    I’m after a set mate. Been doing my homework and a few lads rate them for the cost. I need 2 collars so can’t really afford the Garmin. Think they will be the ones I will be going for. Don’t need anything too fancy. Just need to know direction and distance of where the dogs are.

    Should be good dogs in the making them. ATB with them. They will keep you busy. ?

    Best thing that can happen now is to let people know where the poor dog has been left and maybe someone might be willing to go get it and give it a decent life. ? Hopefully anyone on here will think twice before sending a pup his way.

    If the dog ‘couldn’t be arsed’ putting in the effort for you what would have happened then? Do the decent thing and go get the dog back. By not even trying to get it back you are giving the police and RSPCA more reason to point the finger.

    Seen it first hand Joe. Growing up my old man had the council contract at our kennels. Day 9 if not rehomed they are PTS. He managed to re home the majority but the cost came out of his pocket. Some dogs were in 3-4 months before he managed to get them a home. Council only payed up to day 9. Got my first Lurcher from there. She came in after being dumped at a gate. Badly injured from cut from a fence. Fresh so probably done that night lamping. We fixed her up and worked her. 6 months later she was nicked. Same family that dumped her had her back. I hope someone has this dog and gives it a good

    The dog will 9 times out of 10 be destroyed.

    Think it’s litter sister to my pup ?
  8. white van man
    That’s a shame.

    I take it that’s your private 12 and a half mile driveway D? AKA the camel trail?

    As in grit or getting injured?
  11. white van man
    In what way did she not make it? They look like a big strong litter.

    I like taking mine out whilst I bike. Don’t often take them trotting beside the bike though. Normally mix it up between on and off roads. Steady on roads and trot on tracks/open ground. If I’m sticking to roads I only go a couple of times a week and only for about 3 miles. If I’m on the moor then they will happily trot close to me for a good few miles. Think I do it more for me to keep fit and tire the kids out! It’s good to get them fit but I prefer to sharpen them up with a bit of bushing and then build up the lamping outings in september. By October they will soon be there.

    Some strong looking dogs on there. Good starting point. ?

    Chicken carcass is probably one of the easiest things a mincer can deal with. Won’t need a commercial type one for that ?

    Agree there shadow. Got a dog here that people like to see work. He’s a decent dog. I would be lying if I said he’s been tested. I look at it like this....I would only stud him if I wanted a pup out of him. That would mean doing some homework and seeing the bitch work too. He will be worked but won’t ever go to stud.

    I think there will be decent beddy X out there kept in small circles. The ones for sale advertised as green grass types and fetching £400 + need to be discounted. I had a beddy grey type as my first Lurcher. I was a kid and he was wasted on me to be honest. Would love to have him as a pup again now. I just know he had it in him to make a very good dog. I tried to get one a couple of years ago but the line has finished. People need to think twice before they stud out to just any old bitch and the same goes for for the dams owner. You got to know what you want and see the dogs doing what you wan

    Like him a lot. ?
  18. white van man
    Nice dog that. What size is he?
  19. white van man
    Yep I ain’t got a big budget. I don’t need anything too fancy. As long as I can find them.
  20. white van man
    First thing I’m going to invest in for next season. Taken to hill hunting a bit more recently. 30 minutes without seeing your dogs without knowing where they are seems a long time!
  21. white van man
    Never used it for recall. Used one only the once for stock breaking. You going to keep it on every time you are out?
  22. white van man
    Reckon they will soon go. Look great pups and parents ?
  23. white van man
    That’s my pup on the far right. She’s doing well and just turned a year. You should have got one from that litter!
  24. white van man
    Thanks mate. Not all my dogs. The dick head in the trough is though ?
  25. white van man
    I have no experience of pure greyhounds. As said though, if it works out then you have a half decent worker bred from decent parents. Don’t think you would struggle with finding a stud dog. Think the choice of a good working deerhound would be limited but there will prob be a decent 1/2 deer 1/2 grey out there for you to use. ATB with it and keep the posts coming ?
