    Hi Phil. Was that the start of where you are at now?? What type of bitch did he go over?? Geth.

    It's a shame but pretty common up there. I grew up in North Wales and we had a boarding kennels. Part of it was a dog rescue centre and most the dogs coming through were lurchers. Shame because some of them were really nice types. Some had to be PTS within an hour of being with us due to being in such a poor state. Hope it gets a good home.

    Sometimes life gets in the way!! There's a few of us that try and get out here but something will always come up for one of us. Looks like you had a good time with the 'show ponies' though. Personally I don't think anyone is a messer if you are offering someone a trip out on your land but have to cancel for a genuine reason. It's a different story when you offer and they fail to turn up with a poor excuse or no excuse at all!! Nice looking dogs there. You just got to get out when you can. ATB

    I get what everyone is saying. The lad has asked for a greyhound stud and for him it may be for a reason. He hasn't asked for anyone's thoughts just if anyone knows of a greyhound stud. If that's what he's after then he has been lucky to have a decent offer. It wouldn't suit most but it suits him. ATB.

    A lot of people comment on how little my dog drinks. He is on raw and never fed kibble so he gets a lot from that. He always has fresh water at hand but we rarely see him drink it. I add water to his raw and let it soak for a bit. I also give him watered down goats milk and he will lap that up. As said if they are thirsty they will drink. ATB.

    Do it mate. You won't look back. Yeah I know Gaz. I go out now and again with bushers and it brings the lurcher on no end.
  7. white van man
    My plans are to keep the lurcher ticking over. Keep the training up. Plenty of walks and I'm seriously looking at getting a busher in as I think that's something I need to make our daytime walks a bit more productive!!

    Good write up Phil. Good to see you finally got a trip up north!! ATB.

    It happens torchey. As they are marking there will be a van going around looking to pick any dogs up. Just not that common around here. Like I said if you are in the area please keep your eye out.

    Hi lads please spread the word if you know anyone in the East Devon area. It is on Facebook but I thought I would spread the word on here. This is what has been said from a reliable person. Doggie owners - we just had a women come to our house to sell goods pretending to be deaf. Unfortunately Boris barked when they knocked but Rich just told them we don't buy from the door etc. Five minutes later he went out to check our drive gate and its been marked with chalk If they knock on anyone's door locally please try to keep them talking or try to get a registration number.

    There's decent tube heaters on eBay. You can plug into a timer switch so it just comes on for short bursts or have it on for a few hours. As said though most don't need it. I have insulated the sleeping compartment have a flap on the sleeping entrance and also cover the front of the kennel with a blanket to reduce the stop the cold getting in. You can feel the heat when you open the kennel in the morning.

    Will second that. If there's someone near you who knows their stuff and willing to help out then make the most of it.
  14. white van man
    Joe. It's Geth so I know plenty about your dog. I would have him tomorrow! After seeing him out the last couple of times I think something like him would be ideal.
  15. white van man
    Thought there was some bull in there but wasn't sure if there was a mix of some other terrier too!! Hope they do well for you. ATB.

    Nice looking pup mud. What they crossed with?
  17. white van man
    Just putting the feelers out as I will be looking for a busher in the near future. Looking along the lines of a cocker x terrier but would consider most breeds off working parents. I would also look at a dog/bitch that is working already/needs bringing on and needs a decent working home but it would need to be 100% with kids and steady around ferrets,stock. I would also like to know your thoughts on having the following in the mix. Pros and cons. Beagle Springer Cocker I know the main thing with the terriers is them going to ground but I have worked with terriers that don't and s

    Had a check mid season as a mate was going up to see him anyway. Good shout and well worth doing if you can get to a decent bone man.
  19. white van man
    I did see mate glad it's has been good to. Same here I'm still learning and will always be, watching people's dogs work pushed me to getting my own glad I have to be honest as he's come out just how I wanted still won't come to my side when catches rabbits for another dogs around maybe cause he don't want it near his catch? When it's just me an him he does though perfect on his own It will be a big ask if there are other dogs there, especially if he has had one stolen from him. I go out with other dogs but if mine catches I walk away from the others a good 20 meters and quietly call him in for

    Yep think most dogs could do with that at the end of the season. He gets the best of grub and hasn't been pushed too much so has only had a few knocks.
  21. white van man
    Just put a post up about mine. That's the first season nearly done. Now I'm really going to start looking at how to improve me and my dog for next! Glad you enjoyed your first season with your dog. Nothing better than getting out with your own runner. ATB.

    Well the end of the season will soon be here for me and Blue less a couple of ferreting trips and a bit of lamping. To be honest he has done more than ok for his first season. He has lamped well and is beginning to steady right up when ferreting. He is good around the house and with other dogs. I think sometimes I have expected too much from him so most of the mistakes I will put down to myself. Silly slips being one of them!! I have been lucky to be invited out with some good lads off here and this has brought Blue on no end. My only big worry is with our bond. Out of the lurchers I have

    Well done boys. A good day as expected.

    Seen these pups from a week old. They had the best start in life and it was good to see them going to good homes. Was out mooching with D and his dogs at the weekend. His pup penny was let off the lead for a bit and she could shift!! Looking forward to seeing your dads dog mate.

    I have one of Dais lamps and as said its a good piece of kit. Tried it with a filter and it is fairly dull but ok for a quick scan of a field. Will be making my own when I get some red film and see how it goes. Got myself a petzl taktika head torch that I use when out for getting over fences etc and that has the option of a red or white light depending on what you are doing.
