    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

    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

    Plenty of lads on here heard of all three dogs you mention, willhay was put to loads of bitches, whippets non peds and lurchers

    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

    Seen this when it was first shown, classic, and maddy prior's hauntingly beautiful voice is perfect

    different litter, though just as barking f***ing mad!

    Litter of 'WHOODLES' in pets4homes, 'accidental' mating of miniature poodle and whippet, lol a snip at only £550 each! FAAAACK OOORFF!!

    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

    Is this one of those prey drive conundrums?
  14. shaaark
    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

    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!
  16. shaaark
    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!

    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! .............
  18. shaaark
    he claims to know it it all giving advice to lurcher owners twice his age that have been in the game years when the lad knows f**k all about f**k all this is why he gets stick and because he is a COCK A tad harsh that mate, oh hang on, is it the guy that was calling your dog tripod etc!? If it is then yep, COCK!

    Don't think it's bully boy tactics, just some of the members having a bit of banter, especially some of us older cnuts . And no, it's not a good idea to start a youngster off with an older dog, more likely to wind the pup up than teach it anything worthwhile, now get a f****n g grip! , only joking

    kin el, that's one of the least 'prey drive driven' looking dogs I've clapped eyes on!
  21. shaaark
    Yes, interesting to hear other people's views on it, I'll go with 'jargon', easier to get my head around!

    Lol

    Lol, yeah I suppose it's a bit of hard work defining it simply. I see a few different qualities/attributes in a dog, and sometimes struggle to find words to describe them, as an example, I'll be out with my lad, 23, and the dogs, and he'll make some remark about em, and it'll be the same thing we mean but worded differently, probably just different way of describing stuff these days, cos I certainly never heard half of what he says when I was his age lol

    Is 'prey drive' the same thing as hunting instinct? Genuine question
