My misus took pip for a nice little walk while I was at kickboxing with the little uns. She wasn't best pleased ?

Well was up and away for back of 7 this morning, the auld vectra indicates what my inverted baws was already telling me it’s f***ing Baltic! Wee hours drive and meet up with my cousin Johnny and jess’s litter sister sky, today is not about the numbers it’s about introducing the pups to their trade, it was never going to be anything other than getting them used to holes, nets, and the added bonus of a bit fur between their teeth, ferrets were quite green too only last years litter. First couple of sets, they struggled to shift the rabbits as they were 30 holers and ideally could have done with

this was my lurcher x coursing bitch.

They need to cull all the ferals 1st or theyre just gona be diluted again

A pretty nice picture from today

These are coursing dogs crossed with the more traditional type lurcher.

Winters definitely on the way stav, wanted to go out last night with the new toy but opted for the pub instead?? no way was I playing out in the wind and rain:( sunny Scarborough yesterday

Perfect example yesterday, there will be thousands and thousands of blokes like me (who have been using a mask and carrying hand sanitiser etc etc) looking at the protest in Trafalgar Square and then watching the police used batons against those people. And like me they will be thinking “Hold on, they let tens of thousands of coons run absolute riot around the globe for two weeks and never lifted a finger” ?? Its that type of blatant bollocks that gets people saying “f**k all this” Its why nobody cares what the government says.......they are creating the situation

I’ve noticed that the birds seem a bit more interested in the feed rides over the last week or so . The drop in temperature has focused them a bit more . They just seem to be everywhere at the moment, so much natural food about . And the stubbles are a big pull too . There is nothing worse than a bad neighbour/keeper. You have to respect each other’s boundaries, otherwise it’s a recipe for a punch up . I’ve had “ cheap skate “ f@ckers , trying to pull my birds , don’t put any birds down themselves, they are millionaires, and want to pull our birds and have half arse walk about d

Had a look out this afternoon after work, little bitch worked great, marking well and steady, also got my young hob ferret bolting a few. She is 6 months now.

If they come anywhere near my farm they definitely won’t be getting a foothold, they will be getting leathered !

Its the best way to go imho to produce very versatile lurchers .A bitch i had bred out of the caithness dogs to a well known coursing dog called the beast. Well before the ban when pic was taken.

Winter ? is definitely on the way, when I got there just before 9 you could see it had been cold over night and I had to get the winter coat out, there’s a lot of birds around the farm but at the minute they are not straying to far during the day, I’ve moved some feeders further out and also put a couple out that I know the deer can knock the tops off ( before Hugo’s dad arrived) to get at the wheat, as me and FH might be having a trip up there next weekend for the fallow ? ( but I’ll keep that to myself) after feeding we walked the boundaries, not seeing a lot of birds which was good, little

Broken glass set in cement on wall tops where I grew up ? Cheers, D.

I think someone is taking this Big Cat lark too far, come on Greyman enough is enough.....

Third day this season ferrets getting back into it and young silver jill coming on well. Another no problem day long may it last it wont obviously, any way the Dandie put a couple up when was walking the fields with the terriers. Ended up with 39. PUD

i think putting a match dog over this bitch will make handy all rounders .

If you don't want your cat standing in something put there to keep them and human intruders away then keep them in your own property, bloody things.

Couple of pictures of my runner from today’s walk atb longers01

Some of the Wikipedia information is slightly wrong on them as well as being a gallowglass was a like acceptance into a culture , like the samurai I suppose . they were a warrior caste who were primarily used as heavy cavalry and huscarles. They were generally considered to be drawn from Scottish Gaelic clans from the world west coast but also from the novantae and brigante tribes of northern England . these tribes were so warlike and ferocious that the word “brigand”Is still used today to describe a violent outlaw type. I love things like this as it’s absolutely

I couldn’t agree more about a winter coast . I love walking on the beach or seafront when it’s like that , makes you feel alive . I used to be in the local wildfowling club , with stretches of the crown foreshore on the Severn estuary . It could get a bit dodgy when the tide was on its way in , it sounds like a train coming towards you . I can honestly say I had the most exciting and dangerous duck flights imaginable in stormy weather with the tide chasing me . I think back on it and I was mad . But you sometimes you only feel alive when you dice with death , and your adrenaline is

" Lockdown " is a word thats starting to have about as much meaning as the word " Racist " Its turning into one of those designer words used to scare people.

Old boy .still likes hes days out ,bull lurchers nearly 9 .

Back in the day,..we used whatever jukel that was available...they had to work,...we made them work....it was emotional... Nowadays, we breed what we want from a massive gene pool,...the hunting life is so much easier..?

Only one tool for the job........?

Been ferreting the day walked the terriers through the fields westie and Plummer went over wall Barney the Dandie on my side he put rabbit up and hunted it into the stone wall mint day see ferreting section. PUD

During the roman period sigthounds were likely more localised to type and certainly not pure as we consider pure breeds, most areas probably had there own type suited to their environment, so a roman in Spain would have had an ancestor of the Galgo one in northern Africa would have an ancestor of a Sloughi etc. But there would be a great deal of variety within that, just look at early pictures of greyhounds, they came in size from deerhound to whippet and rough and smooth but all still considered greyhounds. Today in the large parts of the world they still have a homogenous type of sight houn

Julius ceasar and William the conqueror used go coursing together FACT

They might start off pure but within a few generations they’ll all be feral house cats. Hybridisation is a serious issue in the arsehole of Scotland, never mind anywhere else. So long as keepers are allowed to flatten them in areas where threatened natives have a stronghold then I’m on board. I don’t think it’s right to introduce cats if they wipeout lapwings for instance.

Covid has shown us that we are a very adaptive species that is going to survive and once we get a vaccine it will be back to normal in no time. Alas I think memories will be very short and any lessons learnt will be short lived..

when I first started most saluki crosses were with knock about lurhers as that was what lads were running, adding saluki pepped them up, seemed to take them to another level, and of course line breeding created the coursing dog, it would be nice to take a step back my originals were a mix of bedlington greyhound whippet and saluki so I will prob us a decent beddy gray, two seventys bitches line bred from my original bitch fly both small but mighty the lighter coloured bitch killed several foxs in fine style just had a knack..

This 10pm lockdown for pubs has become a joke, have you seen the scenes with hundreds huddled together on the streets after closing time.

regardless of the cross ,the man on the other end of the leach will have alot to do with how good the dog is

Should have his purse withheld......the funniest part was listening to Taylor try to explain what a great shot it was !

No, but I could do with one for chucking at them sometimes lol

Round the top of the wall round every pub back yard when I was a kid, still never stopped us getting over and getting the natch and lemonade bottles to take back for the 10p deposit, ???

Absolute bonkers. Idiot on the news now banging on about people visiting other homes to see family or mates. Its all there fault yet you can go can on the piss and sink 15 pints as long as you get it done before last orders because every one is really well behaved when there on the lash. Back in the day it never took me till ten to be an arse I was well capable of that by about 8 on a weekend haha. Bunch of idiots running the place

His mam was a 5/8th bull greyhound to a straight Wheaton and his dad was a first cross Wheaton greyhound atb longers01. Here’s a picture of them

4 month old bitch bred that way, her mother is coursing bred but used for all sorts, not an out and out hare coursing dog. Makes a much tougher and more versatile animal IMO

There's still stuff about at working man's prices... Depends what circles you move in. I will make £100 notes on a litter of 4 terrier pups, folks should go out and work for their money... Not peddle the arses off the dogs?

Maybe now they have lost one of there’s we can talk about and do something about immigration in this country, maybe need a couple of mp,s to get it as well before they will stop covering up the negatives of allowing 1000s of single men into the country totally unvented, ??

I'd shoot them all before they grow up and start rioting looting and mugging everybody.
