Corvids and Jays - please add yours

Thought I’d found myself a new pal when he landed on my arm. Found out the next day that he’s a local celebrity and has his own Facebook page! He pops in from time to time. -
That’s the problem I’m having. Most don’t know what a ferret or a Lurcher is. If they ain’t making money from it they ain’t interested ?
-
Great dogs to have for close up bushing. Wouldn’t be without one now. Lurchers get to see a lot more on our walks out.
-
I’ve been passing a couple of days a week and having a look. Great painting but it’s on a very popular road and first thing I thought is some anti will try ruin it ?.
-
Both cracking looking dogs. That Fawn one is an absolute belter ??

Boys enjoying the hilltops

That’s my idea of a decent day out. Keep the updates coming ? -
Had a cracking day. Good to be getting back out again. Try head out weekend after next when I have the boys ?

The dam to my older dog was full saluki to a 1/2 collie grey. She was a good rabbiting dog and looked a bit like a leggy collie. The lad put a well bred working grew over her. Brought the size up a bit and produced a tidy litter. As said, depends what you want them for.

Spot on D. Great weather for it
-
Yeah I only run the one spaniel terrier. The Lurchers hunt not too bad. Mainly got them to lamp but like getting on the hill more these days. Be good to get out with dogs that hill work is their main thing. Cheers for the info.
-
Yeah. Even run a Lurcher show for them as a fund raiser and to get to know a few folk in the area. Never got so much as a thanks! I’m just looking to get out with someone local who has a couple of hill dogs and a small foot pack. ?
-
Yep been asking about mate. I’m new to the area so not rally in with anyone here. Had a few decent invites but nothing locally. ?
-
I haven’t followed any but would like to get out with a foot pack. I’m south west based mainly but travelling doesn’t bother me. I’ve watched a couple of packs on Dartmoor and Exmoor but from afar. Introduced myself to the local hound group near me but didn’t really get anywhere. Put a post up on here a while ago to see if there is anyone in this area. I spend a lot of time on the moors with 2 Lurchers and my busher. Had some invites off a couple of lads on here further a field and I’ll definitely be taking them up on their offer. ?

Spot on FP. Funny how we make life long mates in the dog game!
-
You can’t ask any more than that ?
-
Since I joined this forum I have enjoyed reading posts for this little dog. I’m the same, can’t understand why nobody took you up on the offer for a stud dog.
-
That’s a fair point. But then they need to be Totally honest with people who are looking to pay decent money for a pup from them if they breed.
-
What’s in the Lurcher side of her breeding shortstraw?
-
Belgian malinos or Dutch herding xs
white van man replied to poxon's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Bumped into someone local the other day. They had a Mali x. Said They thought it was Mali to a straight deerhound. I would have thought Mali x deer grey. Stood about 26tts. Cracking looking dog and a shame it’s just a pet. It certainly looked the business and I would def try something similar. Never seen either cross work but as said there’s good and bad in every breed. -
Be nice strong dogs them longers ?
-
Yep but more bushing them than hunting out. If that makes sense
-
Some are just bird crazy. Get it out early enough on rabbit and it should soon get it. I’ve got a spaniel x terrier (more towards the spaniel) he ain’t that interested in Birds. Crazy for anything else though.
-
If you get the right one I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t do what you wanted. If it’s going out with other bushers it should soon learn. I’ve had my mates pet one tag along a few times and it soon clicks on with my busher. Not sure if you will ever get it to hunt ground game only.

Great pictures and write up Fuji. Like you say, you got to make the most and get out when you can. ?
