Spider Pig Out For A Few Runs Last Night
Tiercel replied to D Lloyd's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
It really is unbelievable how a dog with three legs can actually catch a rabbit, yet alone excel at it. I would love to see how he does it, how he has adapted to turning to give himself an advantage. And people complain about dew claws, he sort of puts that in to perspective. Honestly amazing, the same with Gaffers old dog. TC -
The wife rescued a pom and it's name was Gucci the first day, it started barking, and I told it "you'll end up as Sushi if you keep that up" since then I have always called it Sushi, while the rest of them still call it Gucci. It really pisses them off when she will come to me before them. TC

As above, my name is derived from the fact that I am 1/3 smaller than the wife. What does your user name signify to you? TC

If cost is a major factor then they can be cut by using cooking bacon instead of hocks and Leo dried peas instead of frozen mushy peas. I state Leo peas as they come with a small muslin sack in the box, use these to cram the cooking bacon into, then when boiled it comes out as one lump of meat that can be shredded easily. TC.

My pleasure. TC

Yep, and I have news for you dogs don't speak English or any other language, they associate sounds with actions. TC

that's the idea , sounds good , I'll google a recipe and give it a go . I'll let you know how it goes down . Ill give you the Welsh recipe for Cawl Pys here and now. Buy two gammon hocks. Place in a very large pan along with 4 chopped onions, bring to the boil and simmer till the meat is nearly falling of the bone about 2 hrs. Take the hocks out of the stock, add either soaked dried peas or frozen mushy peas about a kilo and a half add half a kilo of chopped carrots, and half a kilo of small diced potatoes. Take all the skin and fat off the hocks break all the meat up into shreds and a

Cawl pys. Pea and ham every one loves that. TC

If anyone would know it would be Leeview. His knowledge of coursing has to be second to none. TC

Trying to get back on topic, did not Teddy Moritz have a couple of Hancock lurchers that used to run and kill cottontails? I don't think they specified the breeding HC 3/4/cross etc in the book, just a few pictures of her and the dogs and a couple of cottontails. TC
-
Phil as you and I both know, sometimes it just does not work that way. The first cross can be out of this world, yet no matter what it is bred with none of the brood seem to live up to the initial cross. Edited to add: Not every first cross makes the grade obviously. TC

First off I apologise for derailing the man's thread, if you would like to continue the with the discussion over Hybrid Vigour please start a thread about it and I will contribute. TC
-
Bolocks you can only get Hybrid Vigour from a cross between two different species like a horse and a donkey, or a goldfinch and a canary. Cross two pure bred dogs and you will get a mongrel no more no less. TC

half cross x half cross = half cross does it not ? and both parents could be hunting dogs.. In theory yes, in practice I would say no, as to my mind a half cross is a first generation cross. HC X HC is a second generation lurcher so to my way of thinking it would not be a true half cross. I may well be wrong, but that is how I see it. TC a hc x hc will still be a hc .... it just wont be a first cross I agree with you 100%, but, there is always a but, it would be a result of a lurcher to lurcher mating, not a two different breed mating. A simplistic explanation of the way I see it is

Out of curiosity, I like a half cross, how do you get one out of working parents? The collie may work sheep or cattle, the dam may be an ex track dog that does some coursing. Neither would be at the top of the tree hunting wise, yet they still produce some viable offspring. TC

Should go to specksavers, comes to us all in time, one of the disadvantages of getting on. TC

There is another brewing in the Caribbean just south west of Cuba come this time next week. It looks a bit far west and may go up the gulf of Mexico, it will take another couple of days before the path is estimated. Again look for small blue circle in the bottom left corner next Tuesday. http://magicseaweed.com/North-Atlantic-Surf-Chart/2/?chartType=PRATE TC

If any of you think that any politician is going to put you before themselves. Then quite frankly you should not be allowed to vote. In every politicians life there are three people who are impotent to them. Me, Myself and I. Not necessarily in that order. I was born in a labour heartland, where you could put a donkey in for labour and it would win, and to be honest they often did. I did not agree with the socialist doctrine of something for nothing, if someone wanted to work harder for more money, why penalise them? This was back in the 1970's. So even though it was futile, I voted conser

The reason I asked as there was a similar thing on another forum about 5 years ago, and all the entries became the intellectual property of the publisher, in this case it is the hunting life who would own the publishing rights of each and every entry. I am willing to be corrected if I am wrong, I will do some digging and see what I can find. TC

A little girl is walking down the road pushing a dolls pram with a little Jack Russell dressed up in baby clothes in it. The vicar stops to pass the time of day. The vicar says hello, I have not seen you here before. No the little girl replied we have just moved in. I must say you look really pretty with your pig tails and that flowery dress, what is your name says the vicar? Petal the girl replied, when I was a baby in the pram my mother used to put me in the shade of the rose bushes on the patio, and I would pick the petals of the rose bushes. The vicar looks in the pram and says t

One question, once an article is published here who's intellectual property is it? TC

Thank fcuk for that I thought I was on my own. TC

I have to agree with socks, without being nasty, some of us find it hard to write a sentence yet alone a story. I think it would have limited appeal. TC

The fact of the matter is he is a convicted rapist. There are no shades of grey about that fact. As we all know every action has a consequence whether we meant the action or not, the consequence he has to live with for the rest of his life is that he is a convicted rapist. You cannot say that he did not mean to do it, otherwise why would have had his mate to film it? So in my eyes it was a premeditated act, which makes it just as bad as if he had dragged a girl down an alley on impulse. Just my take on the matter. Edited to add, who ever filmed him should have been done for rape also.
