I'm not a saluki fan, but that's one of the better looking pures I've seen for quite a while. Just out of curiosity, why was she for sale/avalaible at 10 months, doesn't make much sense to me? Anyway, lovely bitch

Don't know what happened to my earlier post! Was just going to say, along with a few emoticons, that the 'few pics' thread seems to have chilled a few of people out! lol . And just say to ruggers that I wouldn't give your new dog too many retrieves while he's still getting used to you, new routine etc. But that's just my view on it

Is Romeo just saluki/grey x?
-
Rew, how are the sire and dam bred, Think you said before that the dam is collie/grey/whippet?
-
Get a life, and a sense of humour FFS! Lol

That's the point I was making. Yes you need to take any pup out and about, and educate it etc, and it will run the odd rabbit now and again, but as you say, lamping and proper regular running etc needs to be left til it's mature enough not to risk being stressed and strained unnecessarily. By the way, I like that pup of yours, looks a cracker
-
He won't be 'set', ligaments, tendons etc til he's about roughly 16-18 months anyway. If it was me I'd not be doing much at all, workwise, with him until then. Just get him out and about fairly regularly, socialising, teaching him some manners, stock breaking etc. Run him a little too young and you 'could' set him up with little strains and niggles which might impact on him for life, and piss you off and start thinking, like more than a few people do, that whippets are shit, fragile, got shit feet etc etc, which they aint and haven't! Or even pm some keen whippet guys off here like trev70 and

Not everyone needs to, or even likes going out in company with more than one dog I didnt say they did. Calm down and dont take everything as a personal attack.That comment was not aimed at you. Ive had great nights out on my own and to be honest most lads Ive been out with (and that aint many) do things I dont like or they let too many dogs go and so on and I havnt repeated it. Much better on my own,you are right.. My point was that if you find a good mate,and by that I mean two blokes who get on well and naturally get on and have more or less the same fitness and pace and enjoy the sport

And as has been said, and should be instilled into the majority of newcomers to lamping, f**k trying to impress anyfucker, or doing it to boost ego's, get out on your own with the one dog and do it properly, bollocks to impressing anyone, or feeling the need to brag/boast etc. Just my views, but what the f**k do I know?! Lol
-
if I wanted company, I'd stay at home. Good criac? Just the same Yep, being an unsociable cnut has far more positives than negatives when it comes to lurchers

Said when you first got him, he looks like he'll be a useful sort nl lol atb
-
A tad less abrupt than my reply lol, but if it is the pup in the deerhound thread, for goodness sake, (better)? Lol, it looks a gangly, big boned sort of a pup, give it some time to mature before it's run at anything really, and rabbits are not ideally suited for a big framed type of pup of any x or breeding to pick up whilst still so young. @ Carlton, no offence
-
Is it the pup you put a pic of in the deerhound thread? If it is, behave yoursel ffs, it's a 5 1/2 month old pup!

Yet another example of why today's dog ( girl, boy whatever ) game is in such a state, and getting steadily worse by the year

You take your missus lamping too?

!!! Phil, you lamped....... a hare!!! You heartless, thoughtless, not to mention DISRESPECTFUL person!! Lol

Anyone Have Or Had This X?
shaaark replied to beddlington/greyhound's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Lurchers have long had umpteen different breeds in them. Once upon a time people would put useful dog to useful bitch without caring or knowing exactly what breeds were in them. They produced lurchers. It doesn't have to be a first, second or even third cross to produce a good animal. My own lurchers have so many breeds in them I wouldn't know where to start, but they are lurchers and have been since before the 1960s and for who knows how long before then. I know for certain that there is Collie, Greyhound, Bedlington, Deerhound, Saluki in there, but there's bound to be more. No pure breed has -
Fieldcraft, what the feck IS THAT?!! turning the head lights off when you drive through gate lo Ah, simple when you think about it really then! Lol

Feck all wrong with a goldfish! Had one years ago, was single handed day and night, no problem, and no issues with feet, stamina etc at all! Lol. Good luck with the pup gaz

Maybe read you slightly wrong? And I aint telling anyone what type to pick, just that traditional types are more than capable of all types of normal lurcherwork, and that the working lurcher scene has gone downhill since all these different types have come in, and the shit that's been bred from the poor specimens which alot of people breed from is cause for some concern. And for you to suggest that a bull x is capable of practically everything is, to me, certainly not correct. And cargol was asking for a type that could do a bit of everything, which I've personally never seen a bull x do. Not

I agree with that. Years ago you only had a few different traditional lurcher x's, collies of some sort, and terriers, beddies normally, and longdogs, deerhound/greyound or whippet/greyhound, and lurchers, lurcherwok and owners were better for it. Nowadays you've got gsd, dutch shepherds, malinois, salukis, airdales, wheatens, foxhound, pointer and not forgetting the BULL X!! And look at the shit that's been bred since these types have been around! I'm glad that these x's are now thankfully starting to get less popular, as people are realising that you won't really improve upon the tried and t
