  1. hareydave there only good if your in the right click
  2. harnesses are alright on women or hen pecked husbands work them where you want to just don't get caught
  3. I keep several dogs and always have , but times are different and now its harder and harder to put enough stuff in front of them or even do them fairly in time on the ground. The older you get the harder it gets also LOL now I am retired and loads of time but age has its down side. I honestly think unless you just go out mooching with a pack that two dogs is more than enough nowadays if one gets an injury then you have a back up but more finding work for them is the biggest problem.
  4. Think the "bridge1 means the brindle PP but he didn't want to say the one with go faster stripes LOL
  5. I wouldn't think so after reading it on here
  6. some one like Darcy or Penny Taylor should get out and interview some of the real old time dog men. Not coursing just old school who worked every conceivable dog from terriers to lurchers bushing dogs etc. There is a wealth of knowledge and old stories out there that as the years pass will disappear for ever,. just a thought
  7. you cannot compare an organised coursing meeting like the waterloo with open land coursing to many variables , Just as coursing hares in some parts of the country is a totally different experience to other parts.. Personally when a quarry is running for its life it will get a move on young quarry has a lot to learn if they survive but that flight instinct is there from birth. Just as the pursuit instinct in a predator is they just have to hone and practice the skills they are born with.
  8. see what dogs the lads have in the local area . what they are bred for and from what, then see what you think will suit you and finally disregard 90% of the advice you see on here atb
  9. get it down to Paul Evans vet at Royton Near Oldham Lancashire best running dog vet in country good prices and no bull shit from him
  10. Shooting hares is diabolical but there again I am a courser. The question is wouldn't the land owners take 25 quid a hare of the running lads if they thought they would get it. The thing now running has to be under cover plain and simple making dvd,s is a lads choice some like it some don't, the thing is that these dvds get watched by others (plod and antis) as well as enthusiasts so any negative behaviour or actions just give more ammo to the ban brigade,Good clean cut sport can be a positive message so can lads dressed in the right way and acting politely if a load of tracky bottoms and san
  11. Mid winter with the frost on the ground is better, coming of a summer like we have just had the puss are not at their best that's for sure the odd one gives a good account but most go down without ever kicking into top gear.
  12. only two in the mix from tallish dogs but if the saluki was a bitch around 24/25 tts is normal a greyhound dam or sire around 25 to 28 the rest bull, whippet etc not renowned for height chance is increased of big variations depending on breeds and which particular line is dog or bitch in its ancestors

  14. mine tell me to f**k off if I tell them to do the dishes and ironing not to the wife only to me, Seriously I have pures and they will do what they are fired at
  15. Rememberance day belongs to the whole world and humanity, people sacrifice for justice and freedom, wars and conflicts large or small leave bereavement , invalidity and trauma for all sides. The two world wars were supposed to be the wars to end all wars have we learnt from the sacrifices made? May your god give peace and comfort to those who died and those affected by conflicts many of whom don't want to be involved Rip the lads in uniform Amen
  16. Line bred lurcher to a good quality working saluki they can do most things needed and have speed wind and courage.
  17. new club with a good reputation its hard enough to get kids interested in boxing instead of Gameboys and computers as some one suggested pm Gnasher he will know where to take him atb
  18. its not a matter of getting the trainer in trouble ,its a matter of stopping an unfit kid picking up a serious injury through lack of guidance and conditioning. Honestly the trainer should know better
  19. change the club your nephew goes to the trainer sounds like a clown mate
