thanks mate ? , hope me next lurcher , if i get another, will be as good has him, i am 70 now , maybe to old for another lurcher pup , when the big lad gone.!
-
That's it mate, most on here just think of his size. And I be the same true, but the dog done more, and caught more than any of my other lurchers in 36 years I've kept lurchers. That why spoke of his size, he made it look piss easy picking rabbits up. But he old now mate, 10 maybe couple years he be gone. He struggled in heat like every dog as.
-
I ve been the same with all my lurchers for 35 years, enjoy them and what they have done when I've had them, all have something to rembered for. But this dog now Buck, deff ticked more boxes for me than the others, deff more in the field, and his temp, never had dog before with such nice steady nature, good with people/kids and dogs, so I deff won't forget him in hurry.

Dont think it will ever happen now mate, think Fury will just go for Usyk now, and like say Aj think will retire from boxing, carnt see him figthing unless it was to get them belts back. Fury will hold all 4 by next year.!
-
i think it be far better fight Fury v Usyk deff, Aj get decked sat by mid round, i think he then walk away from boxing with all his dosh. Ithink i read that Fury like to fight Usyk dec, or early next year.And i think your right Fury be to big and heavy on him, he wear him down, then knock him out, i have bet on that outcome .

He looks it as well, there always been the hunting/hound in S/A. But the dog that always been proper guard dog is the Boerbol. My mates got Boerbol bitch, that hell of a guard dog, you deff not break in to his house, she a very powerful animal 50kg, the males go to 70kg. Way to big I think, both breeds ridge backs, and Boerbol's got lots of health probs, and both alot to buy. ?

i might be wrong , but i think it was a rottie that killed him. think the bloke had 3 , not sure why it turned on him, but these big feckin 100lb plus breeds, abd, xl bull type pit things presa borebel etc , it only question of time before they started killing people , feck knows why people need them, a collie, most herding type breeds guard, and if it goes wrong you can pull them off you , mind you a full on 60-70 lb bel mal a handful for any man.

spot on mate, my big dog Buck, always been soft with dogs all his life , ive said few times on here , ive had dogs kick off on him, and he just moves away from them he dont want any trouble . But the same dog would kill a fox, bust there ribs up with one bite no prob, he brought them back to me like a feckin rabbit lol . i used to him now he 10 now, dont get wrong i did find it hard to understand him really, big strong 28in 88lb dog , have dogs pick on him, never fight back, but like my wife always said to me, thank your blessing he his, or he be nightmare to take out, he could damage any

looks nice bit of ground that, dogs can get good stride on to the rabbits, your coming on well , not bad pace for a pup . i see all the b/w fences , just like our feckin fences, you have get your pup jumping them when its bit older. what i did with my pups, once i got bit of obedience in to them , and they got bit of size , jump small fence no b/w , then when happy with that , i used to put my coat over the fence and get then doing that. my big dog , was great jumper when young , 8 months old jump anything, 5 bar gates etc no prob. funny thing where i live now in the a different area , b

Anybody buying the fight, think its going £25 quid. I don't think I bother, Aj will get knock out early in the fight I reckon, Uysk knows he can beat him, and knock him it, seen the pics of him, he looks bigger stronger., than last time. Aj got new team coach, OK changed few things, but it won't help him against Uysk 20 august.

Well done Lionesses, great win on home soil.beating the Germans lol. Reading some of the threads on this post, is amazing really, just enjoy the win in a English shirt, OK the football on different level to the men, and it always will be. Men are, faster, stronger, more agile in any contact sport like say just enjoy the win. It my birthday today 1 8 52,=70 today yeh old fecker, but in good mood, the win deff put me there, just need my team Wolves to get some wins, and good start this season, and I be a old happy bloke?
-
Dont think any hives by me, but as you say prob wild nest. Thinking about, they were not aggresve at all, couple birds were drinking out bath, and they were OK, not like a wasp that will have a go at you.
-
Thanks mate, you live and learn every day, even in old age. Lol?
-
Not sure mate they look bit small, plus they don't go to any flowers etc. They just stay around thee bath, seems bit strange?
-
What these bloody things, they gather all a round the bird bath. They look smaller than a normal wasp, I tried to move them off, but cam back. Not aggresve, but wouldn't leave the bird bath mot seen any birds use it, for awhile. Hope they come back ?

i always stretch / pull there shoulders/ thighs , then massage the spine, after nights lamping, thats with all my lurchers ive had in the 35 years ive kept them. my big dog deff need it, stretch him abit, then back to the car, then when back home , same again , he had shoulder injury when he was 12 months old, jumped of a wall, and prob not landed right. he was ok with worked him plenty of long hard nights up to 8 year old , the stretching really helped him, i think it a must with any working dog big or small .

True on the, they never forget if they had a wallop, even if it last year etc. So you have try to keep as calm as you can, when things have gone wrong. I've learnt alot in 35 years with dogs, drop bollocks with dogs, and try to learn from them if I can lol. Like been said all dogs are different, even out same litter, I think you have to keep this I mind. My last 2 dogs I've had, both were sensitive temps, Buck more than what Bryn was deff. I've had go the kids gove approach with Buck, the only time I give him a good hiding, was when he was about 14 months old, he been brill sheep from a pup

I think what will happen with these type bull breeds, they will go on the DDB list, just like apbt did, it prob take few more deaths unfortunately, before it happens. Any type dog can attack, bloody, collies on farms will bite you. I told on here about my younger brother, when we were teens, our dalmatian, bit him on the wrist, he told me the pain, like having your hand slammed between a feckin door, still got the scar now as 64 year old bloke. Now that was just of a 65 lb dog, with normal type head/jaw power. So these big type bull things, with head like bucket, the bite jaw power, be terr

Or a 6kg black terrier, many pats in Oz?
-
True, but what alot people don't do, is get them one at a time. Say in my case I go for males, if there 4 males in the litter, the rest bitches. Well easy really, you see then how they react to you and others etc, out side the kennel, and there litter mates. I knew a bloke who was dog handler in the Ra, and helped the police to choose pups as future police dogs,. He keeps gsd at home, and Bel Mal. The mal cracking dog, quite big 25 1/2in and strong build, he done bit sleeve work, it had hell of bite, wouldn't fancy it on arm or leg lol, yep see your pup on it own deff?

haha , yeh tell her sister did great blow job, she either suck it , or teck a bite out of it lol

ive only ever see 2 in the flesh, cropped ears , big heavy things, got to 90- 100lb looked unfit , my big 1x gsd x grey Buck would piss over them for agility, speed , and he got good jaw power and he near 10 year old. i really do think if wanted a macho type dog, but a fit/ healthy one i go for a proven 1x or 2nd 1x pit x grey , you get real good dogs there, and temp be lot better than them xl type bull things. you right there bred for just money nothing else. regards the kangals my mate goes over turkey few times ayear his wife was born there. he told me he seen them up in the mountai
-
well for me, its just good recall, and good with sheep, and re call deff a must regards around stock. one thing that i never really trained Buck to do was go down, i dont know why i didnt , as i know it good thing to have. one night was out lamping with black 1/4 pit 3/4 grey, when the keeper was coming down the lane, he must have seen my lamp in the field, so rushed quick in to the thick hedgerow, got my bullx to lie down between my legs, i crouched over him put my hands over his eyes , so keeper didnt pick them out in his lamp, and i looked to the floor. well he scanned the feild few tim

I always fed my lurchers, a tin of pilchards in Tom sauce, with few biscuits, before I went lamping. And it deff give the dog, that bit more energy, Buck always did well on them. ?
