I had the pleasure of going out with the lamp a few times with a chap from Plymouth way back in the mid 90s , I was running my collie / grey x deerhound at the time and the chap was friendly with a few of my mates . He had a first x bull grey and at the time it was the first i had seen , i remember it looking the meanest dog i had ever seen and made my 25 tts look like a whippet . Anyhow my mates told me plenty of times how the chap and his bull x would ride on the back of the quad out on the downs , get to within striking distance let the dog go and he would pull reds down , they were however

Sounds like you are heading in the right direction, good luck with him

The venison bit seems relevant to me , had a little bitch back from a mate who used my old deer x grey to line his bitch . Had her from a pup 8 weeks , live on my own farm so she always around sheep , never battered an eyelid , used to go in with pet lambs even play on the garden with lambs and my kids . As she got older she used to come out round the ewes with my Huntaway and was always more interested in rabbiting than the sheep . At about a year old she realised the Huntaway would go up in our woods after roe and would join her ..... never bothered me until my neighbour said they had seen t

Looks good , what is the breeding of your lurchers ? Going to try to get mine out for an hour with the lamp before it freezes

It is good ground , little fields but it suits me and i have quite a lot of permissions which is good . Did always run a collie x deer / grey and a first cross deer / grey but they got older and kids got in the way so had a few years out , just getting back int it really and have a 11 month old pup ... his mum was first cross bull /grey and the dad was whippet / grey x collie so hoping he will make a handy dog What do you run ?

Yes mate , between Launceston and Liskeard Plenty where i am , but my dog is only young so this may change as he gets older .

LOL ...... do you want some Bodmin Moor blood in them
-
Coming up for 11 months now , still a bit mad but definitely quietened down . Been out with the lamp a few times and a days ferreting, he is very keen . Considering when I had him he was very under weight and not very well looked after , I think he is starting to look quite good.

Not seen one in Cornwall for about 5 years now , used to be a lot out on the moors

Clu-Briter sport .... light and seems to last ages with a good beam spread . Maybe not great in massive fields but as my biggest is about 6 acres its perfect for what i want from a lamp

Here she is .Hell of a job to get a decent picture , she is carrying a bit of extra weight at the moment but not to worried as she is an outside dog and it gets bloody cold here in the winter
-
Lol ... super patient me ? She has always done it any scent and gone !! Did read somewhere that they added Foxhound blood when creating the Huntaway to add endurance , guess thats where the nose and drive comes from

Will try to upload a couple later

Chap i work for has a Collie / Huntaway x lurcher , getting on now and retired but showed promise when younger but the chap isnt really a dog man and didnt know what he was doing . I have a pure Huntaway bitch at home which i use on my sheep . Her prey drive is mad , as soon as we finish doing anything to the sheep she is gone off through the woods after deer / foxes , as you say she is vocal but only seems to be when scent hunting if we are ferreting or out with the lamp she is quiet , not a huge amount of speed but could run all day and super clever . I have been thinking of putting my

My tractor broke down earlier and while I was waiting for the engineer a whippet turned up , shortly followed by a lady with about 7 dogs on leads , turns out the whippet was the father , and black lab she had with her the mother and the remainder were the offspring. ... they looked very handy dogs , almost like they had a bit of bull in them , said they had to stay on the lead else no rabbit in the area was safe ☺

Great video , dogs working well with the ferret What breeding are the dogs please ?

I have the varmint in .177 with weirach silencer and Hawke scope. Its my first pcp moving from various springers and i am really impressed by it . Seriously accurate and found it to be an excellent hunting rifle . Only downside i have found is that i was meant to share it with my lad , but he finds it a bit heavy so bought him a smk which is also very impressive especially at about £170 .

Perhaps he will turn his liveliness into good pace later
-
I hope he calms down a bit , really pleased with him he just a bit manic . He does get a good run out both ends of the day with my other dogs . Thanks
-
He is out , for a couple of hours in the morning while I feed up and check stock and a similar time in the evening. Started taking him on the lamp once a week and playing about ferreting weekends.
-
Perhaps , but he is nothing like my others that I had from a puppy just seems a bit more full on .

Hello , having recently taken ownership of a new dog after a break of about 8 years i am interested to find out about other peoples observations of temperament of their lurchers The dam of mine was a straight bull x grey and the sire was collie x whippet / grey ..... I think he will make a good dog , he is about 10 months and have started to give him a bit of a run out to get him used to the lamp and working on recall etc My main question is will he calm down , as soon as he is out of the kennel he is full on and literally runs everywhere ( i live on a farm so space no problem ) and

Hello everybody Thanks for accepting me on here , I have been an avid follower of the site for some time and thought now would be a good time to join . I live in Cornwall and have recently started running dogs again after a break of about 8 years , I have a whippet x collie grey back to a bull x grey , only a young dog about 10 months , took him on in a very bad way at about 7 months old and now started to get him fit .. Its great to have a dog again as i have a fair bit of land to run on and i am keen to get my son into dogs Hopefully i can contribute a bit to the site
