  1. Well as what there chasing and thinking along the lines of hares here doesn"t run at full speed all the time as theres a lot of jinking and turning theres not really a need for a dog to
  2. Generally I feed it raw occasionally I"ll give it a couple of minutes in the microwave
  3. Don"t really see what they would bring to the mix I"m sure theres plenty of better crosses out there more than capable of doing what this person requires. I just hope that there able to find good permanent homes for any pups produced and there not just destined to join so many other unwanted dogs in the dogs home http://www.google.co.uk/images?rlz=1C1CHOL_enGB404&q=belgian+cattle+dog&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=F853TZ6wM8-ShAfr462EBw&ved=0CD0QsAQ&biw=1134&bih=633
  4. my last bullx 1 /4 bull 3/4 grey, was good on fox, but good on rabbits as well,didnt crunch them. I would give your colliex a good go 1st, then have a think about it, as i said it can be hard getting enough proper work for 2 dogs I"d agree with this my old dog greyhound/colliegreyhound x saluki took plenty of stuff that bit back but was soft mouthed on rabbits never crunched them and all where returned live to hand
  5. I"m sure you"ll catch the odd one or two on the run with him but I suspect he could make a good ferreting companion using his nose and brain to be in the right place,also as has been said he may pick a few up on the lamp I"ve seen borders used in this manner before and they can do ok
  6. Well done mate I do like a dog that will sort a fox, had collie/greyhounds myself and allways found them usefull
  7. The young nettles coming through are bloody hot as I well know from ferreting a couple of weeks back, my hands where tingling all night. Good bit of advice from lurchergrrl
  8. Well having just read the posts dickheads and bad men I can understand why so many people think were all tossers it makes you wonder yourself
  9. A good run that and in many ways that hare deserved to live but was bettered on the day
  10. He sounds like a top bloke going out of his way like that there"s not many would
  11. Give nigel a call and ask him mate think theres a link to his web site on this thread or get yourself onto working whippet forum and pm him direct
  12. Just comfort talk, doesn"t matter if its man or beast
  13. Lots of factors to take into account here,time of year, dog/bitch,type of land so many things could make a big difference
  14. I don"t know Nigel personally but I do know he works his dogs week in week out in all weathers and conditions mainly on rabbits but thats what Nigels into and with good results, a mate of mine has a dog from Nigel, he ferrets it,lamps it and mooches daytime and it is capable of bigger stuff and yes I have seen this dog run and he"s a fine stamp of a dog. Nigel doesn"t have to blow his own trumpet his dogs do it for him out in the field and as to regards working on rough ground his dogs work in the fells and dales where at times its pretty rough
  15. Well done mate,its good sport just bolting for your dog,you maybe don"t catch as many but it"s not allways about numbers
  16. You can buy one of these leads from most pet shop,sits around your wrist and doesn"t slip off and you have a propper handle to hold so no false slips Just slips under collar as you would using a bit of rope etc
  17. Nice one mate and I know what you mean about leaving the oldies at home lol
  18. Think you"ll find that whippet ownership is on the increase in the working field and with good reason
  19. Greyhound/colliegreyhound x saluki this dog was just a dream and took everything on board so easily,what I"d give to have him back in my kennels today
