.im not trying to preach to any f****r....im just saying that theres alot of dogs passed around, one of the boys that i mentioned, took 8 month pup out on lamp, slipped it, and it turned round and jumped at his hand. he got rid? cos it wasnt keen ? its a joke. then you got two men on here that have supposedly had dogs most their ife, telling me im in the wrong, yet you openly admit on the other forum that youve had loads of failed dogs? yet this is my first and shes doing ok...? lol just because its my first dog your making out it should instantly fail , or i have low standards?

Ill give you a break.
but I wouldn't lecture some one with vastly more experience in something than I had. I'm honest when I look at a dog, if you'v never had a Lurcher what have you to judge it against?
infact, i couldnt careless. i know nothing....i havent lectured anyone, read what i said. i cba to go over old ground.

Did you both decide to take up a new hobby together?
And it's not him in the pic, it's me. It must be the silly season, all this talk of dogs which will or won't take fox, regardless of size or breeding, is bringing out the hooligan in people! lol
where did i say in any post that she wont be tested? lol i cant see it, like i have said, its my first lurcher, i havent f****d her up yet, so taking it slowly...if thats [bANNED TEXT] with you ? lol and as far as testing goes, i wont be going out night after night just to see if she gets sick of it, or whether shes some super dog everyone chases on here....if she takes to it, she takes to it, i think she will, but still it doesnt bother me if it doesnt, not the end of the world.you say posing around with a 30 inch dog? i couldnt care if she wwas 22...25. or 32, shes my dog, what i do with her is up to me, if shes couple of months behind other crosses so be it. id rather have a quick dog, that can turn shit hot, for the trickier game, than have a dog that likes " SMASHING" foxes , wow! if i wanted to do fox work, id get a terrier...or a rifle. afterall foxes are proper pests, they are a nuisance, but you cant eat the fuckers can u? theres far more fun and TESTING to be done with a lurcher than foxing, and its edible too.maybe not a personal dig, but u say deer x brigade blinkered, ? if you ask me, they seem the least to brag, and tend to be open minded.
Whether your intrested or not shouldn't stop you testing a great big dog like that 1 your pictured with.Ill be honest I don't overly like killing something that you chuck in a ditch ( I even looked up how to use fox fur! Lol ) but every 1 see my bitch will be expected to race it and deal with it. ( after being shot at )I think a lot of the people on this thread have car stickers on there back windows "I love deerhound xs" (good or bad)!I look at a Lurcher as a Lurcher regardless of breed and judge it on performance nothing else.I own a bitch that I lamp and ferret a rabbit hare dog she's a small sharp bitch she's took that spot in my team.My other bitch must deal with anything the lamp hits I prefer a dog 25 + ideally to have the power to Finnish the job fast a deerhound 1st should have fitted into that category but they didn't so now there's something else in there kennel that will be looked after right and given there chance she's 13 months now and I'm hopefull for the stubble.Robwelsh were all different but I wouldn't pose proudly with a great big dog until it had done some proper graft, looks don't kill, it's what you can't see that's beating inside thier chest that make me proud of a dog, a 30 inch dog should destroy a fox simple as that.Not a personal dig rob, just deerhound x brigade seem blinkered and ask less of there charges than some others, they always looking cracking in a photo!
i never said she isnt working yet. just held back on some stuff. cos i dont want to ruin her. i also said that her character wouldnt supprise me if she took well to fox work, but im not really intrestedJukel you've had half a dozen or trev owns half a dozen? Robwelsh I wouldn't expect any pther type of answer off you lad. I don't know how old you are but I do know you are as green as spring grass boyo. You ded earlier in the thread your dog ain't even working properly yet haha but you know she will. You are either brand new or have never learnt nowt haha
yes mate, keep judging mate. by the sounds of everyone who hates deer xs, have all had about 50 dogs between u all, and not one has turned out good lol whether iv had dogs 2 years or 20 got feck all to do with you. you started ranting at me, saying im posing with a feckin lurcher, give me break mate.

BORDERSCOT U just hit the nail on the head mate well said
>Good post borderscot. I think to many are looking for a dog thats better than the lads dogs they go running with. When its not they get rid. I have too good honest workers here and one that is average at best. They only have to please me and i am honest about there fualts. Atb
I've had 11 running dogs in the past 35 years and more often than not have had two at a time at varying ages...once they are here, (barring fatalities which I have had) they are here for good - never had something I couldn't work with...some were f*****g fantastic dogs, some were good honest curs and one or two made serviceable lurchers - all have put food on the table and all have provided me with hours of dodgy and honest adventure, mischief, fun, highs and lows, heartache and lifelong memories...
And apart from a wee yapping beddy x whipp x collie x grey bitch I had when I was young I have never had to rehome anything - ever... 
I've learned to live with their faults and foibles and have embraced their strengths and weaknesses as they have with me...I've tried to instill the same ethos into my lad...hopefully he'll make a serviceable dogman one day...
Too easy an option to 'get shot' at the first hurdle...get another, then another...and so on...I know some who'll go through 3-4 in a season declaring that they are all shit - personally, I'm not buying that...not saying there are no useless/shit dogs out there but if you consistently have shit dogs in your yard and go through 4,5,6,7,8 every season...the fault is clearly with the human...
Just my opinion as I see it...
Up to now it's been fun...long may it all continue...
atb Colin.good post that borderscot.
They only have to please me guys - and like Fitchet I'm honest about their faults,,,
plenty on here lie about their dogs abilities. these days , if a dog aint doing fox everynight of the week, it aint proven lurcher or bla bla bla lol...reardless whether it can catch other stuff...and for this reason only, alot of dogs are for sale or shot round this way. i know couple of lads about 20, had dogs since about 14, so that 6 years...went for mooch with them once, thats all it was , was whos dog smashed this, done this and done that, but none had the said dog? and all bragged about how many dogs theyve had, needless to say i aint been out with them since. lol

iv got a whippet hot meat

In that pic he does look like he could have a tad of bull in it, more than bedington anyway. But I know feck all, as I was told by someone on here a few months ago
Don't worry mate, nobody knows f**k all when it comes to guessing whats in a dog. It can't be done! I've heard idiots say 25% this 12.5% the other, it's all bollocks! That many f*****g experts guessing is the reason most folks ain't got anything like what they think they've got!
...but he said it did lol -
do you use when both parents of a dog had been worked and worth while, but the pup you yourself have brought on has turned out shit?
seems to me far too many people blame dogs for not doing stuff. ye, you will get the odd one that wont do certain things, but im on about the lads that go through dogs like trainers? -
Its well known that both platt and cookland don't work there dogs. Id steer well clear of deerhounds and there crosses. They okay for a. Weekend hunter put them in the hands ofvguys who want to push an test there dogs an most fail. Id go with a lurcher with a dash of deerhound blood if it was wanted. Only good thing about deerhounds an there crosses is there nice nature.. bet this goes down well haha but its my opinion based on experience
Experience of what,reading other people's post's on a certain forum
It's the school holidays again and the place is filling up with obnoxious young boys, happens every time. Ignore him and he'll go away or Hot Meat's mum will find out that he's spending time on the internet trying to annoy the grown-ups when he should be doing his homework

well that means every bull x is in the same boat. how many people who breed bull xs actually work the bull that is put in there? iv seen some daft soft staffs etc(most pits are staffs or staff xs that people claim to be pitbull, to make their dick 2" longer) , and i bet alot of people use dogs like this. same goes for the greyhound in lurchers, who actually has coursing bred greyhounds in they lurchers? ?
same goes for hancock, plenty of people use his lurchers to good outcome?
all this talk about dogs being shit because they parents wasnt worked is crap, and a damn good excuse.

Lol cheers mate, I wish it was banter, trotter really is a prick
I gotta be honest, the banter you two have between you has me in stitches!
babe magnet baw
I did wonder if you were female when you mentioned the horses. If your needing shown the ropes give me a shout
Sounds to me he is on the right track to ruining it. I've never read such a catalogue of basic errors. Running rabbits near tracks, electric fences, shining torch over fences into fields!!!!!sounds like to me you are on the right path with what your doing to bring your pup on, not forgeting he is only young and next season he will be perfect age, stick at it and take your time im sure you and your pup will both be walking home with a few rabbits in the bag soon enough
Forget the seasons nearly ended mate, that don't count for pups. Your on a farm for fucksake, you have the best opportunity. Wait till the young rabbits are 3/4 grown in a month or 2, get the dog a slip lead and get yourself a lamp. Pick rabbits that you'd practically catch, middle of the field type, they will sit out there if you don't harass them. Walk the dog right upto them or as close as possible. Don't slip the dog unless you know for a fact he has seen it. Make a slight hissing sound as you approach it so the dog knows to look for something. Don't over run it, if it catches one, plenty of praise, call it a night. Build it up to a few gradually always ending on a catch. No more than 3 blanks, if nothing after 3 attempts call it a night. Do the same maybe twice a week through the summer, he'll turn out fine.
I am not a 'he', I'm female. Lol And the rabbit wasn't near the fence when I slipped him on it
Thank you though that is sound advice and I will follow it Thanks everyone for your input. I won't over do it, I'll go steady. He is primarily my pet, but he has such a great trainable attitude that I thought it would be nice for him to do a job and I don't want to let him down, just try my best for him.
Thanks again
I'm a good horseman too one sniff and he is on it early doors yet.......give it time..... Prick , and is better than half the usual posts on here lol-

he's gonna think your son is a right tosser, "THE girl dog" thread, "big powerful bitch" thread ..lol
Sorry mate, pics are in the 'big powerful bitch' thread! lol. Yes, those are belting pups
origionally way back,doxhope but a lot of local stuff thats proved to be worthy of breeding to.he had a stunner of a bitch a few years back and she wasnt up to scratch,he put her to sleep even though he was offered a nice sum of money for her.He knew the buyer only wanted to breed litters from her so wouldnt sell.he keeps a good line of dogs but rarely breeds from them until he needs one himself.
That's a nice size of dog, what line/lines is he from if you don't mind me asking?
hes 30 inches and solid with a temper if called for,I cant wait for next season either to see him run,I'll have a lot of good days on the coast with that bunch.lolJigsaw that bitch looks great, and the pure dog doesn't look overly tall if that bitch is 27". Those grey pups look little belters, good luck with them
Our bitch's dam is a doxhope 1st x 26.5tts, her sire is a 1st x collie/grey 25"tts, but she's ended up fractionally under 29"tts and thrown really greyhoundy. My son has put a couple of pics up on the thread 'THE girl dog', he was bored lol. She's 16 months standing in 1st pic, she'll be 3 in about 2-3 months, and the 2nd pic was taken last saturday with my pup, he's 1/4 deerhound 3/4 greyhound. That brindle dog pup next to the black pup in the pic you put up by the doorway has a 'proper' look about him lol -

if i were you i wouldnt of bothered coming on this site. full of tossers whos dogs are always better, and people who know better than you. iv knocked alot of dog groups on the head. im trying to find out how to disable my account on here. had a f**k full with knob heads saying they do this and that, and then tell me to get out in field with my dog etc, how the f**k do they know i dont? lol idiots like i said. good luck with it mate, im off.
