I had a pure Saluki that sometimes went into the "stay three feet away" mode, and it's the most frustrating, infuriating thing ! The only way I could get him back when he was like this, was to get in the motor and drive a few feet away, stop and open a door; he would fly into the motor, every single time !! LOL !! One thing for certain though; I'd never take him or any dog like him, ferreting !! They are just not meant for it ! Cheers.

I don't realy "finish" as such. I'm always up to something, even if it's just running a rabbit or two when I'm fishing. Obviously , nothing like the work the dogs do in the "normal",winter season, but there's always something to keep them occupied ! Cheers.

"Mainly Lampers" Seems a strange thing to say; From what I read, some lampers have had only good things to say.... Cheers.

Go on, Cocker !! Lend him one of your bitches !! LOL !! Where do these people come from ???? LMAO !!!! Cheers. -
Didn't there used to be,(maybe still is), a "Rabbit Pack" of terriers, that go out ? I seem to remember reading about them on one of the sites ? Cheers.
-
"Bobbery Packs" used to be quite popular a while back; a couple of Lurchers, Whippets and Terriers all mooching around to see what they could lift. It wasn't supposed to be serious hunting, just a walk with the dogs and a bit sport. On a day like today, it would be far better than sitting here waiting for the football to start !! LOL !! I had my two out for about three hours this morning, and if I'd had a flask of soup or coffee with me, I still wouldn't be home ! Nowt wrong with having a long walk and letting the dogs run loose, catching something is just a bonus ! Cheers.

Moll,can I hire you to come and take a few pics of my big Deer X jumping fences ? LOL ! I've tried a hundred times, but it never works out !! Cheers.

I hope no one will mind me putting up this pic; it was the last time I saw Jimmy...he was a Lurcher man,, R I P.
-
I won't be there, but I'll be thinking of him and his family. The last time I talked to Jimmy was when I was Runner Up to him at the Scottish Champion Of Champions, a few years ago. He was a Lurcher Man...............Enough Said.

I never saw the dog, Andy, but I have spoke to the owner, and both that dog and it's litter sister, which was supposed to be a better worker, both met their end doing what they were bred for, taking pig ! Cheers. -

Strangely enough, that's a popular cross in Australia, but I did laugh at the "fat lass" quip ! LOL !! An Aussie EBT X Grey; Cheers. -
Well, her dad was a canny show dog !! Cheers.

Whin, once again, this thread is about the worst dog YOU have had; not about the worst BREED, or the worst dog someone you KNOW has had ! Now your dogs may be good, but you can't have had perfect dogs all your life; one of them MUST have been less perfect than the others ? That's what the post is about ! Cheers. -
CP you must have been lucky mate I know a good few lads who have been turned over by customs/police when they've been crossing especially when going from Holyhead and Liverpool. They never seemed to show an interest in the lurchers though There was over 20 of us went over, mate, many of them members of this site, and not one of us were checked, in either direction ! I was judging the Whippets at Birr, and there was everything for sale there, from game birds to terriers to lurchers ! If I'd known how easy it was, I would have brought a few birds back with me, (the feathered kind,! LOL

Question was "Worst dog you ever OWNED" ! But of course, you have never had a bad 'un; so why bother replying ? Cheers. -

A 1st cross Collie/Grey... put me off Collie crosses for life ! LOL ! Must admit, it was an adult dog when I got it, (swapped it for a terrier, couldn't be arsed with that digging lark !!). It could jump like a stag, had endless stamina, but couldn't catch a rabbit in a 'phone box !! LOL !! Cheers. -
I wonder how many dogs stolen here in the Uk end up in Ireland, and vice versa ? Two year ago, I got the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin, with two of my dogs and did a bit of coursing over there, and not one check of my passport, what I had in the motor, etc, nothing !! Either direction !! Eire is, after all, a foreign country, why is there no Immigration or Customs checks ? I'm not complaining, it makes travelling over there much easier, but also for the theives !! Cheers.

I've spent time with American Marines, out of Camp Lajuene, N..C. (where these accused lads are from), and some of them have been to my house, and during both Gulf wars, I spent a bit of time with them, mostly drinking in "The Brass Eagle Bar " of the Americn Consulate in Saudi Arabia !! LOL !!; I found them to be friendly, polite, and above all, very professional !! It's right what Tomo said, if they are found guilty, they will be made an example of ! I hope it's just a case of a "few bad apples", as the ones I know are top men !! Cheers.

Electric fence. Cheers.

I've had some great memories over the years of my dogs, both here and around the world, but one of the most memorable was just a few month ago, with some Australian lads, running their dogs on fox in Victoria. We had a confirmed four foxes, and a great day out, working top class dogs; Cheers.

You could offer "Shashi" the last Waterloo Cup Winner, for free stud on here, and you would STILL be attacked !! LOL !! Still, your "42 mph" claim hasn't realy helped ! Good luck with your dog !! Cheers.

Who would allocate the seating ? Pity the poor bugger that got put on the same table as me, Whin and MarkBrick !! They wouldn't get a word in edgeways !! LOL !! Cheers.
