    silly talk,its all in the blood,you breed from pets you get pets.all the lads at the top of there game have one thing in common,a good line of dogs behind them. if it's 'all in the blood' it surely doesn't matter whether the blood works or not corse it does how do you know whats in the blood if its not tested an if inferior dogs turn up then surely they have to be culled no good breeding off something you think is in the BLOOD if you havent tested it so hypothetically you wouldn't take a lurcher pup bred out of top honcho's unraced unworked sister I took a pup out of West

    Just as the season was going nicely, Delta couldn't decide wether to go thru' or over a barbed wire fence,and ended up going into it !! High up on her back leg; Shaved, cleaned and trimmed; Back together; She's a tough little bitch and a quick healer; a week should see her right ! Cheers.

    The "Hunting Act 2004" is such a badly advised, badly thought out, badly draughted, badly constructed law, that no one is exactly sure how to interpret the "gray" areas, So if the police, magistrate, judge, etc says you need a written permision letter and you say you don;t.... you better get a very good, very expensive btief !!! Far easier , if you have permissionn get a letter ! Cheers.

    doesn't have to be written does it? the law just says permission doesn't it? it says written for terrier work but not for rabbiting/ratting. Yes it DOE'S have to be written. If you don't have your permission letter with you, how doe's the cop know you have permission ? .... OH !! That's right !!! He 'phones the farmer or landowner at 3 o'clock in the morning to check, and pisses him off so you lose whatever permission you had ! Cheers.

    It's ilegal to hunt ANY mammal with dogs, day or night, including rabbits ! Rabbits and rats have an exemption ONLY if you hav WRITTEN PERMISSION from the landowner or tenant, so if you didn;t have written permission, and you were lamping, then the copper was right !! Any amount of barrack room lawyers will tell you it's ok to lamp rabbits; but believe me, IT'S NOT unless you have WRITTEN PERMISSION !!! Cheers.

    Some of the best game available, if cooked correctly ! Cheers.

    If you already have dogs living outside, then you'll know all a dog needs is a dry, draught free kennel, with some decent bedding. A Whippet should be no different to your other dogs if that is provided. Cheers.

    Never actualy heard of any dogs KILING a wild boar; they usualy hold it or bail it until the hunter administers the coupe de grace ! Cheers.

    Was this an accidental mating, or did he do it on purpose ? Cheers.

    Bob, I was racing Non-Peds in the 60's & 70's, and still go along to watch now; but your'e right, and it's not just in Scotland.... to see handicaps here in the North East of England with only 6 to 12 dogs is a shame. In the old days it was a magnificent acheivment to win a R.Ch, there was that many dogs ! But now, it's fair to say some get their R.Ch's on a bye !! I ran at the Rising Sun in The British Open Championship, and there would be well over 100 dogs; running a heat, quarter final , semi final and final to get amongst the winners, but at Cambois Open a few days ago, some classes

    I've got a 1st edition "Badgers at my Window", by Drabble. I would never sell it; it's amongst my collectiion of classic books, along with some of the great hunting, lurcher, whippet and greyhound books ! I also have some great books by the New Zealand bushman, Barry Crump; his "Good Keen Man" is the best hunting book I've ever read. Bob, my little Lurcher bitch, Delta, is a 23", rough coated, six year old, Beddy/Grey X Deer/Grey-Whippet/Grey, and still does times over 150 yards to handicap in at the Whippet track ! She's about 20 yards slower than the scratch dogs,but that's still faster than

    Do they still have the delay in getting to full power ? I wasn't impressed with the one I saw, certainly no better than a normal Blitz. Cheers. was it a 170 you saw again the blits ......... in you post on the last thread it was ....... Yes, it was a 170, and as it cost more than a standard 240, I wasn't impressed. The blitz was as good and didn't have the warm up time. I'm not looking for an argument, simply stating my opinion. When cost/performance comes into it, HID simply isn't worth it for lampimg. Cheers.

    I had running dogs before Plummer wrote his books, and to be honest, although his books were a decent read, I still prefer Walsh, Col. Hancock, (not THAT Hancock !!), Douglas-Todd, and even Drabble, before he turned "anti" ! I remember Plummer coming up here to buy Miniture Jack Russels and Game birds...after 10 minutes of his patter, he was laughed out of the bar !! Nothing wrong with reading books, as long as you realise they are just the authors opinions ! I've read a couple of Darcy's books and enjoyed them. I sent one to a pal in Aussie who took me hunting, and I think he enjoyed it too.

    I think the first thing is to know the parents. I wouldn't buy a pup from someone who couldn't guarantee what the breeding was. Cheers.

    We all know that there are quiet a few dogs out there that are breeding unknown and do very well indeed, so like most things, nothing is set in stone. All you can ever do is try and stack the odds, be that by work history or blood stock history/pedigree.......call it what you will. I agree, Wilf ! I was just playing the Devils Advocate ! I find it amusing when certain people don't practice what they preach, though ! LOL ! Cheers.

    As much as I enjoy chatting to you, Whin, this is my last word on this post, HOW CAN YOU PONTIFICATE ABOUT PURITY OF BREEDING WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN BE SURE OF THE SIRE TO YOUR OWN PUPS ?? Cheers.

    You still put two different dogs across your bitch. The lad who had the other dog wasn't to happy as he wasn't privvy to your breeding "plan" ! How can you plan and keep a line if you don't know which dog was the sire ????? I wouldn't go on to much about when Bruce was at yours....you know he got injured during the day, and you and Dany went lamping with your dogs only, and it wasn't a very productive night, was it ? Cheers.

    Whin, I find it hard to take you seriously about breeding........ when you were the man who put two different dogs across your bitch the same day. Cheers.

    I thought coursing was banned in France ? Only hunting with Hounds is allowed. Cheers.

    I remember a "rescue dog" that did very well, and is still doing it at eight. Cheers.

    Right behind my house are a few fields and a small nature reserve. There's pleanty game there; woodcock, partridge, pheasant, rabbit, fox, badger, roe.... but no hares. There hasn't been hares for about 35-40 years, since the new motorway cut it off from the rest of the land......UNTIL YESTERDAY ! I walk across these fields about four times a day to go to my allotment. Yesterday, I went over, fed the hens, collected the eggs, etc, and headed home. About 200 yards from home, the dogs were mooching about and suddenly..GAME ON !!! They spotted a hare that had lifted a fair way off and they were a
