  1. Your probs not going to like the advice I got earlier then....Been told lurchers are to big for rabbits.. Your getting some strange advice mate, pretty much any type of lurcher should be able to catch a rabbit if you want a rabbiting dog mate and you've already got collies I'd say a collie x ( a lurcher) would be the way to go. I've got a 3/4 whip 1/4 beddy and she's turning into a handy rabbiting dog too, pick what you like, put the time in and most of em will catch rabbits mate.
  2. Sorry for your loss mate. RIP Ben
  3. You've had some top advice on this thread mate, it's up to you now to put the time and effort in, you'll only get out what you put in. Good luck with the pup.
  4. Sorry for your loss mate, Good luck in finding out the truth on what happened that night mate, if it comes out they left a dog with broken legs in a hedge they deserve their legs broken and slung in a hedge the basta*ds
  5. Best of luck with the dog mate, by the sounds of it you were real unlucky with where the cut was, as it was so small.
  6. Quality photos mate, those whippets look real smart, great little ferreting companions I'm sure
  7. Some good videos there boys, nothing better than seeing a bully getting his just rewards.........f*cking hate bullies
  8. Now thats honesty..... I love the barking at pigs bit
  9. On another thread today I was interested to hear about skycats airedale lurchers, I've read about them in the CMW and on here a couple of times. From what I understand they were a mistake breeding that's turned out good. Has anyone else had the same, a mistake that you've kept and brought on and it's done the job. Cheers Kev
  10. Sounds like a good night lads, well done.
  11. Thanks for the reply, like you say time will tell but they sound like they're heading in the right direction for sure. It's definately an interesting mix and I hope they continue doing what you want from them To the post starter sorry to hijack the post for a minute, I hope you can find out whats in your dog, but if not, as long as it works for you and does what you want, it doesn't really matter ATB Kev
  12. That's interesting to read sky cat, as you've had a paticular strain of lurcher for a long time that I guess has done all you've asked of them, what is it that the Airedale brings to the mix, that was missing before. Cheers
  13. Pleased with mines progress, always puts a few in the bag, learning each time out and improving. Her re-calls good but her retreive is hit and miss, she's going straight down the beam now and realising she can pick them up when they're squatting not just when they're running.
  14. yes Kev, with the bring on pups, it really as made think more about it, to what i do. jon pup is really spot on for such a young age. I suppose it comes down to the temp of the pup as well, you could have started Bryn very young, as by time he was 15 months old he had got 100 rabbits, so he would have done well if i had started younger. But i always started my pups about 11 month old, maybe i was wrong .? Just think everyones got there way of doing things mate, whats right for one may not be right for another. Plus as you say every dogs different don't think mine would have responded well
  15. Nice one Ray and dogs, Interesting point on how to bring the dogs on, I suppose a little at a young age could be good, my pup was ferreting first from around 4-5 mnth just having a look, and I gave her runs over the summer on the lamp from around 8 mnths, nice easy rabbits. She's come on well this way. for me anyway, there's improvement every trip out. I work her off the slip for the first couple of runs then she calms right down and walks off the slip nicely. Glad it was a good night mate Kev
  16. Well done lads, 8 out of 10 is good on any terrain so you must be pleased with the pups.
  17. Aother great bag there mate, Feel sorry for your mate though he must be hanging today.......
  18. That took some reading, my brain hurts now. I remember her posting as crobin and was an obvious nut job, shows how easy you can be sucked in by some one though, she definately came back on a crusade. The THL clean up operation has begun.
  19. Got good nightvision I would say, was close to an accident last week when she was walking to heel, about to leave a field we had just been in, she set off flat out in the dark, when I flicked the lamp on it was something I didn't want her to run give her a good yell, and it was away through the hedge luckily. She's had a few rabs out of the beam and seen other dogs do the same.
  20. Ginger and black....... like a duracell battery
  21. Think your right there mate, I'm not on facebook, twitter or anything like it. I'm on The Hunting Life and The World Sea Fishing Forum, because I enjoy hunting and fishing, so like to read, learn and sometimes get involved in discussions about them. I don't give a shit what some bloke from school had for his dinner so don't do facebook, I don't understand why it's linked.
  22. Good luck with the dog mate, hope he's back at it soon
  23. I would say even outsiders looking in could see some of the posters at the minute aren't right in the head, and not a true reflection of of normal humans, besides hunters. At first glance anybody reading would think most posters have a missing chromosone, and anyone wanting to use quotes from the site could fill their boots in 2 minutes flat............ Your right there mate, I don't think people realise how much amunition these forums can give...... I'm sure a lot of posts at the minute are a big wind up, maybe to get people to bite for the wrong reasons...

  25. If thats aimed at me....I wouldn't condemn anyone who's life was under threat and needed a safe haven I'm a parent and I would not wnt my children to suffer in anyway.. but I do condemn a goverment who allows an almost free unchecked passage into our country , I also condemn the conduct of some of the people in our country who obviously hate it so much that they burn our flags, scream abuse at our war deads families and preach hate on our streets, whilst taking our handouts. I don't blame people for trying to make there life better and if they contribute to our country then fine, but it wou
