  2. Bet there was a few about at one point when bedlington x Lurchers were used more as a vermin dog before the bull x craze but I think it’s that people just say if it’s a smooth cross it’s a bull x it simplifies thinks but if rough they’d just say beddy lurcher I think bedlington bull x would a very handy cross if I was only aiming at one target this would be more than likely be my weapon of choice
  3. Dan I think a lot of lurcher lads are in the same boat as what you have described ie family an day to day life plus having a dog that will not get as much action as previous dogs times have definitely changed fella for us all it’s just others are afraid to admit it! Especially over the Internet they feel it’ll damage there lurcher world credibility as a dog man an continue having a number of dogs even though they ain’t got enough work to go round to warrant them all as workers!
  4. I think pups reared on plenty of mutton do good my first litter went through a whole sheep ? with there dam in 6weeks being fed it once a day along side other foods they were lapping mutton mince an powdered lac milk up by 2weeks old of age by 6weeks old I was giving them meaty bone to keep them entertained
  5. Said I’m doing him a good turn but is all I see is him doing me the favours tbh I don’t often get a call asking for much help round his land but the minute a call comes in I drop what I’m doing to go assist
  6. I take mutton or still bornes from a local sheep farmer for free ex breeding stock I get a couple a year off him normally in my deal I’ve got with him normally all I have to do is butcher them he does the rest it’s only when he goes through his stock rather than paying the hunt to collect or taking the mutton to be bought up cheap by pakis cheap at auction I pay for them in Labour or if he needs a hand with anything
  7. I float about on bag crap I feed a hand full a day to each of mine if I’ve no table scraps to give I feed a average of 75% raw the rest scraps or biscuits Im on a bag of skinners working 23 I’ve had the f***ing thing going for like ever I alway check when I buy the food with the longest shelf like because a bag of food last me forever with my 3
  8. How did the pups turn out Dan the man? Here’s your chance for another in a heartbeat ☝?Get on em Dan boy
  9. Dogs always got to have good food regardless of cost fella got to be better than pumping that shit down them out a bag that’s there more for convenience
  10. Should be a handy cross fella what ever way you decided to go as there all already handy crosses to begin with ?? I spoke to a guy a few months ago that dropped a bit of bull blood in to his beddy greyhounds a while ago he said even now with that bit of bull blood as come a long way in the cross it still shows through an the dogs all still look like bedlington xs he said a drop of bull blood goes a long way
  11. I used to get a lot from bulmers it works out about the same price as that but it was only if they are delivering in my area when I order from them it’s a big order to fill my chest freezers up but let it run really low to clear them to the point I shot my self in the foot to be paying eBay shop prices?? With what’s going on in the world at the minute. My dogs are not fussy there yam anything down them they have been to the point we’re there sick of eating rabbit though ??
  12. Most raw dog food suppliers get there products from abattoirs an butchers under contract an flip there waist product in to profit to the likes of us raw feeders the price of raw dog food now takes the piss I’ve no longer got a steady suppler I’ve used a few times eBay shop distributors just to get what I need when stuck I noticed that most beef mince worked out something like £2.26 a 450g block it’s day light robbery human grade is £1.50 for 500g mince in Aldi some of this abattoir butchers waist produce is fetching a premium it’s value is more than human grade
  13. ? mate ??That’s what it’s all about it’s what floats your boat not every other fuckers an what keeps you happy??
  14. Definitely you know ??
  15. A bit sad they’d have to be unemployed an soulless no misses no kids
  16. Here here? same as me mate I’ll get a trip a couple of hours traipsing the fields in the week for a look then at weekend’s I do a decent night out an then a occasional Sunday ferreting trip to wind down I get no numbers of nothing just a steady tick over throughout the season an get them runs in
  17. Nowt wrong with a bit o whippet in bunny busters mate ??Tbh If my game was just rabbit an I need a small dog for hunting them a working whippet dog would be choice of execution I’d rather a straight whippet than a whippet lurcher id never touch a beddy whippet again as it don’t suit my lands no more
  18. Mate that’s also true most the dudes on here give it 7days7nights a week week in week out bull shit! You know point blank there bull shitters from the off it’s all talk to a Internet audience the reality is there more than likely the same as everyone else a couple o nights a week just ticking over like the rest of use an pushing forward
  19. Cheers fella ?? If it works it works mate there’s no denying If it’s doing the jobs the guy got them for. Bull or saluki is my not go to crosses I’ve no personal issues with them crosses there just not for me personally as I favour the more traditional stuff like a bit of collie blood a lot of good beddy blood an abit of deerhound to greyhounds I’m less inclined to want whippet blood in my dog’s anymore
  20. Exactly that mate ???
  21. Yeah they do mate but it’s up to them with there opinion it don’t mean it’s right or wrong but I think it’s all personal preference for individual needs in my instance I can’t an won’t have a dog bred for every Different quarry out there it wouldn’t work out economical to me personally to keep so many different dogs for different jobs giving it the horse’s for courses routine plus all the time you’d have to put in to them dogs plus cost keep them and to give them work I’d rather 1 or 2 dogs of that type to keep ticking over an keep them well. In my eyes one type a trier of all master of none
  22. There be wanting a fight with me in the nearby lay by for £1000?????
  23. I tend to upset a lot of people sadly in this game but that’s never my intention to upset people i lay all cards on the table an give a honest opinion that’s all it is collie an bedlington fan boys are temperamental as f**k they are the worst they won’t let you give a honest opinion how you see the cross even if your running these crosses because they like you to bum these crosses up I even openly grade my own dogs honesty always comes first I look at it like this if you can’t be honest with people you can’t be honest with your self you end up kidding your self an the dog becomes a lie ?? i
  24. Don’t you dare mention Hancock on here ????I’ve seen a couple of half decent collie greyhound x deerhound greyhound??An yes they were Hancock blooded even my own collie blood in my dogs now was a Hancock bred dog ? no good scrap em ??????
