Maybe Don to a Saluki ??? Cheers.
-
Why not ? There are some tremendous Grews around. There are some Non-Ped Whippets, ( Whippet/Greys), that are breaking track records on Greyhound tracks, so put to a decent Lurcher should produce some good pups ! Cheers.
-
I said to Fuji, a while back, that Don to a Grey would hoy good pups, (well, in my mind, anyway) ! And I'm not even a Collie X fan !! LOL !! Cheers.
-
Can I realy hang up my Blitz and get one of these ?? Will it do the same, or better job ?? Cheers.
-
Can't beat adding a bit of (class) Greyhound blood into a line now and again !! Cheers.
-
A grand looking dog ! Shame we are only allowed to run rabbits these days, or he maybe would have thrown decent pups out of a bitch like my Deer/Grey !! Cheers.
-
Lukehunt, Reddawn is down your way, he'll show a young lad a good time ! ! Cheers.

And get yourself up on the Duke of Northumberlands land and tell the keepers "Charty" sent you !! Cheers.

Sounds like "The Dales" is now some magical, mythical place for rabbits, as "The Fens" is for hares, to some of the younger, less experienced members !! LOL !! Cheers.

salukis have far more stamina than dh and if you got the right saluki and right dh I cant see how they wouldnt make handy animals ....but the main thing is finding the right blood and types imo OK, so adding Deerhound to the Saluki,what are you adding that the Saluki hasn't already got ? Coat, obviously, and possibly nose. As I said, they may make decent dogs, but any better than the base breeds ? Sal/Grey x Deer/Grey is a different thing; I've seen some very good dogs from this cross; but a straight Saluki/Deerhound; I'd give that a miss, personaly. Cheers.

I could be wrong; but I've always thought that feeding working dogs on "complete" food is a lazy way of feeding dogs ! What's wrong with sourcing good raw meat and bones, keeping a few chickens for eggs, getting brown bread from bakers waste, etc, and making up your own feed ? To be honest, I use "complete" as a biscuit, and mix it with the raw and eggs, and veg, bread, etc. It works out cheaper than using only "complete", and I'm sure it's better for the dogs. Cheers. -
best place for mooching on the dales?
chartpolski replied to Lukehunt's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Tony Blair's Labour government introduced the "Right To Roam" act, and it certainly included England ! But this law doesn't give anyone carte-blanche rights to do what they want on farmland !! I recently had an altercation with a farmer who leases land from the local council, and he tried the "threatening" route, then the "private land" route, but when I explained that I had checked with the landowners,(Newcastle City Council), he grudgingly admitted there WAS public access, but all his rights as a tennant were still in place, i.e. tresspass by damaging crops, tresspass in pursuit of game, et -
By adding Deerhound or Saluki to a Greyhound you are hoping to add stamina, (amongst other things), to speed. By crossing a Saluki to a Deerhound, what would you be adding to either breed ? Don't get me wrong; they may turn out winners, but I can't realy see a Sal/Deer X being any better than a pure Saluki or Deerhound ! Cheers.

No No !! I said "outrage" ! Not like your uncle Whin would spell it; Ourag,,, Cheers.
-
So that's why I allways carry a small pair of bolt croppers with me..... cut that shitty barred wire and electric fence stuff !! Yeah; just joking before all the self righteous arseholes jump on the "outrage bus " !! LOL !! Cheers.

If I was on 150 - 200 k a week, I'd just smile as well !! Cheers.

You've got a Misuss !!! Cheers.

camel f****r???? Rag heads, sand niggers, etc. Not realy shortening the name, like Brit, from British, or Paki fron Pakistani, probably more offensive, but I think most Arabs wouldn't care, unlike the Africans in this country who, not all, but some, seem to find offence everywhere ! Cheers.
-
Tomo, I worked for many years for Saudi Arabian Airlines; every year we would have a meeting with everyone from the top to the bottom of the corperate ladder attending. One year the Pakistan delegate objected to them being called "Paki's" ! The Director General, who was a Saudi said; " When the British complain about being called Brits, and the Americans complain about being called Yanks, then we will evaluate the situation !!", a very good reply from an Arab, I though ! But, of course, he was British educated !! LOL !! Cheers.

Writing to your MP about this would only brand you as a "Racist" in thier eyes, ( remember Brown, and the old woman he called a "bigot ?) as MP's are mostly, in fact predominantly, governed by the "Guardinista" type lefty minority who speak out and get their opinion heard, whereas the majority of us go unheard ! It is a fact that the majority of "working class" people vote Labour; but have Conservative values ! Ask any Labour Voter about Immigration, EU, Defence spending, etc, and you will get the complete opposite view to that of the Parliamentry Labour Party !! If only we would open our eyes

Just thought I'd let the people who say "wish the fens were nearer", "wish I could run my dogs on the fens", etc, that they CAN, if they got of their arses and went !! LOL !! Cheers. that they CAN, if they got of their arses and went !! LOL PRE BAN! OK, smartarse; they COULD have !! LOL !! Cheers.

I'm not a fan of Collie X's, but that's just my opinion ! There are obviously some great Collie Types around and allways have been, after all, the laymans view of a Lurcher is a Collie X Greyhound ! I'd just say, make sure you get a pup from proven stock, from a genuine lad, (or lass !). Best of luck with what you get ! Cheers.
