My boy Scapa (named after Scapa Flow). Four months old at the moment. We’ve been working hard on those early stages of the Blueprint. A lot of work, but he’s shown great development already. Can be a stubborn wee bugger when he wants though

Spent a few weeks down the top of the South Island with the Wife and the dog, had a good look around and did plenty of great days hikes in the area, here a a couple of photos that I really liked from our last hike up Mt Isobel in Hanmer forest park. Love been in the mountains with the dog and this time of year the colours and light are amazing. Great country we live in to be able to have access to these areas.

Turned my back for 3 seconds.
Poor fella had a bit of a rough trip. First run in with stinging nettle, bee stings and looks like a limp tail.
This is the second time this has happened… Every now and then we’ll get a resident ferret or three come setup nearby, usually when we’ve got a problem with mice (which we have had recently, along with rats). This means a stealth war of seek & destroy… because if there’s one thing you can’t do if you’re a ferret, is hide your presence from my Staffy.
Unfortunately when he tackles ferrets, he gets bitten. This is exactly the same outcome as last time, a day or so after the battle there’s a small lump, like a sting, then a few days later he grows a huge bloody abscess on his jaw. It started suppurating over the weekend, then broke through onto the surface last night.
Stoic dog he is though, lay there on the vet’s table this morning and allowed her to stick a bloody big aspirating needle into him, wiggling it around, sucking out pus. In and out, round and round. No drama. All good. I said to my teenager, mate you won’t even pop that dirty great chorb on your chin cos its too sore, diddums.
So, antibiotics and no hunting.

Just...say...the...word
Aw rest and treats sounds like the go then
Sounds a bit like my old huntaway when he tried chewing a possum that wasn't quite dead and got a facefull of claws. Lucky no vet that time.
I would think the reward outweighs the pain later. I hope you let him give it a good chew after it was dead.
Moki and a bit of kaimai venison. One of his best finds for me after a few months of no hunting. Winded it from a couple hundred metres and led me on to it to shoot at 20m. Lots of scraps for him that night
