    Bull and collie; the two least favourite breeds in a lurcher for me ! Never had a bull cross, and the term “couldn’t catch a rabbit in a ‘phone box” could have been invented for the only collie x I’ve had the misfortune to have in my kennel ! LOL ! Cheers.

    “Bullherder” ? Never heard of them; are they the new designer dog the peddlers are peddling ? Cheers.

    One thing I noticed about the dogs in Australia is that they are not only stock broken, but broken to native species such as wombats, kangaroos, etc. I guess that they rely on the goodwill of the farmers and also the quite severe penalties for killing native species. Cheers.

    Never been to Shetland, but my dad worked at Sullom Voe for years on the oil terminals. He tried to get me there but I preferred warmer climes ! Cheers.

    Caught fish all over the world, mate, river, lake, sea. Grand Canal, Ireland; Bay of Plenty, New Zealand; Fished the Baltic to the Southern Ocean; the Red Sea to the Gulf of Siam , but still like a day on the stockies locally at Kielder or Fontburn; Cheers.

    You don’t get bored on days like this ; Catch a few fish , then have a mooch around with the dog, then back to catch a few more ! Cheers.

    That reminds me of the advert on tv for bags of coal ……”Contains organic material”. Cheers.

    Ocelot tongue consume’, wrens liver pâté’, perhaps European bison milk ice cream, and maybe a cheeky little Tibetan red to wash it down, nothing exotic mind you ! Cheers.

    I’m on an Aussie hunting site, mainly to keep in touch with lads I’ve hunted with, but I also like to see the “dogs for sale” section. This ad caught my eye; I thought it might interest some of us on here. I particularly like the look of the stag x greyhound, Rocky. A$800 is probably a bit less than £500, reasonable for a started dog, I think. Cheers.

    I got three of them 12ah batteries off Joe Ox well over 10 years ago, I think I gave him a dozen hen or ducks eggs for them LOL ! Two of them are still 100% effective, I’ll not be paying £100 for a lithium while the young p***y I lamp with will carry the old lead/acid batteries! LOL ! Cheers.

    Dodger , you must be fitter than me ! I used to use a 17 amp/hr years ago, but dropped down to a 12. Now I’m seriously thinking about one of those new fangled lithium things ! Cheets.

    I’ve got loads of videos of him riding his horse, trotting , cantering and galloping, on the lunge and riding free, my hearts in my mouth but he’s confident ! His instructor must worry more than me because he’d be thrown in jail if anything bad happened ! LOL ! Cheers.

    His family don’t like dogs , but the Prince that sponsors him has Jack Russells and one of his uncles has dogs, so he’s around them . He loves our chihuahua and says it’s his dog, but he doesn’t like the Deer x as he says it’s hyper ! Its a bit of a myth that Arabs don’t like dogs, I worked for a Saudi sheik that had lurchers that Peter Stringfellow sent him from the queens kennels in Sandringham and also bred Rottweiler and Border Collies. I was gifted a saluki many years ago and when it died he sent me a Doberman to replace it, which I brought home and even gets a mention in one of Darc

    He loves his horses, he’s been on a horse since before he could walk. When he’s here, he’s with the dogs and horses. I’ll have him out on the sulky or the ragmans cart next time he’s here! Not sure what his mother will think ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I sadly only managed to get my son out hunting once , when he was in his 30’s . He was more an academic type, but enjoyed a bit of ferreting with his old dad ! Cheers.

    That’s fantastic, mate ! Look at their faces ! A joy ! Cheers.

    My daughter brought a seven a side team over from Dubai to play in a competition played at St.James’. They were Emirate’s, Saudis and the son of Ugandas finance minister. I booked them into the Copthorne hotel but they spent most of their time at my house or at Shearers bar, and would only drink Blue WKD, as they insisted it wasn’t alcoholic ! LOL ! Cheers.

    A pure bull bitch I owned; A bull x and a coursing bull I had in my kennel for a very short time , certainly not enough time to make decisions on the merits of failings of either type; Cheers.
  24. chartpolski
    You’re, as usual, talking about coursing dogs, so, yes, the saluki revolutionised hare coursing, but there’s lads who do foxes and deer wouldn’t have saluki in their lines. There are many dog men who have absolutely no interest in hares and they prefer other types. You may think the saluki hybrid should be the only weapon in the armoury, but many would disagree. To be fair, if I only did daytime hare coursing, I’d have saluki hybrids, because they are simply the best at that game IF you get a decent one, but to denigrate other dog mens choices for what they do just makes you sound silly.
