    Couple of interesting points there sidd, your mate's dog, was it possibly a deer/grey ( big, rough )?

    1. 1st x deerhound/greyhound, caught all quarry this country has to offer, pretty comprehensively. About 75% of his catches were on the lamp though. 2. Collie/grey x deer/grey, as above, but maybe not quite as good. Both dogs more than capable of taking everything on the lamp, and also hares in the daytime, but with both being big dogs, deer/grey 30", collie/grey x deer/grey 28 1/2", they wouldn't be as effective as smaller 'sharper' types at ferreting. P S When I say all quarry, I don't mean red deer singlehanded

    No, most of the welsh sheepdogs I've seen have been black and tan as much as red and white, and no, they are not just another type of border collie

    Dead right with that W M, though I would disagree with any 3/4 cross having enough speed to catch anything. Seen plenty of 3/4 breds of various x's not have enough speed for hares, even on the lamp, but yeah, the slowest and least agile have been bull x's, even some of the 3/4 x's. Not meaning to ruffle bull x owners feathers, just saying what I've seen over the years. The best I've seen have been lurcher x lurcher, deer/grey x collie/grey, deer/grey, collie/grey x whip/grey and a whip/grey. All the above x's were mainly lamped, taking everything.

    I do not and will not push any of my pups, even on rabbits, got no time for any of the egotistical bollocks in competetive coursing either. I've been called 'too cautious' and accused of wrapping my dogs in cotton wool for too long or whatever, doesn't bother me. Obviously now and again a youngster will run the odd rabbit when out on a walk, but none of my dogs have been entered on anything until they are physically and mentally ready. All dogs will pick up injuries now and again, but none of mine have ever been damaged by being run too young. P S, not having a dig at you personally skycat lo

    Spot on unless of permanent injury that render's them useless for what they where bred to do.. I get what you're saying millet, but plenty of young dogs get permanently injured, and a couple even killed, every year by being run at hares far too young, especially on big open land where a hare can and does give a very keen youngster a desperately hard time, and I think that's the main point of fdr's post, which I think most people would agree with.

    I know I said leave it but when I looked again at the picture I didn't really bother with the bricks it was more the person on the lead. The original post said the dog was 32" which makes the child holding the lead a rather large individual ! Now the dog is 29 1/2 ", still a very large dog. Now if I am correct your forearm is the same length as your lower leg making the handlers forearm 14 / 15 " long, large for a child. The dog does not look like it has another 3" growth in those legs. Sorry folks I must be losing it, I just actually measured my forearm and lower leg! . My forearm ( e

    Border lad and skycat have hit the nail on the head, if people let their dogs mature a few more months than what they generally do, there'd be more good dogs that would be catching, and a lot less ruined dogs being passed around/sold to the next gullible newcomer. One of the things that surprises me, though on reflection these days it shouldn't, is when I read/hear of puppy comps, even if held in small fields, feckin madness, on bigger fields/land it's even worse, the one run could be the end of that youngsters coursing life, a keen pup will run itself to exhaution, and possibly be damaged fo

    Older bitch we have is exactly the same, apart from being possessive,also now getting a tad more aggressive with the younger dog, he's coming up to 11 months. I know that's down to her being a very dominant bitch though, she was from a litter of 9, all bitches, and by f**k, she is a very dominant bitch. Very intelligent and fairly easy to train basic stuff, but you've got to be on your toes all the time with her, otherwise she'd be bossing you. It certainly isn't easy, but like you say, she has 'many' positives as regards work/hunting

    Sound, like that little brindle, got a neck on her lol

    Lol, seriously gaf, though they're not my type of dog, there's no getting away from the fact that they are cracking well reared pups, little belters
  22. shaaark
    They look like they're going to be too tall, and those feet, MILES too big! lol, belting pups

    H M, did you have that dog before the ban, or was he ok on rabbits as well as other quarry?

    Satan, when she's approaching 2 years of age and strengthening up, is when you'll really start to see her developing even more 'serious speed' lol. She should learn how to control her turning and her speed the more experience she gets. I'll get my lad to pm some pics of our bitch to you. Despite being almost 29" tts, she doesn't struggle picking up rabbits lol cheers mate, if she gets any faster she'll never be able to stop when she gets going, nearly ko'd me going at full pelt the other day She's got no problem getting low and picking up, so yeah hopefully the turning will get bet
