Could be better a good grew over her could be the answer
Was thinking that me self, say nice grew to a acd bitch, a not quite a 1x as such with 2 sighthounds as such in the mix but poss better, as whippet gives speed/agility, and plenty of guts for most quarry, the none ped racing whippets down the track hit 22-23in 34lb, would pile into foxes no prob if you let them, so drop greyhound as well good as well. The acd side clever tough dogs great stamina, good coat, I really think make good mooching dog, and good lamp dog, feck me if big old Buck could catch 38 in a night and couple Charlie's if need be, they do it no prob. If was younger /fitter it be a type x I deff find room for in my kennel

Hi all, first post on here. In the coming months I’m on the look out for a staffy type pup. Something a bit more athletic than the kc shite I see on all fb groups and so on if you get my drift? Thanks in advance.
Hi there are some healthy/agille/ leggy staffs still about, if find the right breeders. Ours in the 60s were the old type = 14- 20in - 35- 55lb animals, more like apbt of today. These were the type the shipped over to America in 20s, then we're out crossed to bigger type dogs they used, I always thought the yanks might hounds= plot hounds, and b/m/c, the yanks always denied this lol, either way the dog they help produce the apbt=bulldog, is a great breed, when bred right, and in working hands,

Morning Ray, just having breakfast, a bowl of porridge, of you can call it that, I've hung wallpaper back in 1965, wi better stuff than this, still not to grumble ,like one chap says, it's a bonus I've reached 79
Lol, like the wall paper bit lol. 79 not bad that, I am 71 in August, I've got fecked right knee now, I was told, that I will need a knee replacement at some point. Well I not on the list yet for any Op with it, but getting worse with it, if much worse, I have to stop walking Buck, OK he near 11, but still needs a walk, little woody OK in the garden, so it time in 36 years with lurchers, I struggle to walk them, so am getting feckin low with this lot. Anyway Keith, get better mate and keep posting.

Just purposely set your dog on a deer and let it chase it too death humanely as possible
No I didn't, was just having nice walk by the wood, he was about 30yds in front, he picked up a sent and went in the wood, he done this type of thing loads of times. Some times he might knock a fox out of cover etc , he was clamping dog , but great mooching dog sd well, what I liked, make the walk that more interesting that way. Deff.

Iv'e killed hundreds of deer with a knife after a lurcher has caught it and so have lots of you so just hate them for being who they are and not what they do when killing things eh..
...
yes your spot on what you say, but when old Buck had pulled them down , male munjack by this wood, fook me the noise, a woman and her daughter were going to the wood to see what the hell it was lol, i had to stop them , and said my dog prob got a rabbit, and he dont like strangers by him , that stopped them lol , he nearly broke me neck in the woods getting to him, but got there finished it off, was nice size buck as well. so yeh with all done it at some time, but tried to be as quick and humane as we can, not let poor feckers just bleed to death with a slow death .

Few pics of my pup
dam cattle dog x greyhound
sire cattle dog x greyhound
collie x greyhound
Look forward to getting him out wit ferret sept time out wit them every day In garden and no dramas up to now
Cracker that, just how I like pup to look confident. In one way looking back, over the years I think something like that way bred, prob suited me really, don't get me all my collie x greys were spot on rabbit dogs, but they never really liked the sharp end. It was one the reasons I got Buck my 1x gsd xgrey lurcher, he catch rabbits etc, and fill me freezer no prob, but he do few Charlie's as well, I never went out for them, but if bumped into one, he bring it back to me like a feckin rabbit lol. I always fancied a put xgrey x collie xgrey, but couple lads back then, said its a risk because you just don't know what will pop out, Trunk on here said the same it's very hit/miss, suppose prob be better of with wheaten xgrey type that can still knock few rabbits as well if need be. But my working lurchers is over now, so just memories now

For anyone wanting to do it the procedure is easy when done right .For me the shot is top of the head pointing towards the spine not the jaw .Never had a dog show signs of distress nor thrash about after .A few quivers and it’s over .I’ve cried like a baby at most of them tbh .Few Ive delighted in as they just wernt wired up right .
I always have the hole dug first in a place the dog knows well ,just me but digging a hole when emotions are high never really worked and ended up too shallow .Too shallow and it will dug up by the very stuff it may of hunted .How’s that for karma .
is that similar to how they kill cattle with a bolt gun, top of head pointing towards to top of spine .? like said if done right , ok fair enough. i am only going on like said with old bryn that i had for 14 years, it was done quick easy to him in vets, he just looked at me and moved his paw, patted his head, and he was gone. i do the same with Buck , he turns 11 in august , and i turn 71 then, we both finished together at right time, he my last working dog, if get another later be just ex work old worker as a pet . But hopefully couple years away with the big lad yet.

Who mentioned gun to its head and blasting brains etc. Do it correctly with a 22 and there;s not any of that. The jab isn't more humane than a bullet, I'd argue that a bullet is more humane. No decent dog man does the last final service to their friend and companion to look fecking macho, they're doing it with the dogs best interests in mind. I wouldn't knock anyone who isn't capable of doing it, however they shouldn't knock anyone who is.
ok then, you tell me exactly how shoot the dog, do you use pistol, or rifle , 2nd where do you shoot it, is just back of the head .? and is it instant death .? like said the huntman, who work for the kennels, kill any old or injured hounds. all iknow that from the deaths of my lurchers who been pts, old bryn was last dog 18 months, it was very good gentle , different situation when done at the hunt kennel. i not saying it not done right, but by choice i deff use my vet again with old Buck when i have to, you can pm if you want.!

Well all this talk of putting gun to hits head, and blasting it brains through front of it head, I did get lurcher x lurcher shot for me, by the local hunt man, took the dog back of kennels and shot her, she tried to get back to me, OK she was vicious twat with dogs/ people, but fine with me. I do really think the old injection in the wrist is far better, don't hurt, more humane than all this macho crap, putting a hole in its head. Old Bryn, pts no prob, vet kind gentle, plus they get rid of the body for you, I do the same with old Buck when the times right.

@bird can't speak from experience but a few people I know reckoned a wheaton grey/collie grey was one of the best fox dogs they'd seen.
Up Liverpool way, smooth black dog.
A lad on here bred a litter too, he was a north east fella - said the mating worked well
Just got to hope the desired attributes fall the right way in the offspringYeh that's true, suppose that why they go back to the pit in the wheaten x grey, as on average you get that bit more grit in the mix, from pit/wheaten,. I do know from my own experience, that not all collies like the deal with old Charlie boy, etc, but maybe if just colliexgreyx wheaten x grey, it might be that bit better, it was one the reasons I went for the gsd xgrey, they deff got more grit than your average colliexgreyx, well my big dog had.Buck

cracker that, always lke the old rough type looking lurcher .Just out of interest whats the collie x grey x wheaten x gery like?, i know in general it norm a wheaten x grey, with drop of pit in the mix, nothing wrong with that, but as just normal type lurcher just for mooching about, thought drop of collie in any lurcher a good thing, as they great, nose, feet/coat, and stamina , well i found that with colliexs over the years .

hard to keep a hunting site going when it’s full a non hunters chart
it’s a struggle on here
Yes and no, you can only say so much about catching rabbits, either day and night. With the hunting ban with dogs, it had be effect on lot of hunting people. OK people, always have jumped over fence, even though 100 acres, I still would pop over fence to other places lol. Even though I took most things in the lamp with Buck 1x gsd xgrey , you still bit grey matter what you Wright. I think personally, that most hunting sites would run out of things to say, OK maybe shooting /fishing be OK, but they go in 20 years time, with all these fookin bunny huggers out there, but deff with terriers, lurchers, any sighthound, it over now mate, I carnt complane I had good 36 years at lamping with lurchers, to think back on, now a old fooked up old bloke.
