    Delta isn't at her fittest after her injury, but there is nothing stopping me running her now. Me and LDR will run our heat at any time convinient to him, and if I'm lucky enough to win, I will run off the Northern Final at any time convinient to SingleHanded. I can run any day of the week, as I'm lucky enough to be retired, and don't have to worry about getting up for work the next day ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I'm sure the owner won't mind me showing these pics I took at Duns last year; A Borzoi x Collie; A pure Borzoi; In the U.S. they breed the Borzoi down in size using Whippets, and call them "Windhounds"; Cheers.

    Puppies will eat ANYTHING !! You have to have eyes in the back of your head ! Keep everything out of reach and give it a decent size bone to chew on. You are lucky that these foreign bodies appear to be passing thru'; If something gets stuck in there, you are looking at a big vet bill at best, the death of the pup at worst !! Cheers.

    How is a dog "harder" than a bitch ???? I've had dogs and bitches, over many years, and seen no evidence of that. Cheers.

    Why "no Greyhound X" ?? A Beddy/Grey would seem ideal for what you want. Cheers.

    I can't see a farmer being happy about rabbits being released on his land ! After all; farmers have a legal obligation to control the rabbit population ! Cheers.

    Oh come on, there is no need for the attitude, it is not causing her any pain so i am not going to pay £100 call out charge for the vet to look at it, i have never seen an injury like this before so was simply asking advice from people that probably HAVE seen injuries like this..............I worried it may open up further, if it does i will take her to the vet in the morning. So many people on here know what products to use, i was only asking for some advise I wasn't giving "attitude"; and a dog of mine has had a very similar injury recently, and I knew what to do; you obviously don

    If you are worried about it; don't come on to internet sites asking for advice..... GET IT TO A VET !! Cheers.

    I would have thought Hawks need as much looking after and working as a Lurcher ? Cheers.

    Well, I know I'll get shit off the Collie guy's, but the worst dog I've ever had was a Collie/Greyhound !! It could jump like a stag, was biddable, caught a rabbit or two, but never made the grade as a lamper, and was far to slow to get near a hare ! O.K., I might have got a wrong 'un, but it put me off Collie X's for life !! Cheers.

    Probably not the best cross for that specific job, but I've just added one to my team, to do other jobs as well as lamped rabbits. Cheers.

    i dont meen to be stupid but what is cow hocked Cow Hocked is where a dogs "rear elbows", the hocks, turn inwards towards each other and the rear feet turn outward. The oposite is Bow Hocked, where the rear legs are bowed. Both are major faults in the show ring, but unless greatly exagerated have little or no effect on a dogs running. Cheers.

    One of the best Lurchers I've ever seen is "cow hocked"; he'd never win a show, but, by, can he do the job !!! Your pup is very young, give it time, it will probably even up. Cheers.

    I've never seen a true "runt" turn out bigger than the rest of a litter; are you not getting confused with the "smallest" in a litter ? Cheers.

    Its proving it tho chartpolski, no doubt if it came to that the farmer would tell the law cochyn's dog was worrying his bullocks, leaving cochyn to prove otherwise, just be a waste of time and for both i reckon, theres acres and acres upon acres to go at, i reckon he should head for them instead. The guy that shot my dog will never shoot another dog....or anything else, for that matter ! Cheers.

    Now, I'm a guy who often "walks on the other side of the fence", so to speak ! And have had a dog shot dead by an over zealous keeper; but we ALLWAYS only hear one side of these stories !! If you were threatened by someone with a firearm when you were on public land, going about your business, simply dial 999 and I can assure you, the guy will NEVER threaten anyone again !! He'll loose his F.A.C, S.G.C., and probably his livelyhood..... IF you were in the right ! Cheers.

    In the semi, Taylor sickened Van Barneveld, who is the only player in the world who can get near him !! Whatever his price is at the bookies for the World Championshp, it's worth a punt !! Cheers.

    Just watched the final of the "Grand Slam Of Darts"; and Taylor destroyed the other bloke 16-2, and finished with a 10 darter !! I had a drink with Taylor in '89 in Sweden, when Bristow was his sposor; I saw that he was good, but never imagined he would be the best darts player ever !! Cheers.

    Delta is as game as a banty cock, as we say up here ! LOL ! Heres a pic I just took of her and my new pup, Lima, (the dark brindle), a 1st cross Deer/Grey; 17 weeks old; she's gonna be a big'un !! Cheers.

    My bitch ; Sire; Bedlington/Greyhound. Dam; Deerhound/Greyhound X Whippet/Greyhound. Four year old, 23", 40lb. Cheers.

    Max, Delta's injury has healed up well, and I had her to the local whippet track today for a run; she did a very decent time, and there was no reaction to her injury, so I gave her another run, and she bettered her 1st time. Of course this means nothing when compared with three hours running the lamp, but I think she will be O.K. to run her heat with Bruce. LDR and myself will make a date to run, and it shouldn't interfere with the projected finish of the competition. Cheers.
  24. chartpolski
    Well, as a lot of people know, LDR is my pal; I've hunted with him and had some great days, nights and laughs ! I had Bruce in my kennels most of the summer, and I KNOW he is a top class dog ! But maybe, just maybe, it will be the first time in Deltas life she will beat him !! LOL !! Whatever happens, it will be another great night between the two dogs, and we will probably be out again within the same week !! Young bloke with old dog...... or old bloke with young dog; who knows what the gods have in store !! LOL !! Cheers.
  25. chartpolski
    What do you mean "outside in the elements" ???? Any kennel should be waterproof, draught free and damp free ! As for the origional question; I have three dogs, one inside the house and two in kennels, and in my opinion it makes no difference to working ability. Cheers.
