  1. That dog wont let j down mick . Make sure you rub him down after journey down pal . And time his pre fight meal
  2. Good offer tomo . Like all threds , just gets hijacked
  3. Fragile dogs these days are deerhounds and greyhounds . Recipe for disaster.
  4. Very true charts . Hence I keep a small circle of friends
  5. I personally think that's where lads went wrong with deerhound crosses. The auses and yanks had right idea . Jmho pal . Breed for work . Cull the wastage
  6. As you know walloper. I have the old stuff in mine . They were real hard grafters
  7. Charts . For me . If i had a pure deerhound and wanted to breed for work . I'd be using exactly that . And animal that's very sound around 26" but fast with gears . I'd sacrifice a bit of height to gain durability. Creating a deerhound x that can take a lotta graft . The ones I've seen tend to be a bit fragile and can't go out a few days in a row . The best ones I've seen , we're deerhound x lurchers. The dogs in my line were all that way bred 40/50 years ago . And they lacked nothing other than that bit extra steam . Thats were the saluki blood got added. I'm sure you'd agree with the deer
  8. Put a good hard fast lurcher over a deerhound bitch . That'd be the thing to keep the litter sound for work . Imho
  9. The tortoise is growing fast pal . Looking well . All your animals are in great nick tbh
  10. Spew as in turned its heed . Looking at it , it didn't look like it was bred for that game . However, my auld da always preached about books and covers . Coulda been worse gunt, coulda been in hull lol
  11. Get someone very confident to hold pups . It's very easy. Use common sense and get behind the little nib . Clean cut and some iodine spray
  12. Poor walloper. A THE rangers fan
  13. In fairness to mick . I think it's fair to say a few browneyes are winking lol
  14. Mick will be allowed over the tweed , only to be sent homewards to think again lol
  15. Remember lads . It's still August. Do the talking whilst your walking
  16. Thankyou kind sir . I learned a long time back that this dog game is all about opinions and egos . I don't take myself so seriously as to be easily offended. Been keeping dogs for 45 years . Never took time out nor changed tactics . There's a young lad on here I've offered advice and guidance. It's nice to think you try and do right by people. Unfortunately there's a high percentage that are just crabbers. I keep a very small circle of acquaintances and that works best for me . And as my auld da always said . Respect your elders . I tip my cap charts
