  1. He was when I spoke to him wednesday
  2. Dunno, but....... just kidding
  3. Your lad looks a couple of years younger than me when I had my 1st whippet, great dogs. Should have plenty of good times together over the coming years, a t b
  4. Very nice pup that mate, your lad looks well happy . How old is the pup?
  5. Never mentioned lying to a court of law mate. We were talking about lying to us. To prompt a confession. People including yourself have said the police aren't allowed to lie. Suggesting that they don't. But they do Actually, no Go back and read what I've written properly Police officers are as capable and willing to lie as anyone else. The thing is, if they get caught out, they are in proportionally more trouble than anyone else . Ever heard the term 'breech of trust'? The fact that a police officer may lie (indirectly, or directly) 'off the record' in order to c
  6. When you say double bred, is that 1st x irish terrier/grey x 1st x irish terrier/grey? Not being stupid or picky, just genuinely interested in irish terrier x greys
  7. Well in my book 10 is pretty good going on most nights, unless you're in an area which is crawling with rabbits that want to get caught!
  8. It does look like a young hare from the pics because of the legs, but the head and ears tell me rabbit. But if it was killed humanely killed with a head shot, then I wouldn't worry about it, nice shooting
  9. yeah, I think it's only fairly recently, less than 100 years, that lurchers have been classified as such, as predominantly collie/herding dog x's. As you say, anything that could hunt and catch would've been used. I like some of the less sighthoundy types and reverse 3/4 breds etc, but where we work ours you need a dog with plenty of pace, and I don't mean to be contentious, but even some 1/2 x collie greyhounds wouldn't catch too much on some of the land we run ours on, but like I say, I do like some less sighthoundy types
  10. what! Me!peace in our time ww2 came just after lol Ffs don't say WW3 is about to start! .............
  11. Plenty of guys on here will have used him on their bitches and would be able to give you accurate info, but as far as I know I think he was a 1st x whip/grey and stood at 24" tts. Like I said, don't know about racing etc, but a mate of mine had a dog wo's sire was willhay and dam was collie/grey x whip/grey. Very fast, good dog that took everything
  12. Plenty of lads on here heard of all three dogs you mention, willhay was put to loads of bitches, whippets non peds and lurchers
  13. Our oldest bitch was bang on 25" at 6 months, she ended up a fraction under 29". also all pups grow at different rates, my lad's pup who's similarly bred, but with more greyhound in him, is just under 26" at 9 1/2 months. At 5 months he was 2o". Especially with lurchers, it's hard to predict eventual size, even knowing the size of both parents
  14. Seen this when it was first shown, classic, and maddy prior's hauntingly beautiful voice is perfect
  15. different litter, though just as barking f***ing mad!
  16. couldn't believe what I was reading! Better than 'PATTERPUGS'!
  17. Litter of 'WHOODLES' in pets4homes, 'accidental' mating of miniature poodle and whippet, lol a snip at only £550 each! FAAAACK OOORFF!!
  18. Did go with a couple of others years ago, very rarely now. If I do go with someone else it'll only be my son, and then that'll mostly be with the rifles. I'm a pretty unsociable twat most of the time, and I trust no-one when it comes to permission, plus the hassle of hoyking an idiot and their badly trained mutt along with you aint worth the hassle
  19. Fair play mate, if you give it out though you got to take it as well, young or old Both fair points, but I just don't see the point or need to run a pup with another dog, when it's starting, causes more grief/hassle than anything else, also just my opinion
  20. There are some lads out there that most guys on here would help and encourage, but not many, given the stroppy, smash everything attitude of alot of lads getting into dogs these days. It takes common sense and empathy for your dog, to bring it on steadily and sensibly, without running it at everything that moves, or wanting to 'smash' everything! It takes a thick skin to put up with the abuse you'll get off people after you've ruined your youngster by adopting the tactics I mentioned!
  21. Aye, he's heard it said, but his reply to me was not of an understanding or friendly nature, more a statement along the lines of 'why does some thick c**t think you need a running dog to teach another running dog how to run!? But alot less friendly!
  22. Forgot to metion, over the river earlier with dogs and lad, and mentions this pilot caper to him, well f**k me with a rubber duck, he's heard of it too! .............
