  1. It seems to split opinions on here. People either love or hate it. 

    For me, hare,venison and other gamey meats are the best. Hare joints, coated in seasoned flour, fried light brown,then into a pot with either guinness, red wine, or if you're strapped water+vinegar will do. Fry some whole carrots and chopped onions then empty the fryer into the pot and add 2 or 3 bayleaves. At least 3 hours in the oven on very low temperature. mmmmm...... Food of the gods.

  3. As above, definately get it checked out. I lost a very promising young dog to a snapped cruciate ligament last year. Get to a good vet and they'll look at it. If they suggest an xray then bite the bullet and get it done. Allways better to know what you're dealing with. Best of luck with it mate.

    My next pup  I am going to do the opposite and mentally stimulate train and bond for the first 6-7 months the miles can can come after. 

    This little sod was marking like a pro at 6 months and flushed his first rabbit way before that. Once his hunting kicked in it was all down hill ?

    ?don't like slating anybodys dog or breed etc..I've handslipped and trapped just about every type of lurcher/pure bred runner..these and borzois by far the worst..

    Worse than show type afghans? I have found borzois don't seem to mind biting people if they feel like it but I used to know a couple with rescue afghans and they'd take some beating.

    Am I missing something? Is there something in the pipeline threatening to make fox shooting illegal?

    No, it was just that Moocher said he hoped it would be. Couldn't see it happening as rightly or wrongly it's the method most think is the only humane method.

    Who needs antis when we have comments like this .. I despair.  I agree people shouldn't be shooting where they have no permission that's why I dont think it was shot....

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Don't worry mate, if it becomes illegal I'll give you thirty quid for your thermal so you won't have to be out of pocket or break the law.?

    I honestly dont know enough about it mate. Just remember reading about .... Lord orford? Something like that?

    Lurgan, who whelped the famed master mcgrath in 1866. Before bull blood there weren't any brindle greyhounds, or so we're led to believe. Bull blood in whippets came much later, I'd guess early 20th century maybe but only a guess.

    Any one working first x ? I ask because I was talking to me uncul and he said the best pot filler he ever had in 70 yr of running dogs the best dog he had was bred this way but he doubts they any of the old type of beardie collie about today ? He used is old dog gripper for most stuff but mainl gate and long netting .atb mooch 

    This lad used to do Moocher. He probably still does. He did a lot of rabbit control and had access to proper working beardies. Haven't spoken to him in a few years.

    Get out see a few first  

    and when they are fading dead on the back of its second day time course or knocking itself useless against everything in its path then go get something coursing bred 

     

    LOL, you may have something of a point there. They do breed deerhounds a bit big and clumsy these days. They're a nice dog to own though and the first pure in Stonewalls post looks a better stamp to me. His half cross too.

    All joking aside what fckn clown lets its pup/sapling have a 100 misses, Im no lurcherman but when Ive had a young dog coming on and I think its ready I'll give it a few runs if it doesnt look like its gonna be catching I'd give it a month off and try again until its ready, Ive never had a lurcher need more than a dozen runs to be catching, I must have been very lucky..?

    Just to play devil's advocate here, when he said that he was talking of starting a daytime rabbit dog and sneaking in range between rabbits and burrows. It's a lot of years since I read it but that's how I remember it anyway. You'd obviously start on ferreted rabbit first so pup knows it has a chance but if a pup is started on the lamp first it easily tires of trying to catch daytime rabbits. Especially the type of collie bred pups that he kept and bred.

    The Irish hare is same subspecies as the blue hare they don't run anything near the brown hare not as fast or for as long 

    The Irish hare is streets better than the blue hare, which runs as if it were a quarter rabbit. The Irish is indeed classified as a subspecies of blue but lives lowland as well as highground and has evolved to run better than the blue.

    It still goes white in winter and IMO is maybe not as good as the brown hare but definately better than the blue.?

    Belting pups M F.  They wheaten/grehounds?

    Mali/bull/grey. The mothers 3/4 grey 1/4 bull by pure malinois and the father's 1/4 bull 3/4 grey.

    If you're into fractions (LOL) that makes them 9/16ths grey, 1/4 malinois and 3/16ths bull. Lurchers.....

    Tom Heavy put up a pic of the parents last week. Here they are again.
