This springer would mark fox earths, dig and kill rats, would do a job as a dog at end of a dig, flush fur and feather, very hard and tough shaker of a fox. He's a very old style type, not polluted with field trial breeding. He died bout a few yrs ago. He was used as a gundog and ran with hounds, terriers and lurchers.

But it's the terrier man that'll hang for it.

Had to be seen to do something drastic after that f***ing video. The fall out not over yet.

Time's change and if we can't evolve and change with the times then we'll be extinct. Things that were done before can't be done these days and FOR f**k SAKE put the phones down when out after foxes. In Ireland we're still all hunting away but the phones are gonna be our downfall too if lads don't cop on and also start behaving more professional like out at the foxes.

WHAT’S THE FUTURE FOR LURCHER WORK ?
harryshounds replied to Barrie's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
As I said earlier in the post, lurcher work especially for rabbits can't be just about pest control. It's a very environmently friendly, carbon free, method of harvesting good clean free range meat.....it's a very sustainable way to get food and provides valuable means of pest control and also excellent way for young people to get exercise, fresh air, keep out of trouble by having a hobbie etc........ -
Anyone defending that video really doesn't get it tbh. That video is so bad it's like the antis do a 'white helmets' and staged the f***ing thing, anti gold it's that bad, and a week after the Scots closed loop holes allowing trail hunting, f**k me. To film that and share it in the current atmosphere is beyond stupid, I'd nearly go as far as to say there's agent provocateurs at work there. Shocking.

Yeah but filming it is f***ing stupid especially with what happened in Scotland. Some things don't need to be filmed. Most of my mates aren't anti hunting, they don't care about it either way, but if you showed a fox getting dropped to a pack of hounds they wouldn't like it!!! Fact is most people are ignorant to hunting, they don't give a f**k, more important thing to worry bout but if an anti showd em a video (usually one taken by someone actually hunting) and asked em should that be banned they'll say yeah, especially when it a fox and hounds and c**ts in red coats.

It's a lottery but it helps when you can pick a pup your happy with for whatever reason.

Bearded collie cross greyhound breeder
harryshounds replied to GeorgiaK96's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Can genuine first cross border collie x greyhound still be got? Anyone out there putting working collies and good greyhound together??? -
Unless I travel to follow mates footpacks then it's mostly by myself, brought my son alot but now has no interest these days. An odd day with one or two lads I know yrs. A mates young lad is hunting mad so he's started to come out with me a bit. Mostly by myself and tbh I'm happy like that. Yrs ago went out with different lads digging and different crews but found all the bullshit, snakey behavior etc.....too much for me, not into it. Do wish my son kept the interest but ya can't force em. Most of my best hunts and days were by myself.

WHAT’S THE FUTURE FOR LURCHER WORK ?
harryshounds replied to Barrie's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I only just watched em on YouTube. Never ever get anything like that on telly again. Very good show. Jack's blunt and honest in it. A pack of beagles catch a hare in the show and Jack says "all wild animals die violent deaths, none of em die peacefully in their bed"....very true. But he also very clear about the benefits of the hunting sports he does the shows about. -
Trusting an inexperienced bitch

Very very true. -
WHAT’S THE FUTURE FOR LURCHER WORK ?
harryshounds replied to Barrie's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
The argument for lurcher work should not be just about pest control but also a very sustainable method of harvesting meat that should be encouraged. The green types want more free range, low carbon types of food harvesting and ferreting and lamping is as free range and low carbon as you can get. -
Really is nothing better than enjoying a young dog making good progress on the rd to being a good worker....it's so satisfying especially cos we know how shit it is when a young in isn't making the grade.

I look for quite confident one, not necessarily the one jumping all over you and definitely not one with it's tail between it's legs. It's a lotto though at end of the day cos even the nervy last picked can make good uns in right hands.

My last response to this thread cos I not on here for political debate. I live in an area with many immigrants of all countries and I'm happy with it. We've problems with Irish scumbsgs and forigen scumbags, like most areas. I'm coach in a local boxing club and we've kids of all types, colours and religions and all are welcome. No I wouldn't have an issue with refugees being housed in my area. Would I have an issue with some of them behaving criminally? yes obviously and I'd deal with that IF or WHEN happened. Criminalizing all refugees is no different to "No blacks, No dogs, No Iri

Not always Francie.....Irish mobs in America, Liverpool etc.... Criminals exist in every ethnic group and every class. Most of the big social problems we have in Ireland can be traced to our own native Irish banker class. Should we tolerate criminals? No. Should we tar every immigrant with same brush? No. As an Irish man, proud socialist republican, I don't support these protests. But I come on this site for the hunting stuff and for bit of a entertainment.....so I'm finished with this thread now.
