Sounds to me he is on the right track to ruining it. I've never read such a catalogue of basic errors. Running rabbits near tracks, electric fences, shining torch over fences into fields!!!!! Forget the seasons nearly ended mate, that don't count for pups. Your on a farm for fucksake, you have the best opportunity. Wait till the young rabbits are 3/4 grown in a month or 2, get the dog a slip lead and get yourself a lamp. Pick rabbits that you'd practically catch, middle of the field type, they will sit out there if you don't harass them. Walk the dog right upto them or as close as possible.

hes 30 inches and solid with a temper if called for,I cant wait for next season either to see him run,I'll have a lot of good days on the coast with that bunch.lolThat's a nice size of dog, what line/lines is he from if you don't mind me asking?origionally way back,doxhope but a lot of local stuff thats proved to be worthy of breeding to.he had a stunner of a bitch a few years back and she wasnt up to scratch,he put her to sleep even though he was offered a nice sum of money for her.He knew the buyer only wanted to breed litters from her so wouldnt sell.he keeps a good line of dogs but rarely

Tell me of a breed of dog more powerful pound for pound than a greyhound then. All mastiff types, bull types, shepherd types, deerhounds..... Dnt get me wrong we need grey blood for there pace but I wouldnt add grey for power ffs where do you think anything gets it's speed from be it a boat, car or a dog, power no power no speed, simples

Go on, just say it, you've no idea . Most lurcher pups of mixed breeding look pretty much the same to me, unless they're a 1st x or definite type I went to see a bullx litter, but they all looked like whippets because of their poor heads , lol its got me creased Why would any right thinking individual want a running dog with a huge head? The poor c**t would be snagging it's front paws on it's chin every time it tried to get a bit of a gallop going!

sorry shud make clear when I say work I mean hunted I aint worked [bANNED TEXT] em on tracks all the grey I been round hav been well socialised and 99% I forget I'm out [bANNED TEXT] a grey unless sone1 ask wat he is if we bump into [NO TEXT TALK] so I havnt seen this cagey aspect . All hav been reared as lurcher from 8-12 week old normally weighed in from Ireland. If you're that clued up on greyhounds, how do you reckon they aren't powerful? Even well socialised greyhounds are very powerful, thought you would've known that. Or are the greyhounds you've had experience of 'well past it' under

Jigsaw that bitch looks great, and the pure dog doesn't look overly tall if that bitch is 27". Those grey pups look little belters, good luck with them

Why Gsdxg Malxg Will Be Faster Than Saluki X
shaaark replied to blackgreyhound's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
You've just described what umpteen types can do, I've seen a few 1st x collie/greys that can run thick cover and hunt in woodland etc and feckin lots of dogs will hunt with no lamp. Yep, only yesterday saw a hancock bred bitch going through some tidy cover, and f**k me if I haven't seen, and owned, some purebred whippets that used their noses like a beagle! Not much coat about em, but did that stop em ploughing through some very thick cover/brambles? Did it f**k! And they came out wihout being cut to pieces -
The proportion of hancock pups making the grade will be no more or less than any other litter of c/gh being produced out of un proven, non working parents. As for the dhx failure rates etc.. I have written stuff out.. then thought better of it and deleted so many times that its doing my head in.. A very frustrating thread to read as someone with 2 fully working dh lurchers Lol after a few of my own unwise posts recently I've deciced to give it a break and just read other posts, rather than just charge in with some of my heat of the moment thoughts! No disrespect intended to anyone . @

Having to adjust YOUR ways and life to suit the dog isn't being a dogman in my eyes. More like role reversal, f**k that. I'm far from being thick, but don't fancy being practically a dog psychologist just to get out to do a bit with the dogs. And I know there some good saluki bred dogs about, but are they the ones with JUST saluki, or ones with say collie for example in as well?

I know what you're saying mate, but some people think it's ok to course hares in the snow at this time of year!

. The dog I mentioned, owned by an old mate I haven't seen for years, was broken coated and like you say, you could literally pour water onto his coat and with a couple of shakes he'd be dry. What put me off them more than coat though was that when we'd be out lamping and he'd miss, you'd be waiting about 10-15 minutes for the f****r to come back, and needless to say, we wouldn't see much for a while after lol. Cracking nose on him and a great daytime/ferreting dog, but very headstrong. Are the majority of em that way, or would it be down to the owner? I actually quite like em, but coat a

I think you're right about the ban mate, can never see a repeal happening. A quick question for you mate, as I see you obviously like and own bedlington x's, I've not had much to do with them really,mainly due to the poor coats on the ones I have seen, well, terrible would be a better word than poor, are the majority of them like that these days? I've only ever seen one, about 30 years ago, that had a proper water/weatherproof coat. I don't do many shows etc, so wouldn't see many anyway and don't see hardly any of this x about from my neck of the woods, south wales

I've got a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 beddy now. His body is like a pure greyhound and when wet (he's rough haired) you can reall see his shape. The Beddy has given him good feet, outstanding nose, great coat, plenty of stamina and he has retained the speed. I fancied the same with collie a while back. Really like the 3/4 greys. is there any cross u don't fancy ? Lol I've fancied most breeds at some point, i'm quite open minded unlike some on here who are just set on one breed and say all others are shite I like a few x's, but not bull, saluki, or bedlington lol. But to be honest, tha

yes they crossed two smooths and got feathered wont work the other way round something to do with colouration and pigment of the nails still doesnt matter as brindle greyhounds are faster than other coloutrs anyway not sure about in the snow though i herd about that toe nail thing ,think if the nails are green they aint pure Are 1st season brindle mousehounds allowed to enter?

Not for the impatient, that rules out about 75% of people on here then lol. Saying that, I personally couldn't hack one either, not that I'm impatient, I just don't like they're general demeanour, moody twats

just saw this lol

@ buster, the greyhound you worked must've been an ex track dog, and a poor one at that. f**k all wrong with a greyhound's brain, stamina, feet or nose. Too many people on here say the same as you, and 99% of em have tried ex track dogs. Normally they'll be well past 4 years of age and will only have known kennel life and after schooling, normally just one run around a track a week. Any dog, however bred, isn't going to be up to much in the field after spending at least 4 years on such a routine. Try working a greyhound that's been brought on like you would a lurcher from a pup, people wo

I think it's just down to the individual dog's character. The two best dogs I've seen have been a 1st x deer/grey and a 1st x collie/grey x 1st x deer/grey, both superb dogs on ALL quarry on the lamp and both good daytime hare dogs, this was 80's 90's, just in case I upset a tree hugger!

Didnt expect her to be that big from the photo I thought she looked smaller. Bet she can make up some distance when she is at full stride! mate shes in full stride 15yards max lol rapid as fook.. i got another pic here that shows her build better, feckin about with me old mans pup out front...you can really appreciate the shape on the fekcer then ...lol Yeah that's a good pic with pup rob, you wanna get that one on, you can see how much she's come on in that
