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.

I agree, a dog aggressive cur was never anything to brag about. but some did. The WWW just made it easier for such numpties to broadcast such crap! I guess its the price we pay. You know, years ago if I had a dog aggressive lurcher, it would've been the very last thing I would've bragged about! How and why have things changed so much? Not just on here, but other forums etc, it seems as though it's the norm. When I first got into lurchers, dog aggressive types would've been quickly, and permanently, sorted out. What and why have things changed so much!? Well, in my mind I think I alread

Possibly deer/grey x collie/grey?

Faaaaackin hell, mastiffs, dog aggressiveve curs whatever, apart from myself can anyone else see a trend forming which is detrimental to ALL dogwork!? Honestly, not just on this thread, but I really do fear the worst, by a long long margin!!

This is in danger of going off topic, leave dog aggressive lurchers etc for another thread, just saying like

I know it's banned, but with deer spreading out into many areas across the country, it's not uncommon to stumble across some if we go for a 'rural drive' into areas that even just 5 years ago you wouldn't see one at all. Nice to see them though . I think it's high time the government saw a bit of sense, and relaxed their grip on some of these pathetic, and most of the time, unenforcable policed laws. Don't know how they'd go about it mind, as far as I can see, it's all a confusing pile of dross that even the powers that be get bogged down with most of it and don't really know what they're doin

Feck me, you talk some sense!
