help and advice from this saner branch of the dog world!! I have an entire dog; he is very strong and healthy, but due to chest infections in his first month and generally being a runt he is small. He had one...

Hi there! I have three sharp and gutsy cocker spaniels - if they were longdogs i swear they'd do very well coursing/lure coursing. I'd love to run them in lure courses, or even races. Are there any events run for dogs other than logdogs? regards Sam
