    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. ?

    Nice dog that. What size is he?

    Yep I ain’t got a big budget. I don’t need anything too fancy. As long as I can find them.

    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!

    Never used it for recall. Used one only the once for stock breaking. You going to keep it on every time you are out?
  12. white van man
    Reckon they will soon go. Look great pups and parents ?

    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!

    Thanks mate. Not all my dogs. The dick head in the trough is though ?

    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 ?

    Some decent advice there. I can handle the not coming back if it’s with other dogs. Unless there’s something better on offer then it’s always a battle you will probably lose! Once he’s back then give him a treat and a fuss. Try and avoid walking up to him. Sit tight and he should start looking around for you. I don’t like dogs jumping up so I work on this straight from the start. The kids have to enforce the same rules. My young bitch has never seen interested in other dogs and once she’s said hello is straight back to me. My saluki Lurcher is 5 and he kind of does his own thing ? but will co

    Same here poxon. This is my view....maybe I’m being a bit bitter and twisted but I like my space when I’m out with the dogs. Now that the high streets, fast food chains, cinemas are all shut most lazy parents don’t know what to do with their kids. They are now bored at home and can’t just send their kids out so they are heading to the countryside. Most probably for their first time! Nothing wrong with that and I hope some continue. But, when they are leaving all their crap behind and not shutting gates etc it has a knock on for the land owner. Cases of sheep being attacked has risen....w

    Nice them. All the best with them
  22. white van man
    Nice pups and nice cross. How tall you reckon they will make. Any pics of the parents? ATB with finding them decent homes. ?
  23. white van man
    Like the look of these. Keep us updated
  24. white van man
    Good stuff. Heard of a lot of lads that have given dogs up and they turn into decent workers
  25. white van man
    I would probably question and look at myself mate before I wrote the dog off. ?
