  1. Did you seriously think two 14 week old pups were holding a deer like that ? or believe it ?
  2. CMT ? what’s the money like doing that ??
  3. Since when did we all become such snobs ? there Will be lads there with very well conditioned , trained and looked after animals who at least are doing summat about their hobby with their dogs Remember not too long ago that a well known bull cross owner was caught with his dogs in a very poor set up , but f**k was said then was it ?
  4. If I hadn’t moved , I’d go to that I reckon that would be good crack for a day out
  5. I know I read that back eh lol
  6. So I’ve stated before I’m not really a foxing man although I’ve had decent dogs on them. I had a very good bull greyhound for a while before he was killed by a gate lamping . they weren’t for me although most of my pals always had one or two about them. I remember clear as day the first one I seen on a fox driving day in 1995, it was a big heavy brindle bitch , likely staff influenced and it was lovely to see at its work . The breed wasn’t really popular in Carlisle until then and this bitch was from some lads a bit older than me from over the border. then I started going out with
  7. they look weakest dogs on this thread no offence like , clearly resilient but they look like they would wrap over here
  8. Yeah pretty standard that, I’ve had a couple myself that used to get so wound up you had to take them out for a spin before they settled in . The worst I’ve seen personally was owned by a young lad in our circle , we let my dog out on a hare and when we got back in it had pushed itself through the mesh factory fitted dog Guard on my vans bulkhead. The dog also gave mouth like nothing else I’ve heard on its first run until it had settled but when it did it was a serious tool at its job , I stand by what I’ve said , all this secret squirrel omertà regarding wheaten crosses , they ar
  9. Wheaton’s are scrap let’s have it right
  10. Was that Peter the beaters scout dog or the other scout from Darlington? sure @WataWalloperhad something along those lines as well
  11. Coursing bulls are a type of lurcher as identifiable and as unique as a coursing dog imho
  12. He did .he got a bitch if I remember rightly called Darla. that was the parents of the red dog
  13. No It was a funny breeding , unrelated to miks stuff in any way
  14. It’s still 1986 out west mate . It’s a part of the uk that’s never evolved lol
  15. Me and @mC HULLhad this conversation not long ago , you don’t see many of those grey hounds with bull terrier head types anymore
  16. Im Sure wilf won’t mind me sharing this . he was a big old powerful dog like
  17. I’ve seen bull x trying to bury foxes into the ground mate . and that was just scrappy mean red flyers from out west Cumbria with no fancy names I don’t know about that , crab fair or flimby show would have dogs for days that could turn their hands to most stuff
  18. Yes and no. i was never a foxing man , i would run and kill but more as an opportunity to test the dog and a bit of crack than anything too serious . I like a bit of bull in a running dog for the snap and the brain they have and it just tidies up a dog imho One of the best what I would call spree killers lol was our very own @WILFdog who could get taken out to a place with heavy foxes and be guaranteed to leather them back to back with minimum respite between. I believe he was heavily saluki blooded and was as handsome a dog as you could wish to kennel. conversely a dog that y
  19. Absolutely mate . I wouldn’t contemplate buying a pup from parents I’d never seen or at least had someone I trust vouch for . And I certainly wouldn’t touch anything ever that would cur away from a balled up fox down the beam or couldn’t bend a daytime hare. I only ever had one dog pull up on fox and that was a bull to lurcher cross bitch who was supposed to from very good foxing parents and she flat out pulled up and that was that. Luckily for her I made her reasoning that She was only 22ins and it was distasteful anyway, she was more than adequate in other quarry aspects. Besi
