A son of nuttalls miner

Pablo,young dog entered last season,

Nowt in my garden really apart from a good view of nothing and a gallop for training horses on

This dog was 1st x collie/greyhound X saluki/greyhound,bought in 1984 in nottingham at a game fair..his grandsire was Merle ,Plummers dog...he was one of the best if not the best ive ever had,he took very decent bags of rabbits night after night when the conditions were in.retrieved pheasant like a gun dog and every rabbit alive to hand..he took many fox single handed and was an all round great dog...i believe the mix of saluki was highly beneficial to his make up,long nights of graft with 40 plus rabbits at the time were not uncommon..i was very proud of that dog i must say

The day I became an honorary member of Nez de Cuir. Hubert Coipel, master of Nez de Cuir, offered me one of his best tools. Very proud.

Here are my to two Collie/Whippets. The bitch is a 3/4 Whippet 1/4 Collie. She stand 19 inches tall and the pup I bred from her is a 5/8 Whippet 3/8 Collie He stands 21 inches tall. Both handy rabbit catchers both night and day.

Troy boy, he will be 8 in july how time flies whn yeh having fun

Forgot the robin chicks a bbq and a ever watchful lurcher

Not the best of pics battery died but that's him just turned 12mth old, he's had a few diffrent bits of fur in his mouth so far so a good summer on his back and we'll run him hard this forthcoming season,

Nowadays, I like to have a quiet mouch with my wee cur bitch,..she is a mixture of Sheepdog/Whippet and Greyhound blood,.we have some good fun,... .I really like her.?

The most wealthiest cult in the world. Own huge swathes of prime land in cities and have investments running into billions.wealth that would make Solomon blush. Few years ago god's banker was found hanging off London bridge apparently god father 3 wasn't a fictional thing. They have given out millions in hush money to families of kids who were abused by there priests. The whole institute needs shutting down. If that had been the scouts or the boys brigade or any other institute there would have been public enquiries and inevitable disbanding.

This all sounds to be a brutal business,...I think I'll stick to my half dozen rabbits a year,...I just want a quiet life.

Cash is king,havent had a debit card for a while,never had a credit card,always good to have cash in your sky rocket.

more importantly......WHAT WERE YOU DOING WATCHING IT ? lol its pure shite.....unadultrated ,unfathomable shit...how anyone watches it is beyond me

? I've experienced more variables and uncertainties with the Herding based hybrids, than any other lurcher type... I grew up around crossbred canines and sundry curs,..brought them with me from rural Wales when I settled darn sarf, and then,..abandoned the type, for many years. The tasks laid out before me had changed drastically, so I had to adapt my way of thinking,... or like the dumb old Dinosaur,... I would not have prospered... Nowadays, I am old and frail, so have returned wholeheartedly, to the fold,... I doubt I'll go awol again...?

Misty & Mae

Never mind them lad. Jealousy brings out the worst in people.

Collie greyhounds aren't for everyone thank goodness i think people have the wrong perception of them there a complex type of dog very intelligent and in some cases more intelligent than their owners they're not a dog to be left locked in a kennel all day or all summer like some poor dogs are they need work and mental stimulation Regards Collie John

Totally agree with you collie John ,it’s like a modern version of medieval times , after the ban it attracted to many people that wanted to do it as illegal , or people that were to blatant about it, add the teens setting their dogs on animals in local parks /football pitches it’s all bad press , there’s to many nosey people with a phone camera and then you got the fur baby brigade constantly looking for things to post about on Facebook . years ago you could walk with air rifle an if caught with edible vermin either just get sent on or giving abit of rabbiting or ratting permission now wh

Bill I don't look at it has evolution hunting has gone backwards to many do gooders modern technology ie camera phones CCTV and stupid laws have ruined the lurched game alot of lads especially the coursing lads have thrown the towel in its just not worth all the agro I feel sorry for the younguns coming into the lurcher game today the halcyon days of our sport are behind us alot of young lads are misguided about dogs and quarry and go down the wrong road which is a shame the lurcher game is f****d the type of dogs people will keep in time will change to more mooching types unless you want to k

At least your talking about getting it killed quick seen videos where peoe are filming it while the animal.is still alive and there to busy videoing.it while there dogs are chewing at it instead off killing it quick no dog men just idiots

I'm rather partial to a good drop of collie blood. The reason for using collie in a lurcher falls into two camps. First, to turbo charge the collie and secondly to add engine management to a sighthound. If you fall in the first camp, then a half cross (or there abouts) is a fine creature to work with.If its the second case, then most working breeds will surfice in adding that bit extra to a running dog. If your not going to use the key attributes of a collie AND can get on with their nature, better crosses are out there. JMO

Seems a bit bonkers burying soil - you'll just end up with a pile of soil from the hole that you've just dug! ?

a little 29 pounder

Well its warm enough over here to get the garden planted i have 2 raised beds full of carrots 2 raised beds of beetroot 6 ciurgette seeds gone in 15 seed potato gone in the ground and 7 in pots in the house i have 52 ish tomato plants 9 fennel and 12 awaiting to sprout 12 romaine lettuce waiting to sprout

Due to my white bitch picking up a shoulder injury and hopefully she will make a full recovery I picked this little mite up yesterday, I thought worst case scenario I'd be better looking at the replacement than looking for him later in the season,so here's to a full recovery and a new partnership so meet Marshall. (Grandson's named him cartoon or something lol)

Australia's government has announced that in July 2019 it will ban the use of cash on all purchases over $10,000. The move is to "encourage the move to a digital society" and "to cut down on tax evasion." Streamlining of commerce and security or has the debit card finally become the ultimate surveillance tool?

At times up here, the hardest part is finding stuff to run. We need dogs that will hunt like spaniels, clever, hungry runners (as my grandad called them) and a coat and physique that will brush off the worst the weather and the terrain can throw at them. Line bred, collie grew saturated dogs tick all those boxes for me.

I know it's no patterdale but I caught this fella red handed nicking my dogs food last night.

If you think genuine Border crosses are thin on the ground then try finding a genuine Beardie cross, more chance of finding a Unicorn

Some first cross collie whippets are good

originally SBTs ware bred to be game , fighters , doubt the three above ware much good if they could pose together ,,

Was in greenhouse today potting seedlings for my hanging baskets. Got some chilies on the go and sorted my strawberry plants. I do like a nice garden with a bit colour in the summer. Sowed daisy's sweet Williams coming on good. Even bought a new solar lighthouse other day. It's pretty bright too. Other week I found a cracking piece of driftwood on the shore. It's in the front garden where I put an artificial bonsai tree in it. Looks good. Planted a pear tree few weeks ago. Tbh not sure if it's going to take. Just a cheap £5 job so no great loss if it does di

It was a joke mate!! ?

What’s in my garden?........Grass!........14 f***ing acres of the stuff that I’m going to turn into Veal !

I'm not kennel blind pal I'm passionate about the type of dog I keep which are collie greyhound people seem to forget the quarry and type of dog bred for that task ie collie greyhounds rabbit and feather I'm not arsed about foxes you can keep your bull types for that that's what there better suited for I'm not getting in a debate over different crosses its each to their own the thread is about collie greyhounds Regards Collie John

As an aside,...having been a member of this unique, hunting men's website, for several years,...I would have to congratulate Collie John for his sheer consistency... I fecking hate, users, and abusers...two faced feckers and men, who speak with forked tongue.? 'Right or wrong',...the man sticks to his guns,...
