    I agree with alot of what you say, and wouldn't advocate breeding off small, thin, weak or old stock etc, but physically and mentally sound animals, and while I agree that it's certainly easier to guage the parents, grandparents etc through their soundness in the field, I don't feel it's necessary that the dog you might take on 'needs' to come from working parents. Hope that makes sense

    I would think a Galgo would be suitable

    Worker to worker means feck all, apart from the fact that both parents were worked. It doesn't follow that all the pups will, or even be suitable for work. Plenty of working/coursing/racing champions etc in both dogs and horses, bred from parents which have never worked, coursed or raced prove it If you just want a few rabbits and you just buy in all your dogs thats fine,but if you want the line to go on then you need to get the best rootstock from the beginning,not a quick fix from the lurcher supermarket (hancocks) Theres a dog on here owned by BIRD I think. Thats a proper collie/grey

    Not looked at the link, but what desertbred said is spot on, and going by the actions of many lurcher owners over the last 10 years or so, I fear the worst for terrier, and more specifically lurcherwork

    That's partly my point, there are plenty of very good 1st x's of ALL types bred from parents which have never seen any live game, never mind been worked!

    Or that he's aware that there are far too many muppets that 'do' have money, and he doesn't want his pups ending up with one of these muppets. Not such an odd ad/post really

    Getting a bit of shape about em now gaf, mind they don't get too tall! lol

    how many past dogs have you had mate? it's not a dig i'm just wandering how many you had that would take anything or do all that what your saying atb at I believe him, plenty of people on here own such dogs

    Anyway, back to salukixgrey's question, collie/grey x deer/grey do all you want, and more, on the lamp , oooh pardon me, PRE BAN!

    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
  13. shaaark
    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
  15. shaaark
    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
  16. shaaark
    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
  17. shaaark
    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
  21. shaaark
    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
  22. shaaark
    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
  24. shaaark
    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?
