Re: kennel CCTV/Cameras

We are using the d-link ip cameras. They are around £60 each we use our iPhones/pads with the mydlink app.they work fine day or night. We find the microphone to check any noise from the dogs really useful. The only downside we found was having to use a PC to set them up as we didn't have one ( used ...

Re: Stud suggestions

We have just used Helmsway Hawk of Witchwillows and we are really pleased with them really strong busy pups. Also although it makes no difference to the pups we found George to be a really good guy who was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We left our bitch with him as she was a maiden bitch with t...

Re: Serious Face Ready to Hunt

With the pedigree they have I thought they would all have gone. Could of sold 20 bitch pups but not so with the dogs. If needs be will keep and sell when part trained or trained.

Re: Springer keeps laying on pups

Thanks for replies. Will give anything a go. Hopefully as said everyday they get bigger and therefore less easy to lay on.

Springer keeps laying on pups

Our springer had a litter 10 days ago even being in a large whelping box with rails keeps sitting/laying on her pups. We have been with her constantly since she had them. We seem to rescue at least one a day. When the pup 'screams' she takes no notice and just looks bemused. She is a maiden bitch. J...

I was told that it would be about 14 days to build a box, I told them the due date and they assured me that I ...

I am fortunate that I have a 1 acre pen stocked with wild rbits. I am interested in opinions on the be...
