If it's the 100w, 2mcp lamp, it's to open and close the cooling vents. Cheers.

Grasses, walking the big land ???What the hell is this guy going on about ??? I don't know any grasses, and I haven't a clue about walking the big land !!! Cheers.

The guy has a dog, a Boergreyhound, a breed most on here, including me, have never heard of. It would be interesting to see it and hear about it, instead of the usual "Lets see you bull X's", etc !! LOL !! I think you are wrong about the age of the kids that post nonsense on here; I've hunted with 17, 18, 19 year olds from here and they have been great ! I think the crabbers are around 14/15, have never had a dog, (or a life!!), and just spout shite on here to look "big" !! LOL !! Cheers.

The guys "harping on" about jackals, as you put it, because he is from SOUTH AFRICA !!! This forum has members frm all over the world, not just the UK, and I for one, enjoy reading about dogs and quarry from different countries ! Cheers.

OK, I've got a few spare minutes, so I'll try and give MY answers to your questions, which I STRESS, are only MY opinions. 1, Yes Whippet and Greyhound are the usual base breeds for Lurchers, for one reason only..SPEED. But I find that Saluki and Deerhound are also being used more and more as a base breed. 2, Certain crosses are used for various reasons, the most obvious is the quarry they work, the land they run, and of course, personal preference. 3, Airedales ARE used, but not as popular as Bedlingtons. Beddys are, I think, the only terrier with the shape and speed to go with th

If the lurchers you have seen "backed off a bit at hedges", then they were poor specimens ! I think you have allready made your mind up on a Whippet, as why would you want a lurcher if you don't think they have the drive ? Good luck with whatever you decide on Cheers.

I think Tomo's big bags come from about 200 mile SOUTH of Berwick !! Cheers. -
A puppy running about with it's lead still on, after another dog and a rabbit, at night, is a recipe for disaster !! Let the pup BE a pup, and wait 'till next season to start it, mate. Cheers.

How can you compare Greyhounds and rabbits ? Greyhounds have been domesticated and selectively bred by humans for hundreds, if not thousands, of years; they have been bred for coursing and racing, and in racing have been bred to excell over different distances, such as sprinters and stayers. Rabbits are wild and subject only to natural selection,(of course I'm not talking about pet rabbits, just the ones we hunt,LOL !), So you can't use one as an example for the other ! Are rabbits faster, fitter or fatter in different parts of the country ? Quite possibly, but not to an extent that it should

I can't believe there is ten pages of arguing who's got the fastest RABBITS ! LOL! Surely ANY decent dog will take ANY rabbits on ANY Land ???? Cheers. -

I doubt anyone seriously gets a 29" dog in just for rabbits, but you gotta admit, those ole' pencil neck Deer X's look good ! LOL ! Cheers. -

I have a 23" bitch and a 29" bitch. The little one is definately the better rabbit dog, but that doesn't mean the big 'un isn't a decent rabbiter aswell ! They are both "allrounders" and each doe's some things better than the other, so they make a decent team. I have no hesitation taking the big'un lamping, even though it's not the reason she was brought in for. Cheers. -

chartpolski replied to MaxiMuM-RisK's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
According to some on here; pure collies, beddies, staffies, etc., have no problem with rabbits, so I'm sure a 29" deer/grey could catch one or two !! LOL !! Cheers. -
Well, that just goes to show I'm never to old to learn !! LOL !! Reading that, it seems as if some black & tan breed pups keep their mothers immunity longer than other breeds, so should be vacinated later, if I'm reading the article correctly. Cheers.

The prophet Mohamed said all black and tan Salukis "had the devil in them" !!! He was just as stupid as your mates vet !! Cheers.

Depends what type of hernia and how severe it is. Most pups make a full recovery from a hernia, with the right vetinary treatment. Cheers.

chartpolski replied to Big bald beautiful's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I think I'd be more worried about the traffic and the dog getting knocked down, than skinned pads ! Cheers. -
Reminds me of this lad, same sort of breeding; Unfortunately killed in action at a young age. Cheers.

What posts are you reffering to ? I can only see one reply that was someones attempt at humour. Every other post is commiserating with the girl. Cheers.

No matter how old you are, or how long you've had dogs, it's still gut wrenching to lose a dog, BUT, it is, unfourtunately, part of the game ! Blaming the bloke who took you out won't realy help, you will meet pleanty of dicks in the dog game ! Have a think about it when you are feeling a bit better, and get another dog and start again ! Good luck to you Cheers.

There are feral goat herds near me, but they are usualy culled by shooting. I've never heard of them being caught by dogs. I've spoken to lads in Australia and New Zealand, and they reckon goats are very easy for a dog, even the big Billies, and most lads avoid them or break their dogs to them. Perhaps you can comment on them, Revmix ? Cheers.

Rats, mink, and at one time, otters and badgers. Cheers.
