  1. Forgot to say I think she's a Beddie x!
  2. Here is a pic of my new pup,she is now 9 months old and she was sold to me as a collie x grey x whippet / collie saluki, grey, out of top class parents She has been out lamping a few times but seems to be scared of the dark which is a bit of a bummer as I was told the old yarn that her parents knock em over night after night, blah, blah and she cost me a considerable sum because of her 'lamping bloodlines' and she still hasn't caught anything apart from a Myxy rabbit. Anyway time will tell.
  3. i have both pure deerhounds and deerhound x greyhounds. They are not good with pain ....worse than any other lurcher or sight hound ive known...the chase instinct is high but can be quite hard to enter to actually take stuff. Have coursed a lot of foxes over the years!!! Good on rabbits but due to sheer size are not good at turning. Health wise its vital to ensure that they come from heart tested and liver shunt tested parentage. what is the heart problem that deerhounds have? I knowof someone who's dog has an enlarged heart or some thing.
  4. classic looking deerhound type Jim, she's a peach
  5. it's a sad fact mate, though to be honest i think it goes with all groups of people who have the same interests, maybe we just take more notice of the people who we share are interests with and realise it's a funny old world and your better off keeping your self to your self
  6. Hi all, as anyone used the 'ROMO' biopulse magnatherapy unit? Do they know how it compares with the Portamag unit? thanks, H
  7. Ive always caught rabbits with young in from late jan onwards, nothings changed much as far as I'm concerned
  8. If you rest your dog properly and the break was do by a competent vet your dog should be fine mate,......but remember lead walking means LEAD WALKING keep your dog on a lead! once the vet thinks he's ok then get the physio on it and plenty of it,get the joint and muscles moving properly,time and rest is the greatest healer, ps ,..nice balls
  9. Sad news indeed, rip Lt.Col. Walsh.
  10. Not this time of year well dont ask such daft questions then , do you know what a rabbit looks like go to B&Q and buy some dowel it'll be much easier chap. If you do go for hazel don get the 1st yr growth get the second yr stuff as its more rigid.
  11. The've got hazel nuts on em
  12. My mate has a wheaten 3/4 grey shes 16 month old and is a tidy pup, she's very subserviant [sp] and rather timid with other dogs, she works rabbit well and has tracked afew wounded roe, what he wants to know is are wheatons slow starters as he doesnt want to put her into a situation too young thanks
  13. more of a characteristic of hemp when new i should imagine, neither a good or bad thing unless you want to carry it out of sight in a pocket. once used a few times im sure it will hang diferantly, still a good net though, not wanting to take anything away from it i admire anyone able to stick it out and make a net, i know how much it takes to do any length of net, well done. it was very rare that I found making the net boring,if I wasnt into knitting sometimes I'd do a few rows other nights i'd do afew yards I d did quite alot whatching the last england qualifer when they were knocked o
  14. Is that a good thing in your opinion MC?
