Looking well there mate. His little buddy is a ten year old collie bitch ?
-
He keeps growing.

Some interesting answers. I guess it’s a toss up between producing a proper all out runner and usin a grey or big leggy sighthound mix lurcher or producing a little knock about dog and using a whippet or small type lurcher.
-
She’s the least intelligent collie I own ? the main aim of the game is to produce a dog that could come round in the truck with the collies and go out with the bushers and mug some stuff. We don’t really have rabbits here, but my lamp dogs are getting to look a way that they aren’t really something I can take some places round here day time.

If you were going to breed a collie lurcher out of a leggy collie bitch, what would you use over it ? Greyhound ? Whippet? Lurcher? If so what type ?
-
The upside of permission, is being able to rock up, crack on, no looking over your shoulder, do what you like with little stress etc. Maybe not as fun sometimes but if you have the right ground it’s handy as for the dogs!

I get that ? I’ll ring the farmer ...... aye crack on buttercup........

Just from reading your posts mate. That lad with perm have no balls etc etc

Lampers mate, but they are lamping the hares.

I have massive massive respect for anyone out walking the land with a good dog looking for good hares. It takes a lot of balls to be out there doing it and testing the dogs in today’s climate, and if folk didn’t do that, we would lose the blood we have now. We hardly see anyone walking the ground, in fact I’ve only seen one lot this year and it was two young lads late teens / early twenties who’d traveled a fair old way on their own in a little car to get their dog some runs. I pulled up, had a chat and told them best places to go find a few runs and left them to it. Mostly lads just

Mate don’t put words in my mouth please!
-
No I’m not. But I happen to live somewhere there are thousands of hares, and to be honest a lot of the lads who come out after them are a pain in the hole, in a major way! They cause lots of damage and waste a lot of folks time and I can understand why some folk just want rid of the problem. I personally hate the idea of hares and stuff being shot like that, I don’t shoot. Luckily our hares are too good for most folks dogs and so it’s only the odd half grown one I find killed and left. Some of these sporting hero’s you talk of are doubling up on stuff in July just for the recor
-
Do they really do it just so lads can’t have a run? Honest answer, is that why you think the shoot the hares ?
-
Does sound a bit like you’re the one with a superiority complex mate. Or a chip on your shoulder. You seem to view the whole world as if it’s neatly split into two camps. Not meant as a dig, but life just isn’t like that.
-
When we going ?
-
Thing is lots of folk have perm and still go where they like to. Its handy having a reason to be about at night, with dogs. Life isn't always so black and white as it appears. Life isn't always about 'taking sides', just getting on as best you can to achieve whatever it is that you wish to.
-
I think what folk forget . . . . is if you have ground that anyone can go on, and everyone does. . . . . . how much game do you see? Everyone knows the type of spot, lamped to death. . . . On a side note, go round when its snows or weather is bleak, and look just how many small birds and other animal take advantage of all of the feed . . . . . Oh and the game covers and crops. . . . . . . what about those?

Please please dont tell me you take your info from the express and the sun?

Ive got a lot of perm, about 6000 acres or so of it, is on keepered shoots. Its riddled with game, and the keepers are sound. Regularly get offered digging, lamping, ferreting and shooting. I dont even really go beating for them or anything. I'm just not a knob head to them, and do the job they require with no fuss. They just arent fussed if I use a gun or a dog, and in fact appreciate the place dogs have in pest control and game management. Even taken runners on shoot days and had keepers stand me and mates in good spots and then work hard to get us some good runs etc. Just like absolutely ev

We most certainly need photos!

After all of the various points and debate, I actually finally get the basis of your argument. “Thinking I should matter most in my own land”. I get it. As to Africa, I’ve spent a bit of time there, it’s very varied, it’s like any place, from one end to the other it changes a lot as do the people, despite being various shades of dark. It’s history and how it’s been intertwined with everyone else’s history is interesting. There’s something very fascinating about the place. Depressing to! And also amazing in many ways. But you’re right, it’s a f***ing mess in many ways for whateve

Thank you for your answer mate. ?
-
One question, for interest? Have you been to Africa much? Funnily enough there are a lot of things I agree with you on wilf. However, I just cannot ever except that every whites person is superior to every black person ........ just by dint of birth and genetics. Have you met some of our indigenous people? What I noticed when I used to work in inner city shit holes with the lowest groups in society ........the parallels could be largely drawn by class and social grouping and not race ...... so the little black gang banging scum running about were just modelled upon the

I’ve seen similar. Don’t know the answer but anyways wonder things like soil composition ? Is there an increased level of minerals in that part of field etc ?
