Seen a couple and they are cracking little dogs, but I always think to whoever is going to breeding a litter why not just use a greyhound instead, will get bigger stronger more cable dogs. horses for courses I suppose and depending what they were going to be used for. The ones I’ve seen were spot on rapid of the mark and could turn well but couldn’t help thinking if was just was a few inches bigger and ten or more pounds heavier could have made things a lot easier

Every type of quarry is better in the daytime than on the lamp fact. Plenty of dogs can look good lamping but look average in the daytime. Foxes are probably the only thing that don’t make many mistakes on the lamp, don’t see them hitting or turning of a fence often

The only way you can solve this problem is to knock the bull cross on the head and get a good saluki cross
Dogs for jobs, a saluki couldn’t do what a bull x is bred for consistently and vice versa
-
I think that’s a lot to do with it, just getting excited knowing the routine of getting out ect. It Can get really annoying at times
-
Anyone ever had a dog that heats up really quick, excessive panting ect. My current bull x is a like this, even in cold weather or having done little exercises he’s blowing. Dog is in great shape and fit and not over muscular.after the first run he never gets his tongue back in for the rest of the night. I think a lot of it is from just being hyped up to begin with.

Do you know when the new Scottish law comes in for rabbiting in Scotland mate? Is it a different date to fox hunting?
-
Sad indeed, it was the last thing lurcher owners could do legally. There will b hundreds of foxhounds being put down aswell all due to some clueless mp’s. It won’t stop there either, i think wild bird shooting will b the next thing they will target ie grouse, woodcock ect
-
So killing rats with dogs ie lurchers and terriers is legal without any bullshit licences ect?

Yesterday while letting the dogs empty themselves and have run about over the back field, my youngest dog pulled up with a Yelp after a short burst. There was no limping or holding his leg up his head just went down and went really quiet. Since then he’s still not limping but doesn’t seem to b putting full weight down on back foot and when he’s waking he seems to be kicking it out to the side. Anybody any idea what it could be? Doesn’t seem to b bothering him that much but definitely something not right
-
He’s taken it down, he said on Facebook that the video he put up of making the pheasant feeders, somebody must have knew the area where they were and went and stole them. It’s a pity as it was one of the YouTube channels that was actually decent,a bit of everything on there.

Not sure mate think it was called under the lamp or under the beam something similar to that
-
Heard through a couple of lads there’s a new fox lamping dvd out from Ireland just now but can’t seem to find it. Anybody know anything about it or got a link. Cheers

Anybody know if it’s still on the go? Used to see the guy that had it at the game fairs in the summer but not for a few years. Always used to think his leather collars were good quality and reasonably priced.

If you get a game 3/4 there’s not a better dog for lamping Charlie’s. They can have a lot of bother with injuries though with there speed and reckless running style but on the flip side that’s why they will catch things that others won’t. Not seen any litters for years, best way bred are from a game tested proper first cross not any scatter bred shit that’s half bull. Pity there’s not much about these days. Seeing a good one go would be an eye opener for some folk

A lot of lads seem to think when the fields get cut that’s the season started but in reality the ground is still rock solid, weather is boiling hot and all quarry is about half grown. On the flip side of the argument the rifle lads will be out wiping out litters of Cubs ect that the dog men have left alone all spring/ summer, all for some trigger happy prick to wipe everything out within a couple of nights. Ideally it would b September crops were getting cut but we can’t have it all

Won’t be much being bred now I don’t think but was quite popular at one time
-
Anybody still run these? Or seen them back in the day? There was a good line about in Scotland for years nothing left now though
-
Seeing increased numbers this year where I am, still only in pockets though but more that the last few years. Things usually start to look good throughout the summer then the myxi raises its head around august September time and it’s back to square one

Yes, it's very good stuff. Used to use it all the time on the coursing field, really helped keep fatigue at bay. I even drank it myself from time to time when exhausted and thirsty, kept me going better than any human product, even though it's not designed for humans.
Also good for dogs that pant a lot and dehydrate through losing too much fluid that way. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Good stuff, think I will give it a try, especially start Of the season when it can b a bit warm
-
Anybody use it? when do people use it?
was thinking on getting it as I’ve a dog that is terrible in any form of heat and Is constantly panting. Does it improve recovery time ect? Just interested to see people’s opinions on it -
Fair play to keepers doing it or doing it for farmers that are getting bother with them, have to keep permission ect but there are plenty that look forward to this time of year and use the previous as an excuse. Terrier work is definitely the way to do it though, plenty shooters will happily shoot a vixen that’s feeding Cubs and not a thought spared for the Cubs that will b left to starve

Hares are absolutely thriving over the past couple years near where I am, can’t help but think it’s down to the foxes getting hammered from all the folk with thermal night vision rfles. therefore there’s not the amount of leverets getting eaten.
