    Think he means that out of a border litter few make the grade as workers, that's how I read it.

    I was reading a thread about this dog and was What made him than other bull crosses? He died 20 odd year ago so surely there has been some as good if not better in that time. To the people that seen him work if they can tell a bit about him. Thanks guys

    Running dog addiction is my favourite. Extreme lurcher work is good aswell.

    I was wrong, she is just barking at nothing. Watched her this morning after been took a walk round the fields and fed. 10 mins later she was barking out at nothing.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I will try boarding the kennels so they can't see each other as iv a feeling she is barking at them and not for no reason. I was thinking about doing this anyway because if I decide to take the terriers and leave her one day she will prob howl the place down. Failing that il look into these collars. No way will it get pts tho.

    I tried with the hose mate ran out everytime then sat the hose facing the kennel so the she would see it but didnt work either. She would wait till I was back upstairs, in the bed then kick off again the wee shite lol

    I see alot of talk about the hunting act coming to the house of parliament to discuss amendment to allow more figs to flush foxes. Does anyone know if hare coursing or lurchers and foxes are going to be looked at to?

    Can anyone recommend a good shock collar that gets results. This pup is going to have to police at the door soon with constant barking. Iv tried everything and bought wee cheap shock collars but they were crap. I feel this is my last resort. It's not lonely as all the dogs can see each other in the kennels it's just constantly barking at them. I don't want to put it in with a terrier coz when out its always hassling them so if would be worse in a kennel and the terrier might turn. If anyone has any other advice or different method that would be appreciated, thanks

    I was reading " a passion for coursing" and it seems most of the dogs the guys owned had been passed around a lot and then even going back to original owner.
  15. obi2
    Why is it that most of the best dogs there has been have all had about 5 owners. From the coursing side to the bull xs. You always hear about different people owning them and someone else had it for a few month etc. seems the top dogs have all had there fair share of owners. Why is this if anyone can explain? Cheers

    If you have a dog that jacks you either stick by it, find it a pet home or a home doing something it can do. Dogs should never be put to sleep cos they cant do something. People who put a dog to sleep for not making the grade or whatever want a bullet themselves.I think the same mate
  17. obi2
    Well said mate, I agree 100%
  18. obi2
    Yeah I read that bud, I was just wondering what everyones own individual methods were. Atb
  19. obi2
    Cracking looking dog mate!

    I don't know if it's been done before but it would be good to hear different peoples opinions on conditioning there dogs. What there steps are at the end of summer to start there fitness training then how they keep that fitness throughout the season along with feeding. Be good to hear methods from the coursing guys to the foxing guys, the lampers and ferreters.

    I drove down from Scotland for mine, a little cracker, called her storm! Sitting and staying already and seems to pick things up very quickly.

    I wouldv thought 5 month to be to early for entering physically and mentally. Obviously you know your own dogs tho and see them everyday. Out of intrest what's your next step with them? How long do you keep them on rabbits for? Atb

    We used to run this cross a few years ago and swore by them. They made decent all rounders and killed hares for fun. The ones that were entered to fox took to them no problem but not all were tried. There sole purpose was lamping rabbits, hares and deer (per-ban) and they excelled at it.
