A Night Out With The Collie Curs.
white van man replied to colliejohn's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Spot on Collie John. Good night out by the looks of things -
Same here mate. I have a Cocker/terrier. If I decide to put him to stud it will be to a bushing terrier. He’s a decent enough dog and he suits me. A few off here have seen him work.

I enjoy reading threads on here that offer decent advice or help people out. Also like reading about decent days out with decent pictures of dogs working. Never been fussed to see pictures of dogs with ‘kill’. Been some great threads on here but they seem to get ruined.

Will second that one. They will be best mates I’m sure.

what is everyone running this season.
white van man replied to DundeeLurcher's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Be running my old trusty again. After a bad injury last year he didn’t get a full season. Had a good few outings this month and he seems back to normal. Have been getting the pup out a fair bit but she will only be bushing and ferreting this season -
Sad to see that. Most will probably go in the bin. There’s just no need to take that many.

food inventory and others on rearing pups
white van man replied to jigsaw's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Nice one Jigsaw. The pups looked a picture of health fair play. It’s just a shame that when you see pups advertised for £400 + that a lot are in it just for the money. Looking forward to seeing how these pups come on. ? -
lets see some dogs pulling in to fitness
white van man replied to poxon's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Just started to get mine doing some decent distance up on the hills again. Had him on the lamp a couple of times last week and he will soon get there. Me on the other hand....... -
Looks a great day out bobza
-
You’re right there. If you look at the ingredients then there’s not much difference. Yet the price difference is crazy.

Depends on pups appetite too. Feed as much as possible. 4 times a day is ideal if that works for you. Most people are at work so feeding in the day can be difficult. I feed my pup a really big breakfast and dinner. I just throw her stuff in between. There’s plenty of choice with kibble but I’m no expert. Mine is on raw. Raw wise I feed, chicken wings/carcass, minced beef trim, rabbit, fish, tripe, offal. Table scraps most days too. She’s looks good on it.
-
Both cracking types. That’s my kinda place to be. ?
-
Little belter and a good mix. ATB with him
-
Was thinking the same. Depends on what he wants and how the bitch is bred. Wouldn’t limit the options to just a grew unless you can find exactly what you are looking for. If there’s a bit of something else in there and it’s doing the job ?
-
Just let mine tag along when I’m out bushing. Like to get them out with the ferrets from about 6 months. Not long days, just small warrens for an hour or so. Only thing I ever hold them back on is the lamp.
-
I do the same with my pup mate. Raw in mornings and night. Kibble in the day. She seems fine with it. People can’t half get hung up on this Barf feeding. Some are lucky and can get their hands on all sorts. Some can only get scraps from the butchers. When I think back to what our dogs had when I was younger it makes me think. They had kibble and scraps and had no problems at all. You just have to do the best you can. If it’s mix kibble and some raw and the dogs are working and looking in good condition then there’s no problem.
-
Pretty much it. I take some surgical gloves too. Twice in 5 years I reckon I have saved my dog from severe bleeds. Without having it on me there and then he would have bled out. Rarely leave home without one now.

Lurcher litter from Anglseay
white van man replied to Blackhounds's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
The dogs look familiar. Was the red dog at the Llanrwst show last month? -
Always the way and then when the season kicks in the numbers seem to drop or myxi kicks in.

Saluki/collie/whippet x Laguna whippet pups
white van man replied to Shankly81's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Decent price fair play to you. They should be able to shift. Got one here but he’s got a grew instead of pure whippet as his sire. Make someone decent dogs they should. ATB with the pups. -
Brilliant weekend. Thanks to all and especially Kev. Great venue and friendly hosts. The boys got stuck in and had a cracking 2 days fishing. Oliver has made a friend for life in Arry! It would be great to get more kids there next year and get them going. Nothings too much hassle for anyone when it comes to setting the kids up with kit and getting them going. We will definitely be there next year. The smiles say it all!
-
I’ll be there tomorrow afternoon. Not camping tomorrow but will be there Saturday and Sunday night. Kev if you need anything give me a bell ?
-
Good luck with it all. Had a pup here for the last couple of months and it’s been keeping me busy. Exciting times ahead.
