In the Horn of Africa region, pregnant women eat soil as a vitamin/mineral supplement. I may be mistaken, but isn't "Fullers Earth" the old health drink, a reffined soil? Cheers.

Try P.M.ing Pat Blewitt on smoochers, I'm sure his excellent dog Flynn is that breeding. Cheers.

Should never pull them off, leaves the head still embedded. Any decent pet shop sells tick powder. Cheers.

There was wild boar in Chopwell woods, Tyne and wear. Confirmed by DEFRA, who sent a marksman who killed one. They were escapees from a local game farm. This is in the Braes of Derwent area but I can,t remember hearing of them ever being hunted. Check out DEFRA's web sight. More wild boar in U.K. than most people realise. Cheers.

Happy new year everyone!! My resolution was to not get involved in controversy on hunting site forums, but I'm allready going to break it! Every bed/ whippett 1st cross I have seen has been far to small to be much good at owt bar bushing and no better than a terrier or spaniel. I must admit I've never seen a 22" 1st cross, so there may be some good un's out there. A bed/ grey or bed/whippet x grey, in my opinion is a far better option. I must stress this is only my opinion, my own pup has bed/grey/deer/whippett in her so I have nothing against Bed Xs. Cheers.

Anyone know where the Tynedale is meeting on boxing day? Cheers.

By far the most common breed in my two local rescues are staffs and staff crosses. Far to many people get them as accessories and soon get sick of them. Cheers.

Hi Blackbob, your post was about "lurchers" Vs "bull x s' " (?) , my point is, get the "dog" you think will be suitable for the work you expect. Train it to the best of your ability and hope for the best, don't try to start a " my type is better than your type" argument, it's gone on ad nauseum many times before and gets nowhere. Cheers.

What a load of shite!!! I'm sorry that I had to reply to this wind up, I hope nobody else do'se!! Everyone has their own type of Lurcher, and yes, a bull X is a lurcher!! Cheers. and by the way, who's dogs can be "gauranteed"?

Over the years I've had dogs and bitches, at the moment I have two bitches, one spayed before I got her and the other just a pup. the only difference is obviously you can't work the bitches during their season, apart from that I have never seen any difference in trainabillity or workabillity between dogs and bitches. Cheers.

There was pups by January Jack out of a ridgeback/greyhound advertised in Countrymans a few weeks ago. Not my type, but I would also be interested to learn more about him. Cheers.

Stabs, how the hell do I post a photo on this thread? Cheers.

Hey Dave, if there's any ferretting going give me a bell, any time, as long as I can bring Delta along, the "lang legged black and tan terrier" A.K.A. Tango, also is o.k. ferretting. Cheers.

When out with my dogs around the local fields people I bump into, walking their dogs, ramblers, whatever, will often ask "seen owt, caught owt", when I tell them you have to be careful now with the hunting ban, 99% are supprised and thought the ban was only on fox hunts. Ironic isn't it that the hunts are doing exactly the same as usual While lurcher / terrier lads are being targetted. Cheers.

How many of the lurcher, terrier and hunting lads actually went out and voted against Blair? I convinced my whole family to vote against labour after a lifetime of voting for them. Our M.P.s majority was slashed but the b*****d still got in because too many people in the north east still think labour is for the working man. I was at the last Waterloo Cup for all 3 days, went hunting with the North Tyne on the 19th and have been to every pro hunting demonstration Icould, but this won't change the law, only getting labour out will. Cheers.

I told my brother, who has had working terriers most of his life, that I had seen dogs reffered to as "Capheaton terriers" at a couple of shows, being a man of few words, his reply was "more shite". By the way, I had a terrier about 25 years ago that was identical to these, the breeder told me it was a fell terrier. Cheers.

I'd love to see a fresh fighting bull up against a matador, rather than one that has been weakened by the barbs in it's back to bleed it and the spearing by the piccadors, might be a bit fairer fight, but what do you expect from people who throw goats from church towers and load donkeys backs until they collapse, in religious ceromonies? Cheers.

My pup is 12 weeks now and as per the vets advice after her shots, Ive just started lead training. She pulled back for about 5 yards then realised me and the other dog were not stopping and with encouraging words from me she started walking along side us. Be patient and whatever you do, don't shout or get angry. She's now walking on the lead great, but I give her as much time as she needs to take in all the new sights, sounds and smells. Good luck.

What's the hardest quarry you have hunted?..
chartpolski replied to Kye's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Toughest things to catch 'round here are daytime rabbits, buggers sit about 2' out and lift when they hear you closing the front door!! Cheers. -
Thanks to help from Stabs I'm a new member. I've a new pup, out of Gins Maegan, deerhound/greyhound-whippet/greyhound, by Pat Blewitts Flynn, bedlington/greyhound, now 3 months,will post pics when I figure out how to. Look forward to getting involved. Cheers.
