  6. Bulll whippet x saluki bull grey dog pup 9 weeks old £75 to a good home

    in Working Dogs & Livestock

    Posted

    Genuine sale, As above my Bull whippet x saluki bull grey pup is going to have to go, he was biggest dog in litter, all black with white flash on chest. Made the hard decision due to my mrs starting ivf treatment which we did not plan on getting having been refused once, I work away on the rigs and she's adamant now that a baby may be on the way that I can't keep him. Dog is from good stock waited for the right pup for months after visiting various litters I decided he was the one. Mother was 23" tts nice and racy and took reds single pre ban. Sire was owned by a keeper from Shropshire and was a machine doing the lot 24.5"tts bully but lean and racy. I can send pics to mob if intrested, Will take £75 for him I paid 175. Will take an offer but most importantly I want a good home for him where he will be looked after properly and brought on well won't let him go to no idiots. Location is Teesside, north east. Give me a call on 07718911190 thanks lads, wez

  10. Need a concrete base for kennel with drainage bulidng, reccomendations?

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Right decided this is my plan lads. I'm going to have a Run sized 3m x 1.5m. I will be installing drain gullies and a soak away. I will now be installing a concrete base which is sized 3.25m x 1.75m to allow adequate space for run installation. Am I right in thinking that with the above measurements and a concrete thickness of 75mm (3") that I need approx 0.75 ton (750kg) of ballast and 140kg of cement?

     

    The next question is how do I achieve a slope on the base towards the drain? Do I cut the side shutting wood on an angle?

     

    Cheers

    To be honest qbgrey I'm only kennelling one dog as my other two are in the house and like you say I will be picking the shit up anyway so the amount of pee won't be a lot so I'm tempted just to make the slab on a slight gradient and flush away with hose onto grass as this seems like the easiest option. It's just the smell I'm concerned with but I will be keeling it clean and flushing daily so may not be a problem.

     

    The 40kg bags of ballast and cement are these pre mixed?

     

    The area will be 14.5ft x 6.5ft so not sure on quantitys. I will need

     

    Appreciate the help lads, thanks

    Thanks for the advice lads..

     

    Some novice questions... Here goes..

     

    I have one problem being that I live in a mid terrace and access to my back garden can only be accessed through my house or at a push if I speak with next door and remove a fence panel and use his walkway. This means I getting gear in to my back garden is a bit of a chew on.

    If I went down the route of getting a mix dropped off, what would they drop it in? as I would have to take it through in a barrow which may take some time

     

    If I was to hire a mixer and station it in my garden and make my own mix obviously this would take some time to fill my shuttering so would the cement be ok and not set in the time it takes for me to fill the wood work and level it?

     

    Regarding draining this has been doing my nut in because the drain I want to use is the only drain in my garden and this is where the guttering falls in to, this is right up against the wall under my kitchen window, how would I connect into this? Considering The base will be right next to it?

     

    What is a soak away?

     

    Sorry for th daft questions lads but as you can tell I'm no Builder haha!!

  21. This coming season, who's looking forward to it?

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Well everything's well up round my way, crops starting to ripen and the covers thick. As far as huntings concerd its pretty much non existent whilst the young are born and next years sport matures. I've managed to bag the odd bunny with the shotgun whilst it hugs the over grown hedge rows or getting the rare low flying pigeon whilst out mooching with the dogs and gun. However I'm longing for the fields to be cut and the days to shorten so I can get out with my little whippet cross on the Lamp. This will be her first season having just turned 13 month and I have high hopes for her. I'm hoping the months spent socialising and training her come good this coming season and that she provides plenty of game for pot. Who else is looking forward to it and what dogs will you be running? All the best for the coming season lads

  22. Lamps and batteries who's the daddy?

    My pal of here rapidjenky uses the tracer 170 and it's a decent lamp, good enough for most scenarios, I believe it uses a 75w bulb where as the lightforce equivilant the striker uses a 100w bulb, the lightforce throws a tighter beam I think but both good lamps. Wiring will be a lot better in tracer and the variable power dial is also better as lightforce now use 2 buttons which is crap, I have just sent my new one back. As for battery's you won't need any other battery if you go with the 22ah lithium it's brilliant, I have just got one for next season and the size to weight to power ratio compared to sealed lead acid battery's is second to none! My advice go for that set up, im sure you will be impressed

  23. Striker Variable - new models have changed!

    Tried lamp last night with my new battery and it's terrible. The on off buttons have a sequence, if you dim the lamp using the buttons on the back of the lamp then press the on off button rather than switching the lamp off it reverts back to full beam! Then you have to press it again for it to go off! Not impressed at sent it back this morning and will be making sure I get a variable striker with the dial dimmer.

    Just sold my old striker variable as I wanted a new set up for coming season so orderd a new striker variable 170 off eBay for £104 and I'm waiting on a new 22ah lithium. Anyway lamp came this morning and it's completely different to my last one with a dimmer dial on the back, this has now been replaced with two buttons, the on off button does not click on and off as the old model did. From reading the instructions you have to hold it for 0.5 seconds for on/off. Not sure if I like the new style I much preferred the old type, has any body got this type and have any views/ experience with it?
