Do you have future dates for this please? I'd love to come to the September meet :)

I've got a couple of tuffies beds that I bought in 2001, they still look good as new 13 years and 7 puppies later. They'[re expensive but a worthwhile investment. The 2 I have have not went flat at all and the dogs still love sleeping on them.

I would be guided by your vet, there are many medications that can help, my elderly collie is on a double dose of previcox which the vet was initially unwilling to give her but for me it's all about quality of life, not quantity of months/years left. This higher dose keeps her active and happy...

Yes, the saloon type plexidor, money well spent and they sell spares (not that I've needed any) so it should last forever. It also comes with a steel security cover for when you're away and can be locked if you don't want the dog out, or in :)

I feed Applaws to all my dogs now. Initially I tried it on my skinny youngster and he now looks fabulous, bodied up and his coat is improving a lot. I thought I would try the light version on my 3 spayed bitches and they're all doing very well. 2 collies and a silken windhound and they each get...

I've never used any drugs for kennel cough, a spoonful of benylin in a small amount of milk soothes their throat and as it's a viral infection antibiotics don't work, it runs it's course. The important thing is to keep the dog as quiet as possible, no walks - both because you don't want to...

I'll be there, it's a fabulous day out. Show classes and a wee shot of racing for all breeds, great snack bar too :)

I have a plexidor too, expensive to buy but absolutely brilliant. I do find on very windy days it blows open, I think twice over the last winter but in the main it is great. May be a bit excessive for a yorkie though :)

I don't think it is to do with the house move, Shevy sounds like a normal 10 week old puppy to me, sometimes (often!) they can seem savage or mad, it's merely puppy play and learning. Are you following Roger Mugfords 'The bite stops here' process, it really does work and it's important to teach...

You have very good taste ;) If you fancied a trip to Kent in July you should come along to the UK Silken Windhound Speciality show on 20th July in Five Oak Green. I already have my dream dogs, the silken windhounds. I first saw one online about 14 years ago and it took me 10 years to get my...

Love it, mine do stand off thing, staring at each other for ages till one gives up and runs, nominating themselves the bunny :)

Great photo of gorgeous dogs :)

I agree, I've never walked bitches in season and often marvel at the stupidity of those who do, as Chelynnah says some bitches have had litters from either very early or very late matings so it doesn't seem worth the risk. Not to mention that every dog owner is going to have a harder time...

Tanya, that is John Muir Country Park in Dunbar, Scotland, a wonderful place for dogs. DogzRUs, there are 38 silkens in the UK now and there have been 8 litters born here over the last 8 years. I've met a lot more than that at the European show in Germany and they are universally nice natured...

Thanks everyone, I agree Tigernidster and Pippywhippet he is a very easy dog to own, walk and take places as he just doesn't have a bad bone in his body. I would like him to race, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't he's my companion primarily :) TTT I don't want to work him, just curious why...

What are your experiences of prey drive in hounds? Do young dogs always show it or can it develop in time? My youngest silken windhound Spice (15 months) has no prey drive whatsoever, not that I really mind but it does mean he doesn't take racing seriously. At the weekend his big sister and my...

Wooohooo I'm in, with my two silkens and my friends whippet. We've been looking for something to do till the racing season starts again in April. Now, land, well we live in Scotland so have the right to engage in sporting activities pretty much anywhere, the only problems with using 'common...

TTT as Strix has pointed out needle or collar are not the only options, good old fashioned time consuming training will work every time. I've read that excuse many times from those that use the quick fix electric collar. The problem is that these collars don't actually solve anything, they...
