Hope Yous Like Your Look Out With Me And My Bitch
shaaark replied to firstlight's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
you obviously respect whats around you ................and appreciate the time of year with young and that .........................its a good thing you got going on there ,........ imagine what it would be like letting some of the clowns off here go on there ...........................it wouldnt take long for it to be ruined....... thanks for shareing..... Yep, thinking much the same thing myself -
I agree with you b g, and it aint just gsd x's that prefer to run larger quarry. Had a dog bred out of hancock's taffy and a mongrelly but very greyhoundy bitch many years ago, he wasn't that fussed about rabbits, though he weren't too bad on em, but he was a far more determined dog on hares, and when on deer he was VERY good, and like you say, even fallow bucks singlehanded, which a couple of people I used to run with occasionally wouldn't believe, until I took them out and soon had them believing

Dog looks fit as, and that's a good honest offer

Not getting into an arguement with anyone, but why would this litter be 'useless pieces of shit' and 'shouldn't' be in the running dog section, and termed as 'useless mongrels', when in an earlier thread there was talk about GWP /BULL/GREY/WHEATEN being bred as a possible lurcher line? They'd be just as much a mongrel litter as the gsd one. And the o p was foley999 not maf. And as tomo said, there might be a couple of gooduns in the litter.

The problem isn't with whippets, it's just that they don't don't look 'hard' enough for certain people, or give out the message that they can 'SMASH' everything they run, like a bull x does. LOL. I love whippets, fabulous dogs

Good sensible post . I had a dog bred from taffy out of a mongrelly, but very greyoundy bitch, many years ago, not a great rabbit dog, never used to do much in the way of rabbits then really, but he was VERY effective on everything else I used him for. Very fast and powerful dog

I think a member on here 'undisputed' had dogs from hancocks, and they certainly looked more than capable of taking ALL quarry, judging by the pics he put up. I've not had adog from there, but two of my mates have, 4 in total, and they also made good allrounders and excellent lampers, again taking ALL quarry. But as pritch suggests, it's probable that the guys that have success with these dogs actually know how to bring a dog on properly.

You under estimate the wee dogs I think alot of people, especially the younger people getting into the running dogs in the last 20 years. underestimate these brilliant gutsy little dogs, and also the fact that their owners don't go around bragging what their dogs have 'smashed!' lol, brilliant little dogs

Most Underrated And Overrated X's
shaaark replied to EnglishBulldog's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
There dying out for the same reason the bow and arrow died out.... Because the gun came along! You get lemons like that Geoff having to pedal tumblers having to take out a half page add to sell his over priced over hyped hairy dogs. Nearly all coursing men run saluki xs and a lot of people who do around lamping use lurchers with some bull in the reason is they get results end of. Don't get me wrong I can't see why anyone would keep a heavy breed bullxs, but there's nothing better to fire a Lurcher up than a dash of bull in there somewhere. I'd love to see the deerhound lurcher -
Most Underrated And Overrated X's
shaaark replied to EnglishBulldog's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I agree collie greyhounds are underrated despite it being one of the best "allround" x that you can have. Especially when you compare it to someone bragging about their stupid staff x Again, why? Well in my opinion having a smart dog is far more valuable that having just speed or jaw strength as if a dog is intelligent it will be fare more successful on a larger range of quarry. Know don't get me wrong bull x's can be useful on the bigger species (Fox and Deer) but my argument is that a smarter dog will better for hunting and as a companion as it will be able to listen to your commands which -

What he said^^ Yep

Wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the dog either, seen some very good ones bred this way over the years, but not many in the last 20-25 years. And that's mainly because the bullx's started to get popular with certain people who wanted immage makers, and thought this x would be 'SMASHING' stuff early! Mmm good point shaaark, I own a Deer/Grey x Whippet/Grey, I'm a little bit surprised there isn't more of them about. . Saying that, yet to own and run a saluki x . . But that'll change next season! Bull x's are not my thing, a bit is fine, but not too much. .Deer/grey x whip/grey is a very good type,

It's not the bulldozer DVD at all its the Lucas v bulldozer match nobody has the bulldozer DVD yet coz it still not finished! It's still at the editing stage, should be finished in time for Christmas Here you go baw, the latest fens video. LOL

I think a lot of it comes down to the individual and which type of dog they get on best with. I'm breed blind, I'll admit it. I get out with blokes who've got some superb bull x's, they impress me with how well they work, I've seen some relentless saluki types take deer and hare, electric quick whippets hoover rabbits up and collie x's do everything that was asked of them but I wouldn't want any percentage of these breeds blood in my dogs. They each have traits that I find undesirable. This is just my opinion. Maybe I'm lazy but I like an easy life. I get on best with a deerhound x greyhou

Its not hard to work out if your fluent in mong, but to the normal person its bollocks... Oh and if you ever find anyone selling any 3 turn dogs put me down for a couple, I might even consider a 4 turn dog but 5 is just too much...... Lol, I'm assuming that he meant a quick type of dog rather than a plodder. I think
-
its not hard to work out unless your retarded ...what would you rather have a dog that takes 3 4 OR 5 MINS TO finish a hare or a dog that gets the job done in 3 4 or 5 turns Right, after explainig it properly, I'd go with the less turns option as well. No need for the 'retarded' comment though cheers sorry about the farm animals comment aswell lol

well if your family ancestoers had of stayed of farm animals maybe you would Charming C**NT you are!
