Be interesting to know if anyone knew of the floyd dog which was meant to be Arthur's son and was from Dorset area .
-
Sorry misread it , thought he meant Jack was put over a 1/4 bull bitch

What was Jack then Bill ? 1/2 cross ?

I spoke with the chap whose dog sired my 2 pups today and got on to how he is bred . He had the dam to his dog , she was a 3/4 grey 1/4 bull with the bull coming from Arthur lines ,by his account she was the best dog he had ever had , a once in a lifetime dog he reckoned , he put the bitch to a dog called floyd which was located through Jason Powell and also bred from Arthur . I am not really interested in the big name thing and I know for sure there were plenty of bull x out there doing a better job quietly , but I am interested to know how Arthur was bred if anyone knows and if anyone k

What does a Scottish Deerhound cost?
runner neil replied to Campbell's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I had a first cross deerhound greyhound up until a few years back . Got him a 18 months old as he didn't get on with the previous owners Alsatian dog . He was a fair lump of a dog and absolutely friggin useless at anything at first . He did however gradually get better , he was never going to be a great dog but he was half decent after I put some work into him . It was actually good to watch him on rabbits as his technique was entirely different from my other lurcher I had at the time , it's right they cant corner but once going straight he could really shift and he would just swoop in an -

Surely it should never be about what one man wants but what others know he should have ? -
Sent you a pm mate

Got a pair now , litter brothers for next season

He shows up nicely in the dark

He is delighted, was really getting into coming out with mine so it's really good for him to have this one .

So after the disappointment of loosing my lurcher recently after he was showing so much promise here is the one to hopefully fill his boots next season . Got him for my lad a few weeks back with the idea of getting him going for my lad alongside my dog next season , but all the best laid plans etc Anyway thank goodness we got him as my lad is besotted with him and I think its helping him get over my one , plus he is starting to ask all the right questions about getting him going etc His dam is a whippet / bull x grey and sire is a line bred bull grey , both well proven local do

Thanks mate , I do keep thinking what if I had done something differently but that wont bring him back . We got my lad a pup a few weeks back so keeping our fingers crossed that he turns out to be a good one.

They tried a fair bit for him , glucose levels were way down but they couldn't stabilise them all night , got them to level out this morning but temperature was sky high and wouldn't come down , he was still semi comatose and twitching like mad . Then started severe bloody diarrhoea so suspect some sort of poisoning but hard to say exactly what . Last resort was general anesthetic to knock him right out and gradually bring him round . While under his temperature dropped to normal and he relaxed the twitching . On bringing him round again he went back to exactly as he was before , by then I had

Not the result I wanted , had to have him put to sleep Thanks for all the support its appreciated
-
Thanks mate got everything crossed
-
It's not the best , felt bad for my lad having to leave him with the dog while I got the truck . I have never lost a dog working or had anything like this so losing 2 must be horrendous for you.

I have read that this morning, just wish I knew before . I have just spoken to the vets and he is still flat out although now responding to light sensitivity. Blood tests have come back and he says there is a bit of a problem relating to kidney and liver function showing up although he did say that could be the result of the poor start he had before I took him on . Fingers crossed for some positive news when I speak to them again later .

Thanks mate , I will carry some glucose from now on . Never had it happen before or even heard of it so guess I have to learn from my mistakes.

So after basically rescuing my pup in the summer 2018 and putting lots of care into him thereafter by the time the season was under way he was looking really good and showing some promise on light workload . I had been really looking forward to this season all summer as he was getting fitter and fitter and showing real prey drive . So we get to September , have a few light evenings out gradually building him up and he knocks his foot so out for a couple of weeks , then kennel cough arrives ... ffs , so September is written off completely . Into October and his foot is good the cough

Thank you all for the positive comments, I am very pleased with him
-
Thank you , I am pleased with how he is coming along , literally an RSPCA case when I got him . He is just over 25 tts and about 15 months old
-
Its surprising what he is getting through now just mooching about while i work

Sire is whippet / Collie x grey and dam is first x bull / grey

I am getting quite excited about the new season just round the corner . My youngster started to show some promise at the end of last season and now after a couple of months out on the farm he is shaping up nicely , his prey drive is fantastic and he even has some manners . Have attached a couple of pics , not the best sorry as he doesn't stand still long and one from just after I got him as a hat rack that had been kept in the back of a van with no exercise and plenty of problems
