  1. 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.
  2. I don't think any of the pups will be lacking in power, even if some turn out more greyhoundy than others lol
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Moisture on the grass, when was the last time you saw a rabbit drinking? Lol
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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

  17. so I'm to keep waiting on the hope of getting a collie x from home bred litter? I made my choice and I'm happy with it he's a belting little dog.I don't agree with Hancock ways etc but end of the day I got what I wanted, infact, I got more than I wanted he's easy to get on with, quick learner but not complicated amd I domt hear him. Great stuff, i hope he does well for you. I can slate Hancock with the best of em, Plummer too but i've owned two Hancock bitches and i really liked em. Sadly i never owned em from pups and one was very neurotic and needed constant attention, the other had never

  19. I remember the days when most people would struggle to shift a litter of mongrels, with probably half the litter being discreetly 'disposed' of. But these days as long as you say it's a purpose bred crossbreed and give them a ridiculously fluffy cuddly name tag, you're laughing. And though it might offend some people that are reading this, I COULD NOT bring myself to actually tell anyone, or even say it out loud, that I've gone and bought a labradoodle, puglington cockerpoo, cocklington or whatever else that these people are flogging these days! The shame of it And before anyone picks m
  20. Or come after you and your dog, biting and kicking. Lol I've had a couple of close scrapes like that at night . f**k knows why I've put a laughing face up, it was anything but funny at the time . It was many years ago, only took me the second time to fully comprehend what could easily have happened if I hadn't have dived over a railway embankment fence into some thick cover, (complete with lamp, battery etc) wich I lost in the same cover, with horse only a few yards behind me as I went over the fence, and the c**t was trotting back and forth actively looking for me! Lol. From that night on

  22. Lol pedigrees that are half arsed guesses and suppositions written by all those really 'honest' coursing lads lol. Load of baloney. Most people will tell you what you want, or expect to hear. I fell for it once, NEVER again! Lol
  23. But weren't mary and kevin sired by the same dog that was out of 'billy the accident's' ltter brother, through irene and mary's aunt flossie?! ......... lol
