  1. I know I've said it before, but I really like that black and tan dog . Think you've said it's collie/grey saluki/whippet? Sure does look like there's manchester terrier in him though, anyway, cracking little dog
  2. Strong looking pup that, what cross/type is he?
  3. And the dogs have to be at least 27" tts, any shorter and they just don't have the necessary field of vision, especially if the light reflects off the shiny collar and/or brass fittings into the dog's eyes and momentarily blinds the dog , mind, saying that I'm assuming said mice would be lamped?! lol
  4. Good man, time to take the eye patch off and get out on the land, mouse hunting season is now in full swing Hope his dogs are brindle, always make better mouse hounds , oh yeah almost forgot, as long as they wearing a shiny collar! lol
  5. Yeah, nothing as good on rats and rabbits as a bull x, so why all these bull x owners are saying their dogs are taking so many foxes is anyones guess! lol
  6. Lol . Said pretty much the same to my lad the other day, re bull x lol
  7. I'd say that was a massive generalisation. I think the 'effort' put into a run is probably as much down to the individual dog. I think the issue r.e bull x's and stamina, is in the breeding. How many greyhounds that are used, have very good stamina? And how many of the bulls used actually have any kind of decent stamina, most of them are 'pet bulls'. . . . . hardly done a days work in their life. . . . . they also have a different kind of stamina to other breeds. And you just made a generalisation. They are not or were not all bred from pet bulls and easy to.come by second rate greys,the
  8. Well done again sir. Out every day, working all sorts of terrain, retrieves from water, and obviously doesn't get many injuries, or she wouldn't be out so often, and she still looks in great nick. You're obviously doing something right . I dunno, these whippets are just too fragile! Lol
  9. I like that bitch, even if it is a BULL X! Lol. Sounds like you've had a great season with her
  10. No need for a 'pilot' hare with that one! Lol
  11. A few lads have said that their 1st x beddy/whips were not quite fast enough. 3/4 whip/beddy could be a good option, as along with being a bit faster, most seem to throw a pretty good coat too. As for pure whippets being too fragile or easily broken etc, or not being suitable for wooded areas, well alot of people on here seem to be of the same opinion, but I have to disagree. Seen plenty, and owned a couple of whippets that caught very well in wooded areas, and missed trees etc easily, and certainly faired no worse, and in the nain quite a lot better than bigger, stronger dogs. I think whippet
  12. Maths aint my strongpoint either, but I know my mates' deerhound x greyhound x collie x greyhound x saluki/BULL/greyound x bedlington x greyhond x saluki// greyhound is still a bull x!
  13. Cracking thread and pics. Are those plummers a small type, or most of those rats very big? Some of them look huge with the plummers! lol
  14. Because he turns a bit slow but he will lose most x.s for pace
  15. If your fourth dog has pace to burn, why does he need big land? Not arguing or whatever, just sounds a bit awry to me lol
  16. "Glasshopper, when you can walk on rice paper"..........Thanks Mark, I didn't go to sniper school. Silly beggars crawling around in that muck and wet for days on end looking like Wurzel Gummidge. Well truth is the science of scopes still baffles me. Of course real shooters use irons only, then when they get close enough bayonet everything in sight. Yet to find a PCP with bayonet lugs, still looking Cheered my morning up that lol . Sold my 1st pcp ( brand new, less than 200 pellets through it ) a few months ago, after my son, who nearly put me in a catatonic state with his talk and inst
  17. Lol think you'll find that the majority of people in cardiff are originally a mix of mainly irish and english parentage, due to the expansion of the coal industry, oh, and not forgetting the 'thousands' of our foreign overseas cousins! Lol
  18. Well seeing as though I said what's the fastest lurcher anybody has seen I think it's pretty clear to see Greyhounds are not included.... Yes you did, but the fastest at doing what ? Fastest at RUNNING, I would think he meant
  19. Don't suppose you'd care to share a few of them with us interested parties?
  20. Allegedly think the husky and brittany have probably bred the old smithfield out the line Lol
  21. Don't jeff burrels dogs go back to some of those original strains?
