Here's a good tip for all you new pup owners, get your pups used to hairdryers. They save a load of hassle and reduce the time of wet smelly dog time. All of my dogs loved the hairdryer treatment both lurchers and terriers.

They wouldn't dare get in my van, you need to put a biohazard suit on just to open the door. Lads at work call it The Skip, the foot well is level with the seat, well I think there's still a seat there. It does have a plus side, I don't have to lock it up.

It's easy to forget about Dachshunds and what they are. Some have to take drastic action to stop them following that nose.

You've got a sent hound mixed with a terrier. Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers, foxes and rabbits. Your dogs super nose maybe going into overdrive on a night, now throw JRT into the mix. If you look at the two breeds things may start to make sense.

Lucky dogs ... It would be a crime to let it go to waste

Anything and everything can go wrong, but when they know when to stop being a dickhead and bring their A game to the table they are a sight to behold. When they are stood motionless with that 1000 yard stare, you are waiting for that first twitch...... BOOM... they are gone, it takes your breath...

Saluki x Collie.... Now that's my kind of dog. Is he a straight cross or 3/4.

If that hole was big enough for that dog to get down ,it's lucky it didn't get the shock of its life down there.

I was thinking just the same the other day.

Great dogs, treat him well and train him well and you will have one hell of a dog. They are smart cookies, with endless amounts of energy, i love em. I've never had a bad one yet they've all been happy well balanced dogs with no issues. I've worked full-time and had border terriers all my life...

You are right about terriers

You could go and meet up with the Yorkshire whippet racing club. They have a wealth of knowledge on whippets. They race for fun on Sundays, the dogs love it.

They are going off like mad here, I had to check the time, I thought I'd fallen asleep and it was midnight. The beauty of having a dog that's half deaf now

12 years old is middle aged for border terriers. All my border terriers were running (well jogging around) and still actively hunting around at 15 years old. They are terriers and don't know when to give up. I've got one looking at me now who's 18 years old, granted she's slowed down now but...

There should be a warning on posts that show puppy pics. Go on send her up to Yorkshire to come and stay with me. It can't resist a pointy face.

What a sad tale, hope your dog makes a full recovery.

Just do what millions of people are doing right now, carry hand sanitisers with you as well as gloves. I know it's easy for me to say, it's just a thought though

A lose fitting flat collar which will come over a sighthounds head can be backed out of if the dog puts the brakes on and pulls backwards. With a martingale type it will tighten to the right size to stop the dog doing this.

They slip over the dogs head when they are slack. You adjust to fit your dog so when it's tight it fits like a flat collar so it won't come over the dogs head. When you are walking with a slack lead they slacken off,dog pulls the collar tightens up but not past what you've adjusted it to so it...

I know loads of people who use martingale collars on there dogs. Mind you they are all lurcher link dogs, they don't have any problems with them. If my memory is correct weren't they designed to be used on sighthounds in the first place.
