The shame is that the ban has glamorised hunting with dogs for certain groups of people, now it's illegal these people are getting their kicks from sticking two fingers up at the law, not the pursuit itself. Killing for killings sake. totally agree with you there mate, like pitbulls for example, i wonder how many chavs would have one if they were leagl, its a shame the small minority of dickheads will ruin it for us all

iv got the striker with the deben battery belt and am very happy with it, like turbotyke said the cigar jack kept looseing connection, i thought it was a wireing problem at first, i just pushed it in hard while i got someone to tape it up with electrical tape, job done never had a problem since

whippet whippet x greyhound saluki x whippet saluki x whippet greyhound collie x greyhound collie x whippet collie x grey x saluki x whippet collie xs aint exactly coursing dog but will take hare and make good ferreting dogs plus are easy to train, saluki xs aint most peoples first choice as a ferreting dog but are exellent coursing dogs but can somtimes be stubborn. just my opinion mate but id go for a dog with saluki and collie in the mix with a bit of whippet to keep the size down sam

mabey use a rabbit skin dummy, you could tie it to a bit of rope to swing it around or run with it it may help with picking up, also use it to get the dog to retrive the dummy
