Best dog i ever had the pleasure to see work was a saluki x
Although thinking about it one of the worse i ever saw was a saluki cross as well
go figure !Bull x'x and saluki x's each have their merits , plus points and drawbacks
Some of the best are bitsa lurchers and sundry crosses with bit of this bit of that , cross wouldnt worry me too much as long as its good worker to worker and even then its all down to luck of the draw !
I do like to see a nice bull cross though , magnificent animals when in their prime

My dogs also saluki/whippet with a healthy dose of greyxcollie somewhere in the mix . The change in running style from five months untill they mature can be great , mine still ran like a pup at 9months . His pace now is bloody fast and he's turned into a real point and shoot dog off the slip , let it mature at its own pace and mentally let it grow up as well , id worry more about that at the mo than the physical

I get what your saying
is there any other electric type heating system that could replace them and cut costs ???
-
She's said she will pay for a new bathroom suit as long as i pay for installation , obviously any new heating would be expensive but i'm wondering weather i should ask if she pays some towards it and i pay the rest and fitting we can have a different heating system in ?
Just dont want all my money going on something un efficient ??

Hi all
just moved into a new property over the weekend , nice little place but first time i,ve had or used storage heaters ????
Were on a meter also and i just stuck 20 quid on and was shocked how much the storage heaters used over night ?!!!!??!!!
There quite old probably 70's i imagine and landlady did say she would replace so are new ones more efficient or is there other options instead of brick storage heaters ?
Also is it worth having the meter taken out and having a monthly bill ?
Do electric company's charge you more when your PAYG or is that just a myth ???

Great post Catchwrestler....that's what it's all about!
Sadly she had to be pts in the end due to cancer but great memorys walking out with her , i wish my current lurcher had a few of her quality's

Just going to add my 2 pence worth about bull blood
When i first happened upon this forum i was heavily into air gun shooting and wasn't really into working dogs/lurcher's although my old man had run them for a few years .
The bull breeds section was still running and i happened that i had a small staffy bitch just coming up 12 months that i'd rehomed , nice and athletic more terrier than staffy in my opinion .
After many hours reading about people working there bull breeds i was itching to give her a try , had plenty of fun with her and even used her as a ferreting dog she had a really good nose and would mark well , ok i wont kid any of you that she was a marvel but in tight bush she did catch and hold a few and would retrieve to hand .
Had a couple of foxes with her one memorable one when we were ferreting and she marked a tight patch of blackthawn and proceeded to dive in and dispatch a young dog fox .
Ratting was fun and i cleared my brothers chicken pens with her and the ferrets , not anywhere near as good as a jack russel or other such terrier but she caught a few and i was happy with her and my admiration of bull blood has grown especially their brains , staffys defiantly add brains to a cross as they are not thick and training her was a doddle .
Maybe i was just lucky and she was a one off but i wouldnt hesitate getting another if i could find a small athletic type again
Thanks for reading

get a camera up and a big mutt running free in the yard
I had a good yard dog a few years back , a massive bull cross never had anyone in the yard !
Just shit that you gotta go to those sort of measures to keep your animals secure

This is to anybody who resides in the Grantham , Stamford Sleaford area of lincs just caught 3 men snooping in my yard where my dogs are .
I know there has been a lot of postings on Fb and the like about this but this is genuine , there in a late ford transit swb van white probably 57/58 plate didn't get a real good look at that .
So to anyone in my area be on your guard !

They look lovely warrens to work
cracking weather as well mate ! -
greys are fine without ndoudt we wooldnt have the lurchers we have today without them , but;; they are generally heavly muscled and fast twitch muscles for accelaration , and do suffer with lactic acid build up .and generally not desighned for stamina .thats why we cross them !!! .there will allways be exeptions ,if you find one with both you may well have a winner in the field
Thats my point maybe if we strove to breed this sort of grey maybe we would have a even better lurcher !

Before i start this is not a dig at any breed of dog just something that popped into my head that i thought would start a good topic !
The whippet as a breed has had a surge recently as probably one of the most talked about and used breeds recently but i got to thinking is the greyhound any different really to a whippet ?
People have been tricked into thinking that greyhounds are intractible simpletons by certain authors and fed stories of their poor stamina lack of nose and poor feet , but are we being blind to the fact we have a animal that is the result of thousands of years breeding and could given the chance be a very good working animal capable of most tasks of a lurcher out in the field ?
Yes they will get injured occasionally due to their phenominal speed sometimes , maybe they aint as sharp witted as a collie cross but just think about it for a minute , even with the few shorcomings they do have they are still the base of lurchers and a damn fine animal that maybe we should try and continue to evolve to our hunting needs .

The terrier hasn't been pts, it's at a mates house to be used to mark when ferreting ( one thing he is good at) if it doesn't work out the dog comes back to be to be pts.
Respect for giving it a chance for some other work mate
Youve given it every opportunity to come good , hopefully you might be able to find a replacement for the season

I use the leather garden gloves from b&q , can never understand why a lot refuse to wear gloves ?
Saves a hell of a lot of nettle stings and digging out blackthorns , why make it difficult for yourself !

straight whippet or beddy grey !
Whippet is already a good rabbit dog , intelligent , good nose handy lamping and ferret dog .
Beddy grey , the consummate all rounder fur and feather
