Go for it Chilli, he is evil, he;s lured an impressionable youngster like me into his evil ways !!! Probablly torturing hamsters as we speak !!!!! Cheers.

Hi SS, no need to agree or disagree with me, I simply say what I mean. There are people on these hunting sites who have never had good dogs or good bags, it's easy to "cyber hunt" !!!
-
Hi Locke, please tell me where on this thread is the "macho bullshit" or the "my dog is better than yours" is. A guy asked a question and got sensible answers, whats wrong with that ?? If you don't believe the bags that some of us used to get; fine. I personally have nothing to prove, been a dog lad for 40 years and hunted in places most people haven't even heard of, still hunting now. If you have nothing constructive to say, say nowt. Cheers.

Why would you want to catch 70 in one night?? 'Cause we were getting £1 apeice for them in the 70's, not that we ever caught 70 in one night, but 40-50 was regular bags. Cheers.
-
good haul you got there, where abouts in stirling was that ? if you dont mind me askin That was the 70's , mate, do you really want me to tell ??????? Cheers.
-
Really couldn't care less, allthough Gin, who bred my pup, preferes brindles. I like brindles as they seem to say "lurcher" or "running dog", but ability comes way above colour !! By the way, a piece of useless information, did you know Muhammed said all dogs were "unclean" except the saluki, unless it was black and tan, then it was the devils dog !!! Cheers.

Hi Andy, I have mentioned the same dog on "smoochers" in the past; My mate and I were visiting my wife who was in the "Princess Mary" hospital, having our daughter, 1977, opposite the Newcastle town moor. The "Hoppings" were on, (June), and in them days loads of pikeys followed the fair around and were allowed on the moor, not any more!! Any way, we decided to see if they had any dogs for sale, they offered us this "stag cross" for £25 , we bid £20 and got it. Turned out to be a cracker!! It broke two front toes during it's working life, and had them "pin fired" and came back just as good, (

This dog would take 150 + rabbits over a 3 night weekend in Stirling, during the 70's. A decent dog, but there are probably better dogs around who simply do not see the numbers we did then. Cheers.

Before this thread develops into two camps, lets just say I doubt very much if any one on this site keeps their dog on a lead all summer or hunts their dog hard all summer !!! My point is there is no problem running a rabbit or two early morning, if you consider the going to hard, use your common sense and don't do it. My 12 m.o. lurcher will burst into full gallop and strike at crisp bags, pop cans, etc, when out for a walk, absolutly no difference to the short runs she has on rabbits. I was walking only 50 yds from my house this morning and my Doberman put up a roe in a place it had no right

Exactly MATTI, I'm lucky enough to live in a place where I can excersise and work the dogs at the same time. Yesterday my pup chased a fox thru' a quarry, I was thinking "hurt feet", but she came back without a mark, we own Lurchers not Poodles. Cheers.
-
I worry about the way people on this site slag others about running their dog's during the summer. My dogs are out every day at first light, summer or winter. At the moment they are working the oil seed and wheat and chasing whatever they can see in the cut hay feilds. We are home before it get's to hot and I don't worry to much how hard the ground is, if you know when it's too hard you won't run your dog's anyway !!! Do you guy's keep your dog's on the lead all summer? Or do you use common sense ? A guy from this site 'phoned me about a mornings mooch; my only caveat was; let's go before it g

I think I read the same article in a right wing blog, basically saying how can the Blairs £3.5 million house in London stand empty, (they couldn't find anybody who could afford the rent they were asking ). This was just rhetoric. I don't think this law will ever be passed as it came out of the Office of the Deputy, (dawg), Prime Minister, and he is so discreditted now, any thing associated with him will be ridiculed. Cheers.
-
If you own a t.v.set, you dont HAVE to have Sky, but you do HAVE to pay the tax, (lisence fee), for BBC, now that is GOVERNMENT theft. Cheers. Cragman, your'e missing the point. I sympathise with people in rural areas and young prople starting on the property ladder, but this proposed law affects everyone. My parents, in their 80s have lived in their house all their lives, it was a council house that they saved to buy and it would be the only thing they could leave to their family. But if we don't sell it within 6 months of their deaths the council can just put assylun seekers in it !!!
-
A little over simplefied, Molly; if I was to go abroad again, I could leave my house empty for as long as I liked, but if my aged parents were to die, and their heirs didn't sell or rent or otherwise occupy their house within six months, the council could put in homeless people, including assylum seekers. Theoretically you could remove them once a sale had been agreed, but what state would the house likely be in ? And remember that "possesion is 9/10s of the law" nonsense. Most lawers are allready forcasting court cases as to the legallity of this proposed new law. Only under Labour could anyt

Pat Blewitt from this site has a genuine 1st x bed/grey, Flynn, from Heartbreak Fell kennels. A top class all rounder. I have a pup sired by Flynn, out of Gins Maegan , a deer/grey x whippet/grey, she's just turned 12 month and is everything I could have asked for. If you are looking for a stud dog, you couldn't go far wrong with Flynn. Cheers.

Is it from the same litter he had in a trailer at the Hayden Hunt show last sunday ? How much ? Cheers.

Being, (I assume), one of the older members, I can remember when a lad going out with his dogs and ferrets was an accepted member of the community. Blokes in the pup/club looked foward to buying a rabbit, hare, pheasant, bit of venison, whatever, on a saturday or sunday 'cause they knew it was cheap and fresh. Fast forward 40 years and we now are basically pariahs. The cagoul wearing, backpack carrying anti's will. if they are brave enough, verbally abuse you, or 'phone the police or RSPCA, if they think you are up to something. I have been ferretting on permission when approachrd by one of th

Exactly my thinking , if we all throw the towel in, they have won. Cheers.
-
WHY ? Cheers.
-
This is exactly why we should be VERY careful what pics we post on these forums; not only are there members waiting to have a go, (sad, but true), there are also anti's just waiting to see pics of dogs with foxes or snared foxes, etc. If you must share your pics, p.m. or e-mail them to people you can trust. Don't give the b*****ds any amunition as they will twist the facts and truth. Cheers.
-
There was an advert in the CMW a while back, for Ridgeback/Greyhounds. They said it was a repeat mating and the previous litter were taking all game. Anyone on here got one from either of these litters, or seen one work ? Cheers.
-
I think you are totally missing the point, the view Stabs & i were trying to get across is the pic/dogs are not impressive in that situation especially if you have seen plenty of smaller or less dogs in Australia & NZ cope just as well holding to enable someone to get in flip & stick the boar I didn't mention IMPRESSIVE, I said it was not UNUSUAL; having 3 or more dogs holding a pig is a bit like the Americans using 3 dogs to course a jack rabbit, not IMPRESSIVE, but not UNUSUAL, I neither condone nor condem the practice, (with pigs), simply stating facts. Cheers.
-
Hi Stabs, I don't see anything unusual in those photo's as far as pig hunting is concerned. In N.Z. I've seen anything from 1 to 6 dogs being used. A mate of mine is a proffesional hunter and uses 4 dogs, a mixture of bailers and holders. As long as the pig is dispached as soon as possible and the dogs haven't taken to much stick, I don't see a problem. Cheers. P.S. When are you off down under ? I may be in Melbourne at the end of the year.

Depends what "type" of whippet you get; This one, Blue Prince, (Blue Boy X Zarwood), was a 21" 36lb race bred whippet. Back in the 60's he took rabbit, hare, roe, and won many handicaps and was runner up in the "British Open". A real allrounder. Cheers.
