    Had dogs years before I'd even heard of plummer, but it's a fact that what he wrote about his dogs catching vast amounts of quarry whilst they were still pups, and how he trained them to complete a rubiks cube before they were 8 weeks of age or whatever, is the reason why many lads expect far too much of their dogs, especially when they're still pups

    For arguments sake, we've got a bitch here which I know would give practically every dog I know a complete and utter kicking on ALL quarry, yep, ALL QUARRY, do you here or read of me challenging anyone? I think not, and you will not. You might have a better dog, good luck, whatever, competition with dogs is the ruination of dogs, and I know it hasn't been mentioned yet, but all the shit and nonsense 'plummer' and the like wrote about dogs is the main reason why youngsters getting into dogs these days haven't got much of a clue. Mods or whatever, feel free to delete this if you deem fit

    And if it's competition you want, race greyhounds. In my mind competition and lurchers should NOT be in the same same sentence

    kin el, I'm glad as f**k I don't bother with all this COMPLETE AND UTTER SHITE!!! Why can't people enjoy their dogs without it all being a competition?

    Patch with a capital 'P' and it was 9 months Hahaha , know of a few pups that were tried at about that age from the valleys, promising pups ruined

    My two biggest pet hates, 'the patch dog', substitute any name other than patch, and 'smash', especially when used in the same context, eg, 'by the patch dog, smashing 'teeth' at 10 months, no 'reverse gear' blah blah! What happened to 'from good working parents', or is that another sign of the times?

    Is that a pure saluki daz? Very unusual markings, well, to me anyway, not seen one marked like that, very nice dog No he's 3/4 saluki 1/4 whippet, he's actually tri coulour there's a good few of the gingery tan spots on him especially round his muzzle, a boy asked me other day if he was saluki x dalmation Very nice looking dog, I assume he's useful, I like him

    Let most dogs, crosses, types, purebreds, whatever, 'boss' you a couple of times and you'll have problems

    Totally agree with that, no bull blood needed to put more fire in any lurcher

    She's looking nice satan, is she starting to settle a little more yet?
  12. shaaark
    dead right with those first 5 words!
  13. shaaark
    Thanks for that mate
  14. shaaark
    no he doesnt as they are usually smooth coated and dont sell well. this is a shame as i have seen and heard about a few dogs of this breeding which were pure class

    Does Hancock do straight Beardie 3/4 grey crosses? I know he does 1/2 breds, some nice looking pups on the site now, and he's got a couple of Beardie studs, just wondered about 3/4 breds

    Same here jack, much prefer the older ways, and types of dog. And a couple of the best dogs I've seen on all quarry were lurcher x lurcher and deer/grey x collie grey. At present we have a collie/grey x deer/grey bitch that's doing really well now, 3 1/2 yrs old, this her second season, and my lad picked up a dog pup a few wks ago, 15 wks now, sire beardie/borderxgrey x deer/grey, looks very similar to your rough dog, and his dam is pure greyhound. As for being stuck with old ways, I'm glad I am, can't hack all this modern caper lol, another old man

    A pint and a game of dominoes it was then
  18. shaaark
    how do you know he wanted to go home, maybe he was wanting to go to the pub or maybe the pictures, a meal in a nice restuarant perhaps ? just for a change like Probably the pub, for a pint of stout and a game of dominoes perhaps, pretty sharp these whippets, got to be on your toes to beat em

    Terrier, not anymore, the noisy, snappy, moody, aggressive little fuckers do my head in
  20. shaaark
    Lurcher x lurcher, collie/grey x deer/grey, whip/grey, deer/grey, still like all these types
  21. shaaark
    And that goes for any type, from the couple that I owned and others that I've seen, guts was the one thing they were never found wanting
  22. shaaark
    As gafer said, a lot of bollox talked about these types. Give him a bit of time, and timid and shivery I don't think you'll find him, looks a very nice dog
  23. shaaark
    You can't say they can catch hare and deer on here! lol
  24. shaaark
    Excuse my ignorance lads, but the title of that clip says 'blue terrier trials' not wheatens, just a tad confusing to me, don't know much about irish type terriers
  25. shaaark
    Think that's obvious, don't you think? Yes, but you are "generalising" smaller dogs ability to turn better because of a lower centre of gravity. Which is bollocks........ Everything with a lower centre of gravity turns faster, whether that's a formula 1 car to land rover or Zola compared to that tall useless guy who played for Liverpool I think. It's the laws of physics. But your right, not all small dogs will turn faster, but a good small dog will turn faster than a good large one. Anyhow, as Kranky says, this has nothing to do with the thread so I'll leave it at that. Have you
