Bull X Greyhound = 1st x, 1st generation. Bull/Greyhound X Bull/Greyhound = 1st x, 2nd generation. Etc, etc. Cheers.

There will be a few women on here reading that comment, and having a wry smile !! LOL !! Cheers.

Used to allways rub the Whippets down with a towel, before and after a race. Not so much with the Lurchers, as they usualy have a walk and a stretch before running. Running a dog "cold" is asking for muscle injuries, so a rub down or a stretch before running is reccomended. Cheers.

I sort of get the point of this thread, (I think) !! If you are in pursuit of the "ultimate" dog, or the "complete allrounder", you are goung to cull an awful lot of dogs, as these mythical beasts don't exist ! Of course, I agree with trying to better your stock, but when do you decide a dog isn't good enough ? I've a bitch in my kennel that was better at five year old, than she was at two; Also, how high do you set your benchmark ? Many people want a dog to mooch about with and take a few rabbit, a companion, while others want a match dog. I think the only answer is; if YOU ARE happy with wha -
yes when only the good that work pass on the genetics I must have missed them days ! As people have been breeding shite for as long as I can recall Cheers.
-
Which "days of old" were they, when only the best were bred ? Cheers.

Not having a pop, mate, but if you're running a dog, keep the basic stuff handy; like wound powder, Dettol liquid, Dettol cream, super glue, bandage, etc. ! Do the basic first aid immediatley, not the next day. It'll save trouble in the long run. Hope the dogs OK ! Cheers.

When I first got into this game, many years go, my first love was daytime Coursing, and I thought back then that the pure Greyhound was the ultimate coursing dog. I came to realise, that for what I did, the Lurcher was a better bet, then along came the Saluki Hybrids, undoubtably the best hare dogs; but now, has the Greyhound fallen behind even the pure Saluki ? Are we needing less and less pure Greyhound in our running dogs, or do we still need to add the Greyhound blood every so often ? Cheers.
-
I was given the Doberman, in Saudi Arabia, to replace a Saluki,that had to be PTS at 17 year old, anyhow, I used a vet out there, an old Scots guy who knew his job; and he said there was some though amongst vets that the syndrome was caused by pressure on the dogs spine, although it hasn't been proven. My Doberman would seem to get the "head shakes" sometimes if she had been lying in the same posistion for a long time, then got up. She was never in pain with it, but it did look a bit disconcerting ! Cheers.
-
My old Doberman suffered from "Idiopathic Head Tremor" as she got older. It's a syndrome common to Dobermans, some Bull breeds, and can occur in other breeds. Some vets I spoke to had never heard of it, while other vets knew of it, but couldn't suggest a cure ! Apart from the head shaking, there was no other symptom with my dog;she was alert, and it would stop as suddenly as it started.Try a different vet and mention this syndrome. Good luck with the dog. Cheers.
-
Did the vet DEFINATELY say it was some kind of poisening ? I ask, because you say the dogs were f****d, and it's a pup, (how old ?), and it seems like it had a stroke or some sort of aneurism. I remember LDR's dog, Billy had the same symptoms after a hard night on the lamp; fitting, and went blind. Had to be put to sleep. Hope this isn't the case here, and the pup makes a full recovery ! Cheers.

This is getting tedious ! You made a statement and IT WAS WRONG !!! I know it, you know it and everyone reading this post knows it !! You won't admit you were wrong, and no matter how much you twist and turn, you KNOW YOU WERE WRONG !! Now, as I say, this is getting tedious, so I won't bother replying again. Whatever I've done, or wherever I've been has nothing to do with the fact you made a stupid, WRONG statement !! You can't deny it, as it's written in this post, twist and turn as much as you like ! Last word from me !! Cheers.
-
Mate, you can back peddle as much as you like, but YOU said no one can lift a wild boars leg and knife it !!! You were WRONG, and have been proved WRONG !! By the way, I've hunted pig in North Africa, Eastern Europe, Australia, as well as NZ ! You said killing a boar with a knife couldn't be done, so OBVIOUSLY you HAVEN'T seen It!! Instead of trying to justify your mistake, you should just admit you were WRONG, and let it go, with a bit of dignity !! Cheers.
-
Are you being serious? He probably is being serious, Stabs, as he has never seen it before ! Although I think I'd prefer the .308 myself !! LOL !! Cheers. What do you mean? I've never seen it before? A picture of you besides a truck holding a rifle doesn't prove anything. I've done a bit, closer to home than NZ, although one of my best pals lives in Nelson, overlooking the river. In France the dogs we used were fox terriers, the pigs weren't stuck though, they were shot whilst at bay. If you want to lick someone's jacksie, crack on, just don't try and mug me off

How old are you mate ? Cheers. Not meant for you, Rio !

Gelert was actualy a MYTH, he never happened !! The same myth is told around the world...a good stoty but no truer than Jack Londons White Fang, or Call Of The Wild" !! Cheers.

It makes absolutey no difference if a dog is kept indoors or in a kennel ! They are DOGS, not humans !! I have two in kennels and two in the house, They could swap around, no problem, as my kennels are heated, dry and damp proof ! If your kennels are good enough....then it shouldn't be a question ! Cheers.

Problem is, there is to many young lads getting into Lurchers ! I won't say they are getting into the "game", as probably most of them haven't got a lamp or walked a field !! They are just buying and selling dross, or breeding from the same shit and selling pups to other idiots ! Now, I'm the biggest supporter of young lads getting into the "game", but these are usualy lads who have parents, uncles , friends , in the game !! Proper kids, who will carry on what we do ! But, there are the kids that buy and sell dogs and don't give a shit !! PLEASE young'uns, ask before you buy !! Cheers.

In this day an age that is to be admired mate, i've only bred one. As far as i'm concerned the bitch is as important as the dog, i'd always admire a good bitch over a good dog and there are far more good dogs. So choose wisley, (no offence) but with your years with running dogs behind you, go for your gut not your head, you'll know when something is right, no matter how 'unlikely' that may seem. When I heard about Lima's litter, (Doxhope Knights Errant x Rivington Ena), my gut instinct was to get one ! My "head" then kicked in and I did my home work, including PM'ing the man who bred t

Forget it !! Expensive and no better than a striker or blitz... believe me, I've seen them..just a con. Whatever you are lamping, the gear that's on the market now will do, never mind this over priced shit ! If your dog can't take it's quarry in a blitz, then get a new dog...... not a new lamp !! Cheers.

As soon as he said "mint" in kennel; then it was obvious he was a chavy c**t who shouldn't be allowed to breed ! Let alone have animals !!
-
What sort of prick puts a pic like that up when they are selling a dog ??? Obviously a f*****g retard !! My blood boils when I see this shit ! I live near there, but don't know who the prick is...... but I'll bet he is on here, and is to tight to pay the donation to advertise, or is just an inbred f****r who knows no better !!
