What was that, Joe, I forgot what I was on about ??? Cheers.

BL. read back thru' your posts... In one you mention "minshaws" and in the same sentence, refer to the dog in the pic as a "proper rabbiting dog", in another post you say the dog was the only one at the show, including terriers, to mark the sett, which was blatently wrong as D & N's dogs all marked it aswell ! Now, you may not think those posts were "bigging the dog up", but they certainly sound like it ! Now, I've got nothing against Whin, in fact I'm sure he loves the banter and the stick he gets, and I'm sure his dogs do him proud, but once again, I can't see how you can enthuse on her

Well, I'll reitterate for the THIRD time.... I can't see what BL is getting so excited about with this picture ??? The dog may be the best "marker" in the world, but if someone had posted this pic and said the dog was watching people on the other side of the fence, it would have made as much sense as saying it was "marking" !! The way it's standing you could have said it's "pointing" To use this pic to big-up a dog doesn't make sense .......... Cheers.

Have a look on their site. Evidently they are breeding from two Hancocks dogs; Sire is one year old, Dam is under two years old !! That comes directly from their site !!! Cheers. -
Why was your cousin sitting in the boot if the dogs were running free ? Supprised the plod didn't try to do him for not wearing a seatbelt !! LOL !! Cheers.

Chalky; there's a lane runs near my place, a housing estate on one side and a nature reserve on the other side. A while back there was reward posters on every post on this lane for a missing white buck rabbit. I thought, "well, it must have been in the garden and a dog or a fox has had it". A few month later is when we started seeing white, ginger and parti-coloured rabbits in the nature reserve ! Coincedence ? ..... I think not ! lol ! Yes, I agree that some of the coloured rabbits found miles from anywhere are genuine mutations; but I know of to many escaped or released pet rabbits and t

Think this may be a "positive mark" ? Cheers.

I quite like a bit 'o Beddy in them; tough little buggers ! Cheers.

Whin, I'm not talking about lamping..... this was at tha Hawick show, daytime, and a Bull X being slipped and doing what any decent dog does ! By the way, wouldn't you be better off PM'ing Stabbs and explaining how you, Pikeylamper and Shanded ALL have the same User IP ?? Cheers.

My dogs also wanted under that container as I walked em passed, bullx had his head wedged underneath it...the bassturd was showing me up... he aint a fecking bunny dog A few years back, a lad spotted a rabbit on the bankside opposite that container, and slipped his Bull X; away over the fence, caught the rabbit and retrieved it back over the fence to hand ...... now THAT was impressive !!! Cheers.

best age to start working your lurcher?
chartpolski replied to AshR1's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Am I reading this correctly ???? "A bitch will be at it's best at 9 month" ??? Give over, mate !!! LOL !!! Cheers. -
And "Pikeylamper" ? Cheers.
-
I stick by what I said previously; all I can see in that picture is one dog tied to a container and another dog gazing down the back of the container towards the fence/road/river !! To state that was the only dog at the show that can mark a rabbit hole is ludicrous and, frankly, an insult to all the lads that were there with working Lurchers and terriers ! Cheers.
-
Well, well, well........ who would have guessed that !!!!! LMFAO !!!!! Cheers. I cant believe nobody spotted that, what with whins unique style of writing and all! haha I was being sarcastic mate, I've believed for years that Whin and SingleHanded were using each others accounts, since the days of the lamping competition ! Cheers.

any better pics of that dog. has a fine shape to it,and a lovely deep chest. bet it could shift abit, what was the breeding. cheers mc Thanks MC, never knew how she was bred, my Mrs bought her at the Chirk show in Wales without me knowing, I returned to the car an she had the pup on her lap!! First none bull cross I had in years. Really liked her too, showed great promise. Sadly lost her at a yound age. Come over from the dark side, Bosun, come over to the light......you KNOW the hairy dogs are the way forward !!!! LOL !!!! Cheers.

Well, well, well........ who would have guessed that !!!!! LMFAO !!!!! Cheers.

Melanistic Fox; Cheers.

Name and shame, Stabbs ! But what about Hotmail accounts ? I thought they all had the same IP ? Cheers.
-
Of the two pics, I can see which one is "clearly marking", but then again, I'm not blinded by adulation of Whin ! Oh, by the way, I'm 60, hardly a child ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
BL; am I missing something in that picture ? You say "she is clearly marking the sett", but all I see is one dog tied to the container and one looking out behind it to the fence and road .... Here's a pic of my old Doberman "clearly marking a fox sett" ; Cheers.

How is it "putting the final nails in", PL ? I'd of thought MORE people got into dog work, (addmitedly not allways a good thing), than got out of it due to THL !! Cheers.

do these descendants from domestics vary from "proper wild rabbits" ie slower on the run? The ones I've ran seem to run just as fast as "normal" rabbits, but perhaps they are the ones that get their speed from the "wild" side of the breeding, and the ones that throw to the "domestic" side, speed wise, don't make it to maturity due to predators ? Cheers.

Melanism, like it's opposite, albinoism, occurs naturaly in most mammals. It's to do with skin pigmentation. With rabbits it occurs naturaly, and when people introduce tame breeds into the wild population. There's a colony very near me, where there is "normal" coloured and black, white, ginger and parti coloured rabbits; because of people releasing pet rabbits into a nature reserve. Cheers.

It's a distinctive dog...you'd think someone would recognise it ! Cheers.

It's strange, but even just a couple of seasons ago, anyone even TALKING about summer hunting on here would be ripped to shreds !! But now no one seems to worry about hunting all year long !!! Cheers.
