  1. Great dogs, I had none ped bitch 20in 20lb, dogs made 23 in 34lb, game little dogs. I raced my bitch in black Country, was good on rabbits as well. Don't know if they race in the black county anymore. What your bitch ped whippet, or small lurcher.?
  2. Think he wrote them in the EDRD, took fair bit of game with them as well he always preferred the 1x gsd xgrey, to the to 1/4 bred gsd x grey, think he went to Oz, and worked them there rabbits, few pigs.
  3. Lol, it all history now mate, he just old dog, be nice if made couple more years, but he 11 already, he might with bit of luck.

  5. i see what you mean, even though nothing like proer apbt = bulldog , the cops rspca , would label the same breed, after all there pit x abd x mastiff type x there really poor bred ( bandog) . and even though license or retraining be good thing , but the divs macho types would never do it. feck me i have enough probs with think lab owners and dob owners going at my old dog Buck , Christ he 11 year old , ive had go out early to avoid them. ist time in long while that i wish i had one of our old line staffs we had in the 60s, he kill them feckin labs or dob , but suppose it be my dog that pay t
  6. well, will these 2 really get in the ring and fight on feb 17th.?? or will fury find another way out of it .? i carnt really see the prob with fury fighting usyk, because usyk will deff be a easier type fight. he use his 18 st and drop all over usyk, with the extra 2 1/2 st and 6in reach , it be i think to much for usyk to break down, fury stop usyk latter rounds, unless usyk can find away to get in low and hard on fury, if so he knock fury deff out. when fury had step up to the mark on a strong big hungry as big strong, like been said he couldnt do it. lets hope they fight he get the
  7. nice that, build to take few bangs/ bumps. i had kelpie x collie x grey bitch in the 80s looked very similar in color build was 23 in 50 odd lb strong with it. she was hard nails , great on rabbits, couple foxes, great type knock about type, the types i like. But her temp was bad, she was dangerous with other dogs, and people, with me she was great very loyal protective deff, any stranger get to close she nail them. it was her protective nature , that was her down fall. she started to get funny with my wife and back then my young 8 year old son, she snapped at him, i give her good hiding ,
  8. mine bit like jukel123 , as ive said on here lot of times , when a kid in w-ton was brought up with heinz 57s= mongrels , and bull breed = working line staffs, and later bullmastiffs . when going back 37 years , i was walking my bullmastiff bitch by a golf course , had her on the lead she could be funny with other dogs, when what thought what was greyhound , ran flat out on the edge green, go right over a gate after tree rat. i thought fook me never seen a greyhound do that, the bloke got his dog back, then started to walk by me with it on a lead. i said never see greyhound do that, he s

  10. Why not just use a normal type heat lamp. I've got 2 red bulb lamps hanging from bracket in the kennel, it gives of enough heat, as dogs will flat out, they don't curl up, like most dog when there cold All heat is supposed to do, is take chill out of the air, and keep comfortable at room temperature, they haven't got to be to hot, unless there skinny type whippet with thin coat lol, get a dog with thick coat. Old Buck got great coat. Don't feel the cold. But he 11 so put lamp on now, if forecast frost next day.
  11. the bitches, made 26in, nice strong frame , but not like Buck or his brother had. but as ive always said on here , he good pace for big dog and agilty , they all got a long stride on them, so cover ground quick, had good wind, bitches were the same. they bit full on as well after quarry , he landed on fookin wire etc , but go through a wood in the dark after his quarry didnt get hurt, but i think me getting out as 10 week old pup, he tag long no prob, he got used it, lot of his catches' were out the beam anyway , trigger on here say the same about him. it very good x as lamping dog, if yo
  12. True John, he as aged, well he is 11, but as you know we had many a good night with him, remember that one night he got that fox in field, and all the cattle were chasing him, he jumped the fookin fence with fox in his mouth.there was no way was living his fox threre he must thought fook cattle lol, he was full on after his quarry wasn't he. Remember that night we bought lad out with us, he wanted few tips on lamping. I said hold Buck, and I get over the fence , I started to climb over, when fookin Buck jumped up, and nearly dragged the lad over the fence, I had pull Buck back, the lad we
  13. They were me dad's really, I walk them for him, he used to know lads got them, and sometimes take them out with him there. This was in the 60s, bit more relaxed about staffs then.
  14. Spot on mate, when we had our old line bred staffs in the 60s, ours were more like some apbt of to day, ours hit 15 - 19 in and 40lb - 55lb, ours were walked always on leads, and not public places, and if anybody ever seen them, they just thought they were leggy staffs, ours were all in kennel / runs, not really house dogs, nice temps, with us no good as guard dogs to daft, but wouldn't trust them with strange dogs.
  15. Thanks mate, your spot on with what wrote. The dam was from Eastern European bred stuff, she go out in the day with the lads terriers and lurcher, a fit healthy bitch , nice straight back etc, good guard dog, but not over the top, a nice nature, and Razzmatazz, was big 28 in distance greyhound from Max stuff on here, he deff got good dogs in him. And regards the dam as the base blood =gsd, I think it put that bit more fire into to the litter, the dam 24 in, and razz 28in, we new the pups make 26 - 28in, Buck 28in, he deff was full on to his quarry, but like said, when not hunting, was very d
  16. Well, hard to say really, I went to lot of places, he had roe, cwd, fallow. Munjack. What I got went in me freezer, it was great to somthing, more so if I had travled 6 hours round trip, and come back happy. As long as he caught something That's all that mater to me, not how many he caught. But where he really came into his own. Was going in cover day /night, he smash through any thick cover to get his quarry, he had few munjack in woods, that takes good dog to do that, his nose was brill finding them, I think got most pleasure, seeing him do that, coming out either dead munjack, or a fo
  17. true Gnash, dont know where this c rap comes about usyk , because ive said this lot of times, the fookin bloke 6ft 3in fights at 15st 10lb , same weight as wilder, same size as what ali was at his prime , he gone up from crusier to heavy quite good i think. ok not 18st heavy weight , and never will be, and carnt hit like one, but he still stop one with his boxing brain, agilty , and having a 220lb bang on the head/.jaw any man will go down deff. dont know what going to happen in 2024 regards him fury ever getting in the ring together , if fury pulls the plug again, he should have bel
  18. thanks mate, he deff done that, when hunting he was spot on, i would always get some for freezer big or rabbits . and yet as ive always said on here, his temp his brill with people, my grand kids, dogs friendly with them, but fookin dogs, male dogs attack him, lot of bloody labs try to kick off on, he old now like me, he dont want any trouble , he move off from them, and yet he lock on to a 180lb fallow , or kill big dogfox no prob, ive never really understood him , the strength of him and jaw power, when younger he could have wreaked most dog if had bitten them . ive had a fookin
  19. yeh mate, still got me old dog, he 11 now, and he 1x gsd x grey , good feet, coat, good pace, good wind . not going say he any better than any other lurcherxs , there plenty of lads got lurcher x lurcher dogs doing all our quarry in the UK . now its funny you say about what be the best the 1/2 bred like my dog, or a 1/4 bred gsd. well just as lamping dog, he ticked all the boxes for me, he deff kept me freezer full, and killed few Charlie's . Being honest mate, i never went out just for one quarry at night, but what i liked about him, was that he chase his quarry go in a wood at night
  20. not a bad x that, and nice size, he keen , ok it crap pulling on a lead like that, and feck me do i know, my big old dog 28 in 88lb , my bullxs could pull, but he was worse if seen his quarry .
  21. at least you didn't blank , i know what you mean pulling on lead, it does your head in, my old big dog, was twat for it, he pull you of your feet deff. i did what you did, give long slips calm the fecker down , give him about dozen runs, then bit better , but he put long night in, so he done his job, how your dog bred, looks good coat, how tall is it, and its age.?
  22. That's true mate, know somthing not many people may not no, is that 90 % dog attacks are from male dogs, that figures from America, with dogs like, apbt, rottie, various mastiff xs, few bitches but male dogs were the main ones. Even if they ban breed, the macho people will want them, and not just blokes either, I've seen few women walking around with rottie, gsd, big powerful breeds when out, maybe feel safer.
  23. I tell you what Gnash, if fury not fought usyk by may-June 2024, they should take his licence of him, and let who that belt fight usyk. That family gypsy's, have brought it down to there level in the shit.!
  24. Not sure if this true. But they reckon, brindle came from apbt, that they say was added to it years back, either way I think there great breed, very similar to a mal, think Dutch is a thicker set dog. As your dog got any sighthound in it, or just them 2 breeds, you still got your other mal lurcher? As bill ever phoned you, I lost his phone number.
