  1. Afternoon. I have a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 kelpie 20 months old. It is the best lurcher I have owned however as I have taken on new work commitments over seas I have no longer the time to look after her. It is a shame to keep a dog of this quality and not get the use out of her. I am just outside Lisburn NI. If anyone is interested in giving a her a good Permanent working home then please PM me for more details. Cheers.
  2. Hi Mate.. Where abouts are you?? I am In lisburn..
  3. Great website lads I hope all goes well with your campaign!!
  4. Just picked up a pup of cooklands, he keeps fantastic stock!! Pup now 16 weeks, extremely clever and very bidable. Great to see the old line still being bred!
  5. I used concrete and rubber stable matting for the sleepin area! Great stuff!
  6. I have first cross, not out of this breeding but, at 18 months this is his first season, @ 28tts looks big mature dog but still has a few puppy traits about him. Lifted a few rabbits an a long ear, he Is coming on really well, but I will not start him on anything more challenging until well over 2yrs , IMO these dogs need alot of bringing on and the more easy catches you give them to build confidence the better they are. I think deerhound is a fantastic mix for working lurcher, they are a well mannered all round sound dog. But I suppose it's all about the time ur willing to put into them. Atb
  7. Cheers man, I have two hobs here and it would just save having to separate them when they are older.
  8. Does castration effect the working abilities of a hob ferret?
  9. Nice lookin hare, dogs goin some to be liftin them at that age. Have a dhxgrey starting his first season. Lookin forward to it atb !!

  11. Got into the game by accident, went to the pound with my girlfriend and there was a wee 3 month old collie x there, I had kept gun dogs before, and had done some research, Have never looked back since. Once you get one u'll not have anything else.
  12. I have a pup that picked up an injury and had to be restricted to a crate for two weeks. I got some advice to change her diet to help with recovery. I started feeding her raw chicken wings and minced beef small amount of brown bread and some grated carrot. Her condition completely changed, coat is shining she has put a bit of weight on, she is only doing a quarter of the crap, and she has completely recovered. I really couldnt get over the change in her. The big dog has just been changed over. I would recomend this to anyone, It is a bit more hassel and slightly more expensive but well wort
  13. No mate only happened last night. I have her in a travel cage, in the house, to be honst I could let her out cos she is not moving too far, must be bad cos she was a complete live wire before.
  14. Hi I am looking for a bit of advice. I took posession of a new pup 4 weeks ago. She had an accident last night when playing. Not totally sure how it happened but judging by the bang sounded like she hit the trailer. I took her to the vet because she couldn't put weight on right leg, and was clearly in alot of pain. She stayed over night and got x-ray thankfully not broken but has compressed growth plate. So he gave me anti inflams and told me total rest for a week. She is still in alot of pain. Are there any supplements which I can give her or anything else I can do to help her make a fu
  15. Hi Yea I have one of similar breeding, 1/2deerhound 1/4collie 1/4greyhound. He is now 17 months I was in the same situation as yourself, They are a very laid back pup and dont take kindly to strong repremanding. Mine still walks to heel when we are out, but as soon as he gets a sent he turns into a different dog. I didnt see any of this until he was a year old, He has a very high prey drive and is facing cover well and will jump anything infront of him, I had my doubts at first, but be patient, I wouldnt change him for anything!!
