Yet your stupid enough to put pictures up of fox that’s clearly been taken by dogs ?? With a dog stood over it nice work ??(Probably the only one your dogs have taken that why you’ve got the picture to give your ego a little rub and to add to media when you want to try an doop people in to think your scouring the land and taking them left right an centre????) you can’t use the shot with guns line when your there trying to prove to the world of the hunting life your dogs worth to people as a point Like I said no picture didn’t happen! your a poo waffler fella if this 20hares happened but cl

How can it offend me I care not what other men/women have got or run it makes no difference to What I keep as what I keep suits me right to the ground but if I was the sensitive type I’d truely offered by this comment young man may the minshaw legend live on my friend an may the bear foot legend be started ??

I think the problem with this minshaw bred bullshit is everyone fantasises about the dogs of yesteryear an live off legends yeah they were probably good dogs back then when there was plenty of gear to run them at an lack of work available to most common country men so plenty of time out in the country but times were different and times change I see there’s a lot of old guys still wanking over the name minshaw lurcher but I still find it kind of ironic that all these guys give the impression they know a good dog they know there way round a dog an only keep good dogs yet don’t have a direct lin

You mean nonce shaw! This as killed me finding out the guy as the same amount of prey drive as the dogs he peddling under his brand name.

I used to see the minshaw name bummed around in the bull lurcher brigade a lot like they were some kind of special lurcher that only the real lurcher men could own like a farrari of the lurcher world lol but same said people always had there little brigade of little bummers bumming dogs up just before a litter was put on the ground ironically that the name minshaw get thrown around just as a litter was due An people thought they were buying in to something special but in reality they were just buying a lurcher no better bred than next mans bred bull x that wanted the pups off his hands soon a

Opinions on the Norfolk lurcher?
poxon replied to Daisy the destroyer's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I liked the replay by two crows about people not traveling to far be it dog,horse,canary each county had its own type I agree fella ??. It’s got me thinking more because people always say dogs back then were good real tough as old boots type that could fill the larder regular an kept it full but in modern times were hard pushed to keep continuous good dogs for the job it’s always hit an miss in modern times when one dogs carrer as ended getting the next pup to bring on to take the dogs place it’s got me thinking that county bred dogs being so close related had something to do with it almost li -
Mate bull is not my flavour but it makes sense in this cross why as there’s far more bull xs out there doing the job so makes perfect sense to me ??

I’d think they would be a handy cross if the ingredients in the melting pot was right but I think finding a decent deerhound x greyhound that was actually any good an worth breeding out of same goes for bedlington x greyhounds would be a achievement in its own right but every time I see this sort of x advertised it’s always from peddlers or bred from show dogs that have done feck all because they have to many dogs on the go but will try there luck to blag that there decent work dogs just to make sales out of pups I’ve not seen this x advertised for a while now thankfully but couldn’t say I’d
-
Not my cuppa T think they would be to slow for my ends as second chances are not given or offered but I think they would make handy dogs for any one wanting to start a line of collie greyhounds far better to use one of these as a stud if there working than half the so called working collies out there that only work a couple of pet sheep for trials I personally think this litter would make good breeding stock dogs tbh for anyone wanting to get a decent line of the ground for there needs

That’s the base I done for my kennels mate it’s nothing special but works well enough I used reclaimed slabs that the edges of the slabs taper so I could point them up there layed on a heavy mixed screed with a good base of compacted hardcore underneath. my drainage is a soak away because my foul drainage is right down the garden my back garden as no access for machinery An would be to big a job to tap in an dig out a waist to run down there I’d have to go through the paths An the patios just to get down there before tapping in so settled for a soakaway I had to dig a trench about 20ft or so o
-
Just have a aco drain (cheap as chips on eBay shop) at your lowest point that your base of your kennels runs to or is flowing to like the stuff they have on drive ways with the metal grids on top then run it to a soak away I think I remember you saying your kennels were 10x6 so your soak away you’re get away with 1m square by a meter or so deep as that area is never gonna produce enough water to to fill an flood it

More than enough collie blood I recon for us simpletons An still shows it’s presents in the hybrid

Only as young as the woman ya feel fella ??Never to old it’s having active dogs that require a good time out on the land that keeps us active fit An keen an young it’s when we admit we’re getting long in the tooth that we physically An mentally want to slow up and admit it’s time for slower dogs

Stupid question mooch Why reverse bred if the dog you have now will do the job you want as that’s why you went for that cross in the first place it’s almost like saying it’s incapable of doing what I originally got the dog for so I’ll backwards step it to try to correct/fix the error I made to make it right. This is not me trying to crank you or trying to be a clown ?or out but the dog you have there fits the bill for what you say you need for what you’ve described that’s what it’s bred for being a f1 master of none type with more opportunities/experience in the job you require your dog will

theres been big cat sighting near me over the years 2009 was the first on a local golf course one morning there’s also been sightings round all the local villages to me in that area as it’s all wood land and open land that joins from village to village even my own village as had a few people saying they’ve seen big cats but I’ve seen feck all over the years not even in my new village I’m in now but you would of thought that a lamper is more likely to bump in to stuff scouring larger land an wood lines at night with a beam of light the only sighting I’ve seen when entering some land one night/

I personally recon it’s more down to ease of just lining a whippet more than any thing Troyboy most these people that have whippets have a bedlington kicking about I mean they don’t take up much room doing litters of bedlington x whippets being a small x far less room than having cast greyhounds kicking about that only come in season every year we’re as whippets are some times twice a year more bang for the buck

No you just didn’t Raz clot!

What I was trying to get at as a point about bedlington types is this most people that out cross is because something is lacking ie saying they want a dog for ground work as a instance so they out cross an it produces a dog that does the job in hand yet a kc is so hit an miss here is a question for you Dan boi I know your answer honest from a work man point of view If you had to take a bedlington x on as a working dog let’s say f1 bedlington x greyhound As a mix bag dog A) kc bedlington that the owner walks around with An does a bit of bushing or possibly ferreting with x ex track
-
The bedlington started as a cross any way before it become standardised as a breed rather than a type so what difference does it make kind of ironic that people with bedlingtons are trying An failing to breed back to dogs of old An how they were back in the day that were half decent but you can get a modern cross bred bedlington that will do the job that the bedlington can’t ? your point was originally about size give over fella even with kc bedlingtons they can’t control size up to 19tts ?if it looks like a bedlington An does what a bedlington is claimed to be it’s a bedlington a true type on
