  1. Cp that is a magnificent looking hound. She's a great bitch to own mate; no bother in the kennel, full of fun, at 17 month she is still a pup ! They say "longdogs" are hard to train, but she is OK. I don't expect "sit", "stay", Etc, from my dogs.... Only recall !! Thats probably only what I want from them, (retreive does help !!), I think she'll do the job ! Cheers.
  2. Keeps, you've actualy ran Deer X's, on most stuff, so what do you think of them ? Cheers.
  3. My idea was; get the very best 1st cross I could, give it the best upbringing I could; give it the best entering I could, and hope for the best !! Everything seems to be going to plan, only time will tell ! Cheers.
  4. I've had Deerhound blooded dogs before; had a beautiful 1/4 Deer 3/4 Grey, but it succumbed to parvo many years ago, before we fully understood the "cat 'flu" !! My little bitch Delta, is 1/8th Deer, not much, I know, but you can see it in her ! I have seen a good few Deer X's work, and they always impressed. I have high hopes for Lima; she hasn't been rushed, and is starting to do what I wanted, and expected, of her. Only time will tell ! Cheers.
  5. Asha, I think Davey was talking about my post, as I have the litter sister to his pup. I almost took his pup, as it looked so good, but I wanted a bitch ! Cheers.
  6. There is some right crap written about F1 Deer/Greys ! Not fast enought ? This pups dams half brother won the Greyhound Derby, TWICE ! She is the fastest lurcher I've had ! She's 29" and turns almost as fast as my 23" bitch ! She's had pleanty of rabbits, and jumps, hunts and lamps ! She is doing EVERYTHING I expect of her at 17 month. She won't be used for ferreting LOL !!but that isn't what she was brought in for !!!! Cheers.
  7. This question was asked before on a site, and I answered using Daley Thompson as an analogy. He was the greatest all round athlete in history, (my oppinion)! He could do every discipline of the decathlon VERY well, but he could not live with the specialist runners, jumpers and throwers ! So in my mind, an "allrounder" dog, should be able to do most things well, but won't be as good as a specialed coursing dog, or a foxing dog or a deer dog; it should be able to work with ferrets, lamp,etc., and be a generaly good all round moocher, a dog that can be used in almost all situations, and may not b
  8. No sutch thing as "best cross" !!! It depends on what you want the dog for, what type of work, what type of quarry, how it's bred, who bred it, how was it weaned, how was it brought up as a pup, how was it entered to it's quarry, how is kennelled and fed, how is it conditioned and looked after, etc, etc....... Cheers.
  9. longdog is two diffrent sighthounds breed together. yes ur right have long back . but where did beddy whippet come in there not even in the same planet as a sighthound or longdog at winter hare,s but i did read there best deer courser,s than any other breed if deer is penned up in a phone box i used the beddy whippet cross as an example to show the differences between the length of back i know what breeds come in to form a longdog i've kept enough of them where do you get off with your sarky comment about them doing deer in a phone box you plank if you had read my post corr
  10. This bitch is a "Longdog"; and is certainly NOT "just a racing machine or show dog" ! Cheers.
  11. Happy birthday, from Pam and I !!!! Cheers.
  12. This wee bitch is only about 1/8th Deerhound, but a good little bitch nonetheless Cheers.
  13. Lima, 1st cross, Doxhope Knights Errant x Rivington Ena; 16 month old, 29", 75lb; Cheers.
  14. OK mate, you win ! I'm being snowed in at the minute, so I don't realy care ! I've got my family and dogs to take care of, so If you or the OP want to run your dogs or not, that's up to you ! Cheers.
  15. WOW !! You recently told a guy not to be so touchy !! I never said I'd run a dog in these conditions ! I just made the observation that if we waited for a perfect night, we'ed never get out ! Cheers. so if your now saying you wouldnt run your dogs in these conditions why say at the start to go out and run his dog on loan on hard ground youve contradicted yourself there bud YES IN A TREAD WHERE SOMEONES ASKING IF THE GROUND IS TO HARD TO RUN ON,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOTHING TO DO WITH WIND OR RAIN OR ATMOSTPHERIC PRESSURE,, WE DONT ALL WAIT FOR THE PERFECT NIGHT REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK,,

YES IN A TREAD WHERE SOMEONES ASKING IF THE GROUND IS TO HARD TO RUN ON,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOTHING TO DO WITH WIND OR RAIN OR ATMOSTPHERIC PRESSURE,, WE DONT ALL WAIT FOR THE PERFECT NIGHT REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK,, I AND MANY OTHERS WILL LAMP WHATEVER THE CONDITIONS UP TO A POINT AND THAT POINT BEING HARDFROSTED GROUND. ITS PRETTY SIMPLE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,, ANYONE WITH HALF A B
  17. WOW !! You recently told a guy not to be so touchy !! I never said I'd run a dog in these conditions ! I just made the observation that if we waited for a perfect night, we'ed never get out ! Cheers. YEP JUST SHOWS I CAN BE AS TOUCHY AS ANY ONE but for you to imply im JUMPING ON A BANDWAGON cos i dont agree with you ,,,, well thats just pathetic . But I can't remember telling anyone in this thread to "get f****d"....... Cheers.
  18. OK, Turnerboi, the general opinion seems to be that you don't run your dog until the conditions are perfect ! Sorry if my reply seems to have hijacked your thread somewhat. Best of luck with the dog ! Cheers.

  20. Another no brained reply,,, agreed , no wind , full moon is one thing,, all your doing is making the job harder,,,, but frozen hard ground is just stupid ,, Tomo; don't jump on the bandwagon, mate ! My point was to many people make excuses NOT to go out ! Of course if the conditions are to bad you don't go ! But we've ALL went out in less than perfect conditions. Cheers.
  21. SH, yeah, all's well, couldn't be better in fact ! I know when to run my dogs, their injury record will probably back that up. As I said to the other guy...If you wait for the perfect nigt, you'll never run your dog ! You obviously have a problem with me over the lamping comp, but I thought that was sorted ? Never mind, there's more important things in my life ! Cheers.
  22. I would agree,, apart from the frost,, a light frost on surface grass fair enough but when its a deeep frost with solid ground beneeth the surface then it aint worth it. Just smash there feet up. I'm not saying run a dog in dangerous conditions, but I go out on full moon, windless nights ! Of course you don't get the bags, but at least you're out ! And the dogs are getting a run, rather than lying in their kennels ! To many people make excuses NOT to go out ! Cheers. Backpeddler of the month award goes to you lol,,,, the grounds too hard end of,, so noones making exc
  23. Firstly; I would NEVER lend a dog to anyone ! Secondly; if I was stupid enough to lend a dog to some one; I would have to accept the consequences ! Cheers.
