I only started ferreting last year and I used my pet Jack Russell, she marked up like she'd been doing it her whole life..only problem was she decided to go down a hole and I had to dig the twat out! Funny now but not at the time.
Got the variable striker too, serious tool and the dimmer is great if your not wanting to light up the whole world! I was surprised how little light lit up those eyes.
Just got my pup insured earlier with direct line for a tenner a month, I find it's best to go with a big company like direct line as the vets will go ahead with whatever's up knowing they'll get payed as the bigger company's cover for everything and pay up quicker.
Think alot of people have seen the vid of about 6 of them chewing up one hog or the dog vs the doped up puma with no claws and seem to think they're some super dogs that could bring down an Elephant!!
Why when two unrelated lines of gamedogs are purposely put together (battle cross) are the offspring usually better than either parent ? Wouldn't that be hybrid vigour...people wouldn't do these things over and over if there was no truth to it. If it's not hybrid vigour what is it ?
Seeing as lurchers are basically a cross of breeds, from my understanding hybrid vigour must play a good part in the making of good dogs aswell as worker to worker breedings ?
Anyone know any more on the subject or have any examples of dogs past and present ?
Basically what I should have said was that if you started with good health tested stock your more likely to pass down good genes, I was using my phone when I wrote that so I was trying to be to the point.
I've never seen a pedigree for a Greyhound that was line bred. Could you post a link from www.greyhound-data.com of just one line bred greyhound??????
Thanks in advance.
LINEBREEDING
This method is used consistently by breeders. It involves the mating of dogs that are related past the third generation. Usually grandfather to granddaughter or niece to uncle. This method is used by breeders to allow them to amplify a certain trait without the risks of inbreeding.

Haha come on mate, I know how to mix concrete ffs!! Just didn't want to order to much or too little.
Thanks again lads, oh and I'll be sealing the concrete as I lay it so the piss can't destroy it.
worked it out from wickes, delivered it should be around £300 quid!! Its not that I didnt know the mix or how to do it just knowing how much of what to buy. Thanks again.
I was quoted £245 plus vat plus another £300 if I needed the pump as you only get 30 mins to unload from a cement mixer.
