  1. I reckon you should stand the Don dog at public stud. He'd do nothing but good to the lurcher population. He's got enough of the right kind of collie to make an impact on any line. but how many would do such a line the justice. Breeding's one thing, entering, raising and fielding are a whole different ball game
  2. couple of healthy solid pups there Gafer, look like they've had 3 shredded wheat
  3. Should have got a collie x. she waited till she was 10 weeks before she self entered, but had the brains to hog tie it and carry it home
  4. I'min it purely for the sport, plus it keeps me out of trouble
  5. had loads mole skins off John Norris. well made and worth he money.
  6. Can a mod please move this to the appropriate foxhound section
  7. He told me that once, but fortuneatley I was too pi##ed to remember
  8. I'm an admirer of most base lines of lurchers. Like Fuji, I have collie, bull and saluki types, but for me, a well bred and wisely rear cur is a joy to work with, not just to watch. I guess thats why I've gone back to what I know works for me. The writings of a departed wordsmith may have been little more than an branding exercise for the collie x, and has probably done more to tarnish the types reputation in the long run. So just keep on keeping on
  9. Think my missus is part collie, she can tell when my bag is getting full and acts accordingly too! mine must be a bull x. Entered too early, looked the part. then went on to jack. She just a pet now
  10. Too true Border lad. the modern collie has changed into pet and other sub types that never existed before. most of the modern collie x's that replicate the abilities of old have had modern coursing dogs added, and/or terrier x's which appears to negate some of the less desirable modern collie traits.it "simples 'em up" a bit
  11. sign upto the local rural watch scheme. That will update its users of suspicious vehicles spotted and notified to the police for alleged poaching.
  12. In the eyes of some in "authority" the fact that you are walking a dog on a slip, or having a slip lead in your possession is equivalent to going equipped.
  13. You know when your in two minds?!?!............. Itchy slip syndrome
  14. Never mind scruffing the dog, whoever left him in this state wants a kicking Hope you get it sorted though.
  15. down load them to a Photobucket acount. then copy and paste the Img code onto here
  16. They are all in the woods up here. Spent a couple of afternoon shooting them flighting in from a telehandler workstation. birds coming in at eye level like driven grouse. some of the best shooting I've had in years
  17. grab it by its lugs, they should be big enough!
  18. nice to see a bit of rouge on a show dog
  19. reminded me of one of my own! not much of a coursing dog, but he's quite handy at mugging game and vermin That's the type I'm I about, looks class reminded me of one of my own! not much of a coursing dog, but he's quite handy at mugging game and vermin That's the type I'm I about, looks class Cheers mate. I find him a useful critter. but if I only had the one lurcher, it would not be this type.

  21. My 28 bore is one of the few guns I really regret selling. A aya matador side by side. 1/2 and full choke, by christ did it hit hard for a small gun. lovely patterns with 21g no6. light as a feather, perfect for walked up grouse and partridge, and never shamed by normal pheasants. Loaned it to a mate to teach his son to shoot and he offered my a silly price after using it himself for the back end of the season. I'll never learn
  22. I have shot rats, squirrels and magpies off of the bird table from the bathroom window of my Bungalow. That's with 2 1/2'' Eley Fourlongs in a Hushpower Baikal. I wouldn't even dream of trying it with the 12g SX 3. i've shot a rat on the bird table from 5 yards with a 12 bore. feck all left of it. And that included the bird table. Effective though
