Here's what I use for my dogs. It may look funny, but, it works very well. You just have to be careful when you introduce the dog to it. Teaching it how to corner ecetra. I'm really happy with it. http://www.springer-uk.com/

Aye, it seems it is better to have a dog kicked to death by "civilised man" than a hare die "naturally" by another animal. Highlights their agenda, perfectly. At least you know what your up against. Feel sorry for the terrier, and the Hopefully ex-fiance.

They could've. But they ate the rest.

Kurzhaar-directory, would you mind if I cross posted this on another forum?

I know what you mean. The German dogs can be a little sharp. Still, you can't beat 'em in the field I think.

Kurzhaar? Are those still around? I'm kidding! It looks like an informative site.

Hi Dan, You have a nice looking family and good dogs as well. I would love to ship these guys in the U.K. some of our coyotes. I think they would like them and I'd be glad to be rid of them. Keep up the good work. Mickey Finn

lol. Dan, you really need to get this dog out of your pack. How much do you want for it? lol

Those are some fine looking kennel runs. Well done!

Speaking of wolves. This was taken in Northern Michigan. The collar is actually a radio tracking (telemetry) device used by our DNR. Bull crosses on wolves? I don't know how well that would turnout.

Here's the boxes I use. sort of a combination summer/winter house. about three feet x five feet. With these, you don't need either a block shed or a heat lamp. Also, instead of the fancy doors. I use strips of old 4" fire hose. Here's the directions and description. Mine look like hell. But you could dress them up real nice I think. Good luck with your new kennels Deerman!

Looks like somebody already did!

world hunters, you obviously picked the right pup! He's a god looking dog for sure. I hope you get many years of good hunting with him. In his later pics. It looks like he has prick(pointy) ears are they common with 1/4 border 3/4 greys? Mickey Finn

Magwitch, Thats the best photo series I've seen to show the dogs work. Goodlooking dogs and a nice catch. Well done! Thanks for sharing.
-
Well thats good news. Both dogs back and in one piece. Alls well that ends well. Good choice uping security. Mine are kept under lock and key. Along with good helpful neighbors we all stay on top of things. No gypsies or travellers here. But we grow our own troubles.

stolen cocker spaniel and german wirehair pointer
Mickey Finn replied to phlikenpool's topic in Gundogs & Retrievers
Sorry to hear of this. I hope you get your dogs back. Any tattoos or microchips? I wonder if the wirehair bit the b*****ds! Good luck! -
summat desent was she this way from the start? or just when you started her play training?
-
When did you pick the pup up?
-
Thanks for the replies everyone. The gun dog part got started because I have a Drahthaar that would rather hunt than eat and is fearless on predators. So, thats where that came from.

You're getting confused with the Australian Shepherd Right you are! thanks.

Hello, from the states again. More questions about lurchers. I've read about three make that four popular base breeds here on the forum. No particular order. 1, Border collie 2, Bearded collie 3, Bull dog-english bull terrier? 4, Australian cattle dog. actually from here in the U.S. For those who are particular. Why do you use the base that you do. I understand or at least think I do. That the base adds nose, brains and atleast some obedience. Along with a sounder structure more bone so to speak. So the dogs hunt for you and are less often injured. Why no gundog bases? It seem

pups rietriving out of the window ......
Mickey Finn replied to ferret boy charlie's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Hi ferret boy charlie nothing like advice from overseas Force fetch. At seven months with the adult teeth in. This is a good time to start it. But once you start, you have to go all the way. It sounds like your pup has a good retreiving instinct already. So, your a little ahead of the game. These links can sort of walk you through it. If they don't work, I can try to send them another way. http://www.oakhillkennel.com/library/force/force1.html http://www.oakhillkennel.com/library/force/force2.html Good Luck! -
Night time is my time. I don't want to cause arguments. I just would like to learn enough about lurchers to make some decisions. Whats the breeding of this male? I imagine I see some kind off bull dog along with border collie and greyhound.

Hancocks Dogs. More questions if you guys don't mind. By my reckoning it's about two to one for. The guys opposed make very good points about breeding good working lurchers to improve your odds of getting good results. Sure, duds can happen in any litter. Some of you guys prefer Bull dog crosses. Judging by the pictures and stories they make some good hunting dogs. Unfortunately over here pit bulls and pitbull crosses that are running loose get shot. It seems that Hancock has produced some outstanding dogs. It sounds like undisputed had one that he was proud of and that others re

Hi monkie75. I use rough grouse wings over here. I don't use anything to preserve them and they seem to hold up ok. You might try rubbing salt on the meaty part to help it dry out. this is how we preserve tails. We fan the feathers out and hang them up in our houses. I'm not sure why, but, I think it got started with turkey tails. But, the salt will dry them out and they should last a long time. Good Luck!
