There’s always something with them. Should be up and running soon enough. ?
-
If I could spend more time up the hills I would be looking at something like this for walking out in the day. Not a straight cross though. Would like a bit of something else in the mix. Time and Kennel space would be a great thing!!
-
If the dogs are in together they will probably want to share the same box mate
-
There’s this sort of design. Don’t know what they are like but double skinned so you can insulate. Just need a lid on hinges.
-
Good age blacky. She would have had a good life no doubt. Sorry to hear.
-
Yep. Spend a lot of my time on there. Best way to get a dog fit.
-
Yes mate the sire is gaffer. I have been on the lookout for a while. My lurcher hardly ran this season due to a bad injury. He’s nearly up and running now but I definitely need another. ATB with your search. I will be going down the line of getting a smaller bunny basher in a few years just to lamp and do a bit of ferreting.

Here’s hoping Ken. Cheers for putting me in touch
-
That’s what I’m hoping. Want to get out on the hills a lot more next season. ?
-
Don’t worry I prefer the thick hawthorn days out ?
-
You can have them when I’m on my hols ?

I see you are working some of them secret open warrens without me Kev!

Anyone looking to bring on a pup this year? I have decided it’s time to get a second lurcher in. The owner text to say the bitch is in pup and pups should be born next week. Looking forward to spending the summer with a new pup in tow. The breeding will roughly be: sire: collie grey/saluki grey x collie whippet grey/bull grey 26tts dam: collie bull whippet grey 23tts havnt decided on a dog or bitch yet but will see once the pups are on the ground.

Looks some nice ground that lads

Brilliant thread this. Started well and ended well. Great little pack and great land to work. Look forward to your write ups next season.
-
Nice bit of kit that
-
You might get one one here that someone might have to give up.

Best ferreting and bushing dog I have been out with was a wire haired JRT. My busher definitely benefited from getting out with her. She never went to ground. Yapping I doubt you would have any control over. I’d the beddy whippets you know of also go into cover then there’s an option. They should be good on feather too. Would say away from the beddy whoppers though!
-
Best thing I ever did was get a busher to work along side my lurcher. You see a lot more than you normally would have. I went for a spaniel x terrier. He’s settled in and isn’t scatty. I would probably go more for terrier though with living on a boat. Spaniels don’t tend to sit still for too long! Another option would be a beddy whippet type. I go out with a half cross and she bushes well. You also get the temperament of a lurcher. Only thing is not all beddy whippets will hit cover. Then again not all terriers or spaniels will. When you looking to get a pup?

I always break the egg shells up and add to their food. Broccoli has calcium too. Obviously bone but I don’t over do it.
-
There’s some decent folk out there. Kind gesture. Looks like an excellent day out too.

Going to be a nice strong dog that boris. Look forward to seeing how he gets on. -
Nice one Vin. Totally agree. Already started to de clutter my life and want to spend more time out with the dogs my boys and good friends. I have also met some decent folk off here. Phil being one of them. I like to come on here to see decent write ups and people giving decent advice. Helped me a lot when I started out and I’m still learning! Don’t seem to see much of it now as the thread is normally ruined on the first page. ATB.

There’s plenty of people who have done the same. If someone is 100% decided on not breeding then they shouldn’t regret it. There will be other top dogs and bitches to get a pup from. ?

Yeah heard this and heard ligaments and tendons don’t repair as well. Most vets and people in the know have told me it’s not true.
