  1. Lol nice vid, that song does stick in your head
  2. My collie grey/ deerhound/ collie is 7 now and he always stops 10-15 feet away with rabbits/ big rabbits and won't come closer despite lots of training from my dad who has trained labs and spaniels and been in the retrieving game for 30 years! So E s
  3. What a cracking looking dog. An old tip passed down to me was a few teaspoons of olive oil into the meal every day to keep the coat shining. By the looks o that it's a bottle a day you've put in haha! Well done on the maintenance of that dog credit to you! Excellent...
  4. Reminds me a bit of Leo the lion! Nice what's the breeding? Collie an Beddy in there somewhere I imagine
  5. My cousin was a game keeper up in west Scotland 8 Years ago his hills were littered with White hares, now there is not 1! Bags of 7 or 8 a day were not uncommon for years. No one seen a single White h for two years. Think the fact that birds of prey are protected there now has resulted in the buzzards etc wiping out the population! There are dozens flying around now. They are nice to watch but at the same time parasites for us dog men.We can't be certain but that seems to be the only logical reason as bad weather wouldn't wipe out every hare....
  6. Yeah the ground looks pretty flat aswell. Cracking looking combination of dogs
  7. Can use photobucket now........... What you think of this dog? Nearly 7 now, trying to get him back to his best
  8. Collie/Whippet/Greyhound with a touch of deerhound in there somewhere.
  9. What do you lad's use to post photos? I am trying to use windows photo editor but the images are tiny when i re-size them....???
  10. Doing big ears north of the border needs up and at em mentality to catch within first10 turns or so as fields are small and loads of high fences. whippet/ gh first crosses imho are the best I have seen up here, will def be looking for one the next pup I get. They seem to do well in the shows aswell, providing they are off good lines.
  11. My collie/whippet/grew had a high prey drive until he ripped his leg open on a fence, now he stops at fences on the lamp really gutting hasn't took a h on the lamp since ( 12months ago) regularly took 2's an 3's..... Would probably prefer having one with high drive than brains as the chases last longer and it outweighs the possible vet bills disadvantage of the odd knocks and injuries.
  12. Have a good one. Hopefully loads of game out for a boxing day run!!!
  13. Well said totally agree these four are what lurchers are bred for..... Anything that takes all four during the day and on lamp on a fairly regular basis is the closest thing to an all rounder available.
  14. Very nice dog, looks almost like a Waterloo cup ghound I'm guessing it's 3/4 saluki cross?
  15. I don't understand y so many people complain about lamping hs. It still takes a good dog to take one in winter and there are 5 times as many out in the fields than during the day so it is better sport. And for the record a lot of the dogs run in the forley cup etc can't kill a h on the lamp, I have witnessed it!
  16. My cousin has that cross, too slow for daytime and even lamping h. If you only need it for rabbits then good choice otherwise I wouldn't say it was the best choice for an all rounder...
