Did you work them then ray
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.

I make you right, and for the reasons I stated. The vast majority of people I've seen around these XL types are clowns who either want a hard looking dog, or, want to make money by selling hard looking dogs to clowns, and the dogs have no other purpose. Take that away/make it harder, and they'll just drop them.
The reason there was passionate/dedicated owners that kept the a.p.b.t. going after the DDA of 91, was because it wasn't about the money they could make out of them, but about the total appreciation/awe/addiction to their sporting qualities, and the breed was a whole lot better for it....j.m.o...

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.

Gsd/alsation bitch, greyhound sire, razzmatazz.
Only answering this in case bird doesn't see your post for a while.
If that's OK @bird?
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 docile with people and dogs, great temp, prob not get a temp like him again. I never had dog like him in temp, they either nice temp, but not kill a fox, or bigger things, or do quarry, but bit sharp with people or dogs, so he got it spot on, best temp really in me 37 years lamping these buggers lol

Always been interested in this cross, not a fox man myself but when you say about fallow was yours a good dog for bigger and smaller species of deer? How many did he have over his career?
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 fox, feck knows how did it, my collie x grey Bryn, would never do it, he watch him, and wait if there was bolt from cover, day or night, for big dog doing it was brill to see deff. They make great mooching dogs as well, a lamping dog.

Holyfield never walked through any fighter in his life he had other qualities,he certainly wouldnt be able to walk through an opponent pivoting off the front foot changing the look the way Usyk does.....thats not to say he wouldnt of beaten Usyk i honestly dont know it would of been a fascinating fight to watch unfold.
All you do when you come out with these silly statements is prove that you dont really understand what you are looking at.
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 belt took off him, and give to who next in line so usyk can fight for the 4 belts , its only right that he can, it all true boxing fans want in the heavyweight division .

Sounds like you had some good times with home and he's left you with some lifetime memories that is a special dog indeed..
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 male dob goes for him all the while, they muzzled the twat, people must have complained , it fookin loose ive had 3 goes at the bloke and women, i said it needs a fookin bullet , i norm have lock knife on me that i had doing rabbits over the years, i did think of jabbing fookin dob couple times, but i thought dont go down there , not worth all the hassle with cops etc, so go ot earlier to try miss these thick dick head with there pet dogs, i go out at night for quick 1/2 with lamp , nothing really by me no rabbits odd hare o r fox, but nice walk for old Buck, best time really , he just plods along unless he seen a fox, wouldn't catch now , but he comes to life he sees one lol.

Anyone still run these I remember an old friend having a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 alsation that was deadly on fox on hares but we waw teenagers n not driving at the time so local ground but very keen and the lad was never in this bitch genuinely took alot of gear especially foxes, not the best of feet if I remember but with all that greyhound it happens but still she worked until an old dog I think..
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 get it , we lamp for another 1 hour, got few rabbits, got a Charlie , then went back next day to pick up what he caught, had some brill nights lamping with him, he had more agility, pace, stamina , than my 3 bullxs , so to me the 1x gsd x grey as lamping dog got it. i did think maybe years ago if a coursing type dog x back to the gsd , prob drop size down a bit, you still end up with 75 lb animal bang on for any thing . me and the dog are both old buggers now, but at least i finished hunting with good dog . i always have lurcher round me, had them 37 years now, even if just a pet, i like all types, wouldn't mind another kelpie x again thats another good lamping dog.

Thanks Bird. Yeah I can’t be doing with the pulling he pull me arms off first 10 mins he usually miss the first rabbit because he steams in too fast too keen. Usually spot on after that but perfect if I can give him a good run to settle him down a bit. He’s 3 early next year and he’s a bedlington lurcher. Works out about 1/2 grey, 3/8 terrier beddy with drop lakey mix and 1/8th whippet and about 24inch.
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 .
-
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.?

Talking recently to some one who knew that woman who got killed at West Melton nr Rotherham and apparently she had two a dog and a bitch that had to be kept seperate due to them wanting to kill each other. This death could have been avoided if she had used common sense and got rid of the dog and it seemed both dogs forgot their indferences when they set about killing her then nearly taking the hand off the man who tried to help her.
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.

I honestly believe that boxing has fallen into the same trap that football fell into where its just so big and popular that it starts getting exploited in order to address political or society issues of the day.....Fury is a perfect example i think any other fighter at any other time the WBC would have stripped him ages ago.....the governing bodies only get paid when their champions fight yet having pulled the " mental health " stroke out the bag they have allowed him to go all this time without defending his belt or having any meaningful fights.......both Ryan Garcia and whats his name Charlo have used mental health issues to avoid fights and its now a get out of jail free card for fighters in my opinion......likewise these " anybody can be whoever they want to be " type of cross over fights or Saudi Arabia being allowed to exploit sport to show what a wonderful country it is......the integrity of boxing is suffering and its all the inevitable trade off of when sport and politics collide.

Not sure about the colour but up to W.W.1 they were any all colours. I'm pretty sure GSD's used to be brindle as well
.
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.

Well, with only about 1/3rd Mali, I should think it'd be an OK lurcher, as the deerhound, greyhound and whippet will have a good amount of a calming effect.
Well, suppose it like most lurchers, that near enough 3/4 sighthound, it deff have plenty of pace, not bad stamina, as mal run all day, and deerhound not bad for big dog, the whippet, and greyhound, be crap wind, agilty wise if not over big, be good. The temp like been said, the mal, been watered down, so might get just the sighthound nature. But in saying all this, as most know on here I've got a 11 year old 1x gsd x grey, now he size as never stopped catching quarry, he pick rabbit up easy, had good bags with, had deer, few hares, and killed few foxes, he been great lamp dog deff. Regards temp, he picked up the greyhound temp I think, he just big soft thing with people and dogs, now he 1/2 x . Regards that mal type x, I be very surprised if the mal temp comes through, with all sighthound in it. But might be wrong, as people who 1/4 bred collie, or 1/4 pit etc, say the gene still comes through, I've always fancied a 1/4 kelpie x 3/4 grey type lurcher, I reckon that make great day/night dog

The only big fight coming up I,m looking forward to is when Mc Hull goes to the Gaza to KO Hamass in there own back yard after walking all the way there apart from that I,m more drawn to the smaller divisions now were hunger and pride still seem to have a place,
ok Gnash , what are we going for in the Fury v Usyk fight in dec 28 if it still comes of, if beats this none boxer this Saturday lol. i know Fury be 4 st heavier , 6 in taller , and lot sat to big usyk to deal with ok prob true. but i really think it be fury hardest fight of his carrier . ok he can lean and pop him off with his long jab, drain him with the all weight on usyk, be deff no fool, and got to get in close and thats when furry deff could come unstuck , i really hope it comes off , they both signed on the line to fight . so they you go mate,what do you think.

He doesn’t need to do that.

is it just a type collie dog = sheepdog, or any terrier or lurcher in it . looks a great spirited little thing, i carnt stand any kind of dog with sensitive type nature , as it can really make it that much more harder to train . what ive found in my 37 years with lurchers, the more herding blood , they more sensitive , bryn my 1x border colle x grey was , big old Buck my 1x gsd x grey deff, strange really for such big powerful dog, but when hunting a different animal , he was full on for that job .
are these welsh collies same size and temp as border collies ? i know the kelpie bit different , and deff the acd in temp and looks .

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 went near 6ft in air haha, he was strong bugger Buck was lol.
