Training can start at a young age,but I try to incorporate it into play sessions and keep the lessons short the worst thing you can do with a young dog is to overtrain it this will make it stale and unresponsive. It's better to do 10 minutes once a day all week than 2 x 30 minute sessions at the weekend "Quote"I dont belive telling the dog to, sit, stay, go their, do this. I prefer a dog, to use its head, learn from experinces and to work out differemt situations for it self. Frank. Each to their own Frank but i've yet to see a well trained lurcher that can't think f

Yes I suffer the same way but find it worse in the summer when I get home about 2am after fishing for sea trout,it's usually daylight before I drop off.

Had a HW97K a few years back,shooting wise it was excellent,really smooth. The only drawback for me was the weight,I found it a bit heavy. Had a go with my mates HW90 on many occasions and never liked it,more recoil than the 97.

They will get a reprieve in the spring and summer.

Yes would be my answer,i've seen them advertised as bull/greyhound 2nd crosses. Most of us think 3/4 breds when we say 2nd cross but in this case they would be 1/2x1/2 bred.

You must have some patience rabbithunter,how long did it take to knit a 50 yarder? Crackin' looking net. :thumbs-up:

It's always been worked out in fractions gnasher16,for example a first cross is never reffered to as 50% collie and 50% greyhound,it's always half collieand half greyhound. It's easier to work out the breeding in fractions the more different breeds you have in the mix, as you just go from halfs to quarters to eights and even sixteenths. For example.....1/4 saluki..3/8 greyhound...1/16 bedlington...1/16 collie..1/8 deerhound..1/8 bull. would be..25% salukie..37.5%greyhound..6.25% bedlington..6.25% collie..12.5%deerhound.12.5% bull. I don't know about you but I think with the fra

Just watched the lampers sporting dogs,plenty of action but the dogs If I had dogs like that I wouldn't be showing them off to anyone.there was only one decent dog in the video the wee fawn coloured whippet/bull.Not one of the others retrieved, they were hard mouthed and a few of them were giving tongue Strictly lamping in my view is a far better dvd.

Above is a pic of my first lurcher[excuse the quality as its a photo of a photo] that I got more than 20 years ago,she was collie/grey x grey/stag. A staghound was a rough coated dog usually bred from a grey/deerhound.I got the bitch at 6 weeks and although I'd read a couple of books out of the library I really hadn't a clue what to expect. I don't know wether it was beginers luck or what but she turned out to be a really good bitch,she had a very soft mouth and would retrieve for fun.She was brilliant at ferreting and had a fantastic nose.Lamping was not her forte however as she was 4 befor

Good question jacob,this could turn out to be an interesting thread. :thumbs-up: I will post my answer when I have more time and after giving it some thought.

I tend to keep the lamp on when calling them in[with the red filter on] I keep the beam to the side of the fox,I can still see the eyes reflecting off the side of the beam. I've tried many different calls but found pursing my lips and squeaking to be as good as any. Once the fox is interested I keep the noise of the squeaks down,I find this encourages them in. However every fox is different,some come in like collie dogs while others take off as soon as you flick on the beam.It's all just trial and error,and you'll have a lot of fun as you learn.

Hope you get the dog back bigdan,and catch the thieving b s as well.

Are you sure it's his wrist baz,not a shoulder or one of his toes? Is there any swelling in the wrist?If there is stand the wrist in a bucket of cold water for 10minutes 2-3 times a day untill the swelling goes down. The portamag is handy,mine is on every day.

During the winter[colder weather] I'll put a rabbit in the hutch[3 jills] and wait untill it's been eaten which usually takes 3-4 days before I feed them again.The jills get handled every day,and it's this handling that tells me if their in good condition.After you've had them a while you'll soon get the hang of it.
