    one dog

    A long time before Plummer (or anyone else!) started writing books on the 'virtues' of all an sundry crosses, there where Lurchers kept of unknown ancestry and breeding..... Worker to worker, with no definate 'type'..... maybe so but collie and grey have always featured whether it be the old smithfield collie or the present border/beardie x....Poachers of old knew the virtues of such a x....and didn't kill for killings sake. I don't doubt that, Undisputed, collie has always had a part to play (and usually a big part at that!) but for me, traditionalist or not, and being old
  3. Well done, some dogs learn the hard way, then they kill with out getting Bit. BIRD
  4. Spot on, you must be [ owner] top dog. BIRD
  5. Add a 3/8 collie 5/8 grey dog in the 80s, he would get 8 or 10 on lamp most nights. He had one night 8 rabbits two foxes , on local ground. Got a 1x collie grey dog pup now, it will be next season for him FOR the bigger bags.??? BIRD
  6. Hi Nick, went out last week, only his 2nd night in the lamp and he as had 4 rabbits, its not alot but he is very keen. Went out this morning, he found a mixy and brought that to me. I will try him again , on the lamp wed night, its supposed to be windy. ray BIRD
  7. Hi Nick, ive had both, and i get on better with Dogs than Bitchs. They seem to suite my personality more than bitchs,like Bryn a feckin nutter . ray BIRD
  8. Great, he must still be quite fit for his age, foxes arnt slow. Ive seen younger dogs , that struggle to pick up a fox , pre ban days. My old bitch [bitza] who died at 13, would tackle anthing, and still catch the odd rabbit at 10 years old. She was 1/4 collie, grey,whippet, ?, 25ins and 55lb the best catch dog i ever had.

  9. A good 3/8 collie 5/8 greyhound, if you drop on a good one, they will do every thing you want. BIRD

  11. its no good having a GLASS JAW in that Game. SPOT ON Tommy BIRD
  12. Spot on, ive got a 1x collie grey, 24ins and 58lb, a fair pace + and strong with it. BIRD
  13. hope so ray you been doing much or aint you kicked off yet seen your mate andy today mate Just started the pup on the lamp, go on my own alot now. Get more out of the pup, its a lot easy with out another dog there. Next season will be the one BIRD
  14. Nice dog, should fill the bag. BIRD
  15. When its very wet, and No Wind the rabbits will hear you come in a feckin 500 yds away. And if you are on stuble, its worse still . Ive been out in all weathers, and you still can catch big and small stuff, but ive found when its realy wet its that much harder Still if we wait for the right condition's, you would never get out. Catch what you can BIRD
  16. i RECKON, a 24ins dog should handle anything, ive had 26-27inch dogs and they caught ok, but i think a 24inch dog is that bit more agile. BIRD
  17. Well i am doing well so far with Bryn, had two rabbits on the lamp 12.30am. Its only his 2nd go on the lamp, not bad for 11month old pup. They was a few squaters, but not clicked it. . So my aim this season, get him to take squaters, and bring him a back in one piece. As he is a mad b*****d, he would go through a feckin brick wall after game. A mad 1x collie grey BIRD
  18. at home around the kids he plods around like a beddraggled seaside donkey......nothing excites him at all..hes like a grumpy ol bugger. get him out....and its like Dr Jackyn Mr. Hide.........Never seen such a contrast in perosnality from one dog Well done paul, grey's make great pet's, but if they ever kick off with another dog, they can be Lethal . I helped a bloke once who had racing Kennels, and when a greyhound starts fighting , the power+damage would shock most people what a greyhound can do. As you say they are a Jeckeyl+Hide Dog, but 90% of the time they are
  19. i sold him to a lad in swansea about 6/8 months ago for £600, i never seen a dog work like him and thought he was wasted in my kennels. the lad in swansea was brilliant with him, worked him on everything but he gave up dogs and sold my dog to a young lad. he was in good condition 1 month ago. i think the young lad has over worked him and didnt fully understand the amount taken from a dog working on what he had him on. the lad phoned this morning and said he was selling him and if i wanted him i should go get him. the lad wasnt there when i picked him up, all the other dogs there were ok, mi
