Was a greyhound for sale on here recently & the lad said he hadn’t broke it to sheep don’t remember him getting any stick over it, bit of double standards
Not really pal ,the greyhound as far as we know wasnt broke to sheep but hadnt attacked any ,this dog obviously has form for it ,plus the greyhound which was well bred was offered cheaper than £500 ,so not double standards at all ,more like no standards
-
Words fail me . £500 by the way

Welsh Labour are doing all they can to end field sports in any way they can.
Its a well known fact that animal rights nutters are going to attempt to stop this weeks Grand National .....anyone who cannot see whats happening is very gullible ,they will end any sport or entertainment involving animals in time .

Regards the NHS its a cash pit now even worse due to the amount of immigrants who have contributed nil to it .If you gave the NHS a £1m every hour of the day they would spend it ,its not the lack of money its how they spend it .
12 local NHS trusts recently recruited a Director of Friendship and Diversity ....their job to make sure language and signage in hospitals etc wasnt offensive to some eg..using the term person not male or female .....yes ,unbelievable i know .....salary of £120k per year .....do you really think Labour would sack those 12 people ???

Amazes me how the same folks who want to see illegal immigration sorted out will still vote Labour next time ,remember if and when Labour get in ,they will have an open door policy on immigration ,kids allowed to legally change gender at 16, hunting and shooting finished ,eventually followed by dog and horse racing ,as a nation of patriotism and traditionalism we are finished ......yes ,things arent good ,but it will get a damn sight worse.

Hi Phil.... that's very kind of you to say such a thing. But in all honesty I'm just the person who puts his head above the parapet every now and again (one of us has to) and I'm just a cog in the wheel which makes up the NWTF. The real grafters (who rarely get any credit or thanks) are those who set up and run the Clubs which make up the NWTF. Without their hard work and committment there wouldn't be a Federation and terrier work wouldn't have a voice. I've been around long enough to remember when the lurcher world was in a very similar position and saw first hand the valuable work which was done by the A.L.C.
I'd hoped that what's happened in Scotland would have served as a wake up call for everyone and was surprised to see it hadn't even been mentioned on this forum. I'd also hoped there might be people out there willing to step up to the mark again and that was the sole reason for my original post.
As I said before, there are organisations out there willing and anxious to work with the lurcher world and I don't just mean the NWTF. But they do need someone to talk to and who can act as a focal point. And numbers really do count.
Kindest Regards - Barrie
Barrie ....I remember your Dad walking his whippets round Darlaston ,cracking dogs and your Dad was always very smartly dressed
......i hate to say it but i really think us lurcher lads are up against it due to the fantastic job the police ,media even the CA have done on us by throwing us all under the " hare coursing ,organised crime gang ,driving the land " banner ,just walking a lurcher down a country lane is an arrestable offence now ,sadly i think we are beyond help
I wont stop ,i cannot stop ,i love seeing my dogs run ,are 56 now ,had a whippet at 7 year old ,greyhounds ,lurchers since ,i lamp with my son who at 26 has never been without a running dog round him since birth ,i will carry on for him and his generation to let them enjoy the sport like i have .

These harsher penalties will result in one thing ,lads doing even more wreckless things to get away especially on the Fens ,only a matter of time before a courser ,a copper or landowner is killed ,if people think working dog lads will just go away after your dogs have been such a massive part of your life they are mistaken .........who can honestly say when that quarry runs you are thinking of the jail sentence ,when the lead tightens it could be 6 months or 6 years you dont care.

With the current state of the country ,cost of living crisis ,out of control immigration ,a PM we cannot trust etc this government shouldnt be prioritizing anything else never mind chasing a hare round a field .

He was a big gambler Willie, I think it's disgusting how the BBC barely mentioned his death a couple of years ago, he was a charming fella and a great commentator, he knocked 147's in for fun on the practice table.
A few years ago I used to go to my local club just about every day for a few weeks and ended up playing on the next table to an old pro called Barry West, watching him play was something else, he was supping a gallon as well.
Yes pal he was ,sad that he was living in a flat over a shop when he died ,skint ....... fantastic on the 147s as you say...... the lad he came to visit was a face at Hall Green dogs back then and if a certain trainer was "stopping"a fancied dog and going with his other,Willie would be tipped off and come down to lump on
....if it won it was then champagne and nightclubs in Birmingham all night... good old days

To the lads who have enjoyed the odd knock, what's your highest break?
Mine is in the 40's, had a few in the 30's.
Was regularly knocking up 30/40s in 87 when snooker room orderly in HMP Sudbury
.....tables where kept in championship condition......as a side issue, one of my snooker opponents in there was visited regularly by Willie Thorn who later on used to join us at the dogs and races ...... but those days are best left there

A Derby winning greyhound trainer once told me that the bitch is more important than the dog when breeding,too much emphasis on stud dogs .

Spot on ...... the amount of people who look disgusted when I say my dogs live in kennels is ridiculous...... but quite frankly I don't care about their opinion

Another thread ruined all because I originally said the line of bull X used by Penda is being tested several nights per week,by myself and a tight group of a few others and was more or less called a liar .......no wonder the game is dying when we are too busy slagging each other off instead of sticking together.

Good dog Jack was , the dog in the brown collar (and as a pup in red collar ) is now 21 months ,his parents are the other two in pictures,they are in the kennels in the Midlands where Jack's line started, the man is a good friend of JS , that line is still being worked hard , several nights per week.
The line was taken to Wales and produced some of the"big names"
that were always spoke of down there.
Luckily the line has been kept close in the original kennel, not saying they have all been"champions" but if it doesn't meet high standards it's not bred from,I consider myself lucky to have a dog and his half sister here who are so well bred .

Terriers where owned by hunts which have always been large land owners, as have those that owned coursing dogs.
The only traditional dog work of urban areas is racing and fighting.
Any game killed was poached.
Yes poached with a lurcher,as for working terriers ,we have three of the best terrier men ever here in the Black Country and all of their dogs were kenneled at their homes,.....two of them were council houses ,as for coursing dogs , not greyhounds, although I owned a greyhound and don't live in Chatsworth House either
...... the lads traveling from the North East to the fens don't look like landed gentry to me .

It's time we all pulled together an get rid of nimby pamby wet lettuces thst are strangling our wildlife an out way of life,get up an get organised an start doing something or we're all fooked.
What len says is true,were letting our lives an traditions been eroded by fruitcake that barely see the countryside or have no interest other than to destroy masculinity.
Get something organised,it's to late for talking we need direct action,we're f***ing pussys were letting bunny huggers an packhams ruin our lives an our children's lives.
Cmon lads get some balls let's do something.
Maybe this ww3 on the horizon will bring us back to old days
Agree with you pal , only problem here in England is ,and remember it's likely that the same amended bill will be brought in here eventually, that the government will only listen to the Countryside Alliance and they have shafted the coursing/lurcher world well and truly
It may go against the grain with some lurcher lads who have no time for the Tories but while they are in power we are probably ok but next Labour government will end all forms of hunting.... . ironic really as originally lurcher/terrier work the sport of the hardcore Labour voter ,miners , steel workers etc ..... Meanwhile it's fine to leave a lamb with its throat slit to die slowly in the name of city living religiously brainwashed folks.
