    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

    Just to be clear lads, I wasn't running the bitch down, but 9.3 secs seemed awfully slow. Now the correct distance, and the situation as regards trap experience etc is clearer it makes more sense lol. And she is a lovely bitch, liked the whole litter when REW put up the pics as pups etc. Atb lads

    You sure the stopwatch is working correctly?! 9.3 seconds over 100 metres is slow as f**k. Nice bitch though. Or is she not really trying that much? Some dogs don't chase a lure as keenly as they do live quarry

    like your choices mate good xs As with everything fieldsport orientated though, you'll probably get about 20 different answers for more or less the same activity lol. I think it really just boils down to the type you fancy at the end of the day. Saluki x's, brain dead. Collie x's, no drive. Beddy x's, too headstrong,.......... piffle! If you like a type enough, you'll make a pretty good dog out of it, regardless of how it's bred. I'm talking general sort of work mind, not specialist tasks

    Deer/grey x collie/grey. Or collie/grey x whip/grey. Or grey/collie/grey. Or a combination of said types

    I'm getting well over 120 shots wiyh h+n ftt and over 130 with aa fields. Accuracy is incredible, quietest pcp I've shot or heard. and perfect weight for me. Mine's going nowhere

    Can only echo what gaz said really. Far too many people with working dogs, terriers, gundogs and lurchers, moan about the cost of equipment, food, the cost of pups etc, it's a bit silly. Lloydy sounds like he knows what he's doing, and is asking people that do alot of lamping for their input/thoughts. Hope it works out for you mate

    True that fella. They are definitely more of a thinking man's type of dog

    Superb analyzation. That's exactly how my old dog was. But you explained it FAR better than I could have! Lol

    Yeah, mine was too slow. In his first two season's work he caught me a couple of hundred hares and dozens of fallow and roe. Yep, he was too slow. Mind you, saying that, he wasn't the best on rabbits. Didn't pick his runs, just never seemed to really try for them, sort of like as though they were beneath his effort lol. Didn't bother me, never been that interested in catching many rabbits Edited to add, I suppose not really trying could be seen as picking his runs lol, but that was only on rabbits. But he'd bust a gut to get to every hare that got up, no matter how far away Edi

    Just noticing the different checkering on the foregrip to the ones I looked at last week in a local shop. Is it because it's a newer or older model? had this about 6 months shaaark, pretty sure this is the lux version, comes threaded with mod! if your thinking of getting one go for it Yeah the ones I was looking at were the luxus version with the mod, but a different checkering to yours. I'm thinking of getting one in .20. I've never shot one in .20, had a few shots of my lad's mate's 95k in .177, but didn't like that, a tad snappy.

    Absolute belter of a bitch, that brindle M F

    Like the way you got rid of the fly on your second group lol, and pretty good grouping all round

    Not quite as straightforward to load the mag as the 100, but not exactly fiddly. Once you get the knack of lifting the lever with your thumb, it's a piece of pi55 really

    I've had mine since november. Can't find ANYTHING to moan about with it. Like you say, ridiculously quiet, accurate almost beyond belief, perfect weight , mega consistant and reliable. Mine's going nowhere. PS; I tried a few of the usual suspects regarding pcp's, including the 100 KT, but this is a tad better, for me. Like I say, this one's going nowhere

    Yes but being in a phone box doesn't count lol ......100 acre field down south What the fukc was a telephone box doing in the middle of a 100 acre field ??? ....... Concealing a late born, three legged leveret that an 11 year old bull x was able to catch

    Most types will have the potential for the task, given the size of the dog and species that are ran. Every lurcher I've owned has been keener on deer than anything else

    Going to be a long summer I think. Ah well, only another five months to go lol

    You could do alot worse than a collie/grey x deer/grey. I've owned a couple and seen many more of this type that were genuinely great all round dogs, taking rabbit, hare, fox and deer regularly, especially on the lamp. Or a 3/4 bred collie/grey, seen a few of these do the same

    Dane/staghound wouldn't be fast enough, fallow can shift when even some fast types are trying to close in on them. I'd say almost any type that has a fair turn of speed and a bit of power to it, but without being overly bulky, would be suitable. Don't need bull blood

    I've been saying the same thing since I've been on this site, 2010 lol, whenever someone mentions breeding from non workers lol. And years ago, look at the mutts we used to traipse about the countryside with, mongrels with no work breeding whatsoever behind them. Worked like trojans lol
