seen few working labs, and some lines are more head strong, and high energy type dogs, i was quite surprised by them . as long as they get plenty of exercise and bit of dummy work there ok.

Funny you say about the heat out there ,my uncle and his familk moved out there in the 70s lived there 20 years,his younger son still there married Oz woman,and his sister still out there. My uncle died out there old age . But the oldest son can back after 12 years there . He in Bridgenorth now over here,in met up with few months back as asked why he came back here ,he said he got fed up over wake in up in 90s every day sweating your nuts off ,hard to sleep in Ithe, let alone walk about in it. Me self I love the heat it good for my old bad back and other feckin aching joints deff.

from the very 1st growl , it should have been nipped in the bud as they say, all dogs will try it on at some point, but you got to meet them with full dominance straight away . i had pit bitch pup, she was fookin only 10 weeks old, and she started to growl if you walked past her when she was eating , she was outside but i thought you want do that again , i stopped her , took few feeds to let her know i was the boss in that yard not her , it worked i could take her dinner of her, she knew she get it back, but didnt do anything else regards showing aggression , me mom had bloody Yorkie

fingers crossed there pups there for you, they be very fit/agile type lurchers , with good coat feet and not bad pace, and good brain . that bitch i had was 1/4 kelpie 1/4 collie x grey , she had all the above attributes great at rabbits day/night , very loyal to me. but as said she a danger to people and dogs, i feckin hit her few times but it did no good she bite a person or another dog. but with me soft . like said on the post, dont know if it came from the kelipe , i deffknow collie can be bit sharp at times , maybe it was just her as the dog she was, i did meet a bloke with what

what pup you having mate ,? you got one to pick up, or one from jigsaw if any pups .!
-
well as they say, you (only) can go on the dogs you had etc, ive said before about a kelpie x collie x grey bitch i had, can honestly say, she was the most vicious dangerous dog ive ever had, and ive been round few breeds in my 66 years . she was fawn color , 23 in 50 odd lb , good coat/feet, great nose a real good mooching type dog. she was ok with me, and nobody else , no good with other dogs. now iam not say it was kelpie, it may have been the collie in her, but from experience with collie xs , they can be bit sharp with dogs or people , but nothing like this bitch was had to be muzzled

mine dogs , well my 2 lurchers , will deff make sure they not close to horses or cattle , they scared of them, which is great , but this little jack x woody i got a fookin pain in the arse , you have to put him on the lead pick the prat up , he only 10 1/2 lb lol, but he run at them . few days back some women came on my dog walk on horses, young girl was on a pony , there were 2 horses and her at the back, good job i seen them coming in the distance , as woody was loose. he would have flew up there at them, got to watch out for them with this fecker .
-
thats true mate, £ 150 enough for a lurcher , and regards collie i wouldn't have more than a 1/4 in the mix , drop of collie or beddy , whippet, back to greyhound , what i get anyway. you wont beat lurcher x lurcher as a all rounder for most quarry .

Think must be doberman in bryn,lol Yeh,as Blacky said Bryn a twat for it. I was at weston park again about few back when I didnt have Buck. Was looking at few coats in the stalls Wasnt really watching him ,when he cocked his leg up on leather jacket on one of the racks. The bloke seen him a big fat packi he went fookin nuts lol.

We nearly came to blows ,his mate and bloke watching it kick off separate us lol,yep bloody old Bryn will get in trouble. Buck no to bad like that ,Yeh mal

true that, i seen a real nice parson terrier the other day, leggy and well put together dog, not sure how fast they are , but for mooching and bushing i reckon they be good dogs. ok not lamping dogs but around holes with ferrets etc, they soon be on a rabbit quick. the only thing put me off them was the price fookin £700 quid , mind you norm type jacks are fetching £250 quid. but suppose there all jumping on this breeding pup wagon , these daft designer type dogs cockerpoos etc fect £1grand name of the game today

bird replied to poxon's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
crackers them , good breeding as well, lurcher x lurcher , spot on for most stuff. -
for mooching , any herding type lurcher, collie ,kelpie , gsd , these type breeds , ave great nose for finding quarry , rabbits, birds ,all my dogs are brill in the day, and good lamping dogs . like been said most lurchers will use there nose to find game, but some xs like above are that bit more keener i think ., and that from messing about with different type lurchers in 30 odd years .

males, you can work them all year, haven't got have hassle when they come in to season (heat) , and in general males can have harder temp than bitches , not all ive got 2 males here with sensitive temps, and i had a bitch was as hard as nails . but as said on average a good male dog are the better working dog i think .

New pup I shall be collecting when old enough
bird replied to poxon's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
i am the same , ive had both , and found dogs suit me better, i find most bitches are more sensitive than males , but in saying that these 2 males ive got now are very sensitive easy to up set. but as said can work them all year, no seasons to worry about nice pup , hope it works out. -
nice x that , you have some fun with her this season , that breeding, and her size , she be spot on for most things she bumps into .

well said mate , good thread you put up there, no you carnt knock him for taking his chance in life and making it work for him true that . but got no time for this hard man thing he put forward, and people like him. my younger brother was good footballer , and had few bangs on and off the pitch lol, he was like me, never looked for trouble in life , but we both very capable of looking after our selves if we had to, even at my age now i know i can still do it, if not fists , ive got good size 10 i boot use lol . just carnt stand big heads and bullies , never have and never will .

true mate , you think by now with top technology, and top people in this field they find a cure , my old dad died from it ( stomach cancer ) just read as well , your more at risk , if family member had it, as it a genetic as well, fook me didnt know that. dad died 85 , but he suffer for 7 months bad , before he died , went from 11 st to 7st bag of bones, couldn't eat terrible to see it , hope to god i can miss it in my genes . never liked Jones, thought he was crap footballer , wannabe hard man lol, but loosing a family member heart braking . lets hope in the next 40-50 ye

yeh very true that mate, i know the beddyx whippet x grey are far more common , and easier to get. but as ive said on here before, i had the above way bred 30 odd years ago, and never really got on with dog. over the years ive met few lads who had the 1x beddy x grey, and they were similar size 22-24 in 40-50lb there abouts, and were fairy easy going type lurcher to be around, maybe the whippet when added to the x gives different type temp , not as layed back , not knocking the beddyx whippet x grey as they great rabbit dogs , just think the 1x beddy x grey would suit me better thats a
