    Looks good, I like these small whippety types with a dash of collie in. Very nice

    Not blaming any dog for it's colour. Might well be a worldbeater, I just can't stand the colour

    I have to say, that was true the times I've been there. Many of the dogs were roaming around, and coming up to meet us etc. Albus in particular, seemed to like my company lol

    You're right in what you say. I said similar a couple of years back, in the shooting section. People moan about payng a certain price for a dog, but think nothing of spending more than a grand for an air rifle, or in many cases with shotguns, fecking thousands, yet begrudge spending a few hundred on a dog that'll last them 12 - 15 years! And the last few years, the prices of these 'cockerpugs' or whatever crossbred piece of shite, well, anywhere from £600 - £1200. f***ing madness!! £300 or thereabouts is peanuts really for a lurcher you can be sure about it's parentage

    I know this aint really the topic, but it follows on with the colour preference. Whilst some lighter/paler merles are not my cup of tea, some of the really dark red or blue/black merles are striking looking dogs. The only colour of dog, whatever the breed, that literally makes me puke , are liver/chocolate or whatever the colour is called, with those sickly, horrible brown noses. .......

    Your dogs aint shit, southern rabbits are definitely faster, and more intelligent, than their northern counterparts

    If you listen to half the muppets on here, you'll be in a world of trouble! Lol

    That's the point I'm making mate
  11. shaaark
    Thanks for that

    Do you shoot directly of those primos mate, or rest your hand on and then shoot?

    Above post not a dig at you Attaboy, just alot of lurcher owners in general these days. To me, you've shown a modicum of good sense. Good luck with your pup

    Like you say, could be any number of reasons for the age someone starts their dog. And lets face facts here as well, 18 months isn't exactly a late start! I'd far rather that than starting too soon. Look at the amount of dogs that suddenly become 'available' from the age of 10 - 14 months, 'just right for starting.' They've already had the guts run out of them, and are already ruined, injured, started yapping or any amount of reasons as to why they are now suddenly 'unsuitable' or whatever for their 'owners' needs! Patience is a rare thing with the majority of lurcher and terrier owners the

    Real nice bitch she is mate. Is that the one you got from wales, 3/4 grey/collie to a pure collie?

    FastDogz, don't let some of the members on here put you off your pup. It looks a cracker. and you sound like you know your own mind anyway. And most people, whatever they tell you, WILL pick the pup that appeals to them aesthetically first. And if, after you've had a look at your pup and it doesn't really suit, like you've said, you're under no obligation to buy. Good luck with it, I hope it does suit, it looks a cracker

    Lol very good post that . Although I will say that I slightly disagree with you about most mutts can catch a rabbit. On some places you are correct, but some places where we go, you won't be catching any rabbits unless you've got a very quick dog. Some half cross collie/greys, and some of what their owners thought were pretty fast lurcher x lurcher types, have been found wanting for pace when we've gone out. And the look on their faces was priceless lol. Anyway, I digress, 'hitting teeth single handed' and 'fighting off lions' has made my day! Lol . Edited just to add, this was a good

    No pics from me sorry, don't even have a camera lol. But if you're main interest is in obedience I'd go for a pup with more collie in it than a 1/4. Should be easier to train and be more responsive than a 3/4 bred. Seen quite a few over the years, and my lad has one now, 3/4 grey by merlin, and he's been pretty easy to train and is turning into a very useful dog. And he's not hyper or stubborn, and is pretty laid back. I had a dog in the late 80's that hancock's taffy, border/beardie, was the sire to, and although he caught me plenty of hares and deer, the twat did my head in more than bein

    Cracking little dog that. Is she a working type beddy, or something else in her?
  23. shaaark
    Funnly enough, I was watching some you tube vids the other night with borzois coursing hares. I've never seen one off the lead in real life, and I was pleasantly surprised with the speed, stamina and agility they showed. Wouldn't say they'd be ideal for rabbits though
  24. shaaark
    Exactly that, rambling. Don't take things so seriously
  25. shaaark
    If it wasn't a problem, why post? And never mind eating a whippet, your pup wouldn't be able to catch it first lol
