	Little bit late now, mate. Ther'e usualy taken of at one or two days old; now it would be a vets operation and cost you a fair bit ! I've got dogs that have them and dogs that haven't. I prefer them off, but if they aren't, don't worry to much about it ! Cheers.

				the pup in her STRONG STUFF harness
chartpolski replied to JPTfellterrier's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I'm sure the dog isn't run on quarry wearing a harness. The poster allready said it was for when exercising along side a bike. Cheers. I used to be told by some one that harness made dogs broad chested cow hocked,He was a old en but he knew his stuff.When ever i see a pet dog wearing one i always look,and often they are. Then I'd better get harnesses for my pencil necked, pigeon chested curs then !! LOL !! What a load of crap !! Cheers. -

	Matching is a load of ++++++ ,as there are far to many variables .Dog A could be as fast as fook .Dog B could be as nimble as fook .Now lets take this scenerio Dog A+B are both running legitimate quarry Dog A runs like fook and turns the quarry into the path of dog B,who catches the quarry .We could have the second scenerio,Dog B runs the quarry ragged into the jaws of Dog A .Now who is the winner of this so called matching??.Many scinetific field reports ,claim that two dogs running on the same quarry hold up to 20%of their ability back,for fear of a collision .Now unless your matchin

				New International Lurcher Events
chartpolski replied to AlbertJ's topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
I went over to Birr last year, (I judged the Whippet Show), from Newcastle, (a fair owld trip !), and had the best four days at a Lurcher Show/Game Fair that I've ever had ! Over twenty of us stayed in Ballycommon and had the time of our lives !! I fished in the Grand Canal, and was taken out by a local land owner and a farmer to see a few hares ! We had three tremendous nights in the local pub and made freinds with a lot of local lads and lasses ! The Lurcher show itself wasn't the bast I've been to, as far as entries, but it was an experience to see the Game Fowl, Strong Dogs, Lurchers, Terr - 
	
	
				running weight, just weighed my 15 month old pup
chartpolski replied to lamping lurchers's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I can't believe the dog in the second pic is 24lb heavier than the dog in the first pic ! Did you use the same scales to wheigh him both times ? To put 24lb on a dog in three weeks, (8lb a week !!, seems incredible, what are you feeding it ? All that extra wheight will be fat not muscle, so you will have to turn some of the wheight from fat to muscle before you see any appreciable gain in performance. Good luck with him Cheers. - 
	I was at Wansbeck. (Cambois, Blyth), last sunday for the Whippet Open. It's still going strong for the Greyhounds, trialing every day, and racing a couple of times a week. Cheers. (Cambois, Blyth), along with all the other flapping tracks,should be shut down,causes no end of grief for us officers,due the local half-wit trying to win some beer money.Not so long ago some fooker from wansbeck poured petrol onto a greyhound and set fire to it.Was the worst thing that was posted to our wildlife division. So you want to close ALL flapping tracks because of ONE "half wit" ? Would yo

	Didn't it come with a 12 month guarantee ? Mine did. Cheers.

	I'm not disputing that these dogs could do it... but why wern't they matched with the top dogs if they were so good ? Cheers.

	I was over in San Antonio, TX,a few years back and was hoping to meet your old mate Dutch, but he had moved on to NM by then, he seemed like a top bloke with the Stags and Salukis ! Cheers.

	Whin, get yourself down there, a man could hunt, shoot, fish...to his hearts content, and if you get the right lads, there is no legal problems ! Cheers.

	The Deerhound/Greyhound X has ALLWAYS caught the Judges eye at Lurcher Shows; but there does seem to be a bit of a revival in working them going on ! I've got a 1st x bitch, 18 month old and is doing everything expected of her ; Cheers.
 - 
	Whin, I've been down Oz, and NZ, plenty times, and hunted with some top lads.... but asking them if their dogs take ilegal quarry is a bit daft. Cheers,

	The guy's have told you it's ILEGAL all over Australia !! Why would they want to compromise themselves on here ??? Cheers.
 - 
	If the parents were "Non-Ped" Whippets, the pups could have varied wildly in wheight ! I see some litter mates every week and they vary from 18lb to over 50lb !! Cheers.

	How about being a "donator" and putting them up in the "for sale" forum ? Cheers.
 - 
	Whin; can't you get a mate or someone to write your posts !!! They probably mean something.... if only we could decipher them ! Cheers.
 - 
	I take it you mean "bore" shoots !! As I wouldn't be wanting to take a beddy/whippet on a "BOAR" shoot ! LOL ! Cheers.
 - 
	Then we will be seeing it on the TV News and in the Newspapers ? Cheers.

	I hope the other bloke IS on here; be interesting to hear HIS side of the story. Cheers.

	The lad in the pic, Terry, I remember taking him and his brother to race Robbo, (Bilko x Frozen Kill), against a greyhound, in an old Viva van back in the early '70s ! It was at Stanley Greyhound track , level break over 270 yards; Robbo led to the 1st bend, then the Greyhound took over and won easy ! That's when I realised that the old saying "a bad Greyhound will allways beat a good Whippet" was true !! LOL !! Great days.....I'm having flashbacks !! Cheers.

	Allright mate; you obviously tried to post a pic of your and your mates dogs, but it didn't happen ! Don't worry about being ribbed on here, it happens to everyone, and bears no relation to real life !! Cheers.

	Was it snowing heavily ?? Cheers.

				Bedlington/greyhound & bed/whip first cross pics
chartpolski replied to wuyang's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Here's Flynn, (sire to my bitch Delta). He's a 1st cross Beddy/Grey from Heartbreak Fell Kennels. I'm sure his owner, Pat, Won't mind me showing him, as I think he's a top class dog, who has thrown top class pups !! Cheers.
