  1. how many working bedlingtons are there? would it be easier to find a hard mute patterdale or a working bedlington?
  2. without those stray dogs lots of the native Dumbrians would have nothing to eat but the tourists,have you never seen the film 'wrong turn'? do you really want that on your conscience?
  3. why so much hate here? lol i like the vast majority of dogs,even a lot of small show bred pet dogs have good attitudes and can be very loyal and friendly imo they are the only types of dogs a lot of people should have.
  4. useless ones. not all of them though,i mean there'd be no point in a lonely old pensioner having a well bred lurcher,some little pet breeds have good temperaments.
  5. i used to work at a kennel that trained pp/search and rescue/sports dogs for private sale but also boarded pets,we tested literally hundreds of the untrained pets to see what they were like if their handler/carer got attacked,the best on average by far were terriers and male rottweilers,they were the most natural protectors i found (to the albeit little pressure we applied).
  6. i can't call mine off,but theres nothing quite like slipping a dog just before you hear a dull noise and see a lanny or tractor come round the corner. those times i wish i could.
  7. not queers. just gimps who overcompensate by acting like jonny rambo, because they know they'd never hack it in the army.
  8. you preferred the boyzone days?

    izacla we want britin back british,cant be doin with all these muslamic infidels with there muslamic ray guns. this fella says it better than me.
  10. well yeah they can get back on terms faster when they get threw off,but they aren't made to actually catch,unlike lurchers. did you ever course with your racers?
  11. I was thinking more about the turns,if the hound gets 100 odd yards flat out sprinting and the hare turns sharpish its going to end up 3 fields away.
  12. well tbf my little whippet x isnt made for that type of hunting lol i still think if we were allowed a couple more slips a good suitable lurcher would beat hers.
  13. frst time ive heard of a racing greyhound used for hunting aswell.well technically they would be the best for a course.no other dog will beat them for speed.agreyhound will hit top speed around 46 miles an hour some even faster,within three strides.but like i said brainless to a fault.used to give them live kills,but that can back fore aswell.makes them sleep in the trap sometimes.many years ago used to give a lad who worked a flapping track a fiver to tie a live rabbit on the hare rail lol oh how that sounds soooo wrong theses days hahah when i said i didnt believe her dogs could turn
  14. 3k plus all the time and effort put in, i'll bet your still feeling that now lol theres an old lady near me who races them but also hunts with them,but she's got a lot of land,and i imagine its mainly big fields. its funny she swears blind they're better than any lurcher in every way in the field,but take a look at them and one in particular's more scar tissue than dog. she says she always starts them on live quarry because it makes them keener.
  15. they dont mean to swallow it mate,it gets kicked back in thier faces as they run.guess you could say well they should be out in front and they wouldnt get that prob lol however we dont always want our dogs to win plenty road work,but more importantly get it galloping and running.good rub downs and wee tonic,or a b12 injection.best of grub,i mean fresh veg,meat goats milk.just the best you can get and commitment.after all we want a return on our investment.im not bragging and you can check all my posts never once have i,but my father and me spent serious cash on dogs,and no use having an open
  16. i wouldn't of thought of the dog swallowing sand during a race. going a bit off topic, but what would a conditioning program look like for a racing dog?
  17. what does that mean scot? in racing greyhounds.when they take knocks and bumps during a race,after a while they get a build up of fluid at the back of thier head.if you put your fingers at the back of thier ears,you will feel to small bones like a ratchet.best doing it with your thumbs.but ONLY if you have been showed how to.dont go f*****g about in there if you havent done it before.work those two bones with your thumbs,the dog will yap a wee bit as you do it,however after a bit and the fluid starts to disopate,it will be just like any other dog who likes getting its ears rubbed.i have
  18. I can understand your way of thinking to a degree, but honestly, they are hardier than they look! They also run like the wind! All your suggestions have been done already & she isn't likely to approach strangers anyway, I was just really looking for some help with gundogs to see if there was any way we could find her, the area she is in is vast forestry & scrubland that people have no way of getting through to search. Do you know of anybody in the area that would help with their dogs please? Thank you...Cheryl. im nowhere near there nor do i have search and rescue dogs im
  19. no offence mate but it's that kind of mentality that helped get the pitbull banned! any medium or large dog could rag a kid if a knob owns it! I had a mastiff cross until last year, I have never seen a dog as good as him with kids in my life. He stood 28" and was 50kg, I took him out of my car once and there was a woman and her 4 year old son on the car park, the kid dropped his mums hand and legged it to my dog and hugged him from the front. My dog loved it, I politely explained that it was a bit of a stupid move for her to let him do that as if it was a savage or nervous dog the kid w
  20. as long as your not taking them off or very close to a shoots land i dont see the problem.
  21. see its just like a book your teacher would read to you in reception while putting on a funny voice. "and then the disgruntled scotsman slobbered 'get rid a the gingers an the gays, oh an dont forget the fatty's an the pikeys, an then ill start using spellchecker jus tae keep the peace, an ffs dont ban the keyboard hunters, no matter there faults, cos the place will be deed ' while sloppily shoveling another spoonful of porridge into his mouth"
