  11. Same as mate and I think it as a lot to do with how we start them and the man doing the slipping . i keep bedy xs and mine don't yap but I see plenty that did in the past from the very best breeding . we all have are own ways and opinions , atb
  12. Best way for some types but not all , I find the coursing bred jooks and whippet bred can be started a lot younger than some types .where as a deerhound x or bedlington grey ,and herder types can be totally ruined by being slipped on something that's going to frustrate its young mind when it as no chance of a catch ,also the strain on a body not yet big anufe to cope with run after run . So can b the quick way to destroy a good jook and end up on fb as world beater in a raffle !!! So starting them early isn't always the right way , but it's always good when your young sapling bring
  13. Nice looking pup ,always good get some fur in a young dogs mouth well done ?
  14. I had a look on dragon driving few times ,I'm going to look at a square open lot when I go see my dad next time ,the lift of tops are ok if you going out calling ,just lift it off and load up and once home unload ,top back on ready for bed , yes defo keep me in mind if your mate gets anything ,I do bit of work just not a basket case as long as price ok , are you in Cumbria by any chance ?

  16. Bath lol ,in winter the adults and kids had strip wash and in nice weather we would heat water on the yog "fire " and have bath in a old cast bath tub .winter hard time on the drom ."road"
  17. I no ol george gaskin well ,I remember his dad and his lad , my mam still hawking pegs,flowers into the 1990s i still make the flowers ,nice gift once all diyed and dip them in glitter make them look nice , henry gaskin ,he had some of the best coursing jooks I see along with ol cocker smith , they can tell a story or to ,
  18. The fluffy brigade have destroyed the whippet x bedlington ,turning it into a lap dog ,show dog . lots of cr@p bred for looks nothing else , im happy the. Dry grey not bred so much as they ruin that as well .
  19. Likes been said the show folk fu@cked the bedlington terrier up ,these types were bred as vermin destroyers not lap dogs , also other types started to be used more and the fire in bedlington slowly went to the wall , yes still bedlington types working but they not like the old stuff that worked any vermin from brock to rats ,maybe if they bred best to best they could turn it around befor to late if not to late already . just my opinion
  20. I never keep a jook just for one job,got to be able to work all kinds of land and game ,one trick pony no good for me as just not got the kennel space so a jook must be a all rounder ,I don't care what's in them as long as they keep me happy and try there best that's all we can ask of them .
