    A pull out excuse sheet, quoting "if I don't do it someone else will" "had a phone call today" "its pest control" "im bringing on a pup" preferably laminated so the summer showers wont ruin it sharp, fairplay

    Yep, I could go to a fair few places and if you haven't got a very good dog you'd go home empty handed. Plenty of all sorts of quarry can be easier on the lamp in certain areas, but there's plenty of other areas where things aint so easy, and hares can be very fecking hard to catch

    This is the point I made, I know the subject is terrier work and not greyhounds, whippets or racehorses, and the work is different, but the principles and breeding ethics etc are much the same.

    Pot luck, the amount of not so good pups out of every litter, no matter how good the parents, is, to my mind, enough proof that worker to worker has no real advantage over litters that aren't bred from worker to worker. Hare coursing whippet champions have been bred from dogs that have never seen a hare in their lives, and racing greyhounds and horses follow a similar patern. As long as they've got the right bloodline they'll be bred from. And in all livestock breeding, breed enough and you'll get some good ones. Edited to add, I just realised I'm in the terrier section! lol, but you get my

    A mate of mine had a cairn x russell bitch years ago, bred from his dad's russell to a neighbours cairn bitch, looked practically pure cairn. Only about 11", brilliant rabbiting/ferreting dog and would work the thickest bramble/cover you could imagine, good on rats too.

    Good point I wasn't very specific. I really would enjoy lamping over farmland/grassland. and be able to take the dog for walks over roughish ground when I hike, dad used to take me lamping when I was younger with our old lurcher and I loved it, but I'm not looking for a hunting machine. as I would enjoy being able to take it with me when I travel, snuggle on the sofa, and enough brains that I can train the difference between going after bunnies, but not chickens/ducks cats etc. I loved the traits of a collie as the brains are there, but I want a fast dog so had been considering lurcher

    Could be worse, I'm just glad that I don't take ANYTHING in life as seious as I used to. A couple very serious accidents makes you reappraise the priorities in life, and having a laugh on here helps to stave off the boredom. Anyway, you keep salukis don't you, I would imagine they'd make a very useful mousehound given their agility lol Aye? Fair play - but it could also get you to thinking that life's far too short and precious to be reading shite like this....... True

    Beeswax should be a winner, coming from striped/brindle creatures

    Brindle collars are faster, FACT!! I knew it ! My dog has a tartan collar - no wonder he doesn't catch anything. Yeah but he's very agile, so still ok for the mice! True - he smashes mice. Sometimes 2 or 3 a night I knew it, you can't beat an agile dog for 'SMASHING' mice. And 2 or 3 a night, the dog's obviously a top class 'mousehound'! , lmao

    agree 100% only slip in that should ever be done imho is if a young pups meets mr right on wrong day , then maybe send in a seasoned soldier to put an end to it, and even then ya gotta question whose at fault, maybe not the pup? they learn sod all from slip ins imho, gives em a false read of the workload they will face alone, maybe in the olden days this happened more and was even competed for was doubles, maybe thats cos they did not have the dogs we able to have nowadays ? besides all the fair play buisness how can ya carry a can of stella on a nice days coursing in the july heat w

    The bigger the dog, the longer the wait. But they're all individuals and you should know when to try it by observing how they progress on a weekly basis. You can't really go by age, in general.

    Had a dog bred from hancocks taffy to a very greyhoundy lurcher x lurcher bitch many years ago. Very fast and powerful dog. I never bothered with fox. He was ok on rabbits, good on hares and shit hot on deer. Ran on all types of ground.

    What I can't understand is how the queen and royal family etc, who throughout history have hunted, fished,shot etc, have allowed members of parliament, house of lords whatever, to pass laws banning the very things, which along with alot of the population ,they've pursued and supported for generations. I just don't get it. Not being politically minded, what are other people's thoughts on this. Sorry for hijacking the thread baw, but I think it's relevant to your original question.
