I run two dogs aswell mate both off the lead walking free and it's easier to teach them to wait quietly when they have been out on their own and done a bit and understand what the game is about ... Now stop arguing with me or I will snap your stick .......... sounds like smithy has sabotaged it already Who the fcuk is smithy!? lol. Anyway, I know most people have their own way of starting a young dog off, but surely getting a youngster to listen, and learn, is far easier if it's on it's own with you and no other dogs or people tagging along, as the pup will mess around simply becau
-
Spot on sir . Other dogs around when you're starting a youngster off is a pain in the cnut, needless hassle
-
I dunno, both dogs look in great nick, and the dog'll probably get a fairly regular sexual encounter! Assuming that he'll proably be used on more than just that particular bitch Lol

Don't think it's such a 'one off' or different litter than what's been bred pretty regularly for about the last 20 odd years, track dog bred to a shit bull type. Just the internet has made things easier for a lot of people to breed and advertise such shit. Don't think I'll be putting my name down for one anytime soon

10 Month Old Staff Dosent Like New Pat Pup Any Advise
shaaark replied to roba7736's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Don't care how well anyone 'thinks' they know their dogs, I certainly wouldn't be leaving any of my dogs, adults or pups, loose around any staff, even supervised, Tragedy in the blink of an eye is very very possible with these dogs -
Weren't tumblers just a smallish, lurchery, running dog type of cur going back as far as the middle ages? Where's sandymere, he's pretty well clued up on running dog history etc

Aint seen many beddy x's work, but of the ones I have seen, none of em yapped. I don't believe any x or type is more prone to yapping than any other type, but rather it's the owners that run em too young or unfit, or more than likely both, and also overwhelming the youngster with stupid impossible slips, rabbit too close to cover etc, too far away for youngster to gain ground on it or whatever. Worse dog for yapping I've seen was a bull/grey x collie/grey, make that of what you will

Cracking pics and dog. But these days after 10 pints I think I'd be pretty comatose for most of the next day, never mind ready for breakfast! Lol. Is the bitch a pure? Looks a nice type

£63 for 13kg is still daylight robbery, and to th o p, I know you said you didn't want a dicussion as to barf v complete, but surely, the prices that are charged for complete as against barf/raw etc is absolute madness, especially given the fact that almost all completes will be recommened by vets that have shares etc in these companies, and when your dog developes some skin complaint/reaction or whatever to said completes, the vets will be rubbing their hands with glee while treating your dog and recommending an even dearer wheat/gluten/whatever free complete for your dog.

defo boarder line for rabbit lol should be handy pups if they take after there parents roll on next season Good luck with em
-
Gaf, you took a chance considering the height of the parents, 24" and 24 1/2", just about borderline ok for rabbits, just hope their feet don't get a lot bigger! And giving them weetabix for a few meals to start em off, well!? . Really like that light brindle pup. Like I said before, not really my type, but cracking pups

An Interesting Comparison " Then And Now"
shaaark replied to Tiercel's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I think there's still less difference in all the sighthounds between years ago and modern times, apart from some of the deerhounds, not so much the height of them, but the weight. An aquaintance of mine has a pure deerhound dog of 32" tts and he weighs 126lb! Far too heavy to be of any practical use, as although he's fairly fast, he's got no real agility or balance to speak of -
What about a disney thread? Just remember though, it has to be in the non hunting section, only teasing lol

Saw my first bambi in 1970, when his mother was shot and killed I, well , I was devasted!.........
-
Isn't that a wheaten sort of colour, which many fells etc sometimes throw?
-
thats the dam to the bitch i had Really but it was out of a 'Blue' bitch, before you became a full blown brindlephile huh :laugh: she was indeed a blue bitch Yeah cos he knows brindles are faster! Lol
-
Anyone know? Wrong section! Lol
-
Don't know if you, or any other members know, but are AA buying 'BROCOCK' out?
-
What cal is it mate?
-
Very good interesting link that. What I find hard to fathom though is that many people find it hard to accept the fact that big strong whippets have been around for many many years, and from quite a few different lines, they are not a relatively, as far as purebred whippets go, new thing

Snap, every time IWW puts his pics etc up, it brings a smile to my face and a little chuckle, they're obviously in tune with each other, great to see. And if IWW is reading this, keep em coming sir, more than a few of us never get tired of your posts Hes always reading he just dont reply lol Probably more wisdom on his behalf

I'd much rather look at the pics IWW puts up of his cracking bitch and the scenery etc, than read the tedious drivel most of you coursing lads put up of foxy, prancer, dancer etc, or their irish bred equivalents or whatever, and their breeding for the last god knows how many generations behind them. I'd suggest it's you lads that have too much time on your hands lol

Are Bigger Heavier Whippets Better For Work????
shaaark replied to carp king's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Agree with most of what you've written there, and as I've posted a while back, big whippets have been around for as long as they've been called whippets, and are certainly not a new thing. I owned a 21" bitch, her dam being 21" and the sire 22", and a dog just over 22" (both with papers and registered) from slightly different lines, in the early 80's, and I didn't consider them to be out of the ordinary, as I'd seen dogs of similar size plenty of times before I owned them. -
A mate has a 3rd generation 50/50 bull grey, that is 27" tts, not turned out as heavy as I thought he would've, and is pretty impressive looking I suppose, if you like bull x's. Still looks ugly as faaack to me though . Still only 16 months now and has caught a couple of young rabbits when just out for a wander with him.
