    If I was judging a Whippet, I would mark it down for bad ear carriage, and also weak chest; BUT I would consider a weak chest a far more serious fault than bad ear carriage in a Working or Racing Whippet, and, as you know, I, also, like a Whippet to look like a Whippet, and have made my feelings known on other forums about 55 lb "Whippets" !! LOL !! Cheers.

    If I gave him nothing at Birr, it'll definately have been because there was others that conformed to the Whippet Standard better than him. That's the reason I prefer judging Whippets than Lurchers. With Whippets you have a recognised standard to work to; with Lurchers, it's basicaly what takes the Judges eye. Birr was a good show, and a few people even came up and thanked me and shook my hand, people who didn't win, even !! Shows are just for fun, in my mind. If your dog pleases you in the field, then you have a WINNER , whatever it's ears are like ! Cheers.

    "Prick" ears IS a fault in SHOW Whippets........ but means absolutely NOTHING in working or racing Whippets. Cheers.

    The Lurcher is allways changing and evolving. This is what seperates it from it's KC cousins.In my life time I've witnessed the rise of the Saluki Hybrid and the Bull Cross. These were virtualy non-existent when I started. Have they improved the Lurcher ? I'd say yes in both cases. Shows have changed massively since I started, and I still think the Lurcher is going in three directions, Show, Race and Work. This won't be to the detriment of the WORKING Lurcher; they will still be bred by lads who want workers. But the show and race types will proliferate,and prices will go up and up. I'm also h

    We didn't know what "Biologically Appropriate" meant, when we first started feeding bones and raw food !! LOL !! Cheers.

    Not to be picky or having a pop but you make it sound as though it is a specific brand of food "a few places sell it" and "it usually comes in 1lb packs". Could be misleading to someone who doesn't know. It doesn't have to be commercialised. It can include butchers scraps, meats from supermarket, raw veggies etc. You can even feed game you catch yourself wow lol i just answered the guy, what would i have to gain oot it??? it does usually come in 1lb bags, an loads a places are selling it now, even local little pet shops, no its not a brand, i never said it was, an neither di

    BARF isn't a trade name mate. It means bones and raw food. The protein level, as has been said, depends on what meat you feed. Mine get lamb, chicken, beef, liver, game, etc. and they all have different protein levels. Cheers.

    Without seeing better pictures, or, better still, seeing the pup first hand, I'll reserve judgement. The 1st pic shows nothing, how can you compare that pic with the 2nd pic ? If they were both side on, or both front on, then I would hazzard a judgement. If you can see something I can't see, good luck to you ! Cheers.

    look at the legs pal It's a terrible pic of a young pup !! What are we supposed to deduce from that ? I'm not disagreeing with the lad, but he could of given a bit more evidence of "neglect".............pal. Cheers.

    "Ears don't catch rabbits !" Cheers.

    To be honest, the 1st pic doesn't realy show anything ! Perhaps you should have taken a side on pic, if youy wanted us to see a neglected pup. Cheers.

    I'd love to see the inscription on that trophy in the "Gin" picture ! I probably seen it race, and possibly raced against it ! Cheers.

    All depends what Complete Food you are feeding. If you are using £6 a sack rubbish, you get what you pay for !! The difference between cheap shit and decent stuff is like the difference between sausage and steak !! LOL !! I don't use Complete, by the way, I prefer BARF. Cheers.

    What about the "Widdrington Train", Bill ? That was a contempory of Thorn. Was it any relation, did you see it work ? Cheers.

    £350 for a pup from an "unplanned litter", bred from an 11 month old pup !!!! ???? I'm not sure who's worse; the seller or the buyer !! Cheers.

    The dog my mate had was a Deerhound type called Brin. He was the first dog I saw do "the four tricks", HJKC, on a hare. A very good dog, but Thorn beat him fair and square. I had one of the first Saluki types in the area, and tried many times to mate her with Brin, but it never came off. Cheers.

    When I was hunting in Australia last year, the Master of the Barwon Hunt asked me if we hunted the same type of land. The land they hunt is like a prarie, stubble as far as the eye can see. I tried explaining about the foot packs of the fells, but you have to see it to believe how rugged them Cumberland fells are !! Cheers.

    You have me at a disadvantage !! LOL !! Yeah, I think it was about 4 or 5 years ago, I was there with ASD. I used to have a craic with an old guy in his 's who ran with that pack. He allways had an old hound at the shows with him. He told me how they used to bring their Lakies over here to put a bit of Beddy in them "to add fire" !!! A grand old chap, sadly passed away now, one of a dying breed of hound men !! Cheers.

    These are Coniston Hounds. Reckon they've got feet to match their stamina !! Cheers.

    I don't know the guy, so I don't have a personal opinion of him. It seems to me that the animosity is caused because of his site; A lot of people appear to have been banned simply because they disagreed with some of his points of view; and others, like me, were never even allowed on the site ! I DID manage to have a look on, and quite honestly couldn't see what the fuss was about; it wasn't any different to the multitude of other sites that sprung up and have mainly fallen by the wayside. Cheers.

    Feral cats are a major pest in Australia, and are, quite rightly killed at any opportunity ! I wonder why it is, (or was, before the ban), such a no-no for us to kill them here ? But then again, in Oz, some states PAY you to kill foxes....... here, it's a criminal offence !! Cheers.

    From the Bedlington and Deerhound way back in the breeding ? Cheers.

    well aye man, it's canny like, ta muchly cp and she gives them non peds a race as well, you will for sure mate she's got the brindle dog in docherty's book twice in her pedigree, apparently he was mated to his daughter if that jogs anything mate If you mean Thorn, ( The Assassin), yeah I knew the dog, not well, but my mate had a match with it, and got beat !! LOL !! A top class dog, and this was before the Saluki Hybrid became popular. Cheers.
