    He done a few with lesta bull dog and dave radford fighting ,for some reason it not let me see video but one was in a pub the other in a field with ring all set up and big dave walk up with one of his deerhound x ,dave radford good fighter  

    That ones the one in a field and it won't let me watch it anymore either. You have to verify your age and identity now to watch certain videos. Personally I'm all against the information gathering that the internet does more and more of these days. If ever an opressive regime comes into power, like pre ww2 Germany, present day China or as happened in some eastern european countries that could be a real problem. Face book in particular never deletes any info even if you delete your account.

  8. What's the strangest way you've gained a permission for the dogs?

    When I lived in Lincolnshire I had a caravan on a farm next to North Lincs Coursing Clubs running grounds. Naturally I used to have a run now and again and lamp rabbits a bit too. One night on my way back from lamping I was walking down a grassy lane where cattle had been put to graze the grass down. I came across a steer upside down in a concrete drinking trough with all four legs stuck up in the air. It was about half two or three in the morning but I thought I'd better do something so I went to the farmhouse and woke the farm manager. He was a bit surprised when I said what was up and I don't have a clue how they got it out but the farm manager gave me permission to ferret the farm and occasionally let me run hares if they were gathering on a young crop.

    I think they were surprised I'd bothered but I couldn't just leave it like that.

    Hello all. Ive got a 1st cross malinois/grey bitch just coming up to 1 year old. Very impressed with her drive learning ability and stamina. Has anyone else got Mali crosses and how are you finding them?

     

    I've got one and one of my sons has a bitch from the same litter. They aren't 1st cross though, they've got a bit of pit in there too. They're only 9 months old so can't say how they are as hunters yet but mine seems to have a better than average nose and endless energy.

  17. Hello and ideal Lurcher

    Thanks all. I once went to a Plummer kennels to buy a plummer. When I chatted to the owner Brian Plummer inevitably came up and its seems that they took a lot of his stock of Plummers New Blood I think because that is what I bought but thats another story. They also had a lot of his Lurchers. They told me that the only type of Lurcher Plummer would entertain was a straight Collie Greyhound Cross. That was the story I got. I wish I had scrapped the idea off the Plummer and got a Lurcher from the way things turned out Anyway what is your thoughts on his Collie Greyhound cross? Apparently he was an odd king of fella Brian.

    My dogs have a garmin collar on even if just exercising , I don’t do it for others I don’t it for piece of mind 

    Had Garmin 13/14 years now , they are on even running rabbits as past experiences have taught me you never know what’s over the brow, had dogs on things silent 100m away in woods that wouldn’t of found if not for good old trusty Garmin. But suppose it can also boil down to type of animals you keep.

    Maybe it's just my old ears but, in woodland, even when things are noisy I find it tricky to find.? The direction's not always obvious to me through thickly wooded areas.

    Ones in the shop had a key ring loop on them are about an inch and a half wide and half inch thick.

    £300 up front and £3 a month, get 2 for £4.50 a month.

    Look okay, has anyone tried them?

    Cheers, D.

    I haven't tried one but I'd bet they wouldn't work unless you can get a phone signal. Don't know how it is in UK but over here, if you're in a fold in the mountains, below a tall cliff etc. etc. you'd get no phone signal.

    It would be completely healed by now if you would have had it stitched. 

    Both very true but that's granulating very nicely and soon the dog can be roadwalked to maintain fitness. It's still early in the season so not too much will be lost. That'd have been a tricky one to stitch where it is and the lad explained why he didn't want to go to the vet.

    Most vets these days are money first and animal welfare second and a lot of them couldn't have stitched that so it wouldn't pull open again.
