Mine have always been chilled,,,,,,,regular exercise sorts them out.

Funny that, couldn't believe her the other day when she took herself for a dip in a pond...she even swam for a second or two.....I had to do a double take......I suppose they all have their foibles.
-
Wow....haven't heard that one before....... Bloody awful when they slip their collar like that, mine shot out of the woods the other day towards a main road when a fat Labrador came near her.

Sorted, i'll get her an umbrella...... Something along these lines.... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://seymourdogumbrella.com/wp-content/gallery/resized/IMG_1059.JPG&imgrefurl=http://seymourdogumbrella.com/&h=712&w=950&tbnid=xf--B0bDMXUNTM:&zoom=1&docid=FyE-53ygObRt0M&hl=en-gb&ei=5rBKU9njOeeK0AXG44HIDw&tbm=isch&client=safari&ved=0CFIQhBwwCw

No.......when hunting....couldn't give two monkeys what she does in the park. All the dogs I've had rain doesn't bother them at all when working. Put a rabbit in front of this bitch in the wet and yes she'd chase it of course, but hunt for one in bad weather which is what I'm talking about.....then like I said very different story.

Working lurcher x working lurcher..... You've seen the dam n sire....good proven workers, so your satisfied with your choice and pick your pup.......after putting your all into it etc only to discover it doesn't like wet cold weather! Now, I get my kicks from seeing my dogs hunt up and chasing the odd rabbit and pheasant..simple, I don't have to catch to have a good day ( those says are long gone), so I think I'm quite easily pleased. Thing is my 2 year old bitch is very sensitive and has been since a pup, I have worked to her strengths and built her confidence, but to give you an example

The collies and collie lurchers I've worked have varied massively in their style and drive to get hold of what there chasing..... And anybody who has worked a few will know this. Thing is you really need to start with the right collie.....and if you don't it's a lottery.
-
I found when mine were young they seemed to go through a period of ignorance......especially one particular one if she knew I was heading back to the car she was off. It's good been very keen but it still needs to be controlled otherwise each walk out is a pain in the neck. Me, I would take it no where near any rabbits till next season if that's at all possible and just work at some simple recall/bonding and all that sort of stuff and then slowly reintroduce and recall regularly just to drill it in. I've found they do listen much better when there a little older if worked on when younger. It'

I would hazard a guess that the pup has lots of potential. Your worrying when there's no need to. Slow down, let it be a pup. You've only owned it a week and worrying that it's not showing potential. Just let experience new things slowly......don't get frustrated. Seriously just let it be a pup. When you've built yours dogs confidence up do you know anybody else who bushes that you could take your dog with?
-
thankyou yes I'm in no rush been walking around hedges but like I said she seems pritty nervous of them she scared to walk around and past rough ground any tips thabks chad How old is she and how long you owned her for?
-
Did you say she's 6 months....,, when I got my first jack russelI pup I was only young and expected too much too soon...tending to think the fault was with the pup, which it wasn't.....I used to push it too forcefully in the right direction of the rabbits, getting pissed off with the young dog.....don't make the mistake I did. Chill out and take your time walk around hedgerows where you know there's rabbits, in time the penny will drop. Give her plenty of fuss....no shouting through been frustrated that she's not yet doing what you expect her to be doing. If she is just 6 months then the mak

Why ever someone wants a large whippet I'll never know. The only advantage of greater height is when the dog looks down the beam. What you gain in one hand you lose in the other.
-
Where I work mine there is little game, they're from twelfth generation non working stock, perfect for rabbiting...working the brambles and thick cover........suits me. I've found the earlier in the day they put something up the more keyed up they are and seem to push on a bit harder. I've had times where I've felt like jumping into the brambles my self as mine do not work every bit of cover, wishing I had a dog that did, but usually that's just me been a dick. I know some people say terriers will work cover regardless, but mine certainly don't. I'm pretty sure if your jacks hit a fresh scent

I can appreciate that but a half cross collie grey is far from "super fast" so when do you think more than half collie is required? Your bitch is 5/8 collie 3/8 grey if I remember right? And I know a lot of the litter are doing well. Do you think that if she was a half collie instead of 5/8 she would be too fast? Or not robust enough? Or not clever enough? Just trying to see both sides of it. It's obviously dogs for jobs and dogs for different people. For some lads one of these collie saturated lurchers would need going over a pure sighthound to suit them and what they so. I certainly t

Cheaper the better if I'm buying one.. I haven't got money to burn. The price people are willing to pay for a dog has no relationship to the quality of life they offer to it.
-
Or Miniature Pinscher.......or......Doberman..... Only joking,,,, lovely looking dog.

Personally I use old small lap dog style jack russells, most people wouldn't glance twice at them, but they will work any thick cover to push rabbits and pheasants out, switch off at home, have a nice steady pace to them when working, and while there's always a chance they will pop down under I find them the least likely to be inclined compared to some other breeds that have a bit more fire in there belly. I know some favour plummers, others spaniels or spaniel/ terriers etc..depending on the land they work etc.

Have you been on the working bedlington site? If you don't want it to pop to ground consider something else.

Don't get carried away thinking about how many lumens a torch is. It has nothing to do with the amount of light you see on the target.

Nice size. Sure there's no greyhound in there somewhere, just seem big for 3/4 whippet.. Lovely though.

Oh my god.

Anybody who takes a risk with cheap 18650 batteries are crazy...risking your torch been like a pipe bomb, especially if you run two batteries together. 18650 batteries need looking after.

Bet they make cracking little dogs, can't understand why springer isn't used more often in lurcher breeding.
