  1. I thought it was going to go "straight down the card", but was told by others that this was not the case. I haven't a clue as to how the next round will be drawn, and don't really care; as in any competition, you have to beat anyone you are drawn against to win !!Cheers.
  2. Three of the competitors have travelled up from Wiltshire, a 6+ hours train journey !! They are returning tomorrow, (sunday), as they have work on monday. So we have tro try our hardest to accomadate them. I've had dogs long enough to know when not to risk them, and even if this was the final, I wouldn't run my dog if I thought there was unneccasary risk. Cheers.
  3. I hope you can run the heat tonight CP but it's much the same out West mate,baltic conditions last night and on being out earlier it was still freezing hard,not looked at the forecast for tonight but it'll need to change drastically for "suitable" running conditions.All the best if you "get the green light" and go-ahead.Cheers Andy. Just checked the BBC weather site, and it -3 and fog for tonight !!! We'll have a look round, maybe find some sheltered areas, but not expecting many rabbits to be about !! Cheers.
  4. It's not looking to promising for my heat tonight ! I've been out this morning in the same area and the ground is like concrete !!! Heavy frost and a forecast for fog !!! Well done lads for trying to make a night of it, but if it isn't fun, it's not worth doing it !! Hope you're feeling a bit better this morning, Col; I've been ringing you, but no answer. Cheers.
  5. You say "Deerhound / Greyhound" pup.... then say "Deer/Grey- Beddy/Grey".. do you know EXACTLY how this pup is bred ??? Cheers.
  6. Well done lads, hope you carried all the rabbits, Cols ribs are a bit sore !! See you all over the weekend !! Cheers.
  7. WAS A DECENT THREAD...... BUT THE LOONIES ARE JOINING IN NOW !! SO, GOOD NIGHT !
  8. most sensible thing written on here in ages........ the next battle is stopping people thinking their crap dogs are good and breeding from them. There are far to many people breeding from dogs that have done nowt and bitches that are far to young !! My own bitch is 3 1/2 year old and has taken everything, will I breed from her...... yes if she has another three seasons of work equivelant to what she has allready done, and I can find a stud who is better than her at what she does, and MAYBE, then she will be bred from ! Cheers.
  9. Wilf, this is not a critique', but how many dogs have you went through, until you have got the dog that is "up to scratch" ? Is a dog that may not be the "ideal"; not good enough to be given a permenant home ?? I am a person who has spent a lifetime looking for the "DOG", but am sensible enough to realise it ain't gonna happen !!! Cheers. Its a sensable post........to be honest, I have not gone through many (1 or 2).........but I belive that there are certain things you want your dog to do, there is one main criteria........it may do lots of other stuff well, or to a standard but it ma

  12. Allright mate !! Hope the bull x is coming on well for you. Last time I saw you both, it was just starting, hope everything is progressing !! Cheers.
  13. Unfourtunately, there is to many kids in the game now, who want a "top dog" at 6 month old !! They get pups, don't have a clue how to feed, train or house them; run them on hares, foxes, etc., at an early age, and when they don't do the "bizz", they are sold as "no fault of their own" !! Of course it is "No Fault Of Their Own" !! It's the fault of the owner !! Loads of well bred dogs spoilt !! To many people breeding "well bred lurchers", and to many "wannabee's" buying them !! Get a dog as a pup, rear it well, enter it when it's ready, and have a good dog for many years !! Cheers.
  14. Stangely enough, I have been talking to a guy I have just met, on the same subject ! He has been offered £2000 for his dog but said "no way" !! In my youth, dogs were just tools, buy, sell, swap, get rid if not good enough !! But now, as I have learned with age, a dog is for life !! cHEERS.
  15. If you mean Colin; I've just dropped World Hunter off at his house, and they're off out lamping !! It'll take more than a couple of broken ribs to stop Col doing what he enjoys !! LOL !! Cheers. Fair play to you CP............ hope they have a good night and make a good comp of it. This isn't part of the comp, it's just Woodga giving a lad a night out on the lamp and a bed for a couple of days while he runs his heat on friday. This comp is more about meeting people , having a good time and the craic, than winners and losers. Would have been out with them myself, but I would h

  18. Whin, when you say "grew", do you mean in the accepted sense, i.e whippet x greyhound, or are you using the term as a shortened form of "greyhound" ? Cheers.
  19. no he aint. not a bad trophy hunter either Very nice dog; good to see a dog working AND winning shows !!!! I won one of those chamber pots aswell !! LOL !! Not my dog, I was just showing it for a mate ! Cheers.
  20. alright soft lad ive seen the perents of my bitch work had 17 buns and retrieved a charlie that dont qualify me to judge every whippet in general theres good and bad in every breed thought you would like to no that as for people saying they have no stamina why do you think somebody down the line has put bull in them dont like to bitch on the net so dont expect me to bite on your next comment coz i cant be arsed waisting energy typing on you or any other muppet on here tara softlad Another "expert" who's only seen other peoples dogs run, never ran one of his own !! I've probably had dog
  21. You don't feel you have the right to pass comment............ yet you think the rest of us are talking shite ???? Contradiction in terms, methinks !!!! Cheers.
  22. I honestly don't understand how people can say "your dog/this breed will be no good for this type of land", etc. !! In the last few weeks I've ran all types of quarry at Lincs, Notts, North and South Yourkshire and Northumberland; very different types of land, and my dog has just got on with her job !!! Cheers.
  23. Mack, as you know, I've done a bit, (and still do!!!), around Northumberland, and before I got the wander lust, it was the ONLY place I worked my dogs, which at the time were predominately Whippets; if they could handle this ground, they could handle owt !!! LOL !!! Cheers.
  24. A Whippet from 40 years ago; And a Whippet 3 weeks ago, (Mally's); I've never found any problems with working Whippets !! Cheers.
  25. Don't get me wrong FF; I love Salukis and have owned pure desert bred and crosses and would have one again, but intelligent, they're not !! LOL !! Cheers.
