    Good result. The current hunting ban situation in England is ludicrous - a friend of mine has had...wait for it!....FOUR farmers where he has permission and next to his permission, begging him to go down with terriers as they have ALL lost lambs.If he did that would, of course, be breaking the daft law as there arent any pheasants on the land, so he can't.

    I agree Salukiman but its not just the anti's, I couldnt give a shite about them to be honest, its the Wildlife Crime Intelligence people who, rightly, are now looking at the Lurcher and associated crime and they see the bull crosses as a big part of that. Unfortunately though we potentially all get tarred with the same brush even though 90% of Lurcher people are decent law abiding, countryside loving people.

    sorry i disagree lurchermen have always been on the radar i dont think you can blame just the bull x for all the heat we now get i think you can blame the media for that there just as interested in hare coursers with there salukis x and you cant say its just bullx owners who are stealing from farms etc or leaving deer carcasses at the side of the road yes i do agree the cross does have a clown following but doesnt all crosses and any dog thats that badly scarred up then they should be left at home like any dog should be be it bullx or terrier Unfortunately you are wrong. I know for a fa

    Sadly I agree and that is my point..

    For work and from my experience, Saluki crosses. My uncle got talked into buying one years ago when we were out working our collie crosses on a very regular basis. The dog would catch ok, albeit being a bit cumbersome over rough ground and short distances, would then proceed to bite the rabbit in half and then do about 20 laps of honour with the minced rabbit, scaring everything else off in the distance, especially if we were lamping. It came back "when its ready" and was, to be fair, thick as a stump. It was a lovely animal but we just could'nt get it to work half as good as the collie crosse

    Glad for you mate........

    Hope you get her back. I hope shes just wandered off and comes back. All the best with your search, it makes me feel sick to think people will steal someones elses dog.

    This debate will run and run but the suggestion that it is only inexperienced hunters that will buy a Hancock is total nonsense. On the contrary, a thinking man or woman who is looking for a pup of this type of breeding wouldnt find it difficult to choose a Hancock in the absence of anything else being available and in particular might chose a 5/8ths 3/8ths which was once considered the thinking mans working lurcher cross. Not everyone wants to 'just slip it' so are looking for the inherited intelligence and trainability of working Beardie or Border blood, whilst the hearding instincts cle

    I had a Lanber sport OU multichoke some years back, I know very little about guns but it was used a lot for rabbit and rough shooting and was fine. It was a nice looking well made bit of kit and the multichoke made it versatile too. Hope that helps.

    Does he still do this?

    belters. good luck finding good homes.
  15. omegathelast
    Good choice, all the best with the pup

    Lets be honest a lot of lurcher men are so bad at training their dogs they dont even come back when they are out for a walk never mind running a rabbit "just slip it" seen them come and go.........

    Most wont but I had a beardie cross bitch that was very intelligent and completely biddable and could be called off. She was no jacker. RIP Tess.

    I understand what some are saying but just ignore them. Good luck with them and carry on enoying your ratting

    What a cracking little team. All the best with them

    I agree there are some very decent folk in the game and I didnt mean to suggest otherwise, some of the best people I have ever met over the years have been lurcher and terrier people. My point is they are driven to the periphery, particularly in terrier work, when in fact they should be at the fore. It was something in your original post that motivated me to post when you described the fact that those peaceful moments in the countryside with your terrier were now impossible. I identified with that sad reality. We will all always love working terriers but equally may need to thank the irrespons

    I have just stumbled across this searching for something else. It is very sad that in many cases visible terrier work is essentially now the preserve of the idiots and petty criminals and that people like Cleanspade feel the way they do about the sport. It is true there are some people still working terriers properly but the ones I know are off the radar working on shoots and controlling vermin properly away from the masses. They are a minority. We gave up terrier work years ago despite loving the sport and being obsessed with our little heroes. That love of both never leaves you. However,

    We used to ferret rats all the time years ago.....great sport, just always made sure any bites were cleaned up proper.
