Collie Greyhound X Bull Greyhound
Jude replied to rabbitman1234567's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Pup is a cracker Trunk, you anymore new clips for youtube? Easily The best lamping footage on there -
From what I have seen/ heard from the alaunt types in recent years is they are being bred for there size and look, probably with the thought that they could do what ordinary bull x’s could do but only better because of there size and weight, when in reality they don’t come close, big shite houses that look the part when getting it there own way but their arse collapses the first sign of getting it sore. They will keep being bred and bought by people who don’t use them or who are easily pleased purely because they are look the part and make money.

Like the look of it??
-
Yep they bring a lot more to the table than the only thing people give them credit for
-
I have a second generation half cross myself just now, he’s took a better shape than both parents and slightly taller aswell, will see if hes still got the raw materials this season
-
Not many genuine bull greyhounds of any type being bred now most of what you see advertised is scatter bred shite with bits of everything in there. The real stuff is usually well grafted and pups spoken for before they are born. Never seen a proper first x for a while , all big mastiff looking things people are using for how they look other than what they can do. A 5/8 3/8 is a great cross if they take the right shape, seen a few over the years

The most sporting animal of the lot and given no season, fair play to keepers or doing it for farmers who need it done out of necessity at this time of year as lively hoods depends on it. Also to keep permission if you don’t somebody else will. That aside there is plenty of shooters are out right through the spring shooting vixens& dog foxes where they are causing no harm, therefor the Cubs being left to starve and not a thought spared, Bad crack.if going to do it at least do it properly. If somebody shot a deer out of season they would be enemy number one but because the fox is tarred w
-
It’s sickening, technology is one thing that’s done the fox no favours for sure with all the thermal and night vision that every shooter has nowadays. If it wasn’t for towns and built up areas there would hardly be a fox anywhere. Places I know that used to hold decent numbers are piss poor now due to the rifle brigade, most of which couldn’t walk the length of themselves. Hard going for dog lads now.
-
Mine got a quite a thick coat but not long haired, think a lot of it is just being worked up/anticipation when out. Hopefully when start road work and getting him runs he will settle down a bit
-
Anybody ever had a dog that is constantly panting when out? He is a young dog in good condition and is out plenty. but is always blowing out his arse for nothing, I know it is fairly warm just now but does it even on really cool days. I don’t know if it’s just because he is that wound up all the time or what but hopefully settles down a bit this season when starts getting some proper work
-
Got a dog trace x20 a few months back, great bit of kit, basic just a compass and tells you in meters how far away the dog is. Great value for money
-
Toe looks stubbed pal, the young dog I have just now done the same thing from a small pup, it never gave him any bother until I started running him around the year old mark, was fine with one or 2 but after a decent night he was always light on it the next morning. I gave him three months off just road walking, seems sound on it now just keeping fingers crossed for next season. All the best.
-
That’s ideal, are they straight forward enough to use?
-
Just wondering which is the best garmin setup to go for? Also where is best to buy from aswell? most websites have been french or American just wondering if they work straight out the box with uk maps from these country’s. cheers
-
Good do that??, used to be plenty rabbits local to me, during the summer they got up to a decent population only for myxi to wipe the lot out. As for the night vision brigade I think they want to make foxes extinct with the way are going on now, nothing can take that kind of pressure.

Anybody know of a bone man central Scotland, will travel within reason. Cheers
-
I reckon I will end up getting it off, usually only see him limping on it when he first gets up or after a session, gave him half a dozen runs last night after a good lay off, never effected him at all when running just was up on it by time i got back to the van. Anybody know how long recovery time is once you get it off?
-
Anybody had much experience with having to get a toe of a dog? I’ve got a young dog about a year old, had broke a toe at a really early age, it healed over and never gave him much bother. Now that He’s seeing a few nights out it’s giving him a lot of bother after a few runs. Done the usual rest, meticam etc. Not wanting to get it off but it’s going to b an ongoing thing I will. Many lads done it? How did the dog run after? How long did it take to get back running after getting it off?
-
Good stuff, do they work straight out the box in the uk then no messing with maps etc? Heard a few people saying they take a while to refresh when a dog is on the move, any issues with that?
-
Looking to get a gps tracker soon and was just looking to see what people are finding the best to use. Does the tek 2 work in Britain without maps?

Looking into getting a gps tracker soon and just wondering what people are finding the best to use. Does the tek 2 work in Britain ok without maps?

Been looking into getting a gps tracking setup for a while now, been a few times recently where it really would have saved a lot of hassle. Can anybody who uses one for the lurchers give a bit of advice on which one would be the best option? I’ve heard some come without British maps, just wondering how you get that sorted etc cheers
-
Just seems strange that it’s only just started doing it now, even after a good amount of use it’s not even going down 1 bar. And still saying full charged
-
Any lads on here had any bother with the lithium battery gauge? When I check to see how much life is left in it it’s saying full all the time, even after use, when put on charge it says full aswell. Had it a few seasons now with no problems it’s the 22amp one

The Plr500 is a great cordless lamp for smaller fields ect, the only thing I’m not keen on is how tight the beam is but that’s just the design of the lamp. I recently went back to the lightforce 170 and couldn’t belive how dull/yellow it was compared to the led. Both good for different jobs
