    One of the best dogs I had was a bitch I rescued. Prob about 3 when I had her and unsure of her breeding. Sometimes they do a home visit so just make sure any hunting clobber is hidden away! ATB with it.

    Looks just fine to me!

    That’s what I’ve done mate. It’s toastie in there when I open the door in the morning ?
  4. white van man
    Cheers. Yeah. Left the busher as she seems to always stick with him and mess about. She will get there.

    Not much about but I get to go where I want. Peace and quiet.

    Had a few hours up the hills this morning. Started the trek up before first light and got to the top just as the sun was coming up. Only the lurchers today as I wanted the young bitch to start ranging with the older dog. Had a decent walk on the first open bit of ground and then the dogs picked up some more scent and headed over the brow. Took me a while to get over the top and I could see them through the binoculars jumping around a big patch of gorse. Needed the busher! Walked over the ridge to another spot and stayed on the high ground while the dogs worked down below. Noses were down but n

    Not true shaaark. North and south come together for the 6 nations once a year ?

    It was one of them mornings. I was itching to get out but had stuff on with the kids. Nice mixture of running dogs there ?

    Agree that bull brings more to the party than just gameness. The pup I am training at the moment is the first dog I have owned with bull blood in it. I have bonded with her more than any other dog I have been around. Growing up I was around lurchers, collies, GSD and terriers. There’s just something with this dog that has clicked with me. All the other breeds in her mix I have owned lurchers with these breeds in before, except the bull blood. I think they are a lot more clever than people give credit. As mentioned, they are eager to please and are pretty easy to train. I needed a clever lurche

    My kind of a day out that. As said, them dogs look top notch ?

    Collie saluki bull grey. Don’t know exact % as the breeding goes back. Sire was along the lines of saluki grey collie grey bull grey and dam was collie bull grey. She’s just over 23tts now 10 months old.

    He has no loyalty. Like I say, great dog but he will go with whoever will take him to the best hunting spots! The pup is pretty much glued to my side. Much stronger bond with her. There’s got to be a few on here that run collie bull grey?
  14. white van man
    Certainly does. Got a saluki collie grew here. He’s a great dog but we always seem to fall out ? funny old thing is he gets on with the misses fine ?

    Thanks pal. Don’t know why but I have really bonded with this one. First dog I’ve had with bull in it. She should make 24TTS and should be plenty strong enough. Good working parents so the rest is down to me!

    Was looking for this type for a while. I didn’t want anything too heavy and a litter came along that ticked the boxes and there was some saluki in there too. Pup is 10 months now and she will look for stuff no problem. If she sees something she will go flat out to get to it. I’m exited about getting her going properly. At the minute I’m definitely holding her back. Always lamped a dog after they are 12 months but this one seems ready to go.
  17. white van man
    Yep might be a good shout. Newkid has the sister to it if that’s the same litter. There were a few dogs from this litter but don’t know how they have done. Lot of coursing blood in there and some bull. The dogs from the litter will be 26 + I reckon

    Nice FP. Hope they both have a good few seasons ahead of them. Good he’s got someone to point him in the right direction if needed.
  19. white van man
    Thrown massively to the collie
  20. white van man
    Is that a first cross storm? Nice working grew over her would produce some decent pups. Hope she stays injury free for the rest of the season
  21. white van man
    There will be people on here planning a litter. Most will be looking to have pups on the ground in the summer though. Good luck with your search
  22. white van man
    He’s a nice strong looking dog

    I’ve never rushed a pup. I would rather hold them back. Short ferreting sessions and bushing is good for them. Lamping is different all together. I know some guys start pups on the lamp early but as said, it all depends on the dog. I won’t be starting this pup until 12 months but I know some of her litter are already lamping. We have plenty of time. I think most people are guilty of starting a pup too soon because they want to get out lamping and not because they think the pup is ready!
  24. white van man
    All sorts I think. Definitely laky/patt In there. Same on the spaniel side too. Bit of a mixture

    Brilliant morning out Kev. Great to get the pup started and it makes a nice change to ferret some ‘open ish’ warrens! I was happy with the pup and she was plenty steady enough. she is collie saluki grey with a splash of bull. 9 months now and about 23-24tts. The busher did well too. Like Kev says, he’s handy to have about. He bushes well and he will work non stop. Only thing I can fault him on when ferreting is he seems to be too soft mouthed. He will catch in cover or to ferrets but some get away as he’s retrieving. If I decide to stud him out then I have always said it will be to a bushing t
