    Could be an abcess too if it feels warm. That's an area the dog can't reach to bite at thorns, ticks and the like. Vets are usually over pricey but are good at lumps and bumps and if you ask early on roughly what it might cost as you have to sort the money out.........well they are sometimes surprisingly helpful. Best of luck with it mate.

    I was slowly scrolling down the page as I read this and at first I thought that greyhound looked a right carthorse.?

    Joined 2010. Were you called "collie daft" before? Your logo looks familiar.

    Just looked at the website. Those look tremendous mate.

    You wouldn't want to trip over in the excitement LOL.

    Seen some of his other fights on youtube. He may be game enough but his brain must be like instant whip by now.

    An attempt to recreate some historic rural past that may or may not have ever existed in the first place. Either way it ends up looking silly.

    Welcome back Simoman.

    Thanks for that Sandy. Reminds me of what the UK lost. Last hare seemed a goodun. Best of luck with the galgos this winter.

    If you put a beddy/grey over her and keep a rough coated collie marked pup that should look incognito. Wouldn't be as good a catch dog as a straight collie/grey though I wouldn't think.

    Irish coursing grey or one of the marathon track dogs that MHC recomends.

    That's it alright. Hate just eats you up inside. Life's too short for hate. Get on with what you do.

    That was my thoughts exactly. I live near a coursing ground and in the old days they used to just turn em out local or on someones farm. Once the lamping crews knew they got no peace. I hope the covid regulations don't mean this happens again.

    To be honest, if we're looking at a 6 week lock down and taking into consideration the crossover RVHD strain in hares then they SHOULD release them, that's my opinion. I only hope they get released back on the ground they came from rather than on the nearest convenient place where they might have little chance of surviving anyway. I ought to add that while I've always enjoyed open coursing, park coursing of captive hares just isn't my cup of tea and coursing with muzzled hounds is in my opinion just silly.

    I was wondering why they keep telling me to do one.? LOL, that explains it!

    Here's hoping he does make a full recovery. It must have been a nightmare up 'til now. What did the vet do that cost so much? At 29 inches he'll be a good height and he looks like a really nice dog. What was the dog that ran into him? Must've been something big and heavy. That injury's not what I'd expect from a simple collision.
  17. Maximus Ferret
    Did you chip that out from the slab in the fireplace ? Makes it around 63 million years old I reckon.?
  18. Maximus Ferret
    Definately something needed adding there alright.

    If you're going to use them in poor light (dawn and dusk) I'd advise 7x50 and get waterproof gas filled ones of a decent brand and the best quality you can afford. 200 quid upwards should get something half decent but you cut your coat according to the cloth you have and my own ones were poor quality and free from a house clearance but still work.

    Sounds about right. Muntjack are the little dude that's tooled up.

    Bad do that Blackie. My sympathies are with you but there's nothing much else to say really. Hope people over there can sort you out somehow.

    First cross bordercollie greyhound are almost invariably smooth coated and I've never seen one that wasn't weatherproof. Bedlington crosses, as said above, often have a soft woolly coat that soaks up water and mud like a sponge.
  23. Maximus Ferret
    LOL?? Of course they haven't improved. The question is "how badly have they deteriorated?". Even back then a lot didn't work them regularly like good lurcher owners would. Most were probably run half a dozen times a year if that. I must admit I'm a fan of lurchers with deerhound blood and though most would disagree I still think they have a bit to offer to a certain type of lurcher. For a start, if you like a big dog they increase the size without losing overall "running dog" make and structure. If reared right the hybrids tend to have good feet and have a light bounding stride that he

    When I had terriers they often dropped into places unexpectedly at the worst of times, usually when I was just stretching my legs and letting the dogs empty out. Christmas day before dinner, when I had pay to collect and the office about to shut, when I was supposed to take the wife shopping etc.etc. If there's a place with scent going to it they'll be gone. No thought for anyone else terriers.
