+2 , sad news , chin up , i think you had another young one, but with all animals you always miss the good ones, they always leave lasting memory -

well he bred some big apbt's deff , my bitch was 20 in 58lb , so average greyhound 25-27in 50-75lb your going to get a big dog sooner or later, if there any good depends on each dog some good, some crap, look of the draw as they say

haha , think its called just poor circulation , i get it more so as ive got older . now when out lamping (walking ) i am ok , feet and hands warm up no to bad , and only put gloves on if it cold/wet pissing down. but standing with a gun, this was a day on pheasants near the end of the season, not that many birds coming over, what did come over i made bloody sure i got them lol, my hands did start (fingers) were going numb, and being honest i think its dangerous when using gun, , hit that trigger wrong because you not felt the trigger properly bad news . when rough shooting

fair point , most racing whippets have bull blood in them from years back ive been down the track whiteheath , cannock , wolves , 30-32lb males that deff had that look of bulldog in them, this was 1980. we had staffs that were similar to apbt of today, our dogs went from 15in - 19in 40-54lb , bull blood was deff x back in to running dogs , its nothing new , and the pit x greys back in 80s were not massive like some of today, more of a racey appearance .!

just ordered Eddie Hall book of amazon £10 quid , its got good reports , the dvd Eddie strongman wouldn't mind that , but it not on amazon , so more harder to get , i like Eddie massive strength , but it didn't help him in a boxing match , the boxer beat him, but he give it his best like he does lifting weights .

the 2 pics are great , the rough hair lurchers , are what most people thank a lurcher is , and they deff have that old fashioned look about them, Merry xmas folks , and keep at'um Ray

great clip neil , i met Bert when he was a old man, and it was great, even as old man still strong old bugger , got hands like shovels lol, he liked all hunting dogs, and liked lurchers he liked all dogs to have a brain and grit, wonder if his grandson still working jacks .?
-
yeh true, the biggest part of the prob , is we dont have alot on common , and its just me who likes hunting , she knows this , even to just have a mooch with the dogs would do me, my son not in to huning either he just likes football, his mother in law who coming not a dog lover. but what i will do that morning is take dogs out early, that should hold them back a bit , and take them for a mooch later when i get home with my torch, so still get some kind of a walk. the lesson here , is when meet a woman, make feckin sure you got something in common , not just physically shagging

feckin dinner in a pub , because my son not coming over xmas day to see us, she booked a meal in a pub 1pm to see him(son) and his wife and her bloody mother and mother boyfriend , boxing day, so not sure what time we will leave pub and bound to be about 4pm, so i wont want to do much with a full gut of food and couple of pints, norm i have nice mooch with the dogs, and watch bit of the local hunt. i not in xmas mood feck it .
-
is it warm over there now, if so that why you or other brits , dont bother with traditional xmas dinner, i love xmas turkey and all stuff that goes with it , got family in Oz , and they dont bother either , thy just have few ribs, sausages etc on a barbie on xmas day , not for me wouldn't feel like xmas , but i am old bloke 65 stuck in my ways lol

had it at a asian wedding years ago, my wife worked with the woman =bride , and what great night it was , drink was free all night , curried goat was very nice , went down nice with 6 -8 pints lager , we had cracking night .

true mate , you get crap in all type of dogs any x, but for me if you get a 1x pit x grey gen bred from line of good fox killers your deff in with a chance , not the big heavy types but strong racey types , these types will deff catch them, and dont mind the sharp end . one of the best ive seen kill things with teeth , was a 1x staff x grey Tug, he was 26 in 70 odd lb , not bad pace in the lamp, and great around holes, it was seeing him work in the 80s , made me like lurchers with bull in them, get the right type bullx above there the best deff

so from the jist of this , and from having lurchers 30 odd years, they as type of dog x running dogs they shit more than other type dogs, this is going on breeds ive owned staffs, pit, bull mastiff, heinz 57s etc this breeds just shit once a day maybe couple times but on average once, but all my lurchers even if just on the dogwalks shit 2-3 times , and if been lamping gets like soup lol , Buck always goes 2-3 times aday more if he had hard night few runs , its deff the type of dogs , it must be somthing in the greyhound , as most lurchers , will have greyhound in there ge

look spot on them, love to see hounds out, what size are they height /weight , they look in fine fettle
-
and can be quite dog aggressive , so would deff have to keep a eye on them, prob more than bullxs, my last 3 bullxs were ok with dogs , but heard this x more sharper with dogs .!
