  1. Deerhoundy,s were many,s dog of choice in the not to distant past,with good reason,they are certainly on the decline now and few of them possibly reflect their eminent past.I could readily source a decent working Deerhoundy less than 30 years ago,they were common and grafted,now they are far less common and take some beating if sourced right.
  2. Many of us may have unintentionally upset the odd neighbour because of the unfortunate actions of our charges,often accidental.I take it for granted that you should have the common sense,decency and courage to manage these accidents in a manner that reflects well on the dog owner,as best as the situation allows.When you need to take more time on a computer bleating about the situation instead of dealing with it head on,then thats a fecking sad reflection on the moral stance that many lurcher owners now see as acceptable.Id have spent more time than the disgruntled neighbour seeking a resolutio
  3. Id be asking the folk that reside in the USof A then.
  4. The dog would have led you to its kill?,if you had taken it into a kill? vicinity.Whilst you were looking for a teet to suckle,on the tinternet your best reward would have been aiding and assisting the disgruntled neighbour,far less rewarding perhaps,but,the thing a responsible dog owner,especially a cat chasing lurcher owner,may have wished to do,just to be seen as responsible and fecking concerned,i may not have been to concerned about the demise of a scraggy moggy,yet id have put on every pretext of concern possible,to diffuse the situation,then id have searched for longer than the neighbou
  5. If it does id get another lurcher ,and learn to take on the responsibilities of lurcher ownership,1st lesson - lurcher chases and the owner follows,then takes the strife on the chin and not seek solace on a computer.At first light will you be the first up and out taking on your responsibilities?.
  6. Id have been out searching with them,6ft is no boundary for a lurcher,especially intent on a neighbours moggy.The neighbours may be rightly indignant,its their fecking pet and no you won,t get done.Get out and assist their search you nugget,then learn to live with another unhappy neighbour,many of us do.
  7. I also go out with the same pack (my dads pack ) , these dogs aren't your usual couple of squeaks and Come off scent , they'll go all day and never give up , have yet to see anything find like them or put so much pressure on their game in cover and very easy to keep in the kennel , have to say micks a great man to keep up with them in a van I could walk into any dog pound and walk out with a mongrel bred terrier residing their and educate it to become a more than useful mutt bushing and ratching about,as an earth dog it would be a gamble but for £40 id take me chances,id not gamble many,m
  8. Its running alongside the motor in the first post,at 62 years of age id have thought he may have learnt from years of mistakes,just goes to show your never to old. Any need for that? Cheers, D. Possibly,the amount of times, on sites like this ,that more experienced lurcher owners advocate practice that may influence the youngsters getting into the game,an influence that,s often misguided,at best. influence mate, you might need it, but me, don't think so.. Im in awe,ive hunted for over 50 years,much of that time with lurchers and terriers,im still learning,well done Carradine
  9. Time and effort in the field,the young tyro busher that is hardened to various scent and sight,time,after time,after time,should learn to act and hunt accordingly.Its often more difficult to curb and not encourage the instincts of a future busher.
  10. He,d be called a nigger by the blacks,if a white person said it,the blacks would beat their racist drum,he,d be called a coward by the folk that went to Vietnam,without colour coming into the equation,he went to prison and the muslims embraced the coward as Mohamad and on his release he became the greatest boxer of all time,even though other boxers beat him?,to appease the establishment.
  11. I thought the Dales and Fells was gods idea of heaven,then i ventured into the highlands.
  12. An ideal mutt for a beginner is one that can bend and adapt to the novice owner and still hunt and catch,a mutt that can receive the wrong type of education and learn to ignore it and hunt instinctively.Id not want a Whippety more of a Collie infused tried and tested lineage,something possibly to good for the average novice that will educate the owner more than it,s educated.

  15. Many a travelling lad stopped off in keighley on their way to the Horse Fair,to whet their windpipe and graze their mare.The amount of challenges thrown around the bar rooms was comical at times.A couple of brothers were well known for challenging every dog to a race,often a fiver an hare and a fight afterwards to satisfy the loser,with another fiver to the winner.I never,in over 10 years,knew them to own a dog or win a fight,good company though,until about 7 o,clock.

  17. The Collie sales at Skipton Auction break records on a regular basis,i believe the buyer will be taking it back to Ireland.A local farmer owns a line of working Collies related to a previous record sale,if i had the resolve to start afresh id be walking down his yard with a standing greyhound bitch and planning my idyll mutt a few litters down the line.
  18. A world class fighter may have ducked. Plenty of other world class fighters have been knocked out, easy to say what they should have done from an arm chair So your allowed to opine from an armchair and im not?,id get in a ring with Khan,id not with Conteh,Benn or Leonard. What's your logic behind that? I assume you're a boxer or fighter of some description to say you would get in a ring with Khan but why not the others? Just curious. Id not be to bothered about confronting Khan in a ring,or an alley,the others have a better earned and respected fear aspect.Yet for the brass they
  19. The reason many Falconers feed them is because they are very cheap and very convenient and the vast majority of falconers weigh a bird before attempting to fly it.Why would anybody feed anything that as little nutritional value?,especially when they soon learn how much and when decent food affects their charge.
  20. And there,s a feckwit on every continent that as no fecking idea how to hunt and protect his or her hunting lifestyle.then how about teaching them to rear their own like the pheasant shoots do???, oh aye they're trying to ban that too. Maybe a pro shooting org goes over and sorts it out and tell the Beeb and all the leftards to mind they're own fecking business. Rear their own migrating bird species?.They don,t shoot released birds,Pheasants,Partridge etc.,if they did the solution would be evident.They shoot birds migrating through their air space,without any thought or consideration of the
  21. Whats stopping you,get a good pair of walking boots,a tent and a gross of little blue tablets,the ugly inbred females that trawl their fat arses around the island could do with a little romance and the island would flourish with the addition of some new blood,especially English. Are you pissed up . I rarely drink,Susan Boyle was miss Orkney for 7 years on the trot,a pig came second 3 times and a mush in a kilt once won.
