    Mark wont mind me say this as he knows i like the way his little bitch is running this season......but if i were running any of mine up against that Black bitch, Id steer clear of competing directly and trying to give my dog the long energy sapping runs, that this black bitch does daily..... and stick to the short dashes ....the daft squatters.....the clueless rabbits!! Not all rabbits have to be taken in style on the run.....and if your dog isnt afraid of plucking game from cover, bouncing off banks or snatching rabbits from burries mouths......you'll do ok .........dont take the first ra

    Mark was good enough to offer some runs for my dog over the weekend on the lamp. Mark took his Cat to keep her fitness levels up and i ran Flyn, alternate slips on the coneys and both dogs done well for themselves, even though we struggled to find rabbits from the first few fields... Lady was also with us and was Key in helping introducing Flyn to the art of retrieving Charlie, all three well accounted for and one very lucky........(Marks a poor marksman, what can i say) ....Well anyway, i got what i wanted, a few rabbits to keep me going and Flyn catching rabbits with a desire i hadn

    Yeah your right. Is Tia's leg holding up alright after that accident? Last I heard you were running her but had too be careful not too over stress It. yeah, she finished on good form last season.....shame she opened the skin across her front leg a few weeks back and is out of action for a while........I'd have taken her to Cornwall otherwise and knocked marks dog out of this lamping comp....lol........... just joking mark....

    Yes maty Flyn the reliable slow coach SJM...hey up. I never took the black dog as i decided he wasnt the lurcher to put over Tia, i wanted soemthing different. Hope your well and that Casper is keeping out of trouble in his old age!. I have not looked through the pages but guess your liter bred a while back (coursing type dog over ollie) must be up and running now.....hope it all worked out

    I know 200m..... but then i run fast and deep as you all well know Regardless of size..........., they are decent slips, where a dog needs to know to go down the beam as the Blitz beam is loosing its illumination effect at that range and across varying types of fields, it soon saps the energy from an unfit dog ...........but saves me walking

    Cheers Mark, it was a nice night to be running dogs, I'll be over again some point with flyn a little fitter For those who havent seen him, Flyn is the merle rough coat slow coach He ran as he always does...un inspiring but steady enough, and I'd consider that night as his cobwebbs blown off!! The filming is something new to me, didnt seem to interfere with the rabbiting too much. Plenty of LONG runs for these little lurchers..... good slips on rabbits that werent haning around and that werent all shown on video as in the main only the catches were kept Dont know much about

    Any night this week mate, or the weekend.....the mother in law is here so i have permission to feck off from home at will! Call me

    Mark, Tis a good idea for a money earner.....but dont ruin your hunting ground for a few quid .......As letting strangers do their busness of killing, even under your watchfull eye, will knock your sport to pieces, especially if your doing it weekend after weekend........night after night. Youve got a good thing down their mate

    ..........lol..... MARKBRICK..........the war starter fecking great!!

    Feck me mark.....you start some gooduns! The original question: I'd call them a sighthound, but accept they are commonly thought of as Lurchers. Would it piss me off at a lurcher race: Well, its a sad state of affairs but a large proportion of the lurchers at shows / race events, have been bred with these very events in mind, and then the claims they are working dogs too is banded around by the owners.......Whatever! .......... :wacko: . You see folk turn up in kitted out vans, kennels inside, holding several different size lurchers, one for each event......to spread the winn

    Not really accurate to just say about this and about that......some folk may agrue that the difference ..."makes the difference" Fact = the pups will be 3/16 Bull, 13/16 Greyhound on paper. Thats 18.75 percent Bull, the rest greyhound seeing as you want percentages. Most apprecaite that a mixed mating like this can vary how the pups will throw, although with these odds, i would say racy .....so have you done the mating and was this what you expected from the litter????.........I hope so as its a bit late otherwise !
  16. tia.kins
    Some good advice already. From me....I'd say to hold onto the pup and give it plenty of experience. Most lurchers learn to catch.....i think its called developing their style...although to be honest some dogs never get a nice style about them. I dont know how big she is or what her hake up is......but physically big dogs struggle to turn tight on jinky rabbits......and this is made harder the faster the dog is travelling(that might be why the rabbiters use smaller more agile dogs??) Anyway, like a said, all lurchers should be able to pick up rabbits once they learn their way and g

    hey up chap! Hope alls well

    This one of mine came from non working stock........Sire was a border collie, the Dam a bitza of beddy whippet, beardie grey. He works ok now, and has made a usefull enough dog. But i wouldnt go that route again!!!........when you see hime working against a "good" do, you can see the difference....worth waiting to get the right dog in my opinion!

    hey chap..........save some for next week

    Took a trip to Cornwall with Hedgey to visit MArk and get some Cornish ferreting in before the baby rabbits make life hard work....Got over their a little later than intended,......hedgey was tired and had a lay in ........but we had all day to go and after a swift coffee, got to getting the longnets up and the ferrets down Well it was a slower than expected start,........the rabbits wouldnt bolt and no sooner had they touched the longnets, they were in reverse gear and out.....back down the holes...Even the dogs didnt have enough time to close in on them.... Anyway, after a couple

    I do a bit of all sorts with the dogs..........but prefere to just get out and start covering ground on the moors. It sworks the dogs over well and is "moor" interesting.....plus you get the odd catch If i road work them, then is on the bike for me.....I'll pick a road across the moor and the dogs are off free to run behind me / play catch up!

    A very strong looking young Lurcher Miles.............good luck with the running to come

    Good on yer for getting the dog out and picking up some bunnies. If your trying to get the dog to strike at game, then a couple of fat bunnies will do no harm and offer an easy CONFIDENCE building catch. I know very little about running hares, but i have had experience of a dog that wouldnt commit to a strike.....and any dog that is used to catch has to be capable fo this!!.........Confidence was the issue. I gave my dog a summers rest to mature...but kept him fit, then as soon as the ground was right, run him on his own on rabbits......after a couple of frustrating nights, it seemed to

    Hey up D.C, your name came up in conversation the other day ....all good i hasten to add! Flyn has come on OK....and at 3 years old, thats a good thing too.... as he was taking his time I do like a "smash and grab". Clean catches keep the dogs running longer in my books. Up and down hedgerows tires the dogs quick if they dont wisen up to it and most of the dog injuries i encounter are alwasy from this type of running ...........However, it is productive and a dog that wont do it will leave more rabbits that are that bit more lamp shy!!!! ah......considerations consid
