  1. You're getting greyhounds mixed up with horses mate. If a greyhound is born in October it is 1 year old the following October. Think you'll find they are both the same tote it definately does in coursing greyhounds and they run the stud book Y.I.S Leview
  2. You may not of noticed but this thread is not unanimous in favour of the greyhound Y.I.S Leeview
  3. That was my thought first time I saw the pic, but when we used to go catching hares the nets were always set like that and it worked ok Y.I.S Leeview
  4. Unparalelled piece of equipment on the market, but I'd go for the 4z IMHO Y.I.S Leeview Why is that. easiler to catch? I will be using when I am ferreting so might be in longer grass/scrub. Thanks IMHO 4z is the bees knees in longnets, (would n't touch a 4z purse net though) it hangs well and tangles the rabbits up easily Y.I.S Leeview
  5. its earmarks indicated it was born 2000 of a litter of nine, no matter when they were born they become one year old on the 1st of january and a year older each following January Never said she had n't coursed said she had n't seen or even coursed a brown hare and thanks for the pic Y.I.S Leeview

  7. Brookie did you train Waterloo Cup dogs? The 2005 Cup had a greyhound from USA running, it had never seen a brown hare in its life let alone run one, in the first round it was up against the 2004 beaten finalist which led this bitch (who was 5yrs old)by 10 lengths to the first turn it then took over and dominated the course taking the hare back up the field and back into the beat to win the course,now the shy was placed 800yds+ from the sough so in a straight line there back up and beyond to the beat it covered at least a mile and half IMHO, in the second round it met the previous years winne
  8. Theres nowt wrong with hazel apart from finding enough of it around here in bristol we'v got it in abundance here, near glasgow someone also told me that the hedges folks grow in there garden provide good wands ;-) Privet is good as a 2nd choice to hazel Y.I.S Leeview
  9. I have taken several people out who although not out and out antis, most definitely non hunters: all were interested and very impressed at how quickly the rabbits were despatched. Look East even came and filmed us ferreting a few years back when all the marches and vigils were being held before the ban came in: I have to say that they were very unbiased, and there was absolutely no slant against hunters, if anything they were more than fair: Just makes sense to stick with what you know works doesn't it. And as far as working ability being inherited: I don't have any hard and fast view
  10. We ve had our differences in the past but this echos my sentiments exactly Y.I.S Leeview
  11. [quote name='skycat' date='Sep 24 2008, 11:07 AM' post='679990 Yes, I know there are always going to be antis and dubious characters lurking in the background, but banning all non hunting members isn't going to make the antis go away. We as hunters should be tolerant of those who do not hunt, and unless those people are actively trying to disrupt, ruin or in any other way harm our activities, we should try to be as open and helpful as possible. True hunters have a wealth of knowledge about ferret welfare, husbandry etc.; to deprive the pet owners of that knowledge seems to me to be
  12. and that moment will live in your mind for as long as your alive paddy, a feeling only another hunter can come close to understanding Y.I.S Leeview
  13. If you do your homework, you'll find that all colour genetics were based on that monks findings, Ive said it before in threads/topics, and I'll say it again, in big letters so it may sink in ALL THOSE MEMBERS MOANING ABOUT NON HUNTING RELATED POSTS, ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM OF THE POST/S IN QUESTION STAYING ON THE FIRST PAGE OF WHATEVER SECTION ITS POSTED ON, IF YOU CLICK ON A TOPIC THAT IS NOT HUNTING RELATED, AND LEAVE A SARCASTIC COMMENT, YOUR KEEPING IT AT THE TOP OF THE FIRST PAGE, IF IT WAS IGNORED, WITHIN HOURS IT WOULD BE ON THE 2ND PAGE, NOT IN YOUR FACE, PLEASE SHOW ME
  14. interesting thread but the saluki would nt get a look in IMHO as Dan said if the\ salukis\ were that fast they would be used over greyhounds, yes I know they already are, and the reason given is to give the greyhound stamina,again IMHO its to give the saluki some speed. In 2000 at Newmarket the Millenium Cup had stakes for whippets, deerhounds and salukis 4 of each breed having qualified by winning a coursing stake earlier that season, the 2whippets were busy little speed machines, the deerhounds seemed sluggish but were covering nearly 27' per stride when we paced them out, then came the sal
  15. Know I do want to know where you got that link twixt Leeview and Patina from ?I gave it to stubby along with my password to flaming ferret when I first saw you on here nd warned him and others about you and droid other info of have we to say a personnal nature came back on another site about you (not your legal threat )more personal than that Y.I.S Leeview waiting kay
  16. to you it maybe, dont read it if its boring but I'd like some answers
  17. If Im defending my sport/life nobody will pull me down PULL TOGETHER YES AS HUNTERS Y.I.S Leeview
  18. OK. But if Leeview comes back at me, I'll respond. well answer my questions then
  19. you mean you missed more than 37 thats terrible a bad days hunting beats a good day at work anytime Y.I.S Leeview
  20. Sorry Ianb but yes they affected my way of life by getting hunting and coursing banned
  21. Not as Leeview, anyway. My views on line breeding etc have been aired here. They haven't changed, but might if genetic research indicates otherwise. I've never claimed that all ferrets would work well. My point was (and still is) that working ability is independent of breeding, since it's complex behavioural trait, not an inherited one. You claimed that working ability could beenhanced by breeding. Half your problem with me is that you simply don't understand the concepts I'm trying to get across. Wasn't it you that claimed that Waardenburgs Syndrome ( a genetic disorder) was conta
  22. Me neither unless he can put pics up of himself working dogs and ferrets Y.I.S Leeview
  23. Wrong again droid, Ive never been on right2reply the deal was you'd bring your pet ferrets up Id lend you my collars and see if they would work, after all that was my point not all ferrets work(or terriers for that matter) but you claimed they would and I said I would prove to you the difference twixt a worker and a messer, and just remind me your thoughts on breeding for working ability and line breeding Y.I.S Leeview
  24. Nice try but just remind me what the deal was going to be? and regarding what we disagreed over? Y.I.S Leeview
  25. Know I do want to know where you got that link twixt Leeview and Patina from ?I gave it to stubby along with my password to flaming ferret when I first saw you on here nd warned him and others about you and droid other info of have we to say a personnal nature came back on another site about you (not your legal threat )more personal than that Y.I.S Leeview Stick to shows, pal. You're out of your depth here droid I offered to take you out ferreting 3yr ago and you declined that offer on flaming ferret true or false? Y.I.S Leeview
