  1. Saluki bull hound x wheaten hound


    Pups for there if anyone’s interested, Dam is 3/4 bull hound bitch sent over to “razor”, who was a top coursing dog in Uk,  so she’s saluki bull hound, 26tts

     

    sire is 3/8 5/8 wheaten hound dog to full Irish coursing greyhound bitch. Makes him very close to 7/8 wheaten hound. Have both parents from pups, Both have a job and are out with hounds every weekend and lamped during the winter.

    pups will be at the very least quick lurchers!! 

    Didnt breed for money so €100 a pup and they be vaccinated before they go.

  2. lads is there any decent bred small type pups about or have they disappeared in favour of bigger dogs? Had a shocking year with the terriers and left with very little for this coming season and on the scout for a few new additions, Good few on here know me and know Ive work for a few small terriers, just can’t seem to get hold of them about me!!

    Oh, OK, he real took to the terrier side of the cross, no wonder he's sitting in a truck full of hounds minding his own business . Great jacket on him for thick cover.

    Yea the dog is a placid oul whuir, switches on around a mark but laxed enough other than that, the bitch is identical but far keener to find and hunt. I only chanced them on because I was down on numbers. They will be replaced this year I think. Not ideal for long hunts.

    Nice pics indeed. The red terrier type sitting at the tailgate, is he a full terrier or a cross ? He looks an old fashioned type.

    Border beagle cross Neil, I’ve a dog and bitch off same litter. Only young but tipping away now.564DCD6C-C6A0-443E-8813-FE22769B4768.thumb.jpeg.e34391f0fd0a45ae282fec3dbc89b7f3.jpeg

  5. Did garmin have any issue letting you download the BirdsEye mapping onto the alpha mate? I’m afraid to try incase they lock it on me knowing it’s not allowed to be used this neck of the woods!!

  6. The vet I use knows what the dogs here do, last time I went to him for the vaccine bottles for pups he said to give all the dogs the 7 in one every year now the once off isn't upto scratch anymore on some strains of the virus. I guess nature is coming up with stronger strains of disease/viruses to override human intervention, rats building up immunities to some poisons, worms becoming immune to some workers, it's evolution evolving to its environment I guess...... But know absolutely nothing about it, lol.

  7. So you put a pic up of a dead hare shot legally and fetched back by your lurcher = 100% legal, pic gets took down

     

    Put up a video of foxes being legally killed on the lamp in Ireland also 100% legal, video stays up and everyone thinks its fine

     

    1. Whats the difference both are 100% legal

     

    2. Which 1 do you think does the most damage to fielsports

    I've been told yesterday, rightly or wrongly that there are a couple of cases up very shortly in Ireland where intentionally causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal are the charges bein pressed upon lurcher lads that were caught doing a bit of foxing by night.... Food for thought!!
  8. At 7months a lot of people won't even take them out because they can start to babble, I.e bark on any old scent at all and if not corrected then it's a habit that can become very regular. The voice will come with age and if all the beagles you've seen going have been running a line and giving tongue at 7months they were very exceptional pups, and if possible could you find out if any could be purchased because the penny doesn't usually drop with any I've bred, reared or seen until after 16 months or so.

    John from gwent galvanizers is a sound fella-rang him with the sizes and had them made in a week also supplied the roof sheets etc.my block of 4 terrier runs with a roof came in under 800 notes.attachicon.gif20160929_185646.jpg

    The gap between the door and panel seems big Daniel is it, Would You run into bother with pups and young terriers? I'd have preferred the hinging to be a bit tighter than it looks, tidy setup tho.
    I don't keep dogs that grab others(only one place they go)-they won't enter each others runs or boxes-I spend time socialising all my dogs be it terriers or lurchers.not had an accident in over 15 yrs fingers crossed.atb dc
    I never said anything about grabbing each other or fighting, so your method of socialising isn't in question. I simple ment a handy terrier could get his head out between the gate and panel, and a pup could easily walk through, it's 2" weld mesh, so 2" squares, and judging off the picture I'd be guesstimating that gap is similar size to two squares so around 4".... So I suppose my point that the chap from the galvanisers may be a top bloke but his workmanship is shoddy enough if he needs that much of a gap to hinge 1" box iron!!

  11. You have to laugh at the vast majority of gun clubs here, in reality all they are is a way for lazy fuckers to renew there firearms license without having to go to the effort of actually going out and getting written permission off individual farmers. I was one of the organisers of reforming our local club that had previously died a death 15/20 odd year ago and after three years on the committee I said I can see exactly why the last club went down the tubes!! We had over three grand in the kitty and the c**ts wouldn't spend a penny..... The week before the season they would want to buy 20/30 birds to release...... I was the only one with Larsen traps going, one or two took them after I made the club buy them with grant aided funds, they had a path worn to me every weekend looking for a call bird cause on there Saturday trip to check the trap they mysteriously discovered the call bird was dead!!!! I was the only one doing fox drives in our area and the only lads that were coming out were mates from different areas that didn't shoot pheasants but loved foxing, also lamping well over 100 foxes a year in our area alone. The c**ts would do nothing! In the end when they wouldn't agree to build a release pen I put one up on my own land and left the club. Low and behold who did I meet sneaking in along the screen bounding my pen the opening morn only the top doggy of the club!!lol, needless to say he got back into his jeep and headed off....I haven't shot a pheasant yet this year and only a handful last year but still rear them and release, still at the foxes but haven't been out after a pheasant yet. Everyone I talk to around here say they are meeting nothing and I know from hunting the beagles that they are very scarce, Is it any bloody wonder!!! Clubs like the one here should get massive fines from the NARGC for not doing vermin counts, not releasing birds and basically doing nothing to regenerate the area only try deplete it the first couple weeks of November.

    Rant over but it would depress ya thinking about it!

    That is for the reply, nice dog looks nice and strong

     

    Any good fox digger ? Looks handy

     

    Not the best I've ever had but an honest bitch at the same time, she earns her keep mate!

  13.  

     

     

    All I've ever really run are 3/4's. 3/4 collies, 3/4 wheatens and 3/4 bulls. What I wouldn't own is a one trick pony!!

    How did your pup turn out of razor to your bitch mate ??
    She turned into a fine bitch mate, picture to look at in the flesh, my photography skills are shite! she's still here so that gives her some bit of credit!! Her mother was 3/4 bull hound bitch given to razor, that would leave this one a bit finer again. You can see the bull that bit more diluted than her mother but far racier, cleaver, and lasts a lot longer. She has a fair bit pts at this stage, I'm pretty happy with her all in all, in time I think a racey 3/4 bull hound back over her and I'd be sure I'd have exactly the type that suits where and what I run. She looks a lot stronger in the pics than she actually is.
