[FAO SHAZZA]

thanks it's not my litter but a friends

[light force striker vs copies? 2 questions.]

i've got a copy and it's just as good, better than the clue light that i've tried. plus it cost half the price!

[pieps freeride]

do they come with the transmitter as well? and how do people put them on their dog?

[blitz or striker help tanx]

what size fields do you run?

[Ferreting and a digging dog?]

i've got a lurcher that can do the ferreting side of things well enough, so i think i might just keep this dog for digging. He's out of good stuff so want to use him to his full potential!

[my pup saluki x whippet]

you've give yourself the answer there mate, but i would wait a few seasons before you do breed a litter just to be sure that they are the real deal. There are a lot more experienced people on here though who have been at the coursing game for a long time, you want to speak to a few of them! My dogs roughly 1/8 whippet 3/8 grey and the rest is saluki lurcher.

[Ferreting and a digging dog?]

cheers just wondering as i've got a pup here and im going to start digging but wouldnt mind taking him along ferreting aswell

[my pup saluki x whippet]

well then they should through similar size to sire and dam or somewhere in between, are the sire and dam good coursing dogs? surely if breeding the two the sire should give the pups something that the dam lacks and vice versa

[my pup saluki x whippet]

what size and sire and dam?

[FAO SHAZZA]

another of the bitch

[FAO SHAZZA]

Here's the sire and dam mate,

[Ferreting and a digging dog?]

Is it possible to have a decent ferreting terrier and one that you can also dig with? or does this cause more trouble than it's worth?

[my pup saluki x whippet]

very big considering the parents size! nice all the same

[would a .....]

why would you want a cocker to get stuck into charlie in the first place?

[Definition of a lurcher?]

Anything with at least 50 percent sighthound in it. Two different breeds of sighthound crossed is a longdog. I.e saluki/grey, whip/grey and so on.

[Lurcher racing]

Hi Shazza, i'm getting some photos later today of the bitch and dog tied for you and will scan them on here, she's not far of dropping apparently! Just looked and i've found a whippet racing club local to me! I'll go along one morning cheers

[Lurcher racing]

cheers i'd just like to see how my pup would get on, if there's a puppy race at lowther that would be great! He's about 10 month

[Lurcher racing]

Does anybody know the minimum age for a dog to compete in one of these events?

[my pup 12 mths now]

you'll have some fun this season with that pup!

[Saluki Greyhounds Bad Hunters !!!]

I've got s saluki/grey/whip at the minute and i wouldn't say he's stupid but he's certainly not as good at picking things up in the field as a collie/grey. He takes longer to learn and he seems to have less hunting instinct, but he's only young and he's a dog whereas the collie/grey i had was a bitch and i've been told dogs come on a lot slower than bitches in general. But from the two dogs i've had i would say the collie cross at the same age was alot quicker at learning and had better hunting instinct. JMO and i can't really make a defininate decisoion as i've only had 2 dogs!

[coursing dogs would like everyone to show me yours !!!!]

That's one hell of a good looking bitch BRI nicest looking saluki grey i've seen on here for sure!

[ONE DOG ONLY .......]

collie/grey, i think they are the most versatile lurcher you can have and i like to try and do a bit of everything, JMO

[Perfect Storm]

If mally is right and it's september time, isnt that when most people go on the stubbles with saluki's after hares? I thought it was a good read. That Bill person sounds like a dick, imping that only adults should have lurchers go hunting etc. I'm sure most people on here started hunting when they were a tot. All of the bullshit spouted on here just puts young people off taking up the sport and after all if there are no young people coming through who work lurchers/terriers/whatever then there won't be any working dogs left in the country! There's so much shit discouraging peope from lurchers on here when it should be the other way round!

[Places to get chicken carcasses or other dog meat?]

You wont' get any halal butchers up here mate that's for sure!

[Places to get chicken carcasses or other dog meat?]

i havent got that bigger freezer mate and i mix my stuff with redmills at the minute, they went off their food for a bit so i tried the trick of giving them their bowl for only 10 minutes and if they don't finish it take it away and it worked a treat! The redmills is just used as a mixer really as just giving them the meat i get at the minute wouldn't give them the varied diet you talk about i dont think.
