    The coursing world mate, if pures were that much superior the linbred dogs wouldn't get a look in which we know hasn't been the case.

    Who said they are lol

    How can you say they weren't available when folk were putting greyhounds or lurchers over these pures, doesn't make sense.

    You don't just breed for the sake of it, like I said, you wouldn't put a pit pony over a thoroughbred. Adding greyhound or lurcher to the mix must have been an asset for the dogs over here.

    I said hardly any lol and also said improving what they had ?

    But they were here though so don't understand why you would put them over lurchers or greyhound's if the pures were better and not lacking anything?

    If I bought a pure APBT I wouldn't just put any old dog over it if I was struggling to find something, I'd buy another APBT.

    Plenty Stafford's with apbt in them, and plenty apbt's with staff back in them...

    They weren't available... And they were improving what they had

    I know pures were there before but that doesn't mean a breed or type can't be improved mate.

    Western dogmen are probably the best in the world mate IMO.

     

    There was hardly any available to "dogmen". The few that were, got crossed with what they already had, lurchers, greyhounds, then best to best. It would have been interesting if some folk had just worked and bred purebreds over the same time?

    Forget about it pal, not sure on the few hundred quid ones as never spent that much but even the seeland an harlila trousers an that are either light enough to not get a sweaty arse or are  water proof you won’t get both imho, quick drying an half decent wearing is as good as you’ll get, if you do fancy some water proof ones tho for standing about or sat on quad or that them I got the seeland water proofs an they do job, also got a pair seeland ones that ain’t water proof am I wear them a lot an they take the abuse, not best when proper wet tho ?

    Kinda what I thought cheers ? I've just got leggings that I'll put on if I really have to, like the morning dog walk so your not wet all day, or at work etc. But you'll know yourself if you've got a Berghaus on or similar you can end up soaked round the bottom of it, or hunting up rush etc. ??‍♂️

    Is it only fairly recently that lurchers have become so readily available to swap and sell at older ages? Cant ever remember hearing of,  or seeing this much when I was younger and my old man and uncle ran lurchers. To me a dog that is 3/4 years old would be in its prime? 

    It's nothing new. Always been Muppets, be nothing wrong with plenty of them dogs. Swap a coursing type for lamper, then a terrier, then a air gun etc. Or selling a ten week old pup because the lass has just had a baby ??‍♂️ or it doesn't match the colour of the curtains

    There is a way of using one piece or rope/string round the neck of the dog, without a collar and using it to slip. I've seen it done and it worked brilliantly but i'd need to see it again to do it.

    If your not a fan of a collar on your dog when its out, this could be ideal.

    Seen folk using a gundog slip as well. A pic would be better, but the choker part goes on the wrist, lead round the neck and pulled through the handle part and held with a finger. Clear as mud lol
