Nothing wrong with pegging a bird or two, (apart from raising Lab's blood pressure ) !! LOL !! Cheers.
-
All the best with it mate !! I've got a soft spot for Whippets; and I DO like that line !! Cheers.
-
Have either of them ever done any work ? What's the purpose of the mating ? Cheers.
-
I wouldn't run them down mate. They usualy do what they are bred for, but don't expect them to be taking Fallow, like some on here say they can !! LOL !! Good luck, and have fun with your dogs . Cheers.

I'm actualy in a very good mood today, it's my 35th wedding anniversary, and I've had a great day out with my wife! So sorry if I come across as a grumpy old twat, it isn't meant...I just hate to see people, especialy young'uns, being ripped off in this game ! Cheers.
-
I'm sorry if you think my advice to the lad was wrong ; but I'll bet if he or his brother go for another pup, they will do with their eyes a bit more open ! The young are the future of the game, and If I seem harsh; it's just because I want to see them learn, and not be ripped off ! If this pup turns out to be a wrong'un, because the lad has been ripped off, he might give up on the game...and that's something I don't want !! Cheers.

I'm intreaged by this ! Why would you want a collie x and then say you want as little collie as possible in it ? There are people who breed and run dogs in Lurcher racing, that are 31/32 Greyhound and 1/32 Collie, just to salve their own conscience and kid themselves that they have "Lurchers" and not "pure Greyhounds" ! Do you want this Greyhound, with a wee bit of Collie in it, for a specific purpose ? Cheers.
-
You asked for an opinion mate ! I gave an honest opinion ! If you wanted "nice pup mate", "nice pic mate",perhaps you are on the wrong site and asking the wrong people ! You, or your brother, have bought a pup, without knowing the breeding, without seeing the parents, and have come on here asking if we know what breed it is !!!!!!! Why not 'phone the breeder and ask EXACTLY what it is ??? I'm not trying to knock you or your brother,but if you take a bit of advise and do a bit homework before you buy another pup, you won't have to come on here and ask what cross it is !! And 12" at 4/5 month an

If you have had Lurchers and Whippets before, surely you don't need to be asking this question ? Did you not do a bit homework and checking BEFORE you got this cross of dog ? Cheers.
-
So he just took the sellers word for it, and took the pup anyway ?? The pup was only 8 weeks old, it should have still been with the bitch ! Were alarm bells not ringing when he couldn't see the bitch ? It doesn't matter how far it was, if it wasn't right, he should have walked away! He'll either have the dog for life, and maybe not be happy, or pass it on, or put it to sleep ! Either option could have been avoided with a little thought. You and your brother have got a lot to learn in the dog game, mate ! You seem like a peddlers dream ! Cheers.

Evidently back in the early 1900's,late 1800's, when "rabbit coursing" with Whippets was immensly popular, and "courses" were "best of 32", putting Bull into Whippets was very popular, and even now, the odd "Bull type" is thrown in Non-Ped Whippet litters.. Had one or two myself ! Cheers.

whats the best all round cross..for h.f.r
chartpolski replied to royjel's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
the other thing chart is when they put it how you put it I would take it as either a bull to a beddy/grey or a bull/beddy to a grey when they actually mean bull/grey x beddy/grey. Even if this is what was meant; would you expect it to take hares with any regularity ?? Of course, we will now get all the replies "mine does" !! I run hares on an almost daily basis, and I know they can make fools of even the best of dogs !! Yes hares have been taken by JR's, Collies, etc, but to take good winter hares takes a special kind of dog ! Cheers. -
I was thinking the same; if it's 4/5 month old and only 12/13"... then it's a terrier, not a Lurcher ! I'd expect it to be a hell of a lot taller!! I hope your brother hasn/t been tucked up !! Cheers.
-
Well, I'd say it certainly isn't half X bull/grey ! Why did your brother get a pup that he hasn't a clue about the breeding; or even seen either of the parents ? You obviously sound like a young lad, maybe you and your brother should have sought some advice, before getting into Lurchers ? I really hope it works out for the both of you, but I do worry about the future of the game when young lads are getting pups they know nothing about ! Cheers.

DeerhoundxGreyhoundxBorzoixAfghanxSalukixWhippetxIbizan xColliexBedlingtonxWhatever else you can think of !! C'mon lads....some of these answers are bordering on the ridiculous !! If you want a dog that can do Rabbit, Fox, Hare, then get a pup from parents that could do it !!......... Bullx BeddyxGrey for hares !! FFS !! Cheers. -

Half the crosses mentioned on this thread wouldn't get near a good winter hare. Cheers. -
No, mate... that's ME !! LOL !! Yes, that indeed is the great Claude Jerimiah Greengrass !!!! His dog, Albert, was/is owned by some one who was a member on here, I believe. Cheers.
-
His dam was a pure Greyhound; nobody know's what the sire was. The dam was handed in to the pound pregnant and the pups were born in the pound. The rest, as they say, is history ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Bruce was an 8 week old pup when he was got from the pound, Vee, we ALL have different ways of looking at our dogs; you don't seem, or want,to have a world beater, just a ferreting/mooching companion, so good luck to you Give it the care and rest it needs, and and hopefully it will be OK. 12 months is not to old to start a dog, remember you will have it for the rest of it's life !! Good luck to you and your dog !! Cheers.
-
Get along to a Non-Ped Whippet track mate; you'll see any amount of 1st cross brindles ! Cheers.

Who hasn't given their dog an "easy one" ??? Seems like it was a young kid, who didn't know better !! He'll get well f****d by the court, and "there by the grace of God it wasn;t any of us " !!!! Stop slagging the kid !! OK, he shouldn't have recorded it, but how many have done or seen the same ????? Cheers. NO DIFFERAINT FROM DROPPING A RABBIT FOR A YOUNG DOG .. fecking wish people on these sites buying into the anti bollox ... and think the people who are posting these kinda posts should be questioned... these seems to be a few of these posts on the site and all need to be removed

what has ever been done to get the ban lifted
chartpolski replied to oneshot1986's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I would disagree; there are FAR more idiots, chancers, peddlers, etc, in the game now, than before the ban ! The ban has had no effect whatso ever on me...I still go out with the Hunt; I've never had permission before or since the ban, and poaching has ALWAYS been a crime, the ban changed nothing except stopping organised coursing. Cheers. -

You must be young mate !! A lot of people fought hard and marched, protested, and more than a few got busted heads in the process !! People were locked up for mixing it with the antis at The Waterloo Cup..... We tried hard to stop the ban, but illegal immigrants, rapists, peadophiles, etc, have more rights in this country than hunters !! Cheers.
