    You got to do your homework when looking for a vet. My last one was spot on and luckily when I moved I found another good one. Ask lots of questions before you sign up to anything. Get a second opinion if needs be. As Phil said, basic first aid and a little knowledge is good to have. I always carry a basic first aid kit. Rarely used it but the other week I’m glad I had it as my dog had a bad injury and I managed to sort him enough until I got him to the vets. It’s a shame that most vets charge the Earth.

    Yes mate. Let me get the wales trip out the way and I will see how I feel!! Catch up either way ?

    It’s a cracking place. I love heading up there. I’m about an hour away but always worth the drive. As long as the dogs are steady to stock you can pretty much go wherever. Mid week can be a problem if they are live firing on the ranges. Will be heading up there a lot more now. We found the Waitrose...... luckily there is a Lidl a bit further along!

    Good news Phil. Glad there is some progress. Hopefully you will be able to get out a bit more next season. ATB.

    Will keep you posted

    I’m canoeing it in a couple of weekends time. Prob won’t fish it but will be on the lookout to head up another time.

    Another walk out today. Was ok on the lower ground but visibility on the Tors was pretty poor. Dogs had a couple of runs in the cover on the low ground. A bit of fresh air if nothing else!

    He won’t go too far. He ranges no more than say 100 metres. He always nips back and checks in. If he’s chasing he will go further.
  9. white van man
    Yep I would second that. I was tempted with going towards teagle but didn’t want to take the risk with anything that ranged too far. Got a spaniel x terrier in the end. Just the job.

    Read something on this a while back as it was in my area. Think the only thing you can do is wash the dog down after walks and give their feet a good clean. Seems to thrive in wet and muddy places. Look out for the signs and symptoms. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/what-alabama-rot-symptoms-map-11899881.amp

    Be good bushers these. You won’t look back. Best thing I ever did to keep the lurcher on his toes! You could call him Jack but if it’s Welsh you need to drop the K. You could just call him Taff or Taffey. Atb with him.

    You might have to have a look up north as the racing grews are a bit more common up there I think. The sire to my dog was a grew. He was a racing dog turned worker. He aired a few litters but he will be too old now. He definitely put a bit of height and speed into my dog.

    That’s a good offer for someone mate. Hope she goes to the right home. Sure she will. Another 6 months down the line and I would have bitten your hand off. Sure someone on here will offer her up a good home. ATB.

    You won’t need a coursing type to achieve that then.
  15. white van man
    Yep same here. If there’s other dogs he will only come back to about 10 metres away then I have to call him in with his catch. If I’m lamping with someone else then I will walk away from them once he has caught and he’s happy to come straight in with it. If there’s no other dogs he’s fine. Pup looking good there mate and she’s getting to see plenty. Sure she will be fine.

    Got the same dog here mate. Saluki collie grey x Grew but he’s more saluki so thrown to that side. I would have been happy with a bit more collie in him! He’s doing a good job though. Plenty of lads on here with coursing types so hope you find what you are after ?
  17. white van man
    Sorry to hear. Good innings and a good working life. Big boots to fill by the sounds of it. ATB
  18. white van man
    Cheers lads. I love getting them out. Kids have already buttered me up for a bit of lamping on Friday. ?
  19. white van man
    Between the two I reckon. Might get a couple throw a bit bigger!! Be nice pups them. ATB with them
  20. white van man
    I’m lucky as this place holds a few. No lamping to be had though.
  21. white van man
    Nice solid looking thing. Looks bigger than 22 though.
  22. white van man
    Keep saying Phil....you are welcome anytime. Be good to catch up, it’s been a while.
  23. white van man
    He’s saluki collie grew. He’s about 24tts. Dam was a pure saluki x collie grey (1st cross) sire was a grew. He does me ok.
  24. white van man
    We had a brilliant day today mate. Another lurcher would have been handy.
