Absolutely abysmal, anyone that thinks any of that is in any way the correct way to go about hunting need help. Disgraceful and yet even more ammo for the antis, doesn't matter what country it's in. It's getting shown in this country and being watched by british people on a hunting site, f***ing unbelievable. Yes I watched the first and parts of a couple of the other vids because I thought it was going to be something relevant or of interest. I fear the f***ing worst!

Good post .the big thing with this x is keeping them sound to run or alive due reckless style of running , had 2 over the years took all game ,very fast ,lacked wind and both didnt live long . went down the bull coursing dog route few years ago now ticks all the boxes So in effect, what you say there is the bull didn't add anything that a pure greyhound doesn't have; reckless, no wind etc, but plenty of speed and drive. going by what people on here write about greyhounds lol. Not having a dig, but it seems like you may as well have a pure greyhound. the greyhound will only give s

I thought it was a Manchester terrier LOL Lol I did ask jcm if there was manchester terrier in that dog lol. Nice little dog though -
To get back to the ''working man's'' price, and I'm talking lurchers, terriers, and the price of air rifles, as well as gundogs and shotguns, I find it quite laughable that people will pay more than £1000 for an air rifle, yet begrudge spending more than £150-£200 for a lurcher or terrier pup, and the same with gundogs. People will happily spend whatever it costs for a well made shotgun, and again begrudge spending say £400-£700 for a well bred gundog pup. Madness. If you want a pup that you think is a little expensive, save a little more for a little longer. All this "working man's" price is

Best thing I've read on here for quite a while, fairplay lol. And good to see people are getting in the xmas spirit lol

Reverce Breed Collie Greyhounds
shaaark replied to lurcher man george's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
What are you thinking of breeding her with sesku? -
Enjoyed reading that. Nice to read something with a bit of honesty and empathy for the quarry, and not something about 'smashing' everything that moves! Lol.
-
I don't think any of the pups will be lacking in power, even if some turn out more greyhoundy than others lol
-
Should still give you some 27"ish sized dogs, with your dog being 25 1/2". Sounds good to me shady. good luck with it all
-
A bit of sense, truth and open mindedness written there g b, and from someone that's not a 'dedicated' bull x fan. Be good to hear about your experiences with your pup, if you're fair enough to post about him/her. And to shady, for what it's worth, I think you're doing the right thing by sticking to your guns. You know what you want, so don't be put off by what other people might think/suggest. And unless you're a geneticist, you aint going to understand %ages any more than the rest of us lol. Good luck lads

Nice Pic Of Henry Dobie And Indian Joe.

Not wishing to sound contentious lads, but you do realise you're saying that dogs with whippet in them have plenty of stamina?! That's practically 'heresy' on here! Lol. Only messing lads lol, some good dogs mentioned there -
Only rats and rabbits here fella PS and if you are wanting a dog to take rhino with a dog, single handed, you won't be needing a fencepost
-
Lol one I had similar to that, minus 'fc?k the ban' is probably still in a small coppice in the cotswolds. Lost it late 80's lol

Was he worked as well as raced L C? Cracking dog -
Moisture on the grass, when was the last time you saw a rabbit drinking? Lol

You are right neil, I watched the very episode about a week ago from some vids I've got saved on my pc lol. Dog was from a jack russell to a champ racing whippet bitch. Not answering for you phil, just watched it the other day lol

i used to think the same, and after having lurchers 30 years, and killed lots of different quarry in that time .But being honest the only people i meet on my dog walks are people who are (none hunters), and they seem happy, fit, people who love there dogs, and there dogs look quite fit as well, that few labs and there not fat either, spaniels , mongrels, and few whippets .the look happy enough running around, most times they are playing with Buck having a run around lol. The one bloke , leaves work straight out with his labs 1-2 hours every night , and few more people like that , they

Not quite a whippet x now are they.... lol not quite a whippet x, but he could still sell them as a bull x lol

Even though humans as a species are now classed as 'agricultural' for the last 10,000 years, up until then then we were hunter gatherers. So basically since we starting evolving into homo sapiens. I don't think the 'hunter gatherer' is going to be leaving our genes anytime soon

Same thing happened to a lad up your way, that was in with a lad down my way, about 4 years ago johnny. Not exactly the brightest, either of them lol. It's getting sadder by the year I'm afraid to say

What are you doing trev70?! Do you not know that whippets are shit, and are FAR INDISPERIOR to a bull cross, for working etc?! Lol, I like all sighthounds, but whippets ARE my favourites. THE most underated dog of all time, especially on this site. I've owned whippets in the past that would make many modern day lurchers look slow and less than ordinary at ALL quarry. And I could write reams about them, but I won't, people aint interested, unless it's got 'a head like a bucket' etc lol. Anyway, keep your posts coming, I really enjoy them

Same here wk. The lies, deceipt, and utter shite that I've witbessed over the years when I've been to view litters of 'genuine' crosses/types, and how good they are with superb temperaments etc etc, defies all logic and belief lol. And again, if some people think hancocks kennels are dirty, scruffy, dogs never leave their pens etc, then you really do need to take a look at more than 6 or 7 litters of some of these 'home bred' pups. Some places I've been to defy description with mess etc, and will leave you feeling sick with disgust, and feeling very sorry for the pups and dam. That's why
