Where to buy decent collar and slip lead
bird replied to jhiggins's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
same as me , had mine 6 years,water proof, tough , still in good condition , never go back leather , Strong Stuff all the way . -
and me rather have a dog that up for it , than one that thinks to much about it. i think most herding dogs , can be the latter deff collies , never had a heeler x, but i reckon one x back to nice strong type whippet , you get a handy knock about tough type dog day/night and not over big 23 in 50 odd lb , have as much as any colliex got to offer , and more grit in it , surprised they not bred more . i know Lloydy bred speckle acdx grey and was good dog , but still think maybe the acd x whippet be handy dog to have in this day/age

i watch his programs people living in remote places , the last 2 were very good and to night was good tv , his old man a vet and gives honest account of all the breeds out there in his book , thought all bull breeds can make good family dogs if brought up proper with fair discipline , and really liked running type breeds. as well as gundog breeds.

bloody shame mate, when you have dog long time like that, if its suffering well got to be done. i aways make the simple rule if the eating there food and happy to be out even just in the garden , they ok if they old dog .Now just of late ive had old Bryn on my mind he 11 year old now eats well, and likes mooch after squirrels he mad for them lol . his brother died of cancer few months ago, i was told , maybe why it been on my mind, ive always said 11-14 year about average for small-mid size , i be surprised if Buck makes 11 year old . do the right thing mate if she suffering .

i think, like been said on here, it always risk with any 1x lurcher, because you can never really tell if the pups will get both 4/8s from each parent .? But i think ive been lucky with my 2 1xs lurchers , Bryn 1x collie x grey , and Buck 1x gsd x grey , both have good stamina,agilty good coat/ feet from the other breeds and both have good pace for 1xs , they caught plenty of rabbits no prob i think you always have a 1x , to start your lurcher lines , then take it from there , to get your lurcher x lurcher . some very good dogs about from good proven workers .

why should Aj fight Fury ,Wilder got the other belt Aj needs , Fury got feck all , ok might make few quid if they did get in on, but deff wilder should be is next fight , he do the same L/L if wins wilder hold 4 belts in 20 years .
-
was that straight 1x beddy x grey , i seen few over the years 1x beddy x greys all were good dogs , these were 24 in , what size was your dog .?
-
yeh max but you got to throw more than 12 punches in 12 rounds , think that what they said when Fury fought wlad , like said max Fury will beat Aj and wilder on points back peddling for 12 rounds , very long boring spectacle mate .
-
if Fury fights wilder in dec , will Fury fight Aj in April , or would it be to soon to fight next ./ carnt see the point in white fighting in April, it be better fight to fight fury with the 4 belts on the line. dont think you here much of wilder when looses in dec , i reckon he retire , with his 30 millon dollars. them pair last night made 14 millon quid each wonder what the lighter weights make compared to the heavies .??
-
the bottom line is this , yeh Fury can beat Aj on points , yeh he beat wilder on points , the word is (points ) , because there no way on this planet can fury knock out wilder or Aj . we all go to see a boxing match with boxer showing good defense , and attack , fury only got the one. Right now the heavyweight division poor , Aj had lot of flaws in his fight , he let a smaller man take the fight to him, and it could have cost him last night with them 5-6 rounds, Aj should controlled the fight being the bigger man with size and reach. But i rather Aj faults and know that he could

you packed up then lurchers/lamping ?
-
bloody shame with dog that, she a great lurcher for that job, hope his new dog is as good as her .
-
fair point max, ive always said the 3rd world countries where they have Drought and it kill lot of them, same as the floods in India etc that that kill loads , it just nature way of controlling there population there. i think as well when you see it all on the tv , it hardens you to it, well it dos me i not shocked by it no more . some thing got to crack in time , the world over populated , and we all living longer , used to be 70 years of age now people go good 10 years longer .
-
how do you think Aj will get on sat night,? i think he win with a KO , but he will have to fight with good defense , as well going for a ko or he get knocked out him self , Povetkin can ko with both hands and goes forward none stop , ok his age and size may go against him, but still dangerous fighter for any heavy weight . Hope Fury v Wilder get it on next year .!

think joe smith had punch , in his bullx grey lines , nugget the 1x bull x grey the dam to a dog i had off him = 1/4 bull 3/4 grey was good dog .

your back still no better mate ,? i know it bloody painful with lower back probs had mine since 1980 , i take 4Tramadol a day , they help me , it never goes away but numbs in pain a fair bit , but i can get about walking / lamping so not to bad compared to other people . Yeh was great day b/n a nice bloke, and liked his dogs , they be more the size you like in a lurcher . Yeh Buck big strong bugger, i am very lucky he got great temp with people and dogs. Bryn doing well, he quite fit for a 11 year old dog , he just a prat cocking his leg up on people or anything th

-
haha over the hedge like it lol , like you said on the other page , one to one dog , then the same with the other, once there responding then try the 2 dogs together . funny thing i was talking to bloke who only keeps beddy and beddyxs , he told me you never get that response to recall, like you get with your herding xs you have now, Bryn always quick recall, and Buck as well , ok when he sees or scents his quarry he piss off , but rather have that than a dog not really trying . he right really on the beddyxs , when i thought about , my dogs never really take there eyes off
