  11. Bringing A Bitch Into Season

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    Had a bitch here that never came in season right from the start after a lot of trying and bringing to the vets and trying galastop she came in but didn't hold the dog I used.. After 9 years and no hope of a pup from her a bitch kenneled beside her brought her in and as the dog I wanted to use was in with her I got them to hold and 9 weeks later she had 2 pups one still born and one now that's 12 weeks old and flying..

    Interesting thoughts ......

    Just for the record I’ve never bred a litter of Lurchers in my life ...... and the only bitches I have in my kennels are 13 and 6 months ? I had one dog I thought was worth breeding off, a cracker, and I waited until she was a ‘proper’ age and lined her, she was dead shortly after. Pretty much regretted not breeding her earlier and getting some pups on the ground. It left us with one animal out of that litter left which we bred (don’t worry she was five ?) and that’s mam to my pup.

     

    Anyway I digress. I see plenty of folk advocating using certain dogs of the right age on here and in general but which have probably not done a huge amount. I know dogs half their age who have done far far more. For arguments sake we aren’t talking rabbits, but let’s say a fox dog. Which is more tested - a six year old dog which has 5 seasons, 4 of which they have caught Charlie, maybe 10 to 20 a season. Another dog had only had three good seasons on them but owner has put the miles and time in, and killed 50-100 a season single handed. Which one is more tested and worth breeding off and which is more likely to jack the following season ?

    Has anyone seen a decent fox dog that did good numbers first three seasons but then jacked in later life with no other excuse than heart ?
     

    I think if it like terriers - there are lads digging a dog 100 times a season and lads digging a dog 20 times. Does that make age irrelevant ?  
     

     

    Reguarding terriers pal they could be both good working dogs just go about there work different and the dog that's getting dig 20 times a season might spend more time in the sick bay then the dog that's dug 100 times once there both putting the graft in and if your using as a stud and have seen the dog work regularly and are happy then you've no one else to ask in my opinion is all

    Hope he does OK bud ,shame about the other one but you got your pup and if I could take a litter from my bitch and she only have one be a blessing as it takes away the worries of placing pups in good hands .

    Good luck ? 

    Yeah was delighted with one but lad I lamp with was after one as a bitch he used his dog on had a phantom.. But he's getting the best of everything being the only pup so hopefully everything works out now

    She's been covered before and the dogs have tied in her and she never held at all...shes been a decent bitch and would like a pup from her but thought the chances were low when she didn't hold and hasn't really came in season properly... A bitch beside her was in heat and brought her in hopefully might get luckey and get even one would be ideal

  18. Dogtrace x20 and new x30

    in Hunting With Hounds

    Posted

    Got the X20 of the fella in clare and he was spot on to deal with and very helpful... Tracker is working great and it very helpful when a dog is marking or popped into ground it give the last known location and brings ya right to the hole entrance.. Won't find them below ground but as a tracker it is spot on and very handy to use and I know a mate who has x30 for a good few seasons and hasn't had any bother at all

    Thanks pal he's been an honest dog since I got him.. He was going to be pts but I chanced him on and he never looked back the lad who had him before me just didn't give him a chance he was done before he started type of thing but he hasn't turned a foot wrong with me and hopefully after this season I'll try get a pup from him

    I was told this fellas breeding is wheaten x deerhound greyhound... If it is he's very easy to live with has an excellent prey drive and is very good at hunting up and is never a hassle around other dogs I have him just over a year and he has never let me down or shed away and has often saved a blank night on the lamp
