He won't let go of out mate even when. He's tripped it ten times he's been dragged a mile Never mind a large cat lol he's 5 times the size mate

mC's thinking, bull crosses running hares ? Lol

You couldn't hold the dog and if you tied it up it would do cart wheels, no good when it's a big half cross, lamp a couple of hares on the drive down to the land and it settled him down a bit lol. He was one of the nicest looking dogs you could wish to see, nearly shiny black with flashes of white, built to perfection and good on Charlie and the grunters.

Yeah pretty standard that, I’ve had a couple myself that used to get so wound up you had to take them out for a spin before they settled in . The worst I’ve seen personally was owned by a young lad in our circle , we let my dog out on a hare and when we got back in it had pushed itself through the mesh factory fitted dog Guard on my vans bulkhead. The dog also gave mouth like nothing else I’ve heard on its first run until it had settled but when it did it was a serious tool at its job , I stand by what I’ve said , all this secret squirrel omertà regarding wheaten crosses , they ar

Have you seen any go stiff,iv seen a good few over the years,good mixed through a lurcher,tho they don't all make the grade same as any cross

First Barbel of the season last night,river was extremely low and full of weed,was hard going tbf...just started packing up and putting kit back in the car...and my upstream rod went over...I've missed the sound of my old whiskers screaming in the darkness ...

Never really seen a wheaten lurcher in action but heard they are the real deal. But, come on, a good bull cross is a chainsaw on legs. My uncles mate had a bull cross that went berserk when chucked in the motor and when I say berserk when he went lamping he used to throw it out on a hare or two just to try and settle it down, when it spotted something on the lamp it used to try and jump through the windscreen. Lol

Yes mate but then it needs the energy an bollocks to kill when it's hanging of the dogs face lol

Finnish or finish?

Wheaton’s are scrap let’s have it right

I'd love to mate but it's basically part & parcel of working on the railway unless you have office hands..lol

Mate, a bull cross of the right type is unrivaled by anything barring perhaps a good wheaten cross.

Few from my journey back this morning the cream and brown building is the stables cafe and years ago was the stables for the tow horses that worked on the canal

110! Bloody hell that's some innings... what a life, I'd like to have sat and had a yap with him.

Scout was foxy Charlie Seagull Charlie I think So linebred coursing stuff 3/4 ish saluki I'd say My red bitches grand sire

Was darlo scout that belonged to PG, never saw big Pete the beater for years, hope lad is going well, bitch I had was from same dam but a diff sire, lovely dogs to be around, just pure natural grafters I found

Talking up at em and wanting them dead having that drive personally id go coursing bull into a coursing bred before I went hardblood

Will try try a few types a land be good to see the young dog on

Not sure which scout it was, and yeah I think Don had one maybe from the same litter. This one was MLB’s, I only had it at mine for a few days and nights. Cheers.

I'll travel anywhere mate if the offer is there. You don't know how your dog will fair till you've tried it . Completely different land to what I run but it wouldn't put me off coming. 150 yard slip and they need to catch it within a 200 yard field by me. You may get 5/6called into your feet a season . Should be easy pickings up by you lol

Was that Peter the beaters scout dog or the other scout from Darlington? sure @WataWalloperhad something along those lines as well

The training over here is poor and there is a money shortage and most training is only a couple of years and they use them the companies get a grant to train up the young with all the promises and at the end you Finnish agencies do the same promise you a good offer and still don't get awarded the ones from aboard are only here on a short stay then and the job is Finnished they pay them less and if they really had to stay here and pay their way like the rest of us then they may realise what rent and tax and paying bills like in the UK

What is it? This is my only social media lol

Fs why didn't they leave it here . Was a great thread
