    Show your son this clip of my dog winning the 40lb scratch championships about 14/15 yrs ago he's in the black jacket Pemslad (Zak) he weighed 38lbs, he also ran off againt the no weight limit class winner & won that making him supreme scratch winner & braking the track record https://youtu.be/hDHZGsKW-4w Cracking that . What distance was that over?

    Very nice pups them. I like the physical attributes of beardies, but mentally they've been far too quirky for me. Well, in the lurchers I've owned and seen anyway. But I still like them lol.

    Do they lob that out of the car as well, because it lacks pace and stamina?
  5. shaaark
    lol. i bet the next sentence was you need to put him on a special diet, weve got just the right stuff here at only £75 a bag or summit f***ing daft. daniel G, the pup looks fine to me. nowt wrong with a good covering on a pup. Lol was going to say exactly the same thing earlier lol, fleecing b*****ds

    As the lads have said mate, pup, and his sister, look spot on. What 6 month old pups should look like

    I know pups fine down as they get older, I just said that. And I know what your saying, but she wasn't too heavy, and at 25.5kg, or 56.1lb at 24.5" at 6 months, I don't think DanielG's pup is too heavy either. But again like you say, it's impossible to say without seeing the pup. Just the way some pups are, some are heavier than others, even from the same litter and sex, especially regarding lurchers and crossbreeds. His pup has got probably another 2-3 inches to go yet, and will 'probably' level out around the 65lb mark I would imagine.

    @ sowhat, but obviously anyone can answer lol, but whippets in general, pures and racing types, well maybe not so much racing types or grews. Do you find them faster or slower in general than whippets of say15-20 years ago? I've owned a few whippets over the years, last one about 15 years ago, and they all seemed faster than the dogs around today. Plus, I've been arguing with my lad about the speed of whippets compared to some lurchers, and he's adamant that the whippets he's seen are slow?

    What cross was the bitch shark ...... Sire was 1st x collie/grey and dam was 1st x deer/grey. I know it's a different type, just saying most pups in general do fine down a bit as they get older
  11. shaaark
    Sounds ok to me. I wouldn't worry about it, he'll fine down a bit as he gets a bit older. Bitch I had a few years back, a fraction under 29" tts, was 80lb at 12 months, and ended up at 72lb fit running weight, give or take about 1lb either way

    lmao I'm done with it, some should learn too read properly before coming on here lmao I'm done with it, some should learn too read properly before coming on here OK mate Lol I think alot on this site need to learn to read properly AND leave school, before coming on here! Lol . That's me done for a while. Right, I'm away to walk me canary

    But I'm not understanding why the saluki still? Why and how would it be better than a racey bull greyhound?? From personal experience a fox should be turned no more than 4 maybe 5 times at the max that's with an experienced dog, stamina is not needed for a run on a fox imo, before the ban on more than one occasion I have ran a bull greyhound on a fox caught it killed it by the time iv got to them iv put the dog on the slip and got into the next field bang same again, iv gone out before ran a fox at 10pm caught and killed it walked for miles having runs in between and then caught another fox at

    I think this is the beauty and versatility of all the various crosses or types. Like I said in the 'favourite cross' thread, everyone will have their own favourite, doesn't matter if it's 'the best', you'll still prefer 'your' type, Most proper lurcher and longdog types will catch most quarry in britain, doesn't matter if it's not 'the best'. I've always favoured dogs with deerhound and collie in, took everything I wanted, couldn't give a flying f**k if they were the best. But I couldn't own a bull cross or beddy cross! Lol Anyway, wasn't the original question in this thread Saluki

    Just to be clear lads, I wasn't running the bitch down, but 9.3 secs seemed awfully slow. Now the correct distance, and the situation as regards trap experience etc is clearer it makes more sense lol. And she is a lovely bitch, liked the whole litter when REW put up the pics as pups etc. Atb lads
  16. shaaark
    You sure the stopwatch is working correctly?! 9.3 seconds over 100 metres is slow as f**k. Nice bitch though. Or is she not really trying that much? Some dogs don't chase a lure as keenly as they do live quarry
  17. shaaark
    like your choices mate good xs As with everything fieldsport orientated though, you'll probably get about 20 different answers for more or less the same activity lol. I think it really just boils down to the type you fancy at the end of the day. Saluki x's, brain dead. Collie x's, no drive. Beddy x's, too headstrong,.......... piffle! If you like a type enough, you'll make a pretty good dog out of it, regardless of how it's bred. I'm talking general sort of work mind, not specialist tasks
  18. shaaark
    Deer/grey x collie/grey. Or collie/grey x whip/grey. Or grey/collie/grey. Or a combination of said types

    I'm getting well over 120 shots wiyh h+n ftt and over 130 with aa fields. Accuracy is incredible, quietest pcp I've shot or heard. and perfect weight for me. Mine's going nowhere

    Can only echo what gaz said really. Far too many people with working dogs, terriers, gundogs and lurchers, moan about the cost of equipment, food, the cost of pups etc, it's a bit silly. Lloydy sounds like he knows what he's doing, and is asking people that do alot of lamping for their input/thoughts. Hope it works out for you mate
  21. shaaark
    True that fella. They are definitely more of a thinking man's type of dog
  22. shaaark
    Superb analyzation. That's exactly how my old dog was. But you explained it FAR better than I could have! Lol
  23. shaaark
    Yeah, mine was too slow. In his first two season's work he caught me a couple of hundred hares and dozens of fallow and roe. Yep, he was too slow. Mind you, saying that, he wasn't the best on rabbits. Didn't pick his runs, just never seemed to really try for them, sort of like as though they were beneath his effort lol. Didn't bother me, never been that interested in catching many rabbits Edited to add, I suppose not really trying could be seen as picking his runs lol, but that was only on rabbits. But he'd bust a gut to get to every hare that got up, no matter how far away Edi

    Just noticing the different checkering on the foregrip to the ones I looked at last week in a local shop. Is it because it's a newer or older model? had this about 6 months shaaark, pretty sure this is the lux version, comes threaded with mod! if your thinking of getting one go for it Yeah the ones I was looking at were the luxus version with the mod, but a different checkering to yours. I'm thinking of getting one in .20. I've never shot one in .20, had a few shots of my lad's mate's 95k in .177, but didn't like that, a tad snappy.
