    The topic title intrigues me, truely fascinating, and yes i think you are quite correct in your hypothesis, sometimes a thread comes along that really makes you think.............

    A mate bred a litter and him and another mate kept one back each, saw one a couple of months ago and the other two weeks ago, big strong pups already at 6 months or so............

    Dog wardens will be finished for the night, taking it to the local cop shop is an option, so is the local kennels........ Good on you for caring, just dont tuen the fecker loose as you can guarentee the owner will then turn up, plus a pup that age is a danger to itself and drivers...

    Its a given the photos will be amazing and a mate proof read the text and from what he tells me i think this book will be something special...............

    The thing is you can NEVER be truely self sufficient, you can grow produce, rear meat and perhaps barter for a few things but Gocompare aren't interested in swapping 5lb of sprouts and a leg of lamb for this years car insurance etc, so although you can supplement your lifestyle and save money, to be truly self sufficient would require you to live a VERY basic lifestyle.......

    I disagree Raiye, i have several friends who work lurchers, but of those perhaps only 8 are close enough who i trust enough and know they work and keep there dogs how i would like any pups i bred to be kept/reared. If i bred a litter tomorrow off my dogs i may rehome 2 to those friends, mainly as though despite how good my dogs may be there kennels are already full and they have enough dogs for the work they get. I have been offered a couple of truely excellent dogs off mates over the years but i have had to decline as i have enough dogs.................

    Climbed Everest in 96, solo flew a Cessna around the world in 53 days, walked from Perth to Sydney in 207 days, yet all these pale into insignificance the day i read a 3 turns/whin thread and understood them totally.............

    Quite fancied it in Oz, got books on self sufficiency over there, growing products that are almost impossible here, such as tobacco lol

    I will get it,thanks for the tip I have done the self-sufficiency bit abroad where it was relatively easy as I had a couple of quid tucked away for emergencies and a small boat and house,I prefer my comforts nowadays,we soften with age,but wouldnt mind a couple of acres somewhere just in case,always worth while preparing for emergencies 4 hectares plus house with stream on the land - 55,000 euros catalonia region Been looking for future reference :laugh: About 3 hours work?

    Coursing is illegal in Kent so i doubt anyone is going to shout "yes world its me"..........then again this is THL............

    No she's not crated and she is left in the house with my other dogs, she exercied 2hours somes 3 per days. She is given a pedigree jumbone before we leave the house. The times range from one hour to 3 hours to longer then that. I've had her since she was 11weeks. Many thanks. So its an ongoing problem, some of the things i would suggest you are doing, exercise/something to chew on, and the dog even has company. Its a problem thats baffling at times, i have a lurcher, had him since 7 weeks, for the first year of his life he was kenneled and never made a noise, then i moved, he came
  19. Simoman
    It can be a difficult and very frustrating problem, is the dog crated? I find that crates can help with dogs displaying the problem, a few more details, how long is she left, is she exercised/fed prior to being left, how long have you had her etc etc...........

    Bit of a generalisation matey, i think its an old wives tale the cross has no brains. I think a saluki bull mix from the right stuff is a great running dog imo.......

    I doubt anyone is going to join the thread and admit to it, but the game is riddled with scum, so often a gamble.............

    Good author. I think with regards to the original question it depends on what standard of living the fella wants, including his diet etc...........

    May help matey if you state if you have permission or you are hoping to go on other folks land
  25. Simoman
    No offence chap but Lincolnshire is mainly covered in shooting syndicates and permission can be hard to get, i know being from Lincolnshire. The fact is you only knocked on 5 doors and got 2 who said they would get back to you, in my eyes thats fantastic. I remember spending 4 days off work knocking on farms, i must have tried 50/60 and got one farm out of the lot. The only way to get permission is perseverance, be polite(even when they aren't), look smart and be sensible. Dont go dressed like a moron, dont take dogs, dont expect farmers to be on their knees praising your arrival. Keep tr
