  1. @bird can't speak from experience but a few people I know reckoned a wheaton grey/collie grey was one of the best fox dogs they'd seen. Up Liverpool way, smooth black dog. A lad on here bred a litter too, he was a north east fella - said the mating worked well Just got to hope the desired attributes fall the right way in the offspring
  2. think griffons seem to have plenty of go and a good voice too. i knew a fella who had some and said they would hunt r/h/f/d, whereas his big hounds were easier to get hunting true to one quarry. think they can be quite ignorant once on but if you have the land and the time then crack on.
  3. lovely type, hope it goes well for you
  4. I wasn't referring to Brian in my comment BTW
  5. A few lines of terriers owe their existence to that dodgy deal
  6. think i've seen an old pic of MD with a pure wheaton on a treadmill
  7. i was told some very good bull crosses in the 80s came out of mayfield dogs from Plymouth
  8. No wonder his knees have gone carrying that thing about
  9. those videos on youtube look ancient, there's lines going across the screen - bloke must be pushing 70
  10. i remember the pics of butch and bruno they looked like proper digging types
  11. i saw one this way bred years ago (2007) out of a pure GWP bitch to a fast bull x type lurcher. dog was a lump, rough coated choc his party trick was retrieving dead foxes hunt for fun, lacked a gear nasty temperament arount terriers unfortunately i looked at the littermates - one looked like a bull x lab, one a traditional rough lurcher, the other like a visla colour with big houndy ears. No consistency
  12. used to be pics up of him most weeks but that was probably 15 yrs ago
  13. All sorted Turns out I don't need the adapter, can plug the usbs straight into normal UK usb plug
  14. can't fault it - tells you where they are direction wise and how far. nice little app on phone you can connect if you want to map a hunt. my spaniel x as yet hasn't opened up so its great as you know where she is at all times but having got used to it i'll feel naked going without it now lol
  15. Recently got a Dogtrace X30, happy with its performance in the field. But i plugged in to charge collar and box today and neither is charging. Because it's both I am guessing that it is probably the plug and/or adaptor. Anyone else experienced this? My other concern is that Dogtrace are online service only and have not responded to an email I sent over 2 days ago about an extra collar. So I am hoping they get back to me soon. I can do without waiting weeks to get sorted. Have considered nipping to electric shop and getting replacement but pretty clueless on it al
  16. ? in fairness he has always answered my emails they say he was a tidy huntsman too shoots on my cousins farm
  17. depends on the country you are hunting. if it's lots of thick cover and big forestry blocks, it will be tough for a handful of hounds to pressure the quarry enough to get up and go. but if it's open ground with little rush beds and small woods a small pack should do OK
  18. Old pics - fawn bitch been gone a couple of years and the old dog is nearly 13
