Anyway poxon, yes it is nice to see the more traditional types making a comeback, even if they never really went away ?
-
See, now we have a bit of common ground. I said from the start, how can this ban be policed etc, when it comes to many lurcher lads going about their business quietly with no fuss, and more importantly NOT blabbing to all and sundry and NOT posting pics etc
-
Can I just ask what lurcher type did you start out with?
-
Hey blackie, that's what I meant with my earlier posts. Politics etc had alot to do with the ban, as you will be aware, but it done the lurcher lads moreso than most ?
-
Have never asked f**k all about fleas you deluded muppet!! Lol. Nearly 40?! Lol I've got 20 years on you fella, and been in and around dogs all my life, and trust me, the ban was NOT brought in because people were 'skulking' about lol.
-
I know there is a bit more to the ban than my above post, politcs etc, but that's the gist of it.
-
I thought you were older than what you are, judging your last recent posts lol. You sound about 25, so know not alot in reality. People, myself and several other members on here included,were 'skulking' about with our lurchers decades before a ban was even thought of. The ban came about through egotistical c**ts that know f**k all posting pics etc all over the internet, and ruining many farmer's land, crops, fences etc, in their subarus, 4x4's or whatever, in their pursuit of worthless quarry to kill so that they could show their equally brain dead and gullible sidekicks. Or do you,
-
Owned a couple, and seen quite a few of these at work over the years. And they've all been very good on all quarry, especially on the lamp. Probably the type I favour more than all others
-
So because you saw two lads with lurchers and some rabbits in your town, and no-one said anything to them, everything's fine with lurcherwork in this country eh? Ffs. Facts are about 90% of people in britain are opposed to hunting in any form, even if most of them are not 'really' antis. And it's been getting worse every couple of years since about the late 70's
-
Speckle to the left of those rabbits phil?
-
I think it was like that most places mate. Times, dogmen and dogs have gone downhill alarmingly the last 30 years. And I sometimes think how lucky we were before all the modern day way of conducting yourself came in. Sad, but inevitable I suppose
-
Looks like some decent scran there mate. You eat any of it yourself?
-
I might be wrong here, as I'm mainly going on what these dog's owners have told me. But I've been out with both of em, and the dogs certainly did bag up on the rabbits. But at 30.5""tts and 92lb, one of them certainly looked as though it could've been useful on other quarry ☺
-
Why not? I know a couple of people that own 1st cross deerhound/greyhounds, and they specialise in lamping rabbits
-
Do you think he'd be in the breeding of tor of dartmoor? He was from down that way weren't he?
-
T c, was that an import, or bred from the show stuff over here?
-
Not disputing that bill. I'm saying the beddy crosses I seen at work were probably not trained properly enough on recall etc as youngsters, as the owners weren't really that bothererd. And that lack of training combined with their superb noses, made lamping with them far less than pleasurable. Nothing to do with wind or stamina. Just to add, the two worst I seen on the lamp, were two of the best, of any type, I've seen in the day
-
Bill, you seriously trying to compare a pharoah hound against a galgo?! Tut tut tut
-
Well I think it could well be as the old saying goes, you get out what you put in. The beddy crosses I've seen were owned and worked by what could be said as 'less than demanding' owners. Who knows? But it put me off beddy crosses lol
-
I know this type is 'your type' nl. But the dogs I've seen at work , daytime and lamping, of this type, have been great dogs in the day, but alot more than hard work at nigh, ie lamping. But could well be the owners as much as the cross/type. Because obedience and 'working' with the pups wasn't at the top of their list lol
-
Above post, only going on what I have actually witnessed. Not owned a beddy cross ............. because of said experiences lol
-
Been a few cracking litters of collie/whippets about the last couple of years. 1st cross, 5/8 3/8ths and 3/4 breds. Couple of members on here with em too. Be just as much, if not more use and more versatile and trainable than a beddy cross. Depending on your aspirations and needs I suppose though. No offence to small beddy cross owners. But with lamping listed as a requirement, some of these beddy crosses can be HELL if they miss! Lol. Should also point out, I know collie crosses, or any cross really, can also be hard work if not trained properly with recall etc, especially when lam

Plus, you wouldn't really want your dog to chip a couple of teeth as it struck at the tin, not good
-
Leave em in the tin, easier to roll ☺ ?
