Gypsy and the poacher ? Classic -
Yep same here Mr Wilkes, it's just something I heard by an old dogman can't remember what the reasoning behind it was now. I'm sure someone will be along to say it's bollox lol. Think I'd rather the lab characteristics than the grey for sure though.

Sounds like a real good cross, lads I just have a question and that is I was told rightly or wrongly that you always put speed over the bitch as in grey stud lab bitch or is that old wife's tales. Just interested that's all. Thanks

Makes me think of the Blackadder sketch when he shoots and eats speckled Jim lol.

Apparently Custer had over 40 hunting dogs with him during the battle of big horn, and Jeff believes that the deerhoundy looking one to be of his line? Or it could be a proper deer hound.

Wonder how many they went through during ww1
-
Yeah for sure Dan, they been around a while mate Jeff got a picture of one with General Custer. ?
-
JBs lurchers were used in ww1 and probably earlier wars ?

I think a touch of hpr type dog in a lurcher can be of great use, mate has a lab type that has a great nose on her. Once she on a scent trail though she's gone which can be a pain at times. Will retrieve in water which is nice. Only downside is keeping the weight off, never known such a hungry dog.

Ventured out my self on Sunday arry. Much like you had a nice morning out we done a few easy burys as my mate is in poor health resulting in 5 rabbits out of 6 burys purse netted 4 and bolted the last for the dogs. Had a laugh when my pal propped him self against a tree while the ferrets done their job one bolted and so he just fell on it. Lol Happy days. The same burys 6 year ago would have given us 20 plus. Plus we rested this land last year, all five rabbits we had were this year's as well.

Dave Platts the man I would go too, he has a very healthy line of deerhound with plenty of fire in them I believe.

Had the same after a long hard run found him lying in a ditch trying to cool off, left him with a cough for about 3 days. I think someone said he had dryed up his lungs ?
-
Bet she did mate, probably had a blushing starfish aswell
-
A mate served in Ireland he ended up in dog unit red paw, snapper, army attack dogs. Occasionally if someone was unable to feed their dog then someone else had too, and that was when a few people did get bit. So I bet he wasn't the dogs actual handler. Rip the poor sod.
