Injury prone if there not brought up running stuff from an early age is what ive found too ive had a couple of em good lampers though but fade at around the twenty mark plenty enough for any man id say unless your into big numbers also thin skinned which i dont care for as they have no protection and soon get sore with regular work much better crossed but capable dogs never the less. im running a whippet grew based collie cross suits me for where i hunt on fast grass and hillsides fast but sensible with it still thin skinned though .

If there eating a lot of grass have a look at what sort they are going for if its fresh soft shoots then some enjoy grazing as it were but if its tough couch type the could be doing it to get bile off their stomach which builds up when resting after work i get some mashed potato down mine once a week keeps the bile off their guts and they dont seem to bother eating grass much. Be carefull letting them eat grass mate you never know whats been sprayed on it these days.

We ate most songbirds but starlings as ditch rightly says are garbage eaters just look how greasy there feathers are :sick: -

DEAD RIGHT Pleased for you Angie nothing worse than losing one of your own well done and i bet hes happy to be home as well :clapper:

I think youd better read his articles again mate the name dont mean they chuck themselves at stuff what i call a shit or bust dog but that they have a smaller leg so stay in contact more with the ground well that his theory anyroad. And he stresses you can get a lurcher or a tumbler in the same litter confused i was too. Im not into genetics as its not worth it in dogs what you get down on paper dont neccessarily come out in the pups but short legs are a dominant gene so once the strain gets a short leg it should keep it but with jeffs dogs being so many crosses which i dont mind in a jukel

Aye i see where your coming from and now know who bred eve and co and your right theres some good coursing stuff in these as well probably related. Go on Lurchers.org but be prepared for a long read jeff goes on about the short legged version me myself i like a dog with shorter legs just as a preference he says its a type.

Very nice Sniper Jeffs dogs get some stick on here but look at that bitch And i reckon hes not wrong with his short leg [tumbler]theory but not for the same reasoning i reckon there better as they run lower to the deck get that combined with some abillity

Yep Border. By the looks of your stock SJM youll not go wrong like you say its sometimes a generation or more to get what you want with your own line thats the way to look at it Thats some dog mush and your mates dad looks like he knows his way round a dog The afghan cross is exactly the same type as the one i knew but his coat was dredded with living the rough life we even changed his name to rasta . I often woder if the afghan mix has been overlooked as they have a really strong preydrive and are not feared of anything was he the same hard dogs in their native land mind what isnt in a

Excellent Video lads :clapper: well done Storm loved his last rabbit no messing Them charlies hadnt seen much lamp had they.

Good dogs mush i like the afghan cross very much i lived travelling with an afghan cross years ago he was some tool fearless and plenty in the tank he fed a lot of people bless him and was cock of the campsites wherever we stayed a real toughie I dont think you will beat the bullcross scouser mate ive had a few collie bred types that took fox but they all jibbed after a while one dog took 57 in two winters he was making em look easy hardly ever got bit then one got him across the muzzle top and bottom and after that he wouldnt look at em again some threequater breds ive been out with hav

His stamina is spot on for how hes bred rew plenty for the lamp and not to bad in the daytime on the big land for a non saluki type hes still young so not pushed him to hard.Ive had him out everyday or night now for a minimum of a couple of hours hours and i like variety so hes doing some of everything and never wants to stay in. Socks mate if you think all your 3/4 breds will have stamina good luck to you. Have you ever seen a dog go catatonic i think its called dont really know for sure but when they aint got it and they fade fast theres only one way to get em home thats carry the bugger

Aye you dont want to be eating the seeds

Nice one W.H good to see hes going in the right direction

so are you saying that the smaller type 3/4 collie greys had stamina ??? or are you saying that smaller type crosses like 1/4 beddy 3/4 grey have more stamina ??? ............ Socks you can keep on and on i clearly stated what i meant and i am talking from experience i must have bred and seen over twenty litters and seen a hell of a lot of 3/4 breds over the years since then and what i said is a genuine observatiom which i put forward the lad wanted to run rabbits on fast grass something i do a lot of. A big 3/4 bred will fade fast in not many runs compared to the smaller bitches an

Some of the 3/4 bred dogs ive owned and seen cant cut it no matter what you say they burn up quick believe me when they first became in fashion there was plenty about and they just couldnt do it just about as much stamina as a greyhound o.k for about ten runs on rabbits and some of these were owned by good dog lads nurtured and entered properly. Dont get me wrong the smaller dogs and bitches sometimes had the wind but a lot werent blessed in the stamina department, Its the same with any 3/4 bred even putting a lurcher strain back to a greyhound you will lose wind and sometimes greatly so. P

So says the voice of experience some of the 3/4 bred dogs ive seen have been humongus no good at rabbits and no wind i think you will find hancock and plummer found this to be true also.

Best way to clear the house is use a fumigator smoke bomb what gardeners use in their greenhouses after youve tret the dogs washing up liquid works as a shampoo but i used to make my own using vosene,qualada and tcp. get some of them vapona insect stickers put one in every room the dogs use there not expensive make sure you worm your dogs well [fleas and worms go together] it might sound over the top but if your house is over run then they will be a pain to shift better an all out attack. Ive had dogs in the house for years and them vapona stickers are the buisness not seen a live flea on t

Been round a lot of threequater breds and if its rabbits your after you will be better off with bitches they are more leaner built than the dogs and more even in size and build a lot of the threequater bred dogs are too heavy and large to be proficient rabbiters and its the bigger heavier specimins that suffer with limited wind seen it many times.
