    That's the thing roy, and I don't think the majority of people on here will agree what an all rounder is. As you say, everyone will want or need a different dog to someone else. But I do think ginger beard is right. I've seen loads of lurchers over the years catching plenty of different quarry sometimes in the day, but mostly in the same night

    Just been looking mate. Don't know how to put links etc up, but just read that there'd been three separate sightings in one week in cumbria. And one was seen in Rickerby Park in Carlisle and one in the RSPB reserve at Tindale, and again at Mawbray near Silloth. Article was called Raptor Politics, and there was a calendar on the page from 2011. Hope that's of help to you

    a lot of the older guys I know who hunt seem to go softer when they get older. I wouldn't call it patient as some of the dogs are less than average but they seem happy with what they,ve got and who's to argue. I think they must be more aware of their own mortality as they reach twilight years themselves and feel sorry for the dogs and don't expect much. I've seen them stop shooting pheasants as they age too and just want to admire them and then don't want the young lads to shoot them either. They must think if they save 1 or 2 birds it will make up for the hundreds they blasted in their time .

    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? I think it was over 260/280 yrds, he loved the inside hare That's fast. They pures, or racing types/grews? Not disputing anything, I don't have much knowledge of racing types, just love fast types, however they're bred

    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.
  15. shaaark
    Do they lob that out of the car as well, because it lacks pace and stamina?
  16. 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
  17. shaaark
    There defo faster today than say 20 or more yrs ago Age and memory then, mine I mean lol
  18. shaaark
    As the lads have said mate, pup, and his sister, look spot on. What 6 month old pups should look like
  19. shaaark
    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
  22. 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

    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
