Personally,...when choosing a performance type stud dog,..a beast that is required to pass on, specialist attributes,?...I would like to know just who is coming to the party. However, for a roustabout rabbiting dog, I would not hesitate in using an obvious 'hunter, seeker, finder and catcher',..at an early age...?

Sometimes, If you really have something special, leaving it until 6 years is too late. They often fail to make old bones.

Some of the best dogs I've owned and ran over 30 years. I still have the blood in my dogs I run today.

A really nice, genuine F1 black bitch, and my own Merle, scatter bred rabbiting lurcher.?

All depends in situation and if the dogs from a good line preferably have 3 seasons and proved itself to a decent standard of work and a good temperament why not

If you put in enough work, of whatever type, to a dog, you should know long before it's 5 or six years of age, if it's worth breeding from. Not trying to be clever, but alot of people are waiting far too long to use potentially great dogs at stud because 'everyone else' says 'they need at least 4 or 5 years graft' before they'd consider using them. ....... hogwash!

This bitch is bred from some of those farm curs that some people have described. Hardy, sharp and mentally a step away from some of the collies mental down falls.

Had a pal ring to say he’s seen a mink around his fishing lake , it’s only a small place and he keeps it beautiful only half a dozen swims really secluded and mainly for friends and family . He had a problem a few years ago with mink and they caused him a lot of problems , killed the ducks on the ponds , all his fancy chicken and we’re going through the fish at a rate of knots , his wife was anti kill them until she lost her chicken by which time they had become a prop nuisance..This time it was get at them ASAP , so I went round mainly to drop of some cage traps , two cups of coffee and a na

Some will never put there lurcher up for public stud. To me when something gets popular its starts going downhill. I only keep lurcher dogs and im lucky ive access to abit of running so ive been asked a few times its not often ill say yes. Youll find alot of times people will use a dog hoping to fix bad traits in a bitch that doesnt work either best to breed strength to strength not to weaknesses

Beardie collie cross

As much as I don't like him all these protest's are a joke. Shower of shiftless over sensitive needy c**ts . Im All for freedom to protest but this is nothing more than the wannabe noticed culture this world has turned into. I saw some of the protesters on telly not a political bone in Thier body just turned up cause they decided I need to part of this Facebook social media protest frenzy. "Oh im gay or Poor. Veggie vegan gender whatever the f**k it is I have to be there" I'll be on the telly or might even get interviewed. Regardless that they make a total c**t of themselves

Rescued this dog when I was a teenager. Haven’t a clue how old or how she was bred. She was a really good bitch and I was out with her every weekend. Had some great times until I come home from school one day to find someone had taken her!

Almost 3 years ago when me and the wife were out in Aussie, my son treated us to a meal to celebrate our 40th anniversary, in Nikko's Taverna so... Greek. For a starter I tried the pickled octopus salad and it was superb. Thought I would have a go at replicating it, but due to a lack of octopus I tried it with squid tubes. It was almost there but not quite. I messaged my son a picture of it and he said he recalls the big lumps of garlic in it, and plenty of them. I amended the recipe with said garlic and am now just waiting for it to pickle. Photo is the one I sent him prior to

Well got the hw100 back tuesday after a reg rebuild and service, took it to the perm this evening, got my sightmarks sorted out and spent the last hour before dark and the rain came walking around and managed this one, the only one I seen so 1 nil to me......

never knew prince harry went lamping

Best all round dog I've ever owned mate. Pts aged 15 retired at 8

Good man.Im up there tomorrow.

I’m not trying to be a one track minded smart ass that thinks his opinion is the only opinion that is correct I’m a very open minded guy I take all on bored if it makes sense but I’m just trying to pick the mines of the more experienced to take onboard any information I’m in the mine if you don’t ask you don’t get an useful information is always handy from the experienced guys I think this is were most working dog lads go wrong there afraid to ask questions In fear of making there self look less a dog men

Yes even my bull cross has 1/4 collie so I just have a brainy over keen fruit cake. Mind you he got the short straw him self when I rocked up in the gateway when he was a pup lol. Bet he wished he never looked at me that day now

A honey badger would wipe the fukcing lot of them out .......

Hi,..can't locate any first cross images at the moment,...but these Collie infused youngsters are fairly typical of lurchers that are a mix of Whippet, greyhound, and herder. Banjo Jake.

Well it was one of those nights . After walking the last poults back through the pop holes I put the mule in to what I thought would be the best place to shoot from , overlooking the killing area and with the wind in my face , this was about 9.0pm . Hadn’t been there long and the cattle found me and surrounded me . I moved away but they followed. This was turning into a joke , I’d move then they followed. I moved around the other side but this time I had the wind on my neck . About 10pm now and I spotted that unmistakable vulpine shape through the half light . Thermal on and it was defo Charli

In terms of catch quantities, the bitch below doesn't actually make my Top Ten,....but, she helped me out, during a very bad time in my life... She was a good old pal to me...

My old terrier ted old nutall stuff

When I was a lad I used to go match fishing , I used to get dropped off and picked up by my mates dad or my mum . We used to carry on fishing after the match . One day a mink came along and I threw him a dead bleak floating in my keep net . It snaffled it up and came back a few minutes later and I repeated the process. I thought if it comes back again I’ll have him . I set up my pike gear with snap tackle and sure enough it came back and I cast another bleak then , wham I struck into it , my pal came over and knocked it on the head . It was a Birmingham anglers stretch of the Severn and a bail

what a cracking set up best i have seen ?

A lad I used to go out with a bit used to do mine and I'd do his when we was away worked well could trust the lad and vise versa

It is good to listen to everyone's opinions,..that is how we learn.. With a rabbiting dog, I like to watch a potential Stud at his work, several times,...I am looking for a dog that will offer something different/better, than my own animal. If a dog is acting in the manner that suits me, I will use him across a suitable bitch,... It is difficult to gauge exactly, how a young dog might act, after six or seven years rabbiting,..anything could happen..there are no guarantees... Catching rabbits used to be my occupation, so I reckon to know what I need,...it ain't rocket scien

Better off using eBay mate I no they charge you but you get less nutters trying to swap shit or Africans asking you to post to Uganda, have sold stuff on most public platforms but now only use eBay and PayPal for the reasons everyone is mentioning here, I was selling a transit van some years back in a free add paper and a bloke kept messaging me asking me to swap it for a fish tank, I was after a smaller van at the time and had put in the add that I'd swap for a small van of simular value but fish tank man was just relentless, I asked him if there was room for my tools and a few bags of plast

Perhaps I'm being a bit slow today but can you translate that please!

I'd say no younger then 5 for me have would need 3 good seasons under it's belt at least ? I've always thought about one day breeding a litter but I'd worrie about rehoming the pups and what wollys would end up with them

Trump is dangerous, but at the same time his approach to politics has paid off in a number of areas! Lets be clear here, I am not a fan, but I am surprised how well a few things have turned out for him, hands up, he has done better than I expected, not least of which, I expected an assassination attempt before now!

Well he would say that. Horrible wee c**t.

Change his name to blacksmith if he keeps making a bolt for the door I'll get my coat

The PJ's are off now and it's not a pretty sight so no pictures! Camera's have shutter timers now ?

I had the exact same thing, I advertised some stuff and like a Pratt put my number on there, within an hour as you said I was getting all sorts of phone calls, sure you get a lot of people on there with nothing better to do then waste peoples time, the amount of calls I got and arranged a date and time and then nothing!!! Just put my email address and then I seemed to get the more geniune people message me! I still laugh now I had a automated call saying I had a accident which I agreed ( I was bored at the time ) then i automatically get thru to a human, I said I was driving and having a wank
