Went to bed feeling worn out, but happy, then.... At 2:30 this morning, we were bloody attacked by a startled sound of boar ? I'm in my hammock, belly full, a nice bit of drink and a spliff in me... the dog just starts growling. That low growl that a dog does when it really means business. Next thing was this almighty crashing and grunting, the dog goes f***ing mental. I jumped out of the hammock with my chopper in hand, head torch in the other and sees about 5-6 boar standing their ground about 10 yard away, stomping and mashing their teeth. Well I shit it obviously lol, started sc

So, I decide to go to the mountains again. My plan on Friday was to have a Chinese buffet, early night and catch the 6:45am train... That didn't happen.. I got steaming drunk, ended up with a kebab at 4am, babbling about needing to go get the rucksack and dog ? I caught the train (on-time incredibly) and I was in some bloody state, dressed for the mountains, smelling like I've been in the lash, still pished, with the hangover setting in? I get to where I'm going (Santa Celloni) and find a bar, to grab a coffee, gather my thoughts and try to sober the hell up. That doesn't h

Thats the pups ready fit n healthy hopefully they will do well at the hunting

Bred several litters in the 1980s/1990s,..we worked them most nights,... Straight cross twixt Ardkinglas Deerhound and Irish Coursing Greyhounds.. The next cross, back to the Greyhound was always far more agile and useful product. Great dogs for the Roe...? We then put our 3/4 bred hybrids over big whippets...then we were cooking...? Terrific old-style longdogs,.great to see lads still enjoying them...

An acquaintance of my wife is an artist and also makes cakes so we thought we'd get her to make one for the father in laws 60th birthday cake. He's an avid carp fisherman so what better to do than a carp! Can't believe how well she did, It looked bloody amazing so I thought I'd share it on here!!

I don't understand why everyone seems to want to start from scratch when there are enough lurchers out there of various descriptions doing every aspect of uk lurcher work to buy pups or breed from.

I had this cocker that used to constantly be chasing my pheasants around the woods at roosting time . It belonged to a couple if doctors who lived nearby. I caught it one day and chucked it in the back of the Land Rover . I thought whoever owns it will be looking for it and I will have words with them . Sure enough a phone call was received and they came to pick up their dog . I told them they were lucky it was me who was keepering now and not the old keeper , because it would be under a hedge now covered in bluebottle eggs . I read them a bit of a riot act and reminded them of their responsib

My 2 sired by Romeo

its true stormyboy... .....bloody sheep dog crossed in to everything......you should see his merl ferrets.....picking there bolts and stalking there prey ....lol you mention the further cross to the whippet phil.....and I'm imeadeatly brought back to my bitch sally whos in my avater that was deer/grey x whipp/grey......that won the winmill cup....and runner up the year after....

? I cross Border collie into everything Stormyboy,...I just like sheepdogs. I inevitably return to the fold,..it is what it is...

Still growing like a weed just over 15tts and 8kg in weight smashing the raw 3times a day

I cant understand why people call him a peddler, if he wasnt breeding litters the genuine deerhound xs would very nearly be a thing of the past. I say fair play to him.

Hi,..the bitch on the left was around 26" at the shoulder and her son, on the left , made around 28"... The bitch came from a first cross Greyhound/Deerhound, which had been mated to a Collie /Greyhound Sire However, to produce her son, I used her uncle, a genuine first cross Greyhound /Deerhound, over her. So, both had some small amount of sheepdog blood in them,...which I personally found to be, no bad thing at all...?

Max, i doubt his skin condition is anything to do with him not being able to throw a good clean power punch, any decent 24 yr old heavyweight should beat povetkin. Hughie is not world class, with more defeats to come.

It's really dangerous here to have fires, Luckily I managed to find a safe spot and crack on with the sausage butties ?

I did that on my one and only trip out at Whitby on the mistress , worse day of my life . We went 25 miles out and i was throwing up about 10 minutes after setting off , I never even cast out and when we got off the boat at the end of the day I gave my brand new boat outfit to my mate and said keep it . To top it off it took me about 5 hours to drive home because I had to keep pulling over to throw up . Never again

I run a 1st cross. This will be her 2nd full season working so hopefully she will develop more. They are very slow to mature compared to other breeds. She stands at 28tts. She is 28 months old She has caught rhfd. She is very fast and turns well . She picks her strikes now and then on the big stuff which can be frustrating. Her stamina is not what I thought, thought it would of been better tbf.

Snap love watching dogs working reed beds

Bruce went over a nice wheaton greyhound last night was a big bitch 25tts

A boring miserable c**t

If the working reputation of the Deerhound lurcher rested at the feet of Platt then that would be a fecking sad day for the Deerhoundy type lurcher.Its decades since a decent working Deerhound entered the field,the shite he owns is part and parcel of the decline in Deerhounds and the litters he throws into the cesspit of useless workers is more akin to the expectations and limitations of modern lurcher ownership than his dollar breeding.The facts are that the best working Deerhoundy,s now are generations of work to work to work,with border in the mix.Mongrel to mongrel bred with only one ambit

Ha ha I have heard a lot of stories like that , was a good day I enjoyed it got rass whiting and mackerel mother lads got codling crab flat fish etc ,

Buy an old ambulance, they are usually fitted with blown air heating for the back and various seat mountings. Also if you feel ill you can drive yourself to hospital.

It says a lot about the current crop of heavies when you can argue over whether Hughie Fury is world class or not! I doubt any of them wouldve been worked class 30 years ago... For me HF hasn't got what it takes to move up, he should be beating the likes of Povetkin now if that's the case... the likes of Dubois will come quicker and leave HF behind imo

as I have said before there is a reason why certain crosses become rare.

easy for stormyboy to do when he buys these two of me....lol

lol...good read that mate.. at the beginning of this little story I couldn't help feel that this is the kind of start to a story where here in the uk some stupid English twat thinks its a good idea to go up Nevis or some other similar peak...only to need to get mountain rescue out....cos there only wearing flip plops ...lol

2 years is about right for any cross, a little introduction before that but nowt to heavy.

But he has that punch max, take TF dancing skills away and he wouldn’t even be domestic level.

Mine when he was a pup, on his first international travels ? Next photo is in Rotterdam train staition.

Think thats what there good at foxes and deer the one i seen was mostly used for lamping and took deer reguler but wasnt a day dog that was a first cross

No thanks, i like the deerhound types but i like them with other blood ie collie saluki , also i would never buy from peddlers

Great nightbat the o2 was weird atmosphere on fury fight he been rushed imho he not got the strength or completely got all his shots under total control and without that power to keep big punchers weary he can only go backwards he should just be stepping up to british level now not have nearly half a dozen losses at 24 albeit against very good opponents but for him to really challenge fringe world level that right hand needs major work. And the atmosphere when loma came out was electric great night in all

Pretty fair assessment i thought....the lad takes a good shot but just isnt good enough at that level you cant spend 90% of a fight on the back foot and expect to win rounds unless you completely dominate opponents catching them with clean shots and Fury doesnt do that....i thought Povetkin looked old....the domestic heavyweight scene is on fire at the moment Fury needs to be getting amongst those sort of fights rather than chasing titles. As for Campbell i thought he did ok but having such a size advantage and barely winning a round can never be seen as doing well... Lomachenko is outsta

Caulfield’s joe

if we stopped using the woolly's lol these dogs would breed true to type in a generation or three.

Campbell did better than I thought, Lomachenko can't go up anymore weight. The size was telling tonight and made him look a little lacklustre.

It’s a 11degrees here now the temp isn’t to bad but the ground is still baked through lack of the wet stuff the rape seed fields still have solid stubble sticking out the ground that could blind a dog the wheat fields are look lovely from a distance till you look close up an see 1-2inch cracks were the crop sucked the life out the ground the pasture land is also solid under foot when recalling the dog on general walks you can hear the ground rumble under foot I’ll not be in no rush to get going there’s all the time in the world to get up an running I think come October time I’ll start ??

no mate I would not, I remember them in the seventy's, they were no good then, yes you will get a good one here and there bound to, but to me a far better option is a lurcher x lurcher that's deerhound based, a far better animal, imho

must admit I was tempted at these....spoke to platt about 2 month ago.....if I'm honest I wouldn't mind trying one ....but have always hankered after the 3/4 grey x deer...rather than the half cross.....would be nice if somone out there with a well worked half cross......put it over maxhardcores ...greyhound
