  1. She was a proper wolf in sheep's clothing, under her rough coat she had the physique of a whippet/greyhound, super quick, one of the fastest lurchers I've ever owned. That one of yours is lightly built, if your still thinking of a Spanish cross to yours, they have rough coat genes so you'd likely get something very similar but with a bit more stamina and better feet, she suffered with the odd knocked up toe.
  2. I did, been passed a few years now, she wasn't to bad, had plenty of pace, a bit head strong.
  3. just for lamping I'd go for a pure whippet, for daytime bushing/ferreting i'd add a bit of beddy/grey but keep it 3/4 sighthound. Beddy/whippet X grey, 23 inches, basically a bred down grew with a rough coat and an attitude.
  4. beddy/whippet x collie/grey decent lamper 40 years ago.
  5. Using PG600 In The Swine Breeding Herd - Swine Reproduction LIVESTOCKTRAIL.ILLINOIS.EDU PG600 contains a combination of two hormones that have been approved worldwide for use in swine for inducing estrus. Each single dose contains standardized biological activity of PMSG and hCG. The injection stimulates follicles on the ovary to grow, and to produce estrogen, which induces the female to express estrus (standing response).......................... These follicles will eventually ovulate and release eggs during late estrus.
  6. said afterwards it thought it was a sand slug after it so weren't bothered........
  7. Just a shame she'll always be pleased with just a draw................................................ ?
  8. Iberian hares, are translocations effective for the repopulation of our preserves? View larger image A study by the University of León and the Artemisan Foundation provides new data on the translocation of hares. The release of hares has been a frequently used technique to repopulate hunting grounds. Both from farm-raised specimens, such as wild hares captured in the natural environment, a technique that we know as translocation. To date, not many studies have evaluated the performance of translocated hares after their release, that
  9. Jump to 7 and a half minutes for the runs.
  10. I'd of not been pleased with him getting that close to my dog, think it was just a bit of a stunt. Does strike as a couple of youngsters, the outcome never seemed in doubt.
  11. Sometimes the best dogs are the products rather than the ingredients of a good dog, a proven producer is often a safer bet than what it produces when looking for a pup or stud. Ps who needs a dog on the wet stuff.
  12. i'd call them lurchers or maybe longdogs certainly not got any Pedigree. There's a couple of groups some seem to prefer a Sloughi type others something nearer a Saluki depending what game they take, I expect a bit like our lads with Bull crosses or coursing types then others with a more greyhoundy type.
  13. They certainly like their lamping, most stuff seems to be taken on the lamp.
  14. Algeria and yes hares. ediit to add i'd guess cape hares but they call everything hares or wolves in English including foxes so i take a guess as to species be it jackal, wolf hare of rabbit lol.
  15. LOL recon sighthounds originated in a few places a long time ago, India, Africa and Europe and the closer they are to each other the more closely they share commonality.
  16. The lads i was invited by seem to do a fair bit but there're just ordinary lads, no airs and graces but love their sport.
  17. Still plenty of game in some parts of North Africa/Mediterranean basin I was offered a job in a hospital out there and one of the sweeteners was going out with the managers brother and his sloughi/lurchers and having my own dogs. I like the dog bit but didn't fancy leaving my family for weeks at a time. His brother is a decent sort though and I keep in contact with them just to see what they're up to .
  18. There's a few now and some just starting but not enough to get a decent genetic base. I've gotten a stud agreed for future use that has a bit of size which I like, both my youngsters are only 24" but might still bring on over in the future.
  19. Lol wheres that from the boys book of doggies lol, there's a lot of tosh written about sighthounds but thankfully genetics are sorting the wheat from the chaff. The sighthounds in general are all whats known as ancient breeds meaning they have no other ancestor within their genetic makeup, other than the greyhound which although old is developed from a collie type likely at the time the hare was introduced to Britain by the Romans. The Romans likely brought ancient sighthounds with them, quite possibly galgos as their were Spanish legions in northern Europe and they extolled their value in th
