    yes the dog in question was a 1st cross collie greyhound and very well known around my area as he helped school numerous pups on the big stuff [pre ban] cant seem to find my downloaded pics of him but when i do i will post one for you

    the dog in question mate WOULD not be pulled around by a roe i assure you it was built like a brick shit house with a set of shoulders to be proud of. i knew it would be doubted by afew [fair play] but like a few posts have said it can be done [very very handy dog] atb billy

    its funny how this post came up when a keeper mate of mine just got off the phone and told me that the hares on his patch have some sort of virus[ not mixy lol] a farmer had noticed a few werent getting up from there seat when he was rolling the fields ,i think they will be sent to defra or whoever deals in that stuff

    i didnt do reds mate just roe and yes he took a few knocks but he never let go and this isnt a wind up i reckon more collie crosses may have adapted to this type of hold as they got older and wiser i did put a pic up of this dog a while back on this same topic

    i owned a 1st cross manyyears ago 26 tts best working dog i ever owned no good on hares but they werent my thing,teeth were easy for him didnt take him long to suss out how to keep a deer still [he would just grab them by the hock and wait till i got there] fantastic ferreting dog good ratter i would recommend one to anyone new to the sport as they are easy to train and very loyal to there master

    congratulations lads on a cracking write up and a good size bag of rabbits ,but what i like about this post is that lads are inviting other lads to have a good nights lamping and no doubt a good friendship is born my kind of people atb billy[ex lurcher man]

    i have to agree to a post on the doberman breed being very nervous and touchy,probably because the breeders spoilt them in the 70s &80s. my dad owned one and it was a nervous wreck ,personally i wouldnt cross one with a greyhound.on the other hand someone mentioned alsation x greyhound, a few lads i knew ran them and they done the buissiness on the big stuff and they kept there gaurding instincts to ward there owners muuch to the despair of a few keepers who tried it on with them -silly buggers

    i reckon it was a genuine mistake mate ferret in the wrong place at the wrong time ,and it doesnt take much from a lurcher to knack one have a bit of faith in the dog it probably wont happen again in your whole life time

    i live in jarrow mate and your book wiould be well looked after.i have the training spaniels book by joe irving but a freind advised me to have a look at the learning chain,he had just gave his away to someone down country.im picking a pup up on sunday and wanted to see if there was anything i could learn from it. if you wanted a swap i could do that mate. if your too far away i will giveit a miss and probably just buy the book via internet
  18. ftm

    i had a cocker bitch that was a great worker but did struggle with larger birds so if your doing a lot of wild fowling it would be a lab in my opinion

    took my border collie to the vets at the age of 17 he was petrified so i just told the vet i was sorry but he cant go like this .i done the deed at one of my permissions and there he rests .cried all way home i thought i wasa bit tougher than that but im not ashamed to admit it these animals become part of you lads im sure you will make the right desicion mate
