  1. @Yanh1 Mine and Bobs first X’s ; same parents , different litters. Cheers.
  2. My pals young deer/bull/grey x grey; Cheers.
  3. I’m expecting to bring home at least six fox brushes to hang up in the man cave so I can brag about it, so you better have them dogs fit ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. Missus wanted a salad for dinner today; so, from allotment to plate in about 1/2 an hour; Cheers.
  5. Dave will tell you we had our on-line disagreements but we’ve been out on some great days in North and South Scotland and I consider him a good friend and a top dog man. Same with Max, we’ve had a few disagreements on line, but you’ll not meet a nicer , more knowledgeable dog man in real life. A proper family man aswell . But then again, you get Berwickshires world expert on dogs who’s a shithouse on line and in real life ! LOL ! Cheets.
  6. There’s one or two that spring to mind that turned out completely different in real life to their on-line persona ! LOL ! But hey, I may have been considered a cantankerous old f****r in the past by some……. couldn’t see it myself, though! LOL ! Cheers.
  7. I’m not really wanting to get into this, and I’m sure Gunter doesn’t need anyone to stick up for him, but a pal of mine went over last year to hunt with the same lads I’m going to see and they fixed him up with a day out with Gunter and he said to me it was one of the the best days he’s had ! The lads I’m seeing have also recommended I have a day with Gunter and his hounds and terriers, and it’s arranged, and I’m looking forward to it. More “walking the walk” than “talking the talk” ! LOL ! Lets hope all the daft talk dies off when the season starts ! Cheers.
  8. I don’t know what the wolf hounds in Canada are like, but the ones here would be useless as a cross, far to big and heavy. My little bitch Delta with a pure Wolfhound; The Aussie lads on here will recognise Doug Mummerry, he bred and used pure wolfhounds for hunting and his dogs are in the lines of many crosses, but the Australian version of the Wolfhound is different to our show types ; Cheers.
  9. The pic of the dog and bitch mating are Hickling bred. Cheers.
  10. The canny Scotsman had a buyer for the lot, I never even got to take one home ! LOL ! Cheers.
  11. I did mine in the back yard , the family weren’t THAT understanding! LOL ! Cheers.
  12. when you say family life and convenience I wondered how my family and neighbours felt back in the 60’s and 70’s when the “BabyBurco” was bubbling away all day filled with tripe, lites, pluck, sheeps heads etc ? LOL ! Cheers.
  13. My deer x bitch loses weight and condition during her season so I give her similar to that, but chicken and tripe. It seems to work . We’ve been discussing feeding raw green tripe on my WhatsApp group and all agree it’s great grub for dogs . Cheers.
  14. Don’t get me wrong, my dogs would happily eat a tin of chappy or Aldi complete dog food, but I know they look and perform better on the diet I’ve got them on. Yeah, it’s more of a fuss, but it’s my hobby, I’ve got a chest freezer in the wash house for dog food and any game of fish I might get. I get around 50 kilo of raw minced chicken at a time, it comes in 1 1/2 kilo packs, I take one out of the freezer at night and feed the next morning, so no real problem with flies. As for travelling, well as I said, the dogs could have tinned or dry for a few days no problem. When we went to the
  15. I think the camera man started nodding off towards the end ! Cheers.
  16. Wasn’t this one was it ? I was genuinely told a few hours ago it was “a 30 second killer “ ! Cheers.
  17. I’ve nothing against any crosses, but I’ve always wondered why use a HPR as a cross, they’ve been bred for centuries NOT to run in or chase game ! Cheers.
  18. I still talk to a lot of lads who no longer come on here, they have a good laugh at some of the nonsense I see on here ! LOL ! Cheers.
  19. It’s a small world, the lurcher game ! Cheers.
  20. I spoke to him a while ago, doesn’t like his name mentioned on here, we lamped up and down the country with impunity, in his Subaru, all winter for a couple of seasons and never got stuck once ! LOL ! He actually lined one of his bitches with Scout and offered me and LDR a pup each. Cheers.
  21. The family owned swathes of Hampshire and owned race horses ? Cheers.
  22. 100 yards minimum. Cheers.
  23. I may be wrong, mate, but my take on this, having a bit of experience of pure and non-ped whippets is that the non-peds suffer more foot problems than the pures is simply down to the fact the are far, far faster and , usually but not always, racier built, more muscular, for their size, (height). Its a definite that the non-peds suffer far more gracilis problems as well than the pures, again I put this down to the speed difference. Just my opinion . Cheers.
  24. No mate, years ago . Cheers.
