What breeding is the bitch dilly?
A was gifted her from a friend up north who was a beat keeper on a grouse moor, without getting her pedigree out I wouldn't have a clue.

Got a bitch in season now, half tempted, she's a driven, game bitch, I'm more inclined to wait for the cattle dog cross though. I was offered a well bred pup yesterday but it didn't seem right having a pup from a litter where I've got no iron in the fire.

I don't think it would take much learning with these clever sods, they pick up anything just from watching and listening. When I started Ozz lamping I'd already had the summer drilling the hand signals into him, palm of my hand means "stop" , hand flat meant "lie down" , a bit over the top for someone that doesn't poach but I like to see their brains work. Well the first few nights I can't tell you the frustration I had when Ozz, for no reason would stop (without me knowing) would stop and stay while all the time I'd be walking on ! I'd get a hundred yards or so, flick the lamp on and the retard would be where I last had a look. It wasn't for a few weeks that I realised he thought the lamp going down by my side in my hand was the palm open and he'd got to sit and stay
I could tell you a few stories about him being on the ball but I don't want to steal the thread, I look forward to hearing the stories of your youngster.

One of the first cross litter, I was lucky enough to be given him as a pup, very intelligent, very game, very loyal, if I could of put a list together to get my perfect dog I couldn't of hoped to get it better.

This will be the mating. Atb adam
Is that the dog by Ozz Adam ?

Doesn't look like this bitch is holding, I'm up for a plan B
Ozz is getting no younger, it would of been nice to get something by him direct but this greyhound bitch isn't going to give me what I want.

Any joy with pups of oz
No mate, she's only 4-5 week, no signs of yet, if she doesn't hold this time there's obviously something wrong and I'll have to try plan B

There’s some collie and greyhound in there somewhere and no definitely don’t want to bite people been well socialised since I got him at 9 weeks old great round livestock and people been at work with me since I got him. Atb
My dog was a rotten b*****d with any stranger up until he was about 15-18 months old. He was bought up in a family, he was around kids and cattle from day one but he wouldn't wear strangers.
Hope he works out for you mate, he'll look a different dog once he shapes up.........saying that I'm still carrying my puppy fat at 55

Got a bitch here, marks well, fearless too, I'd defy anyone to get in the car when the wife takes her out, f***ing savage, the dogs nasty too

No idea why the pictures upside down, must be because he's Australian

Second time of trying, he's going over a greyhound as soon as she's ready, should be sometime this week. I AI'd her twice six months ago but she didn't hold, fingers crossed this time, he's getting no younger.

Her sister did well this morning.
only a yapper and not good for much else but
you can tip her in anywhere.
half hour and shes normally out.
Probably put more tackle away with that type than anything else, I'm short of one that's for sure

Putanges, push them right down the tube as far as possible, make sure tube has been cleaned out with a spoon. I make my own triggers for putanges, very kittle on rusty traps, good rusty trap and trigger has little chance of false firing. i make different sizes for different sized tubes, in my opinion you want the jaws of the trap hugging the tube wall, i have the triggers to do that. the shape also stops any tip backs of the trigger without firing, since i started making these a few years back my catch ratio with putanges has gone right up. i like the pipe trap as well for spooky moles and has been previously said move the to a different location.
I always use the triggers on their side, earth is easy enough to move to make sure it's a perfect fit. You're spot on with the snug fit, it definitely helps.

Typical mate what’s your next plan then? Find another bitch
Try again next time, no plan B, if I can't get something by him I'll call it a day with the lurchers.

You are right Brother,....some dogs , although small in stature, seemed to be veritable giants, in the hunting field....
Beautiful that Phil, I'd be happy with something of that stamp from this mating. Like I said, I'm not a lurcher man, never really have been, terriers stole my heart many years ago. I do appreciate the company of a lurcher and without starting another tit for tat load of nonsense on here I just love the old type that I saw as a kid

Dilly.... What you mean, finally got round to measuring him he's 23-24... not sure what the tape said mate lol
But I know what you mean about it never mattered before.
Keep us updated mate with how the bitch is getting on / if she's took
I used to bother when I was a snot nosed kid, just something I don't really care about anymore. I always thought he was bigger than he actually is.

What size are the dog and bitch? She come off the track mate.?
Quick update, I finally got around to measuring him this morning, he's 23-24 she's 26-27 depending on how they stood and my patience
Never bothered before, his hight never mattered to his heart and he's got guts to burn

God knows why it's upside down, without incriminating myself I can guarantee they're more than capable at retrieving shot foxes

Just shows how deceiving pictures are mate, with that picture of him sat down.
Like I said before, should make proper uns. All the best mate
I could be off but it won't be by much, I'm not a lurcher man in any way shape or form, I haven't measured a lurcher for decades, he just suits me.

He'd be 25, no idea what the bitch is, roughly 27-28, she's my lads bitch, she's a coursing bitch imported from Ireland.
