Hi , Bryn is the brown+white dog, out again tonight try get a few more for the bag. BIRD
-
Went out last night with craig, bryn and joe done really well. We got 20 rabbits from 30 runs, bryns 13 months old and hes strike is brilliant for a young pup, and joe who is 7 is spot on. Both 1/2 x collie greyhounds. If the weathers good tonight see if we can knock a few more over. Bryns still not keen on retrieving but catching well. The end of the day he fills a good bag. BIRD

Spot on. They will never rest till all Pit Bulls are gone , a waste of good dogs and Great Breed . WANKERS BIRD

True nick, but at the end of the day, when you get past a 1x, thats what lurchers are mongrolised running dogs, especially with more than two breeds.???. They all the same, it doesnt matter where theycome from, you get good dogs and crap dogs, its the dog not the place.??? My old bitch was said to have a norfolk collie in her, she was a great catch dog. A lad had her sister out of the same litter, and he said she was only 1/2 as good as my old bitch, as i said its the dog not where its bred.?? BIRD

Great, put that to a collie BIRD

Spot on , i used do some beating on a few shoots , and some of the labs ive seen were as you said [ lean+leggy with great nose+ stamina] if you can get the right sort of lab, put to greyhound it could make a great lurcher. Ive had bullxs and colliexs, ive got a 1x collie grey now, all were good dogs. The labxgrey from the right stuff, as a lot to offer in the lurcher world BIRD
-
Great pics, if you get a good colliex , do any job. BIRD
-
It sounds a good x, if you can drop on a pup not to big. With the lab's temp, good feet, good coat, and you got a good chance it might retrieve, it could make a great lurcher. As you say you dont see many about.??? BIRD
-
I agree Thanks BIRD
-
Thanks mate, yes they make real good lamping lamping dog. With Bryn he is a pup , but he is going to make a top lamping dog as he gets older. With the 1x collie grey, they are a tough dog and run all night for you. BIRD

Hi, he is a 1x collie greyhound, 13months old 24ins 58lb a fair pace+strong pup.

went out the other night he got 4 from 6 runs, doing well, got a good strike on him :thumbup: Keep it up bryn BIRD

I think with any lurcherx, they can all look good if you have plenty of game to catch.? Lets face it, if they have never been lamped, or there is a lot to go at you will get big numbers. Where i live alot of game is feckin lamp shy, with keepers+ lads lamping most nights, you do well to get a feckin dozen.?? your dogs really have to work hard to catch any thing. All i can say if you live where you have plenty of game, you are very lucky, come down here its a differnt ball game.?? as i said to Tomo at weston park , having the ground makes all the Big differnce.??

Have good un, hope things go ok for your mrs BIRD

Spot on BIRD

Looking good Taff , looks like it will take few bumps. BIRD

I find if the ground got a shoot on it or by it,they dont wont lurchers on theground. . You will find, the people who do the beating for the keeper get the ground. You have more chance on just farm ground, where there is stock. As some farmers like to keep the rabbits down were sheep+cattle graze. You should be ok for ferret'in, but not so with a lurcher. Even in this day and age, there is still a [sTIGMA] to be the owner of a lurcher . All you can do is try get the land owners trust, and maybe he might let you bring your dog on. BIRD

Went out the other night. Had 4 runs, caught 2. So far he's caught 10 rabbits. I know its not alot but hes still only 12 months old and i think im getting there slowly but surely. Hes quite a big pup 24", 58lb the rabbits down my neck of the woods aren't easy, i'm trying to get him to learn to take squatters, plus he's not keen on retrieving. Ill keep working on him. All the best ray (BIRD)
