  1. You should listen to Whitefeet. I dont know him but I would agree 100% with his advice.
  2. Why are politics being discussed here on a dog forum?
  3. He has farmed thousands....
  4. If you are talking about a proper Greyhound walking machine(electric) they will be around £750 plus new or a double around 12 to 1400 last time i looked. Just beware its had a hard life in a greyhound kennel and things are wearing. If not that price isnt bad for a walking machine.
  5. I think sometimes you might be suprised to find Bull in dogs that have no bully features at all. I think people consider the bull simply because of deep gameness. There is also less need for baying dogs with all the technology. A dog that is usually quicker to fight than most bulls is the Lakeland,and there aint many Russels free of that blood despite some of the famous breeders denying it till blue in the face.
  6. sounds like my neighbour i just called her in a give her one. best thing i ever done she out walking it morning an night I tried to give my neighbour one,but she told her husband!
  7. have you got him in your breeding mate?
  8. is that true? if so the man wants filling in Which one of you will do that? dog lads and police don't mix simple as that and now if the man is handing out details to the police over a bit of bad banter on a forum well i dont see how you can disagree with the fact he wants filling in, thats if the above statement is true that is. but one thing i have learnt about internet forums is that there just a bit of fun and take everything with a pinch of salt unless you know it to be true yourself Things get confused alright. Just read my post again and then read your response.
  9. Best to ignore the names unless you know them. It depends on whos doing the promoting and what the evidence is. If a dog is on video i suppose you can see for yourself but really unless you have seen the dog or trust a man who has to tell you the truth then please dont listen. The human brain is very susceptible to being sold a dream. Its how sales works. With official competition dogs its a bit diffrent. But as far as your own dogs I think its best to breed your own heroes and dont lie to yourself.
  10. is that true? if so the man wants filling in Which one of you will do that?
  11. Did anyone go to his show last Sunday at Stoneliegh?
  12. He farms dogs for money. Thats it. A mate went back to give him the run down of the way his dog had turned out,because Hanck had asked him to when he bought it. So two years later he made the journey to tell him,but when Hanck realised he hadnt come for another pup he quickly lost interest and left him standing there like a prick. If you have a good dog from him fair play to you. You could enter that dog into your own breeding programme,but hes only doing it for a living not for the love of it.
  13. The good thing about breeding greyhounds i suppose is there at least a lot of data to go by and not just exaggerated stories of performance. Do you think that in reality there are very few good breeders of Greyhounds and who know and have access to the right lines?I suppose also the diffrence in open class and a grader isnt that great and a lot is in the fine detail with a Greyhound,whereas variables in a family of say rabbiting lurchers might even be useful when being kept has a team.
  14. my 3/4 bull bitch looks like a half cross so i will hopefully breed her to a half cross type and pick the 1/2 cross type from the litter. Its type we are after isnt it? Its ability we should be after... only constant work in the field over several seasons will judge if the dog is the right 'type' for you... I think we are on cross threads. Of course the dog has to perform and we breed from performers but we make type choices which have shown to be suited to us.
  15. Sounds a nightmare. Dogs should evolve for purpose not fashion.
  16. I think good ones that have been selected for performance and bred close continue to be bred according to "The pibull garden" book and are a diffrent job altogether,also being bred for performance only they loose the roman nose.

  18. Over the last 30 years Ive had several bull breeds,and found them all to be reasonably intelligent(particularly staffies)never owned an EBT but a few of my mates have,Ive got to say they were the stupidest animals I have come across,not saying they are all thick but the three I spent a lot of time around were,put me off ever having one.... Well you have said what ive been told by others. Its strange really because has you say the staffies and others are anything but idiots.They seem to not only learn quick but work things out for themselves.
  19. When working hard in season...Ferramo..cod liver oil every other day because it can clog the liver and tie up protein. Fed with meat stews all year round and a sprinkle of Aussie formula. Also breakfast in winter...goats milk/bicuit egg.
  20. Ive got a 3/4 Bull 1/4 Greyhound bitch I bought off here. Shes not heavy and should have no problems catching rabbit etc. Shes only young but just never runs out of gas.Should make a good lamping/ferreting and genral mooching dog,and game.
  21. You call this a debate? You edit most of your posts,so even you must feel silly re-reading them.
  22. I thought the English were head strong and far less intelligent than the stafford/pit dogs. Ive read Hinks leaned more toward the show ring and pet than actual work. I know some were good in the trials and the famous Psyco had Ebt in his blood,but Im not sure how useful they would be in the pure form to a Hunting man. When the Ingles thing was going strong and those dogs were seen here and there I tried but failed to get a straight answer regarding working qualities. One thing you cant deny is they certainly got the conformation better.
