    Interesting stuff Steve, and your deke looks realistic. Have you tried baiting for maggies? A rabbit carcase ,suitably opened up will often attract the little sods, a road kill would fit the bill. Of course using a 4.10 does severely limit your range ,and ,as we know ,all the crow family have tremendous eyesight, you need to be suitably cammoed up for the job, I once shot eleven maggies in one morning ,shooting out of an old war time pill box.A little later on, you should have more success, as the young branchers start to appear ,they are not as wary as their older brethren.

    My Uncle Bill, an old Lurcherman , used to take the beer slops home from the local working men's club ,he reckoned he killed the slugs with it.

    The last coursing greyhounds I saw running in England where for the most part rather too big for my liking ,it seems the Irish coursing with the emphasis on a big fast dog that gets the run up is wanted.A good mouth is not needed ,and might even be a handicap , as it can pull down to lose, without amassing the points. The coursing dogs of olden times like Master McGrath a smallish agile little dog with a big engine are a thing of the past . I would not breed a straight grey to a lurcher myself ,as I beleive the second cross is stronger, but, if I did I would probably go for a small to medium s

    A day out at a country fair should be fun ,whether you are showing, swapping lies in the beer tent with old friends, whatever,it can also be a valuable PR as hopefully the best side of field sports is presented to the uncommitted public.The worst thing is for folk to take showing too seriously ,at the end of the day it is only one person's opinion.Many people drive considerable distances to compete at shows , and they are entitled to expect a competent judge to give their dog a proper hands on going over, but if, on the day, they are not among the rosettes well ,life goes on.I do think obt

    It's allways puzzled me why those owners and their dogs who compete in obedience and working trials , get relatively few kudos, whereas a dog that basically looks good ,and is in fine condition,is lauded, for walking round a ring ,doing a triangle to assess movement ,and standing reasonably still while being handled.

    Boyo.I have had the pleasure of judging with you twice now ,and what you say is entirely true ,picking out a dog from the "civilian side " , of the ropes, and actually being in the ring , putting your hands over it ,and closely watching it move, are two totally different things. Hands on examination is vital to assess conformation and condition. There is no wealth to be made from judging ,usually you make one friend , the owner of the dog you picked as your champion, and sometimes ,a few enemies ,the owners of those you did not .

    exactly pet owners take the credit, puts a pisser on your day when you see a dog win that not a worker I've never been able to assess a dogs working ability when it is a show ring Can you share the secret with me? good point there inan a dog should be judged in the field not a ring Chalk Warren said it ,it's a beauty contest ,all a judge can do is select his preferences based on ,confirmation,condition,movement ,and temperament.And, if it is close between two candidates, that certain presence that some dogs have. He is not there to assess working ability because he cannot,all

    Magwitch and I should be there,not sure which day yet.Stop press, new instructions. Magwitch says Saturday.Most of the stalls are inside ,so half the show will be undercover at least, a friend of mine is judging the Lurchers on Sunday , but unfortunately orders are orders.

    Magwitch posts pics of our dogs running together so perhaps this is partly for us.Our dogs retrieve together, but neither wish to relinquish the catch when the other dog still has a hold on it.It would be very difficult to slip just one dog at time , on the ground we are using the dogs ,the rabbits can bolt from any number of places and its entirely possible ,because of the short distances they run before going to ground again ,that one dog just might not be in the right place ,and wouldn't get on terms.That said what we post is usually end of season stuff, where the bunny control has been p

    its called standing up and being counted Which could end up, "standing up and being fingerprinted". Why trail your coat?
