im from darlo and my dogs rip cats apart when they get hold of them wether it be in the street or garden its still gunna die the cats are hard as feck up here only two days ago my muts are on the lead and the cat came over and started hissing and clawing at ma dog so i let it have a scrag of it then pulled him off does that make me a wanker?? tell you what is wank the same c**ts who moan about it should keep their f*****g cats under control on a lead and out of my garden if they did then maybe ma dogs wouldnt wanna rip them apart!!! i dont condone "cat coursing" but if theres one jumps out on

have to agree, swimming is excellent for a working/running dog i used to swim mine 2 times a week and walk/run the lure for the rest of it if i was racing him then id either swim him 1ce and lead walk the rest or just take him out and give him a few long slips that seemed to keen him up no end and when he hit the track he would fly

aye think you may be right bout it not being for me lol i dont tell anyone anything....... i ran my dog and he won 3 off the bat in the 440m one by about 4 lengths lol i never ever bet on him anyhow i just like running him (i think im fecking daft too fellas) anyhow this guy comes over n asks me how i get him to run so quick when he usually runs about 26-27secs lol my mate looked at me as if to say tell him an il kill ya so i piped up well before i bring him in i talk to him in the motor telling him he has to win then i said i spin him round and shot me finger up his ass n give the command cha

id like to put my grey in this but wouldnt have a clue where to start???? bet he'd do ok though as ive started him on the fields how do you go about getting your dog running in it???

to be honest with you fellas i dont really enjoy it that much? dont know why but i think its a bit pointless travelling there running in one race and going home again, dont get me wrong i love to see my stan run but ive stopped going now as id rather try and build his stamina up then run him on the fields after something with its own mind. i guess im just a lurcher man through and through lol as above i love watching him run even though it sounds like im a bit of a miserable c**t lol. i appreciate though that the tracks are dying out which is a total shame when you see how much the people who

allright rob, yep i spose it would be a bit wierd if he didnt leave them although tere are some fast lurchers out there, it did have bends in the course though lol hence coursing not straight racing lol he did well to win and went to the track on the friday and won again in the 440m he has turned out to be a decent dog even though he's still a young un im going to start him on the lamp tonight so will have to get me finger out and get cracked on lol see what he's like on proper game i know he does cats!!

forgot to put a pic of him up heres me dog stan

alright people, well lets see what can i say?? i decided to take my grey along to a lurcher show where they do that simulated coursing, never said anything to anyone just went and entered him, ran about 16 ties and wiped the floor with the lurchers they stayed with him until the firast turn then mine just opened up and left them for dust gaining the whole 450-500 yards he went on to win it so id say yeah you can use a grey to course as well as track im doing it lol the only prob was after he had finished he got stiff and started limping poor sod he was right after 2 days rest and is racing aga

any good post this is, in my opinion which of course means nothing at all lol i have both lurchers and a greyhound id say yes you could use a greyhound to course however be prepared for toe and frequent leg injuries also they do not seem to last as long as a lurcher can although the speed is rapid they lack the sharp turn of a lurcher when sat behind a long ear and often turn like the arc royal would...... again just my own observations, i will let you know by xmas if its possible to do both as mine isnt gunna be used for track 100% i intend to work him and see what he's like on things that

alright mate, to get into them just goto a flapping track or a proper stadium and get talking to people i did and ended up with someones problem dog full of worms and fleas cost me nothing, that has become (in the short time ive had him and for his age) a real beauty running well and keen as mustard. theres plenty of people on here that will probably help you out as i say above am just into them meself so stil ent got a clue what im doing at the track but if you have lurchers treat them like one its working ok for me lol you will find though they get tired much much quicker and can't go for as

silky has a good point there hence why i walk mine and run him on the lure alongside my lurchers, he hasnt got loads of muscles like others you see at the track he is a racey dog and only small at 27 1/2" he is fast enough though, i find you cannot get them fit with just road work or letting them off for a galop about for 20 mins you need to mix it up hence to condition him i have put him on formula along side the redmills gear which to date is working, i take him out (if i race friday) monday on the lure 4 slips straight line thats it, tuesday 4 slips again then rests until friday just gettin

lol to be fair though i went out back in late 99-00 and got caught over scarbrough way there was about 7 of us and yep you guessed it we were done for tresspass and gang poaching by 5 or more members fines £100 at pickering courthouse i think it was and sent on our way..... wouldnt care but my dog chased a hare 3 fields turned it inside out ran it all the way back and the hare squatted in a bunny hole my dog stood over it, sniffed and just turned and walked back to me lol i caught nowt but bloody cold could of killed the dog like but ce la vie they were some good times back then shame the old

im sat here laughing my arse off that is a beauty, i was expecting them to get get jail time but no....... pissy community service what a result, goes to show me one thing the hunting bill is a load of shite and lads will still go and do what they want the stats for the last 6 month were good too, 1100 cases of hare coursing and only 50 cases of deer in lincoln thats great lol the rspca bell end looked like he was gunna cry lol what a post

thanks again bluediamond i have had him chipped now and he ran again last sunday and qualified so now he is entered to race on the 1st april lol should be fun am looking forward to it even if he isnt lol

lamping lurchers you know nowt about me you ding how do you know all i see is ££££ eh your obviously a fool dont bother replying it'l save you some time as i wont respond you pratt. blue diamond, cheers for the reply i took him to the local flapping track in the end and gave him a run the people there were very very helpful although he wasnt the fastst there he did ok for a young unfit dog and some of the other pups of similar age didnt even run never mind see the trap lol mine started from the trap and was off so least im half way there i thought it'd be a nightmare to get him back but no
