Go for it mate......give him sum stick....in a nice way......just make sure your armed with your facts and answers.......they still will disagree with you I bet......although there are some out there who are into raw...but must admit they are few and far between..........we used to see Megan Kearney (she is a homeoptahic vet and used to write for 'Your Dog' Magazine), and she is from New Zealand, which over there is is VERY common to feed raw, and in her opinion is the BEST way to feed.......also she added that in all her years of practicing she has never come across a problem with an animal and feeding this way.........the problems she has had with dogs is when they are fed COOKED bones, and they can cause SERIOUS damage.........sadly her parents were ill and she went back home, shame as she really was on the ball and a really nice lady

I have a Bull/Whippet/Greyhound lurcher and a couple of terriers, always good for a day out on the rabbits or a night on the lamp. We often end up with a pheasant, if not there's always shooting (roughshooting not shooting for sport). On permission I should add!!...

forgot to say Taking pheseant with rifles is against the law! if people want game get yourself in the beating line good for you and the dog.

Only time I got pheasants were from the butcher/farm shops etc.....but they are too expensive now anyway.........my rabbits are shot from a chap who, when called by the land owners, goes and clears as best he can with the gun, which he has a license for........all my stuff that i get has come from legal sources.......so we are all happy as pigs in s**t .............if your ever passing my way after a pheasant day out if you get them your more than welcome for a coffee as long as you fetch a boot full of pheasants .......can't say fairer than that pal

[Emmaj]

LOL cheek gets you everywhere

my dad used to get pheasants alot from a guy that used to do the beating thing

hmmmm wonder if my lil springer would be any good at that lol
