As said (and most likely not what to hear) a dog is somewhat of a long term commitment. As an example we have a pointer (did have 3) and live in town. The need a good off lead run in a safe place...

I put in the full 12 months on the blueprint with my dog in central Auckland. It requires daily training and discipline in handling. It is not a family friendly program - all my mates have had...

Dogs need regular exercise and indicator dogs need regular work or they go off the boil, six weeks is too long between jobs. It would take a while each hunt to get back in the groove unless it had...

If you want to have a dog around as a companion, then by all means go for it, knowing full well it is a major commitment as said above. I have a border collie/heading dog and she is firstly me mate...

Update: I can confirm a warm soapy bucket of water for 24 hours works a treat. Peeled off easy as with a flat-head screwdriver and knife to make a few small cuts. Made sure to keep well away from...

Quarries and chicken farms were not there in 1942:P. There's a forum member who was the Range certifying officer for West Melton a wee way back. He may pop up and allay your fears that the range...

I would suggest that if the NZDF started using the West Melton Range 24/7, then we would all have slightly more to worry about than a bit of noise.
