  1. there were some in countrymans week a two back 7month old i think £500 jabbed aswell
  2. We cut quite a lot of Hawthorn winter before last. Its great in a woodburner/cooker. We couldnt get this year because of wet,but still got plenty of Ash and tree stakes.
  3. Not true not all vixens will move cubs if somebody or something goes near an earth at all i know of alot of earths i keep an eye on that are cubbed in and they dont grab cubs and run theres an earth 300m from my house in a chestnut wood ive walked past it everyday this week with my lurchers and they have a sniff and mark it everytime i go past and they have not been moved and rare they have been over the years [/ quote] Sorry mate but not believing that either . I couldnt give a f**k what you belive to be honest Either your lurchers are marking nothing or your
  4. It would not be too close if dog and bitch are strong and healthy and dont share any faults that you wouldnt want repeated or stamping in.
  5. But needs to be dug in the first place by something thats not there.OR does he mean they aint there now. I think so.
  6. doesnt need to be dug by a fox to be used by a fox
  7. Thats exactly right. With all the negative OLD b*****ds on here its no suprise the antis think they can win. To have a free vote at this time would be guaranteed suicide.
  8. If I could just hark back to the topic...You can only breed to your own standards unless you are breeding for a market which will make demands on the stock you breed if you want repeat business..If you breed for yourself and friends you will know what you want and the surplus in my opinion are best put down. Has for going out with other folks and there dogs,what goes on on those days/nights should be kept between yourselves.Its a well known fact that if you praise a dog up or bragg about it He will definately let you down in company. Ive seen people out with terriers/hounds/lurchers and the be
  9. Everthing is dead on the land where ive been.Thats because ive got a Bullx
  10. Performance type canines,.be they 'match dogs, battle dogs, racers or critters with a penchant for pursuing and killing a prey, that bites back',..have often been sold on,...generally to like minded enthusiasts, who wish to enjoy and experience the thrills that such beasts provide. Well said. Sometimes a change is good for the dog too. When dogs are not good for what they were bred for they are best pts imo but sometimes a good dog can change hands for the better.
  11. It could be a hereditry condition in some terriers.Weve had it in Russells. I dont think it gets better if its that but you do need to see a vet.
  12. My mates got a plummer bitch thats in pup.He aint the type to breed for money or show.
  13. They think Irony is what you use to make shovels.
  14. It all comes down to dominance of genes Tozer. Selection from crossbred litters is the key to getting the type you are after. Most people have sold the greater part of a litter before it really takes shape. I would suggest you keep back at least 3 of the pups from a litter that you think are in the region of what you want and grow them on a bit.
  15. He would only throw like that if he was prepotent. In other words if the genes relating to work ability were all pure dominant DD. Which would have the effect of covering any weakness in the bitches make up ,but unless the offspring were mated back to the sire it could all come undone again if the next mating was an outcross to a dog that was not DD even though he may be a good worker himself. Prepotent dogs are rare unless they have been inbred. Fantastic theory but Smithy was a complete outcross. He could still have been prepotent. Im not saying he was.I dont want to get into a

  17. good clips mate.Never been out with them but i have with the Westerby.They are also a very good pack.
  18. Yes I see but not all have that good a coat to begin with. By good I mean typical.So my point is whats the worst that can happen by giving him a clip now and again?
  19. i met him and jimmy at a dirty book signing...great lads they were..
  20. dont do any other training with her until she starts to hunt. just take her to the same places where there is smell. She will become familiar and get confidence quicker. Take her out at least once a day and two or three if possible,always on the same route,but it must have rabbits about for her to smell. good luck
