I'm in Australia on family business, and contacted some of the hunting lads down here for a few days hunting. The lads off "OzzieDoggers" did me proud and took me out on saturday and are arranging some more trips out. Four of us went out with five Lurchers and a Terrier and chased a few critters, more of an informal walk about to see the land and see the dogs work. I'm hoping to get out on a full blown hunt up country next, with hounds flushing to the Lurchers and also a bit of hare coursing ! Big thanks to Boodog, Moses and Frankie, great guys with top class dogs !! Cheers.

Well, if you can get insurance for less than £10 a month, with no excess, that's great ! And for any one who is talking about working dogs... I've never had one company ask, either on line or on the phone, if the dog is a worker.... as I said erlier, the only restrictions I've found is "Racing Dogs". But I will say... insurance is a must if you work your dog, espesialy lamping ! Vet bills are outrageous now, so it's a choice between having your dog "fixed" or PTS !! Cheers.
-
No excess is exellent... Tesco have £60 excess. Are you SURE ther is no excess ?? There usualy is ! Cheers.

Around £10 a month with Tesco. No restrictions apart from racing. I told them my dogs were working Lurchers, they said it didn't matter as long as they wern't taking part in organised racing ! Cheers.

Class pups mate, and reared well ! Wish I had of had room for one ! Cheers.

Aren't they the ones that have serious problems with their brains pressing against their skulls, causing fits ? They were one of the breeds that caused such a fuss and many big sponsors boycotting Crufts. Probably best not breeding them 'till the problems are sorted. Cheers.

My brother went down to Norfolk and bought a cracking looking rough coated, blue, "Norfolk Lurcher". It was a handy dog, and when it died he replaced it with an exact replica from Durham..... Doe's this make his new dog a "Durham Lurcher " ??? LOL !! Cheers.

If you know shit all about foxing; how do you know how tough some foxes are ? Cheers.

You can use TWO DOGS to flush to gun, but it's a very grey area in law.... HUNTING foxes with dogs is ilegal Cheers. maybe so, but its better to be a grey area than in black an white, stating its not allowed HUNTING with dogs is ILEGAL...FLUSHING with dogs to gun is LEGAL... Big difference between the two. Cheers. hang a dang mate, surely the only person that knows if they are flushing/hunting, is the person doing the said task so if im out hunting, but say im flushing to the gun, but cant get a safe shot when said quarry bolts, an dog catches by

Nope; the only mammals you can hunt with dogs, according to The Hunting Act, 2004, are rabbits and rats, and even then there are certain restrictions Cheers. ok mate just as i thought only he seemed as sure it was legal and i said you got it wrong but he insisted it was me who was wrong mate he was wearing jumper with the derwent hunt on LOL !!! t5he Brae's o' Derwent probably don't think the law applies to them !! Been out with them a few times. Cheers.

So from the four dogs measured it appears that the length of back is shorter than the height ! Supprised me ! Cheers.
-
You've got me going now !! LOL !! My little Beddy x Bitch is a fraction under 23" high, and 19" from shoulder to hip and 22" from base of neck to root of tail ! Cheers.
-
Well, just nipped down the yard to the kennels and measured the Deer x bitch;She is 29" high, to the shoulder, and 26" from her shoulder bone to her hip pin, and 27" from the base of her neck to the root of her tail. Be interesting to see what others measure , hieght in respect of legnth. Cheers.
-
dont suppose ye fancy measuring her to the shoulder then the length of her back for me mate, im just real curious noo as to what size backs most big dogs have..... is it in any way related to height??? or breeds??? Of course I'll do that for you mate; but where would I measure from ? Top of her shoulder bones to her hip pins would be the most sensible to me, but what about base of the neck too root of the tail ? It's not something I had cause to measure before ! Cheers.

It's a shame the Afghan had been so screwed up by the KC, but there are still a few strains out in Central Asia that do the job they were bred for, even if they do look like a Tazi, Saluki, Afghan, Borzoi cross. Cheers.
-
A long back is supposidly desireable, as with a cheetah, because the flexibility of a long back gives longer strides. How this would help a coursing dog on the fens, I could see, but would a long stride be advantagous to a lamping rabbit dog ? I've a 1st x Deer/Grey bitch and some people say she is short coupled, others say she has a long back !! I just think she is in proportion ! Cheers.

Last year I had three dogs, but the old Doberman that's followed me around the world finaly had to be put to sleep due to ill health. The two I have now are Lima, a first cross Deer/Grey bitch, two year old, and Delta, Beddy/Grey X Deer/Grey - Whippet/Grey, six year old today !!! Cheers.
