    IF 2 LEG`S CANNOT WORK WITH SOMETHING WITH 4 LEG`S THEN STRIKING IT AINT EXACTLY GONNA HELP FORM A RELATIONSHIP. NEVER MIND COLLIES OR KELPIES IF U START LIFTING YOUR HANDS TO A SALUKI X YOU CAN FORGET IT./ IF THATS HOW A DOG MAKES YOU FEEL THEN PUT IT IN THE KENNEL TILL THE NEXT DAY OR WHEN YOU COOL DOWN. HOWEVER I THINK ITS VITAL THAT YOU LIKE YOUR DOG & IT LIKES YOU. SOMETIMES HOWEVER THE CHEMISTRY JUST AINT THERE.

    IT IS RARE THAT YOU WILL GET A SALUKI CROSS THAT BONDS WITH YOU FROM THE OUTSET. IVE NOTICED THEY TEND 2 FAVOUR THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS RATHER THAN PEOPLE. GIVEN TIME HOWEVER A BOND WILL DEVELOP, & EVEN IF YOU HAVE 2 USE TIT BITS 2 AID YOUR RECALL INITIALLY,SO WHAT??? THERE IS A SAYING "never expect too much. but dont accept too little". HOWEVER THE SALUKI X I CAN CALL OFF A CHASE WOULDNT BE AROUND ME LONG. THEY WILL NEVER BE SHEP THE SHEEPDOG.

    i agree mate , i do only lamp work my dog 21tts had 21 this season on the lamp and on a few sunnday morning walks this season he managed 5 off same land , i seen all sorts of crosses struggle with night time hare , some night time runs on a fit hare isnt as easy as it sounds mate if people only hunt night time they should be able to run what they like alot of the so called "hare" dogs would struggle night time with the smaller lurchers on rabbits day time running isnt the end all and be all of this sport. A HARE DOG WAS/IS A DAYTIME DOG. IM NOT DISPUTING THAT A HARE EDUCATED 2 THE LAMP CAN

    lol iv got an old saluki/collie/greyhound bitch exactly the same spends all day sleeping til she see's me grab a slip lead. HAVE 2 AGREE THAT THE ONLY REAL PROBLEM I FIND IS THE FINE COAT.I KEEP HARDBLOOD WITH SALUKI IN THEM. WHEN I COME HOME FM WORK AT THE WK,END IN THE DARK ,THEY EXPECT IM TAKING THEM OUT 2 BE AT THE LAND FOR 1ST LIGHT. THEY GIVE ME ABOUT 2O MINS 2 GET READY THEN THEY CHANGE FM HAPPY KENNEL DOG`S 2 WERE GOING RUNNING MODE. PAIN IN THE ASS FM MY NEIGHBOURS VIEW,BUT WHAT TYPE OF LURCHER WOULDNT GET EXCITED AT GOING RUNNING???
  18. optimus
    his style doesnt impress me either,but to kill 3 off one slip,thats a special dog Special dog, special litter he came from, their blood is still running strong are the dogs bread down from this litter doin the business today? MY MATE FM ROCHDALE AREA HAS YOUNG DOGS HE BRED FM HIS OWN BITCH TO OZZY WHICH IS DOWN FROM NIPPER LINES. CERTAINLY SO FAR HE`S HAPPY ENOUGH WITH THEM BUT I,LL SEE MORE OF THEM THIS SEASON.

    I USE A RED STRAP SHOW LEASH. THEY ARE CHEAP ENOUGH & BRIGHTER COLOUR IS EASIER 2 FIND IF DROPPED.WRIST IN HANDLE & END WITH SILVER RING THROUGH COLLAR BACK 2 HAND. BINGO!. ALSO DOUBLES AS LEASH WHEN DOG HAS HAD ENOUGH SO U ARE NOT TEMPTED 2 GO FOR ANOTHER SLIP WHEN UR DOG HAS HAD ENOUGH/OR YOU HAVE 2 VACATE THE AREA PRONTO IF U HAVE WANDERED OFF THE BEATEN TRACK.

    ONCE THEY ARE CLIPPED,USING A FILE EVERY CAN MAKE THE QUICK RECEDE, BUT ITS TIME CONSUMING. GOOD ROAD WORK HELPS KEEP THEM DOWN,BUT WHAT BENEFITS A DOG MORE? ROAD WORK OR A GALLOP ROUND THE PARK. BLACK NAILS ARE A TOTAL KILLER. I BOUGHT A DREMEL ON ADVICE & MY DOGS WENT LOOPY WITH THE NOISE & FRICTION. TROUBLE IS THAT THE NERVE IN THE NAIL IS ACTUALLY COVERING A BONE WITHIN IT& CUTTING & SPLINTERING THIS IS NOT ADVISABLE. FOR SURE THE CHANGING SEASON PATTERNS OF A DRY EARLY SEASON & THE GROUND FREEZING LATER ON MEANS WE ALL HAVE 2 TAKE MORE CARE OF OUR DOGS FEET.

    one of the best dog,s a ever saw was a hancock bitch 3/4 breed took all quarry day & night but she love charlie boy atb keano JIM BELLS PADDY WAS A 3/4 BRED FM TAFFY. THIS DOG WAS THE NEAREST IVE SEEN 2 BEING AN ALL ROUND LURCHER. COULD MARK HOLES, FERRET OR WORK DAYTIME. GREAT NOSE & STRIKE. GD LAMPING DOG & TOOK HARE & FOX. LATER YEARS HE USED 2 GO WHEN DEER STALKING POINT OUT POTENTIAL TARGETS & FOLLOW A WOUNDED DEER TRAIL. SEEN OTHERS THAT CERTAINLY WERE NOT NEAR HIS STANDARD/ BUT AS THEY SAY "u pay`s ur money & takes your choice"

    YOU WANT TO TRY HEADING NORTHWARDS ON THE A1 ROUND THE BORDER AREA. LOT OF KEEPERS & LANDOWNERS HAVE STARTED PUTTING PADLOCKS & CHAINS ON GATES 2 STOP THIS DRIVING IN TO FIELDS ON LAMP. ACCIDENTS ARE ALWAYS BOUND TO HAPPEN WITH 2 DOGS GETTING OUT OF WINDOW`S ETC IN THE DARK. THIS HAPPENED 2 MY [bANNED TEXT] YEARS AGO & THE SUBSEQUENT COLLISION BURST 1 DOGS SPLEEN, LEADING 2 ITS DEATH. CERTAINLY I HAVE TRIED IT IN THE PAST & U COVER A LOT MORE GROUND IN A VEHICLE, BUT I PREFER DAYTIME. HOWEVER THESE DAY`S PERHAPS YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR RUNNING WHERE YOU CAN GET IT.

    IF ONLY LOOK`S GUARANTEED SUCCESS WE WOULD BE LAUGHING. BRINDLE DOG`S GOING 2 BELFAST TO A GOOD FRIEND & HOPEFULLY HE WILL PROVE A GOOD STUD DOG. FAWN BITCH IS STAYING IN BONNY SCOTLAND A GIFT FM MY MATE BENDROVER. TOM BURNS THE DEERHOUND/GREYHOUND BREEDER TOLD ME YEARS AGO HE SOLD EVERY PUP WITH A GUARANTEE, "if you dont take it out it will piss your carpet"........WORD`S TO LIVE BY, I SAY. . BENDROVER IVE A NEW MOB NO SO YOU WONT HAVE GOT ME THIS WEEK. I HOPE THAT MESSER TURNED UP 4 THE LAST DOG PUP AFTER U HELD IT BACK 4 HIM???

    SAW MERAB & PHAEDRA WORK PLENTY OF TIMES. MERAB WAS A SUPERB BITCH AT MARKING HOLES & CATCHING BOLTERS. MERAB WAS A MORE AFFECTIONATE DOG & MORE BIDDABLE, PHAEDRA WAS A MORE INDEPENDENT DOG.

    Seen some of Nipper`s run`s, his style wasnt for me. Foxy was pacier & more suited as a match dog. Nipper`s stamina was legendary & i had a pup out of Oscar that Harry had taken as a stud fee. Didnt work out 2 well as she lacked the pace 4 me. Same stamp as her breeding, fawn & rough coated. Oscar went 2 Fife after that, i heard Harry had him back for a while but i dont know where Oscar saw his days out.
