Some are mate have you seen some of the people in the Lurcher game these days thick as pig shit ??
-
I’ve got a collie bedlington hybrid here that don’t get involved with retrieveing shot ?in my eyes that’s lack of heart an a complete fanny! An no it don’t mean there clever it means there a coward an not to be bred from to continue lines on
-
I’m of the same opinion I’d no longer add any collie blood back in to my dogs it’d take away rather than add any traits that are useful to me or I need now
-
Your probably right mate it might not be the collie blood it might be how it’s been bought on I’ve just given my 2pence worth in what I’ve had or seen An blokes I know that were collie x men they’ll all say the same thing you’ve got to have that sturdy head on your shoulders because there rack your brains at times but same could be said about most crosses tbh

Lucky escape mate ?? Could of been a expensive mooch about

You might be better off waiting till next season now mate till there a few more green rabbits about that way you can drop right on top of them before slipping gaining good lamping confidence in your young dog no point in long slipping at this time of year the season’s done the rabbits are the survivors of the winter slog they know exactly what the crack is an they know exactly we’re there heading I alway start dogs on squatters to try give them the best chance of a catch I’ll not slip young dogs on rabbits sat down hedge lines if there not sat out in the field an I can’t get between were there

I’ve always had better luck with a half decent size dog than a little un I feel to restricted with little dogs a good mid way between both will do what a big un an little un will do gives you more options than restrictions
-
Could be bored of going to the same spot doing the same routine daily obviously a pretty clever dog as he remembers his way home but the reason probably why he ain’t coming to you when called is you just ain’t no fun to him Walking the same routine as horrible as that sounds more fun to be had at home with the kids This covid 19 social distancing is no good for dogs it’s completely changed all habits my young bitch as picked a nasty habit of barking at other dogs I’m there pulling her away to keep 2m apart that makes her think she’s got to run her mouth at them my dogs are usually very
-
Wouldn’t be for me ray having a dog for one job Of that breeding tbh but be interesting cross. a lad in our click was on about if his bitch turns out any good Down the road he’ll go to a courseing dog as his land is big an has plenty of them fast bunnies kicking about
-
you know as well as me if it’s not a 28tts an up line bred bull greyhound that looks like it’s been on steroids it’s incapable? I know a 24tts bitch that’s put a good few fallow to bed now if they’ve got it they’ve got it there’s no denying ?? Got a pup out of said bitch but in my hands it’ll not have a scratch on the dams capabilities
-
The subject was deer in general it didn’t specify on the title of the thread that it was just fallow or sika deer or out an out deer dogs. I was on about roe an muntjac As deer in general that’s still a achievement for such a small bitch of 21tts how many 21tts dogs do you know that are more than rabbit dogs. There’s no denying a dog/bitches capability’s if there dropping fallow or sika saying they need to be Say a set size weight hight would be foolish ability comes in all shapes an sizes were all here just giving a opinion on what we see as suitable because none of us can say as a set in sto
-
Yep but not intentionally with a fast old 26tts collie x same bitch I’d ferret in the same woodland all my dogs were used to woodland running at one time
-
I’m not really a saluki fan or do I have any thing at all against them there just not my bag but what I’ve seen an heard is a lot of people say is with Salukis there all different with how the breeding of them goes they all have different running styles an builds tbh I couldn’t see why a saluki or a saluki x shouldn’t do deer if it’s got the heart for it ?? A mate of mine used to have a bitch that was 21tts not really a heavy built bitch at all fine an racey she was a proper bitza bred collie deerhound greyhound whippet that little dog was forever nocking them over with ease not really the
-
Tbh honest this lock down hasn’t been to bad my kids have been alright an doing there homework on time I’ve been getting paid to spend time with them witch is a big bonus it’s something money can’t really buy although I like working an love a bit of coin it’s opened my eyes a little how little I need to be earning to get by in life and be happy by selling my time just for coin to get by it’s also come to my attention that I’m antisocial as feck because the lockdown hasn’t effected me much at all to be honest if this lockdown was still in place for another 6-8 weeks I’d not be to bothered one
-
One thing I’ve not seen in any numbers out this way is badgers seen the odd one we’re I lived before they were everywhere the f***ing things would spoil some spots you dropped on for a shine but still nice to see same as all the other wildlife about it’s all nice to see. Got the same problem with the cartwheeling the sight of fox sends her in to overdrive one taster it’s been like a light switch we’re as any thing else is a tight lead that we see like I’m game for a run I’m hoping it’s a good sign of good things to come. Bet them trail cams are good not just for wildlife spotting ?
-
Same in the lurcher game all a short straws game an if the big man is on your side??
-
Cheers mate I hope I have that luck an on the dog front that nothing happens in between ??Got my fingers crossed ??
-
It does sound good mate I’ve my fingers crossed but I’ve had fulse hope before finding a decent spot that was holding decent numbers on the rabbit front to be wiped out a couple of months before the season started by that vhd1 virus I was finding dead perfect condition rabbits everywhere it was a sickner because I was hoping to get a really good rabbit catch dog that could rack up some decent numbers in a night
-
Out for a little wonder yesterday late afternoon early evening I was very surprised at the amount of wildlife I see about in one sitting I’ve seen the odd couple of rabbits on my stomping ground recently a few deer here an there the odd fox but decided I’d make it a decent walk with the dogs to unfamiliar territory I crossed out the valley probably 2 villages or so away I was completely shocked at the amount of stuff I was seeing I must of seen 50 or so rabbits easy loads of young rabbit kitts playing about roe an fox plenty of pheasants an even a hedge hog that’s the most rabbits I’ve seen in
-
The problem is to many people go of that old video purdys progress as a time scale when pups should be doing stuff as a gospel it’s pumped out all over the Internet by fellas at this age it should be doing this that an the other
-
Good luck an all that ?? how could the lad not know the bitch was in heat in the first place A bitch that’s in heat or coming out of heat let’s it known an so will the dog also especially if he’s a experienced dog that’s been used at stud if it’s unplanned get the bitch jabbed got to be better than putting more pups out there no matter what names are in the breeding
-
Smart ??
-
Robot dog??
-
Bloody hell mate the whole litter?
-
The way backwards! excellent sales pitch of breeding to try an relieve some one of a near £800 no mention on what the parents worked or how they worked or age just talk of pedigree An trying to fool the gullible there be buying in to something special an will end up with something special
