tbh I don’t think none of us English guys could really help as we’ve not got springbuck over here most Lurchers over here are not really a match for a hare most are just general purpose type rabbit dogs lamping/ferreting there are fox dogs over here but most of them are not really speedsters as such there more the heavy set type for the job ideal to be chucked out the back of a motor there are a few racey bred deer dogs about there not a set type same with our all round type dogs there not a set type there just dogs that are masters of none then there’s the hare catchers that tend to be Saluki

Had a few fawn rabbits down our way over the years quite a few Black uns as well a village not to far from me i was driving to go fetch a mate early one morning i was going past a old water works I see what I could only describe as wild looking Dutch rabbits couldn’t believe my eye I’m guessing there were the results of a escape domestic rabbit x

the ability of the bull x as a alrounder
poxon replied to milliken's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Same as any other cross I recon if you can be assed to train them and bring them on in stages I’ve seen a couple of good uns just as effective. Only difference with this cross is most people want a point an aim dog for lamping harder things and in a rush with them entering then when it comes to rabbits there crunched up an have to go chasing the dog to relieve it of the catch ??I think with this cross is a good un tbh in the right hands -
Looks like my old bitch in body how’s it bred mate

Be interesting to see some pup post from people that had pups out the litter.the litter looks good nick litter bet there’s some happy dudes out there

Imagine the saluki guys though the same if there was a f1 Sal/grey finish article they wouldn’t be were they are today they would of folded at the first gate there would be no match dogs like today no lines I think the match guys have got there heads screwed on right tbh best to best to keep the best lines going shame the bedlington greyhound loyalists don’t breed the same ?
-
They are mate this f1 bedlington xpeas in pod stuff cracks me up it’s only based on looks not individual dog there all different.thats it ty the only thing that counts in the dog game is your happy with what ya got??On the Internet it’s all theory’s an small talk nothing more ??Tbh mate I can see you with a deerhound x greyhound given the size of ya ?? I think I’m the same once I can’t get what I need to suit me from heavy bred bedlington bred Lurchers I’ll be having a change of cross I’ll be putting other none traditional blood in there I’m doing less an less ferreting these days an more lam
-
It’s interesting ain’t it Phil an very contradicting at the same time starts by saying the f1 is the finish article an don’t see the benefits of any thing else being added but might take a pup out of a lad that’s coming down from Cumbria if the bitch makes the grade?? Then recites to dogs of yesteryear to enforce his reasoning behind the thoughts that cannot be proved otherwise rather than the here An now sings the dogs praise of being the finished article thats bomb proof around stock and in every aspect of the job yet thinks people are stupid don’t remember nothing An can’t rea
-
I like your honesty mate honesty goes a long way ?? Are you going to use him to breed your own replacements down the road if he’s ticking all you An your mates boxes for what you need be a shame to let a dog that you knows reliable at the job pass on without getting something out of him
-
Nice looking dog fella what would you say your dog lacked in a honest opinion of your dog? Do you use him just as a rabbiting dog ?
-
I know A couple of people that have got there selfs on land through joining a shoot beating team showing how adaptable Lurchers can be as retrieving dogs An showing how well trained they can be it’s opened up door ways to land to run dogs on But I suppose it’s comes down to if you want to join the beating line ive a couple of little to reasonable spots to lamp an ferret me an a mate we share all our decent spots between us both were both in agreement that we won’t take anyone out no more that’s not in our very small circle on them or open mouths were they are ones a large farm that’s pe

Just a teaser for ya socks ? get reading old son worth having a good read then make your own mind up
-
Get ya Sen on google do your self a bit of homework on the benefits of feeding it??

I think bill is on about if the dog is taking in any thing contaminated. Everything ends up in the blood stream that a body takes in as been said before tripe has the effect of being a boost for the digestive system with good bacteria’s so there for in bills words cleanses bloods ffs is it only me on here that can understand what bills getting at or on about ???
-
Mate I wouldn’t hear the end of it if i did! I’m surprised her in doors didn’t make me put me slippers on ? cheers fella you to mate??
-
Cheers mate sire at the top dam at the bottom the dam is a bitch I bred
-
Should be spot on mate ??She’s 23tts mate I thought this black pup would make 23 possible at a push 24tts but I recon I could end up more 24-25tts just how she’s growing I thought with the heights of the family linkage on both sides of the breeding being predominantly bedlington greyhound on both sides I didn’t think they would be big as there’s a little bit more bedlington in there than a 1/4 should do me lovely though either way
-
Excellent stuff ??Younger than I thought ???
-
I think she’s 17-18weeks old mate I’m useless at keeping track I have to write everything down on a calendar ?
-
So the season is slowly starting to kick in I think my bitch is somewhere near fit enough now to start getting a few runs behind her I’ve started visiting a few of a family members pasture fields nothing major mainly just a little walk with a lamp I can walk it in under half hour it takes me longer getting to the spot ?but just a quick look about to see what’s there there’s no numbers but a few about I’m not in to glory photos but always take one photo of the first catch of the season here’s my first catch’s of the season it will be my last lol both back live to hand I’m surprise the bitch rem

I feed mine 4-5 times a day I do a ratio of mixed 75% raw an 25% kibble (beta puppy) works well for me I try An bang as much grub down as the pup will eat seems to be working for me

The purest are not gunner like that statement young fred ?? bitzas or scatter bred is there favoured terms for calling them the only difference between these bitzas or scattered breds as there called are thay are producing what the f1 is suppose to be doing more readily than the f1s ?? I do value a good f1 though but very hard to find
