I picked this dog up from Whin about 5 weeks back, the dog was given to me, to see what I could make of him,
he needs a lot of work and socialising, the Ingredients are there, I just have to extract them he has a great engine room
and can run,
Beautiful dog ! Best of luck with it, I'm sure you'll get the best out of him !
Cheers.

All the resavoirs around here , Derwent, Kielder, Fontburn, are fishing well, fly and bait, at the moment. Maybe the change in the weather ?
Cheers.

I'll upset a few folk now, talking first crosses only, if you want something that looks great and moves amazingly, then get one ,if you are serious about hunting , forget it. They're either too big for what your hunting in this country, or if hunting something big, they're not agile enough.
Bit of a sweeping statement, that ! I've seen deer x's doing everything that other x's can do, and sometimes more, up here in Northumberland....and BTW, I'm a big Saluki fan, so no breed blindness here ! LOL !
Cheers.
lier you hate bullcrosses
Send me one of your next litter up, and I may get to like them !!! LOL !!!

ah but mister chartposki you own a deerhound x so you will stick up for them
me personly woul rather something smaller cheaper to feed that you dont need a field a mile long and wide for them to get up to top speed and turn imoI also own a Beddy X, and have owned most X's and purebreds, and as I said, I'm not breed blind. Only speaking as I've seen; how many Deer/Grey X's have you seen run on the fells and moors ?
Cheers.

I wish the hunt all the best; as I'm a supporter of fox hunting, and have followed this hunt many times.
Cheers.

not all lurcher's will actually run a lure,I've tried to time my dogs on many occassions down the year's with my mates greyhound lure and have never had a lurcher that would run it,my mate the greyhound trainer reckons once they have run a lot of live quarry you are wasting your time trying,I suppose if you ran them from a pup and they knew nothing else it would work,so my question to you lure courser's would be,"do any of you run live quarry regularly?"this is not a criticism but a genuine question and would like some honest answer's,yis,wirralman
I believe alot of the non ped raceing people will not let their dogs see live quarry as pups as the dogs are in the learning process but have heard them running rabbits when older.I am going on when a mate whos now retired from work was running a pup on for another mate a well known lad on the non ped raceing scene and from a 12 week old pup he would take him down to the allotment to spend the day with him .The path to the allotments young rabbits would be running about and the pup managed to catch one when it was 4 and half month old and another at 5 month the lad who he was running it on for wasent pleased and took the pup back the dog later became a supreme raceing champion but my mate laughing said if he had seen meny more rabbits as a young dog he believes he would not have entertained the lure.atb dell
I've known a lot of Non-Ped and Greyhound men who have given their pups a rabbit or two to "keen" them up, when they've shown no interest in the rag, usualy worked.
Cheers.

grant the fella with the deerhound x in the second pic down looks a right dodgy one.
A harmless owld sod, as far as I can gather.... just likes to reminisce about the old days !! LOL !!
Cheers.

can't speak for lure coursing on your side of our pond, but over here it is done pretty much entirely w/pure AKC dogs. the rules don't help the damage done by breeding for show, they penalize a dog for cutting corners or grabbing the lure. and the saddest part is these knobs think the lure coursing is preserving the working ability in the dogs.
That's the part I don't understand....... a dog that runs like a "Lurcher", cutting the corners and getting to the rag first, gets penalised, yet the dog that simply follows the rag thru' the gates wins !!! Nothing against people lure coursing, but I can't see how the best dog wins under those rules ?
Cheers.

I paid a visit to the whippet racing the other weekend at Maltby Rotherham.. i really enjoyed it. End of the day a lurcher will chase a ball etc so what does it really matter what the lure looks like..its just a bit of fun, although to some a passion.
Wuyang; off topic, but your avatar made me smile. I remember when I was in South East Asia, the record I saw for most on a motor bike was 2 adults, three toddlers, a baby, a basket of washing and a dog in the basket !!!!! All on a Honda step thru' !!!!
Cheers.

Another reason lurchers are just getting bred more and more for short bursts of speed if you want to race dogs get a non ped whippet or a greyhound and do it properly ffs
I agree with you 100% poach. I've nothing against Lurchers having a run behind a lure for a laugh, in fact I walk my dogs to the local Whippet track, 3 mile, give them a run or two, then walk back, it's a bit different to normal excersize. I'ts the people who are breeding "Lurchers" 15/16th or even more, Greyhound blood and take the racing so seriously. As you say, why not just get a Whippet or Greyhound and do it properly; under rules and out of traps ?
Cheers.

hi all
i recently bought a u caller night eye lamping kit with a 12 volt battery pack and charger.
When i went out last night after about an hour the light wasnt worth a piss.
Is this normal for the battery to die out this quick
I had it charging over night and it was at full strenght when i left home.
Atb
myles
What Amp/Hour battery is it ?
Cheers.

But is was'na fair for ye to pay that bairn a fiver to drop the red rosette behind Joe, and have the bairn to ask Joe if it was his rosette !! I thought ye only took the p//s out of us English !!
Cheers.

Forgot to add
I won a first in the Sporting Lucas Terrier class with my dog "Fred" the only downside was there was very little competition I also forgot to put him in the Champion Terrier Class after him winning his own event on Saturday 
Tom
Aye and that insiduos Highlander Joe,who ws so consumed with jelousy at you getting a red rosette, let your wee dug run loose !! Only to be rescued by the site security !!
Cheers.

aint foxgun a sexy wee man
:clapper: Just seen this and I'm really concerned for you shroom? But being serious for a moment, this old style and traditional show is only made possible by the dedication of one individual and that's Fran!! This remarkable lady and I speak most days! and I know the effort she puts in, she was in great physical pain over the weekend and and still smiled and took this show to the dizzy heights of being one of the best there is?
This lass works under a great deal of pressure and fights tooth and nail to give the best for the working dog enthusiast's because she is one of them herself!! she is also my closest and dearest friend. She and her husband Adie are like family to me!
People like me are only a small part of Fran's crew, but!! she's definately the Captain and she deserves to be applauded for all she's done? she has the respect and admiration of all of those who work with her!
As for me! I'd like to thank all the members of the Hunting Life who attended and the rest of Fran's crew!! they're the best and most loyal of friends a man could have.
Thanks everyone
Tom
Ach... your're still a wee waister, but we still love you and Fran !! A HELL of a lot of work went into that show !! And a lot of people appreciate it !!
Cheers.

wrong jamie MLB had a pup with me but didnt show her, but pleased you had a good day also, maybe see you next year atb jamiew
I think MLB may have meant me.... My Deer x won the pups on Sunday. I met MLB's daughter last year, during the lamping competition,and was impressed with her. I met her and her mum at Harewood; good dog people !!
Cheers.

An absolutly top two days !! Firstly, thanks to Fran and Aidy for their freindship and generosity! Secondly, thanks to the younger generation, Lee,Kim, and all their freinds for looking after us old 'uns, especialy "Auntie Pam", (I did explain to her what GILF meant !! LOL !!), and last, but not least, cheers to my Jock mates, Tom and Joe; for all that "water of life", that you plied me with when I, (often), visited the Neilston tent !! But for Gods sake, (I know it goes against tradition), but get Joe to wear something under his kilt !!!! He was scaring the dogs, never mind the women !!!! I met and had great craic with loads of lads and lasses from this site, had a good old craic with Cocker around the lurcher ring and in the beer tent... your son's a fine young lad, looks brought up properly ! It's a shame I missed Miles, Snoopdog and Darcy; I was judging the Whippet Show, and came up to Pauls Saluki and Falcon display afterwards, but Cocker said I had just missed you !! All in all; possibly the best Game fair for working dog lads and lasses, good to see MLB and C/G there. Looks like you realy enjoyed yourselves !!
Cheers.

When the Red Kites were on the endangered list, Harewood, and other places, started a breeding and re-introducing program. They now breed in the wild there, very succesfully. I've watched them over the last three years and there is more of them every year and they are getting bolder. As the marquee's were coming down last night, they were landing within feet of us, picking up the food scraps. Harewood also has a hare conservancy program ongoing.
Cheers.

Speed (meters per second) = Distance (meters) / Time (seconds)
so if your dog has a greater stride then the lager the distance he travells in that time so faster he is.
i think
Yep - thats what i was trying to put into dog terms.
Doesn't work that way, or else a long 28" greyhound would be faster than a shorter coupled 25" greyhound, and as we all know, this isn't allways so.
Cheers.
i,ve seen some short coupled dogs destroy a long 28 inch dog over 100 yards its when the big dog gets in his stride he should take it.some people like big long dogs for there terrain but up here in cumbria anything over 26 inch can,t get opened up cause the fields are to small.
I think you're right! A short coupled dog will do better in sprints and running on small land, but I don't think that was the origional question. A long backed dog MAY get up to a faster speed, but circumstances may decide otherwise when running quarry. Nevertheless, I still like to see a long back on a running dog.
Cheers.
if you think about it though if you have a small whippet runnin next to a big lurcher the whippet is going to look like its going a lot faster because its moving its legs a lot quiker. but the lurcher might me doing one stride as the whippet does two strides but they wil have travelled the same distance. thats probably why a small dog looks like its going faster than a big dog.
Mate, you're right ! I have a 23" bitch and a 29" bitch, and when they are running together the little'uns legs look like a blur, but the big'un looks like she is loping ! I run Delta, (23"), with Bruce, (27"), and they look like they are running at different speeds, but they still get up to the quarry at the same time !
Cheers.

I don't know the dynamics of it; and I've seen some very fast "short coupled" Whippets and Greyhounds..... but I do like a dog with a good legnth of back.
Cheers.
daytime dogs
in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Posted
I've seen dogs straightlined by hare and roe, daytime.... also seen the same dogs take hare and roe fairly easily at other times. There are a lot of variables with running certain quarry; such as time of year, type of land, and even weather conditions, One thing I will say, anyone who says daytime roe are easy, let me know where you are running them, 'cause the buggers aint easy up here !! LOL !!
Cheers.
