Use to shooting running hares alot with the 22 rimmy only once shot a flying crow with the rimmy straight though the chest.
haha just shows what you know, did you never get taught how not to shoot. One of the first things i was taught was not to shoot up in the air as a rifle bullet can go on for miles. It was happened and people have been seriously injured. Only an idiot would try and shoot a flying bird with a rifle.

so your only gripe is the fact that you have to buy the birds, if your that bothered than put a high fence up and clip their wings. Oh and it might make half of you look better shots shooting lob sided birds
lol. -
Actually most peoples rough shoots release some birds as well so they cant be accused of stealing the neighbouring estates birds. A rough shoot syndicate if they have an ounce of decency will put down atleast half what they shoot in a season. Respect!!!!!39 guests looking at pheasants.
On your land they are your birds, had shoots purposely feed to bring birds into the area and not put birds down.
There is always a surplus that spread from the shoot, most peoples rough shoots rely on birds from other shoots.
Least the old chaps enjoyed them, known a few shoots in Hampshire where the game dealer doesn't bother picking up the birds because they are flooded.
Shame really, they should donate the birds to people.
stealing? if a wild bird wanders on to someone else's land it's no ones to steal. Or are you saying they aren't wild birds and you shoot livestock for fun? he has not done anything illegal so you have't a leg to stand on. It's the same old coursing lads don't like hares being shot and the shooting community dont like birds being taken with dogs. It's going to happen, deal with it.
Of course theres wild birds.........but lets not pretend thats what these are. And yes i see it as stealing................so you deal with it!!
haha take your head out of your ass and give it a shake and maybe next time think twice about shooting MY hares that wander onto your land... deal with it

depends on the owner, novice or someone has kept dogs for years and years. Can't see mixing saluki blood with bull blood making a easy trainable dog, but i havent first hand experience of the bull blood influence.
. Work a beddy/whip 22tts and it's very biddable and has taken quarry that bites back rabbits and bigger rabbits on the lamp.
-
it'll click i would of thought, once she dares herself to take a squatter she'll learn that they are easy pickings i would just be patient. i wouldnt worry about, sounds like she'd make a good ferreting dog. versatile dogs collie x's!

sick b*****ds, dont know how lucky you are.

apart from coat for obvious reason why have this cross?? surely it won't be as fast as a straight bull grey? would a deer/grey to a bull not be better as it would have a bit more pace. just curious, cheers

Get a rotty pup, my dads house used to get robbed all the time, we did have a shepard and they are good too, we caught one thief when my dad was away pinned by his bollocks to the gate in, he had to be taken to hospital with his "injurys"
. No one will steal a angry rotty on a running chain, also a thing we had to do was train him not to go for meat as we discovered when we had the shepard the thiefs used to chuck a bit of meat for him to eat while they ramsacked the property. Turned out to be the same guy and he tried to chuck the rotty some meat and it didnt work the rotty fancied his meet and two veg instead

cant beleive growin men argueing over a rabbit some of the worst lurxhers i ve saw could catch a rabbit, dogs who couldnt turn a hare roe preban or nash a fox , cant see what the argument ,most lurcher half crosses catch rabbs and if the man is a decent hunting man he will put the dog in the position to catch a few ,rabbits are fun but no real test unless there bolting them to dogs and ferrets or fast winter wheat short grass then they can motor done the rabbit thing full time years ago caut 3 to 4 thoudsand a year , great spot memories but all in all no big deal
you say rabbits aren't a test yet you say roe are a test,,, i would say roe were far easier doesnt take a good en to make one panic and they're not exactly all that fast and yes i am talking daytime
-
have ran turf fields which is the same short grass as golf courses, unless you've got a fast dog that can turn on a six pence you don't stand a chance imo
-
to guard and drive livestock, also a collie isn't a hunting dog...
-
a rottweiler wasnt bred too hunt, its main use was a guard dog and theres a reason behind that! if your serious about using a rotty grey then go ahead and try it you only live once but dont bother asking for advice about a silly cross like that on here because you'll just get slated simple as!
like bulls were hunting dogs
i think not. -
:laugh:

whats the unusual lurcher cross, Pm if u want mate..
-
who knows, if it worked well then fair play.
I've been running dogs for 20 years and never heard or seen one being ran so can't really comment, doberman cross greys/lurchers I have seen running but they weren't my scene, I even had a bullmastiff/wolfhound out of a accidental mating and at 11 months old was far too big and heavy so it went to a pet home (worst ever cross I have tried and I will admit that)
fair play for giving it a go mate, if no one tried anything new we'd only have on type of lurcher,
i wouldn't take a gamble though, but for someone who's got the time and patience you never know.

I was always wondering about this cross, has anyone ever heard anything or came across (seen work) this type of lurcher, but i thought a rottweiler x greyhound could work, with the gameness of the rottweiler pace and agility and drive of the greyhound and intellginece between the two could make a good working dog, whats your thoughts on this cross, any pictures or info please provide in this thread, no slanging match or piss taking!
a bit of bullxgreyhound put into the rottie would fix some of their health faults
i agree, a bit of grey in to the kc shit would help, but there are some healthy rotties out there bred to work
-
a 3/4 bred grey/rottie would be no heavier than a bull cross
-
I once had a litter of this cross, or rather a Rottie to a lurcher. It was a long time ago, I knew of a good bitch that I would have loved to own, then i heard she was for sale and snapped her up. She was as good as I thought but as the weeks went on she started banging on weight and slowing up, she was pregnant! I went back to the seller and was told the father was his other dog, good enough he was too, though very disappointed, I settled on having the litter.
When they were born, I knew sommat wasn't right. So back to the seller and, with some 'gentle persuasion' found out that the bitch had been lined by the nieghbours Rottie!!
They went in the Echo for £15 each (they were still well reared and I don't belive anything living should be 'given' to strangers) and I stated the cross, as I didn't want any combacks. I did consider keeping one beautiful racy looking bitch but hardend my heart and let her go. Most went to people who were looking for cheap guarding type dogs but two went to folk who wanted to take a chance and graft 'em so I asked for some feedback later.
Neither turned out worth a carrot, both ended up too heavy to gallop and though they did catch a rabbit or two both were 'very dodgy' around both dogs and people, one turned out to be an escapologist and would feck off to hunt but it wasn't too fussed on what it hunted, from bunnys to dogs with the odd horse thrown in, it settled on a chain as a guard and so did the other!
All in all i'd sum up and simply say... Don't fecking bother!!
There are enough decent dogs out there without these efforts! Rotties have been out there a long time, i'm sure someone would have tried them before and found, as I did, they are not worth a fecking carrot...!
But that is a rottie cross with a lurcher not a greyhound, greyhound having a lot more speed than your average lurcher so maybe they would of turned out racier if the rottie lined a greyhound? Still who is going to take this gamble and be landed with unsellable pups? an idiot.
If anyone wanted to do this they should cull all but one pup.
I do think that looking at some heavy bull crosses that work on less agile/fast quarry a rotty/grey could physically do the same job, mentally who knows?
Theres no way a rotty cross would be up to the same as good bull cross!
you maybe get very lucky like 1/1000 with rottie cross is it worth it?
Bull tried and tested and does job so why make up these other shite crosses?
i agree with you it's not worth it,
but there are proper rotties out there,
having had one in the family do it's job very well and take some stick off the human kind,
bet most bull crosses out there aren't off proper tried and tested bulls,
most are probably an image statement on a lead, like most rotties.
Proper rottie is an athletic dog, huge jaw power (in tests they have more than a bull), like has already been said are inteligent, good coat etc.
non of this kc shit, 3/4 cross i reckon would be handy enough..
and you are saying about not trying anything new then if this was the case we wouldnt have lurchers that we have now, look at alaunts, hey have mastiff in them for god sake.

in good nick mate, what way bred is she?

A 21tts fox
:laugh: There's been a shot vixen on my farm that was 18tts so obviously a dog fox would on average be bigger. I could believe it, when you see the size of them in the city.
