    Yeah, that's kind of what I meant really. Can't see that type being bred with hunting/work in mind

    i am just curious why you think that its ok for coursing/saluki bred type pups to be that much and not any other lurcher? Wouldn't personally pay that sort of price for a pup, but that's been the sort of price that I've seen some coursing bred pups being advertised for. And LPD I wouldn't really know how much, or how little, coursing bred pups go for these days. Just making an observation really

    Just had a quick look at the classified section . Deerhound/borzoi x deerhound/greyhound pups. £500 for bitches £450 for dogs . I could sort of understand those sort of prices if they were coursing/saluki bred type pups, but not litters such as these. Anyone interested in taking one on?

    My first dog of my own was a whippet ( well may have had something else in there but basically a whippet), was 7 or so when I got him, called him Haglar after marvellous Marvin, went everywhere with me, got a real soft spot for whippets. To reply to the above posts; I think this is the case with many lads on here, they believe that they need 'a machine' etc etc, or 'the best' type/cross, when in reality a whippet would more than cover alot of their hunting needs. W, Katchum, I knew you were really a secret whippet admirer lol

    Lol, it's all in good fun, I can assure people . And as much as some people might dislike them, there's no getting away from the fact that some of the lads/lasses that own them, have some of these bull x's in tip top condition. Oh yeah, roy I'm not likely to ever own a decent bull x either, and you're right, I've personally never seen a really good bull x work, a fair few lurchers with a bit of bull in that were more than decent, but not just bull/grey

    Only if you shave them first lol

    Especially the feathered types lol

    Underrated and underestimated, I love the little feckers

    lol cheered my morning right up that lol

    I totally agree with you shaaark. How lads can say they are lurchers is beyond me mate. Useless lumps n good for nothing. Pedantic and controversial my posts/comments can sometimes be. But bite, you will not get out of me, oh bull cross owner lol.Edited to add, I will say it til my dying breath, bull crosses are NOT lurchers, and as you've just said king, are useless lumps of nothing, that offer NOTHING to proper lurcher work Shaark was you ever molested by a bull cross owner lol or did you catch the missus in with one you owned lol,there is therapy available ,go out and catch some foxes w

    And can I just say, out of ALL lurcher types, which incidentally, I don't cosider bull x's as such, that you COULD NOT pay me enough to own one. Don't care what anyone has to say about them. They ARE NOT lurchers
  15. shaaark
    It's a well known fact, especially on here, that whippets are useless as working dogs. Just get a bull cross, WILL catch everything, pre ban or otherwise, mice to red deer

    I think it's because it's nice when like minded folk have got an interest in what you are doing. They ask questions and offer ideas etc. But you often get more negative responses than positive on here, regardless of what you are doing or how you are doing it. Lol, yep. And it's a bit like 95% of people on here crabbing whippets cos they are SHITE, FACT. But it's ok now cos there's a good chunk of whippet in the original minshaw dogs lol. Slightly off topic, but there we are lol

    Probably was pal but still no need to post, it's just annoying lol That was the reason indeed. And as gaz said, you don't need to justify your choice of dog. As long as you're happy, why should you give a toss as to what others think
  18. shaaark
    Lol, yeah righto chief lol
  19. shaaark
    And this, IS THE TRUTH!
  20. shaaark
    Great that . Yep, those whippets are too fragile to run over rough ground though! lol
  21. shaaark
    Very very capable type, and for more than just rabbits, even if the ban does get lifted. Cracking types
  22. shaaark
    What if someone doesn't want to catch rabbits, are they any good then? PRE BAN , oh yeah, and I'll just shoot rats anyway
  23. shaaark
    Well, a couple of my sisters are very fair examples of their gender, but no, I've not been tempted to go down that route .............. lol
  24. shaaark
    Agree with that, but how many people don't even bother innoculating their dogs, or even providing them with proper kenneling etc? Remember that litter in ely . Seen some pretty sad sights over the years, including more than a few on here

    I agree with that. I don't really know, and haven't really looked into it, but I'd say that the first saluki type dogs could easily have come to britain with the returning crusaders, along with arab horses, close to a thousand years ago. And the reason that salukis were given more exposure to the public was the fact that florence amhurst, and other british dignitaries etc, were upper class egyptologists that were held in high regard, and better able to give what many people think of as the most beautiful dog in the world, a more popular platform, than less affluent commoners.
