Bought an HW K off a mate of mine, a week yesterday. He doesn't know what year it's from either, as he had it given to him lol. I just looked at that site list, and it's not on there. Barrel is stamped hull cartridge and serial number is 1411051. Barrel on this one isn't screw cut either. Any help on this?

Not saying I don't believe it cos I haven't seen it, I have seen a few bull/greys and lurchers with a fair amount of bull in running at all the usual quarry, and none of them caught a hare or a deer that didn't panic and bounce off a fence back into the dog. That's what I HAVE seen. I've not seen as many bull x's at work that other people might have. And yes, it might've seemed at the time that I was slating king's dog/dogs, but I wasn't really, it was just bull x's and the heavier bull x types generally. @ king if you're reading this.You're right though, many different types of lurcher about -

Because you recon a bull x cant even catch rabbits. Didn't say that. I said my old dog would catch more game in six weeks than your bull x could in six months.Would that be by weight or numbers Both . The old dog's long dead and buried now, but he was a very good dog, with no bull blood in him, and his father was ............... hancock's 'taffy' !! Lol Edited to add, would I have another beardie blooded dog? Not a cat in hell's chance! Lets have a list of game that this dog caught in 6 weeks shark.Pre ban obviously. A few rabbits, but mostly hares and deer, roe and fallow. That ok?No -

Yeah it's a pic, but like G D said, they look in good nick, and like they could put a decent shift in a just thinks it's funny how people can judge a dog by the way it looks ave seen dogs that look fit that couldn't run two feet without passing out that's all am saying pal am all ways happy I get what you're saying, and stay happy. Far too many serious people on here lol

I said my old dog would catch more game in six weeks than your bull x could in six months.This is what you said.And without being big headed, I'd say I would've caught more with him on his own in 6 weeks, than you will with your two dogs put together in 6 months. . Not everyone on here is into bull x's. Even if it was legal, you certainly aint going to catch hares or deer with your dogs, and you aint going to catch many rabbits either. And you won't catch many foxes on the lamp with them either. Bull x's the size/build of your -

Anyway, wasn't Ritchie87 just asking if collie/greys are any good? Lol yes he did, and you gave your opinion, which ,I gave my opinion to.In that if a dog is regularly used on things that have been discussed ,eventually if will get marked up ,I'd expect bull crosses get marked up due to there commitment. Rather than self preservation . My opinion is a 1/2 cross of any breeding is a risk,I'd rather pick a dog out of 2 worked parents that have a few generations behind them ,doing what you want. As to is a 1/2 collie grey any good ..... Let me see the dog work and I'll say. Fair enough

I didn't say 'not marked up' I said 'marked up as much'. And it's a fact, you don't see collie/greys as marked up as bull/greys. And I definitely know of a few collie/greys that take foxes very regularly throughout the season that aren't as marked up as many other types of lurcher, bull/grey or otherwise. And I agree, fashion has little to do with commitment. Anyway, wasn't Ritchie87 just asking if collie/greys are any good? Lol

Sounds like you've just seen shit ones. I've seen a collie cross do teeth for fun. Hard as nails. Built like a tank and take a knock as good as any dog. Pretty sure the dog never even saw rabbits. He was used on bigger stuff before the ban. Gaz, I know more than a few people that had/have collie/greys that weren't/aren't even remotely interested in catching rabbits, myself included. And this 'lack of fire' etc mullarkey?! Yeah righto lol. Like's been said, the people that slate em for whatever reason have either seen shit bred dogs, or dogs owned by shit owners that couldn't make a s

Not just the temperament, but having patience, like you should with all pups. Each dog of whatever type, even from the same litter, is different, and will grow quicker/slower, mentally and physically than it's litter mates. Some will be ready a bit sooner than others. Far too many people on here are rushing their dogs into work before they are ready, just because it's starting to get a bit of speed about it and is looking keen. Look how many young lurchers are for sale under a year old, and then have a chat with the owner, and that'll tell you why the dog is really for sale. There really are

Was probably Greyhound in the mix. Looked like Whippet/Greyhounds. Plenty of big, strong kc whippets in this country. I've had dogs that were over 22" tts, and like lifelong cumbrian said, there was plenty of nimrodel as well as laguna, cockcrow and nevedith blood in them, years ago, that had nothing whatsoever to do with mike brown, and long before anyone heard of sooty sam etc. I've probably said this at least a dozen times on here. Anyway, admin or whoever, where's this whippet section, I think the site needs one?
