I said I’d do a quick update on ace as I’ve been getting a few pms about him lately. First cross bull whippet for those that remember me posting a few years back. He’s done all I ask of him. Very handy dog on the lamp. He’s mostly used on fox which he has no problem at all with. A very good dog by day and night. Many people ask about his speed, it’s not bad. He has a very quick get off. Catches most of his slips and will burst cover in pursuit of anything. Ive been so pleased with the little dog that I bred him and have two pups that are 13 weeks old. They are bull whip grey. Here’

First day out after her pups and picked up where she left of last season. Only an easy place but perfect for her.

I've a first cross wheaten greyhound that I bred myself. The Wheaten was 48 pound strong dog with a good head and the greyhound was on the small side at 24 inchs. The dog pup i kept is 60 pound and about 23 Inchs. Like sandymere said they don't variate much on first cross. If you mix a couple of other breeds in then it can escalate. I'm not a lurcher expert by any means but that's how it turned out for me with a pretty even litter. Turned out perfect for what I need but been honest the dog will always be injury free but if you wanted him to run faster stuff he would lack in gears. I just run

Out for couple of hours this evening.only four hounds hunting drain ditches.passed away the evening

Sensible advice I would also add,..that just because a Cattle Dog shows an inbred ability to herd large dangerous beasts in its native environment,..it does not equate to the catching and killing of vulpines, here in the UK. Obviously, if a particular specimen of this fairly uncommon Greyhound/ACD hybrid decides to grab hold of something, it is physically capable of sorting things out, indeed, my own stock frequently came across things other than rabbits, but, as a whole, there are far better hybrids for that kind of work than ACD's. I do believe that anyone thinking of using such

Due to a shoot taking place on one of our permissions we opted for change of place, Its abit of a tradition we have started at this perticular spot for the last 2 seasons so keeping up with tradition here we were all set up and ready for the off, things looked promising with rabbits moving about all over the place, it wasn’t long before we had a mark off Nell and away we went, in a matter of minutes I had 6 in the bag, i went one way, my mate went the other, as I was lifting my longnets up in typical Nell fashion she was off with nose to the ground hovering up any scent the was to be found, an

I would imagine in the wrong hands they would be a total liability. Cattle dogs are purposely bred to put pressure on whole herds of animals much larger than themselves. If they come across any stubborn beasts they solve the problem with their mouth, I believe that’s where the name “Heeler” comes from. They are robustly built flatout working machines with the heart of a dog fifty times their size if you don’t need that kind of animal in a running dog I wouldn’t add it.

Well,...I enjoyed my time with the ACD hybrids,.no complaints really,...but, as with all types of F1 unions,...I feel it is best to always try and secure, genuine working lines. Obviously, no guarantees with any first cross,...but ya got to try your best...

I've been fancying some sort of Co2 gun for a while now - I wouldn't be without a springer and a PCP but, there's just something satisfying about the way a Co2 gun spits when it's fired. I've been looking at this 2240 on Freeads for a few days - it was just round the corner from me. ......... The previous owner has done a bit to it - GMAC steel breech, shoulder stock, 10.5" barrel, Webley QGS silencer, Nikko Sterling 4x32 ao scope and, some other bits internally. When I went round there to have a look, it turned out that the bloke is a real Crosman nerd - he had l

As Phil said jigsaw as hard as it is and as heartbroken as you will be and you will be it's one thing I have always done it myself as daft as it sounds you will find peace in knowing you were with her till the end get some beers in and remember the times and good luck buddy my thoughts are with you

3 pal, wouldn’t give him anymore. He has nothing to prove

I had a teacher with a white streak in her hair called mrs yackley but we called her bird shit head.

Who is this and what have you done with Morton

Probably the best bitch ive owned.would find a fox anywhere.a mating with brian would definitely click id say

Definitely, mine come out of the Thames and some lakes fed by the Kennet, they need purging. I like the Crayfish but an awful lot of work for a small return. Edit......The salad plate was particularly pleasing as I grew all the veg and caught the Crayfish!

Two foxes from cover today.conor got another with his dog.hes after putting away some foxes good days sport

This is my pup out of the bulldozer to the spider bitch who is out of Jaime to a bitch out of jims rosesy and barny pick him up next week

Hello, this time not a hunting knife, but a carving set to carve the game in dilicious slices The knife with a 2,5mm blade, 16,5cm long from 1.2510 the fork from 1.2510, 15cm long. Both with soldered guards from brass, spacers from fiber, aluminium, bronze and micarta, handles from sambar, pommels from brass. This will be a present for my parents Regards Nicolas

I got home from work today not feeling to good, headache, stiff neck, aching all over, probably a touch of meningitis knowing my luck! But my little, well ok, fat Face lit up when I see this little parcel full of .625" ball ? Our very own Gav from the outer isle's cast me 27# for me to try in my .63" trade gun, how cool is that? Thank you very very much Gav, I can not wait to try them. PM inbound. U.

Little brook near me as a few signal crayfish in it,so nipped down for a hour with a piece of string with bacon on..finished on 8?

Dave I’ve got a mould for a 45lb cannon ball , I’m thinking of running up a couple of hundred should I ever get round to building a replica of HMS Victory ..I could use a few ton if it’s in your way ...?

I'd go with a BSA Lightning in .25. One shot one kill.

A lot of blokes here use F1 whippet/cattle for hunting rabbits in the pines as they have great feet.Cattle dogs are strong willed dogs with a fair dose of dingo blood and are great guards.Most don't have the work style of kelpies, but have great heat tolerance and stamina.I used to go ferreting with a mate with a straight cross cattle /grey,was a decent ferreting dog but lacked pace imo.They aren't as good as kelpies or collies at stock work except when a beast breaks from the herd the cattle dogs grab it by the nose and give it a hiding to teach it to stay with the other cattle.

I’ve never seen a acd but I have kelpies and from what I’ve read on here they seem very similar to the kelpies in the sense they need to be doing something constantly, and are very busy dogs. Im not 100% keen on the kelpies but you’ve got to give it to them, they are relentless workers. I couldn’t think of a worse dog to keep in the house, if mine aren’t doing something for 5 minutes they will find something to do, wrong or right.

Having not been on the forum since dinosaurs last walked the earth i thought I'd drop by & shout hello ☺ ..hope everyone is doing ok,the running dogs are all healthy & prepared for their winter campaigns,fingers crossed you all have enough game on the ground to keep your dog's active over the forthcoming months..I've still got Boots who will be 6 years old in a fortnight but he unfortunately suffered a horrendous injury which seen him unable to put his leg on the ground for 9 months which put a damper on last season but he's looking grand just now,I'm pretty certain he will breakdown

Went out this morning for a couple of hours, left the pup at home, managed to get a few, and had a nice morning in the sun with the dogs, and stinkers. Enjoy whatever you are doing guy’s - couple of snaps

Just had to get out with Bessy and those huge balls. I was after a rabbit and sadly there was very few. I was on land that usually is crawling with rabbit but I struggled to see any! It was sad and thought after today I shall leave them alone. Anyway eventually and after a few miles I found one to stalk. I got down to 27yds and levelled Bessy on the unsuspecting buck rabbit. I had renewed the pan powder just prior as it had got damp but although the fan flashed quick there was an unusual fizz as it fused through the flashhole slower than normal. I followed through

They'll cope with being kennelled, but they need to spend more time in the field than they do in the run.

when I was a kid we used to put a rod out for them while tenching at night, used dead roach with the hook coming out its mouth, cast out and use a match box as a bit indicator, when you get a run let it stop then when he sets off again strike, had some good fish like that.

Bloody good dogs from what i know,had a half x and she was all i ever wanted in a running dog but lost her at 11 months old but she'd taken a good bit of game in her short life,her brother was the best ferreting dog iv'e ever seen work and i know a few with them and they do all that's asked and a bit more.Not a dog for the novice and some will proper look after you if bother finds you out in the field,if the genuine acd's then go for it but don't expect to walk it and then lock it away in a run for the rest of the day as that's when your troubles will start..

Ad put a strong half cross if you won't to put it to bull cross
