See, these whippets are no good, and the show bred ones even worse! Lol cracking result and cracking dog
-
Excellent post, and it's what I've been saying for quite some time, most lads today are not suitable for owning lurchers of any type really, and is another reason why there are so many ruined potentially useful dogs ALWAYS in rescue homes etc. The majority of dog owners just don't suit the majority of lurcher types, of any format
-
Just had to google 'pudelpointer' lol. FFS whatever next?! This designer dog breeding mullarkey is getting more ridiculous every year.
-
I wouldn't pay too much attention to that programme really. Or the fact that the website says they will only sell to working farms or whatever. Alot of them get sold to people that do obedience work etc, like my ex did with hers.There are welsh sheepdogs about in quite a few areas these days. And alot of them aren't red and white, but there is a fair range of sizes, same as all working collie types really. Depends on the farmer's preference or the type of land they've got as to the type/size of dog they use

Track Suites And Camo Gear At Lurcher And Terrier Shows.
shaaark replied to stonewall's topic in Bushing Dogs
Just reread this from last night, got to say it's given me a right chuckle lol . I don't do the shows anymore, last one I went to was the cheshire game fair a few weeks back with my lad, reminded me why I stopped going lol -
Went with my ex to pick her welsh sheepdog bitch up from john davies in aberystwyth, 2005 I think.. He had a cracking litter there, sired by a big, rangy black and tan dog. Superb looking dog. I don't think the gene pool is small as such, they just aint as common as border collies
-
good to hear pal what did u call her? since you took her today iv had 6 calls all for the white pup lol I'm surprised the red pup is the last to go, lovely pup. Be interesting to hear how this litter gets on in future. I like the breeding, and the bitch looks tidy
-
Cracking pup, what type of dog is brian? Lol
-
Dam is obviously one of these single handed red deer taking beddy'whips I've heard about. Seems a reasonable price considering
-
Ah right lol, thought you'd had them longer than that for some reason. But still, a joint effort by people that own and work pures would be an ineresting and viable undertaking. A 'warts and all' type of book, not just history and romanticism. I've never been into saluki x's or pures until recently, but they are getting my attention more and more, and I think quite a few others too.
-
I've never seen a whippet/greyhound with bad feet to be honest with you. I'm talking about working dogs, don't know too much about race bred types though. Alot of whip/grey bitches are around the 22 -23" mark anyway, what size is your bitch?
-
Yeah that's what I mean lads. Written by people that have proper experience on owning, conditioning and working pures. Got to be better than something written by someone that's just into the history etc of a certain breed. Although that would also be of interest too
-
Arctic, with your years of owning and working pures, along with a few others, Darcy etc, I know there are others, but he's the 1st one that came to mind as he's written a few books on coursing etc, could't you and them come up with some sort of joint effort as regards getting an in depth book about salukis sorted?
-
56 Ah right lol, just with the amount of years with dogs was just a tad confusing. I'm tired lol
-
Morton, dogs since 5 years old, and more seriously for the last 36 years. Are you only 41 years of age then?
-
They look a fairly evenly sized litter to me, and well reared. And nice to see you're not trying to fleece people of their cash by asking astronomical figures for them, like some of these saluki bred pups go for. Good luck with them fella
-
How old are they LL?
-
Nice pup . Regarding the law, it's as green dragon says. If you have permission to be on the land you're hunting, then there's no problem, day or night
-
cheers pal must just be the wrong time or everyones already brought pups in ,will be a shame if they have to go to pet homes as they are cracking pups I still really like that darker bitch. And if I didn't have this young bich of mine, I'd have happily taken her off your hands. Liked her from the start. And I'm another that can't work out how they've not gone already. Good luck with them, cracking litter
-
Very nice pups mate. Anything else besides saluki in them?
-
Yeah you're right there fdr. Some real good fellas around back then, but not that many. Now you can hardly go for a walk without seeing at least half a dozen lurchers or running dog of some type. And I've got to say it, in those days, even though I'm a tad nervous as to whether I should write this, for fear of nasty reprisals, .............. but not a bull x to be seen! lol .Just kidding lads, I don't actually mind them as much as I make out lol Now every veggie bunny lovers got a rescue lurcher or saluki type, kinda funny really. Yep lol, some of the worst 'save the whale' and eve

I'm on the northyorkshie coast and i recon the rabbit numbers are well down, i don't mind it so much though cos imputting it down to the buzzard population!! my mate was on for one a couple of months back, i was watching through my scope and one flew down and nicked it before he had chance to shoot it!! pmsl as for hares iv only seen one pair in ages!! atb si Same here there's lots of kites and buzzards on the land I shoot I could stand and watch them all day.Theres a few half grown hares knocking about but after talking to 2 farmers yesterday both said there has been a big drop in hares

Deerhound X On The Lamp Before The Ban
shaaark replied to top dog 1's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
U keep up an at em types I like that bud hate a plodder lol. The 2 blacks at the end work well together eh mother and daughter -
seen a couple and they weren't that good. Not as quick as the collie lurchers on the day, and not as brave... Good hunters though in woodland and fellsideI'd have to see the parents working first like ! This foxhound X bull grey is suiting my needs at the moment great hunter and plenty of guts ! Never be a lamping dog which doesn't bother me Go for a fell hound or trail hound for a lamping dog! Much leaner than a normal foxhound. When you list the things a hound brings to lurcher lines it amazes me that they are not a popular cross but I must admit I wouldn't want too many knobs getting into
