How many digs she had mate? If its something you was really wanting to do n was going to keep all the pups to see how they go then cant really go wrong, only thing I would worry about is how you would feel if the bitch threw the towel in?
-
my mothers got a little jackrusell nothing more than her pet! cleverest little fu(ker ive ever seen! its nearly 8years old! i am sure i could teach it to do somthing within a week if i wanted to! Also depends in my opinion how much the dog wants to please you!
-
stock training could be your biggest problem! good luck all the same!
-
Thanks for the info! Always nice to see what others are thinking.

i probably would as well,it would be as close as possible to what you originally wanted to do,but just because 2 dogs are off the same breeding dosent mean they are of the same bloodline-i.e they could throw very different pups. Even tho the two dogs in question are litter brother's, and the bloodline has been kept as close as possible over many generations. Sure the pups being thrown would not being that different? I am no expert and correct me if i am wrong!

Happy New Year to everybody! This one has tickled me for a while! Say for example you keep two well bred terrier pups out of a litter. With the bloodline being pretty much pure as it can get! Say for instance pup 1 turns out to be excellent worker and after 4-5 seasons work, you plan to breed of him. One day your out hunting and before you get the chance to breed of him you lose him to ground. Now pup 2 for whatever reason has not being worked and he is the only option of carring this part of the line forwards, be it his mother has died or what ever ect .... Would you use him

Nice set up pal! Dog aint to bad either!
-
You see that a lot in the EDRD mag! not saying that the dogs are bad its just see a story about this or that lurcher and low and behold pups for sale in the next months mag! Its like feck me that was handy! if it was six months or a year later fair enough! good dogs do not need advertising they are gone and the best stuff around can never be bought does not matter how many £000000 are at the end of the cheque! Fact

really nice pup! i like it a lot! Do the parents work everything? The father looks a really handy type of dog!
-
bull whippet 50-75 yards then bull grey all the way! Thanks for the reply's! Just out of interest 'Ruby Jet' what's the make up of the bitch? hows her dam and sire bred? I really like the look of her!
-
Lovely looking bitch there! speed wise would you say a bull whippet would hold an advantage over a bull greyhound over say the first 50 odd yards?
-
This has had me thinking for a while now. What are advantages of having a bull/whippet over a bull/geyhound as a terrier man's dog. Drawing work and covering the bolters. Seen a very gd bull/whippet work when digging mostly drawing work, but cant see the advantages of having 1 over a bull/greyhound. I do not want this to turn into a slaging match between the two breed fanciers i just want to find out the pros and cons of both types of lurchers as terriers mans dogs. Or if its the other way the advantages of the bull/whippet over a bull/greyhound? I look forward to hearing some honest opinion
-
seen a little 1st x bitch bitch cant have been more than 19" shoulder, a really good bitch to take diggin with, hard and strong. neva seen her run after something thats bolted. but the boys digging are quite keen and not many get away once put to ground!
-
i have a kelpi x collie bitch pup at the moment about 5months old! she has been easy to train! and loves to please! she's been trying to work sheep around the yard since 10 weeks old! keen and as sharp as a whistle! her temperement is spot on good with other dogs and people! to be honest the best £40 ive ever spent! shes keen on mustard on rats now come close a few times not caught 1 yet that i know of! her main job will be sheep, but i will be taking her out hunting to see whats shes like, my plan in a few years time is putting a gd track greyhound over here or a good first cross deerxgrey.

Mine are kept in a 9" hollow block shed with corrugated zink roof. Not the warmest of places in this weather but its draughproof. Each dog has a bed filled deep it straw and they are fine! dount make them soft with the heat lamps! my terriers only ever see the heat lamp where theres a litter of pups just born! or when theve had a hard day at the office!

get a pair of welsh hounds! good voice, nose, coat, will hunt any sort of cover! and will hunt day and night! no stopping then!
-
Mate personally would not bother! i have been stung there allready! bought a pup of him must be 3 years ago, i had to shoot it before it reached a year old. its internall organs hungs/heart were f****d! and this money back guarntee that he states that if they dount not work is rubbish! i sent him two different vet reports and after 6 phone calls he reluctantly gave back half the money! i had spent a lot of time and money into this pup and gave it the best of everything and a man of repute to do something like this really had me thinking 1 thing! He does not care about the dogs just in it n

i have an l200 4 work 07 model, with road tyres and no canopy on the back i was getting combined 36mpg. i had measured it serveral times and that was the average. since then i have put a canopy on and at2 allterain tyres and the millage is down to the 33 mark. but this is all road work with no 4x4! when out yesterday pretty much 4x4 all day and it loved the juice, but saying that the truck had to work a dam sight harder! if doing a lot of towing and hard work get it chipped as it improves the fuel performance. a mate had his chipped and he sweared it made a hell of a difference. i havnt chippe
