  1. That lot are all prone to trying their hand at a bit of hunting. They are frustratingly successful at it. Especially the little black and white bitch in the last photo.
  2. Aye very true. Just for the record I was talking about pures, not lurchers. And was referring to working sheep and cattle.
  3. Aye, try true. Amongst the farming world - its cool to be a Kiwi. And so therefore anything Kiwi is cool. So Kelpies and Huntaways have become very popular. They have some awesome attributes and hence why they are used a lot overseas (one being heat tolerance in the Kelpie making it a better dog for Oz etc), but a lot of the ones you see over here are really poorly trained and handled and then of course after that, is the whole pumping out pups for the big bucks they fetch thing. Kelpie pups go for crazy money! I'll give you an example - on one of the big estates where we contract fa
  4. Just read through this thread. Gives you a bit of hope for the dog game haha. Fairplay, cracking, well thought through litter that! And looks like you got a good Kelpie - there is some shit about, they are the new 'cool' thing, along with huntaways.
  5. Some very interesting replies, thank you. For obvious reasons I cannot be too explicit about things. However I think Bosun has the right idea. If I were after a pup mainly for teeth, I’d just put my bitch back to a real good bull x. Same if I were back home running the ground I did then, on hunting in the way I used to mainly. She was bred for certain jobs and she excels at them. I now live in a part of the country where the ground is totally different and I find myself with a ridiculous abundance of certain quarry species on my permission. My bitch does very well and pl
  6. Hello All, Looking for one (possibly two) Pat bitch pups, colour not important, docked and worker bred please. Any litters about, please let me know. J
  7. Its a funny thing - the ban had made little difference to many who were already entrenched. It may have put off some of those with too much to lose. And does appear to have attracted some proper morons, but then they were always there!
  8. I know exactly what you mean. The thing is she doesn’t really lack anything in that department at all. Also Good feet for a bull x, good wind, laid back as you could get, no messing about with anything she has to do in the field. Works with bushers, hunts herself. Runs the lamp well, retrieves and is generally well mannered and obedient. But the ground I run it would be good to add a few gears. I basically want a dog like her, maybe a touch taller, with a bit more speed. And try not to lose the bull x in her.
  9. Haha I now look like post crucifixion Jesus. It’s been a tough few years.
  10. Hello All, Ive not been on here in a long long time. Some of you may remember me, most probably won’t. Anyway, cutting to the chase, I have decided that after this season I want to breed my bitch. And I’m hoping someone on here can point me in the direction of the right sire, most of my very small group of friends either keep bitches or not the sort of dog im looking to use. I have one option currently, which is a dog I go out with, but it’s always worth having a look about. What I’m looking for is a coursing type dog, big, at least 26”, fast and with plenty of stamina and good
  11. Ive always said, if they can take them selfs off to toilet ok, and can potter about, eat and drink and not in constant pain, then they can enjoy their old age. Nowt wrong with an old dog that wants to do little more than potter about the yard. Its when a dog wants to do more, tries to do more and fails that its heart breaking.
  12. "but this morning it met its Waterloo".
  13. I wasn't talking about your post. If you look further down . . . . I'm probably being quite pedantic, but previously things were put on here location wise, that made a load of ground we hunted for a long time, an absolute fecking nightmare, as suddenly it got flooded with muppets who didn't quite grasp the concept of subtlety!
  14. There are Muntjac in Wales. But I have NO F***ING IDEA why anyone would want to put up locations and place names of where they have seen them, on the roads or not. Its been proven time and time again, all it does is attract the idiots! If they can't find them for themselves, f**k em!
  15. I guessed it was one of you. Is it Blue or Chase thats on the settee behind you? Was that the brothers name?
  16. Yes I did, and I was impressed enough. They were also decent lads. I lost contact with them and moved away from the area.
  17. Aye, that'd be grand. Good idea.
  18. I can see Scothunter is reading! Didn't realise you were still here!
