    Several reasons for a blown lurcher ,the most commen is ruptured or torn diaphram.This can remedy itself but needs patience .The most serious is heart strain which never goes and renders the dog useless .Overmatching ,overuse and early starting all contribute to the causes .A dog in such a way will try hard but never really attains full speed and will only be good for very short bouts of excercise .Best avoided in the first place mate .

    Ok then ,i'll start with my take on this.There are ,believe it or not plenty of types within the breeds we have now so as not to need crossing one with another .Most types have taken years in the making so why would anyone in their right mind want to f**k it up with anything other than a near match .Balancing the good and bad points within a type is a lifetimes worth of experience easily f****d up by a chance mating just because the parents are workers .This fact is not enough in my eyes but seems to be enough for many these days .If you are saying why not put a good type over another good typ

    My first thoughts were the same as JR Yipp but didnt want to start the argueing.Maybe you are unconsiously converting the depth into feet and inches ,i know i do whatever the box used but whatever ,a good couple of outings there mate .

    Your piece of paper now entitles you to buy a lease from the forestry commission and 'manage' a beat somewhere .Whilst i have no problem with anyone furthering themselves ,i do have a gripe with the money men involved with this exam and the bigotry that goes with it in some circles .I have written on here before about it so dont intend to elaborate but i do hope you will spend time with an EXPERIENCED chap before thinking you are anything more than a novice .Paper ,although needed in this day and age in some places, will never replace time served .Not a personal attack mate and hope you enjo

    When i worked on the phone towers we had many clamps as parking was hard to come by in main streets .Our boss always said cut them off with the disc cutter as our time was worth morethan any fine,if it arrived .Out of 23 clamps i remember cutting off ,only 4 demands were ever recieved by the company and these were ignored and nothing ever came of it .Take no notice of thse who says its criminal damage as most clampers are operating outside the law themselves. Cut one off infront the guy who put it on despite him phoning old bill .We were gone before they got there . Stand up against these ver

    Took my boy out on his first serious lamping trip to the chicken farm i do on a regular basis.Very still night with a bit too much light in the sky but youve got to try, hey . He carried the lithium battery and i left the lamping totally to him and to his credit he remembered all he'd been told . Just inside the gate ,a flick revealed two sets of eyes out amongst the sheds in this field and beneath a large sycamore tree.I squeaked and one responded perfectly ,coming down the lowered beam nicely to be stopped at about 60yds with a low whistle .I was on sticks and shot it through the chest wit

    Good questions Cleanspade. Those that would go outside are more than likely the purists "Working Terrier Purists". Asked a mate what did he think made the best working terrier, his answer "Border X Lakeland". I tend to concur that first cross makes for some real good working terriers as long as they are out of type purisits that have bred best worker to best worker. In other words it is all good as long as the folks arranging the breeding have thier heads in the right place. Best worker to best worker reguardless of if you are a type purist or a working terrier purist will never

    Hybrid vigour is only short term mate ,meaning it applies to the present and not the future,best to aim for traits that are bred in generation after generation .Two closely relayed types however are perfect and will set genes for the long term .I wouldnt turn down a good pup either mate but breeding it would be a different thing altogether.
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    No mate ,i would dig a hole and start again .
