really....another topic that you start with you referring to yourself as the 3rd person... and why would a 70 year old man have the nickname Rudeboy.....jesus christ....im expecting to see some kid with a gold chain ...afro...and trousers round his ankles

? Taken a lot of rabbits over the last 60 years with various working dogs,....but, under the spotlight,..I would think that 78 with my Sadie , back in the 1980's would be the most that I've grassed in a night. Now I know that lads have bagged up , on the Dales and similar rabbit laden areas, but back then, such Elysian Fields were unknown to me. We were poaching in West Sussex, mostly on stubble, and it was strictly a case of lamp on, lamp off, and keep on moving..? You could not get yourself or the dog into any kind of rhythm, it was all in and out , guerrilla tactics,.hardly conduc

In the woods overlooking the lake. Fukc the rest of the bollox this will do me ………

try again.. 63 taken the night before ....took this pic before we set off ferreting

?Yep,..the Beddy influence was extremely strong; I found it created an incredibly determined prey drive in a lurcher. Our dog Solo, was deadly on the Roe,...once he was locked on to their vapour trail, they were pretty soon grassed. He done plenty of two's and three's, and i reckon that he would have amassed quite a tally, if he had not busted his silly neck on a tree stump...? Great type for them old times....?

Two I had in the 80s that also helped when I was on strike for a year.

You need to think a bit conservationist now days with the rabbits and manage them. Not some thing that I thought much about diving out me mark one escort and light up a field in the early hours as young chap

1 in the middle got some heed on it

Enough to keep a man interested an content not enough to boast about. don’t catch no were near as many these days as there not there in numbers to catch but to be honest I don’t supply a butcher or game dealer ive no army of dogs or ferrets to feed I’m to lazy to process them these days so a couple is plenty to keep me going till the next outing 2-7 rabbits is the number of rabbits now from a lamp trip 2-3 times a week

here's a night we did the ton ..101 to be exact ..53 with venus and Andys two boys had the rest with Don and a young dog...forgot it's name

that story was only a few year ago mate.... but i know what you mean ..in general the numbers are getting lower throughout the british isles ...which is a bloody shame and i think us older lads like to look back with a bit of nostalgia ..

84 from 2 13 month old pups my 40 odd each

Took 20s few times but few yr ago now,they no numbers local to me so if we take five the dog works hard for them but never about numbers these days its just good to be out and see me dogs do what they love to do .

here's 1 night we got 90....45 from each dog...my dog Venus and Andys dog Don ..

“Hello mate , what you having today ?? Some nice rockabilly or Japanese style inking?”? “Nah mate Bit more on shading on the boxing gloves please my good man and just stick some brand logo in between the shoulders , make it tiny and half finished “ “sound”!

Last night's chicken Kiev and tonight's gammon. Cheers, D.

No she went of her own accord. Cheers, D.

Cheers, D.

Just a small bitch stands just over 22” I’m happy with her put plenty rabbits away with her last season and she retrieved a few other things.. first dog with beddy in the mix and definitely gives them an extra bit of drive have ran colliexdeerhound types

In the middle of watching this on YouTube at the moment. Very interesting series about attempts to save New Zealand's wildlife from extinction. I stuck it up here because I know you lads will find it interesting, and there is some aspects of trapping involved. Watch on a big screen if possible?

Mother and daughter decent we rabbit dogs

?

For me this little dog at the front has to be one of the best rabbit dogs I’ve seen work.. not my dog but had pleasure of working him.. he was a deerhound/greyhound x collie/greyhound 24inches tall he had that do or die attitude about him still amazes me how he caught on the places and land he did not just rabbits either a real dog worth shouting about

Incoming Prepare 2 do battle wi hordes o crack crazed whippet enthusiast's

Just happened to come upon this lad today. Been ages since I've seen one. Out in the middle of the day, beside a busy road. Myself and the daughter picked him up and brought him far side of the road, where there's an overgrown garden, and left it off there.

Caught plenty ,...night after night,..with the ACD x Greyhounds.... Always a fun night out....?

Collie grey whip I reckon couldn't go far wrong

Hoping this one does the job come September on the rabbits. 10 months old at the moment line bred Beddy whippet she’s 20” TTS doubt she’ll get any bigger but mad keen and a little rocket

My 3/4 grey 1/8 beardie 1/8th border was a smashing rabbit dog fastest dog ive ever owned took alot of hares to and the occasional fox but wouldn't have cut it doing heavy amounts of fox.but would work during day with the ferrets then go lampin and probley lamp 5 nights a week in season sometimes more so if I was to get another rabbit dog wouldn't look much further than that solid dog never laid up speed stamia brains easy to train but I am biased to my collie crosses

But that could happen if you put 2 of the same types together...nothings guaranteed when your breeding dogs mate...but if you know the line well enough,then you will notice the traits you desire or don't want and cull appropriately...there can be no time for sentiment if your serious...?

A few more years of seclusion and it,ll be this..........

Good grief, thank goodness for the Atlantic Ocean. I hope this guy doesn’t start drinking in my local , he’d soon find himself alone at the bar .

Great stuff pal, you were the example he should have been but he was clever enough to realise and a big enough man to say “I’m sorry” .......fair play to him, can’t ask for more than that.

You'd of been right about 30 years ago

"Be truthful lads on this one" ??? C'mon........ You're talking to lurcher lads ! It's built into our DNA to exaggerate !! Have you never been in a beer tent at a Lurcher Show ? ??? ! Cheers.

62 but like said 1980s-1990s when there was plenty to go at the most we caught with 2 dogs and a 9mth old pup was 138.Them were the times and great nights.

north uist one night 104 second night 70 odd and that was with a 9 month oldd pup all took on the marram never saw as much rabbits in my life since whole island was moving the bitch who done the ton was 4 year old collie grey....

Cheers, D.

Cheers, D.

Don't see many gate pics now mate ? Cheers, D.

Excuse my ignorance of only reading the first and last pages but it does crack me up when you see people ( and this isnt directed at anybody on here ) who obediently do everything the government tell them to when it comes to paying their taxes or passively accepting forced multiculturalism.... yet when it comes to walking into a shop with a bit of cloth on their face they become all tough and rebellious ?

Another generation on the ground, one left to send out and that's me done breeding wise for a good few years.

I would expect that they would all be 100% clean and know it because they and all their associates are probably tested daily and certainly before mixing with more of the same ilk

Pardon me, I might be wrong. But you've been jabbering on about your 'minshaws' for quite a few years. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. No big deal. ?

All gone mate, they were gone straight away, just a matter of where I wanted to send them.
