  1. If I wanted a stud I would choose the redwall dog over sleights..
  2. Another sack of bullshit from plummer. Crossing a Bull to a greyhound will only ruin a good greyhound unless its the right strain of bullterrier.That is hard enough without adding breeds that are shadows from history that can only add a different look but definatley no substance.
  3. Just been looking these HID lamps up and there is enforcer 170 50w or striker 170 both HID but enforcer is dearer than striker but cant see why,unless the striker has a smaller bulb.
  4. you might aswell not have a lamp with u if u put a filter on one lolI been out with one, there good for medium fields and that but they get lost in bigger fields. Field I lamped were 40 odd acre and it sucked it. Where as my HID picked up two deer in hedge other side of said field. yes mate thats i meant,Ive been out with the old cluson and really youd be aswell with a candle. I,ll have a look at these HID thanks
  5. I thought these cordless only reach 500m? can you fit a filter,and do they shine as far as a blazerlite with 100w bulb? I need to have a good distance on a lamp.
  6. news paper,straw,cheap and warm. Tramps and farmers recommended.
  7. Spot on mate,you have to breed in and cull hard if you want to breed a strain.As long as you breed healthy vigorous stuff to each other its the quickest and surest way to get results,if what you start with has good stuff behind it.You are not just breeding the two dogs but the genes contained in them.
  8. Well thats how you feel thats fine but if the rest of the world felt like that there wouldnt be any stock to buy.Its probably better you dont breed really if youre a bit softed hearted mate.Not being funny or knocking you but to breed good stock you have to be able to harden your heart. If people in history hadnt been like that you simply wouldnt have the breeds that go into making the lurchers you have in your kennel now..
  9. You have as much chance of a good little rabbiting dog as any other small rough coated lurcher of unknown pedigree,but just dont buy into the bullshit...believe me it is bullshit.
  10. You say breed for yourself but what you mean is you want strangers to take good care of the pups in the litter that you DONT want and never sell or swap them.
  11. If they were a strain they would breed true,but instead they come all diffrent shapes and sizes...so the way round that is to give the diffrent types labels,hence Tumbler..Norfolk..simple really. Picardy,husky,mongrels wandering the street,they are all in there..
  12. dont fill it so its stomach bulges. 3meals a day.
  13. They can be traced back 400 years Thats how old you feel when you finally get off the phone.
  14. Not all use them but a lot do I think. Mortons walkers in Ireland make about the best walkers but they dont do a single. It may take you a while to get your dog used to one but they will do a dog good,but has said drag lure would be better for sprinters. You can never leave a dog un supervised on a treadmill/walker,bad things can happen,and make sure dog has emptied before going on. 10 mins to start is plenty.Dont forget they are continuous.
  15. Why cant you receive messages?
  16. Too many people breed from mediocre bitches. Regards colliex and fox I started out with colliexs and never had a good one on fox. I had a lad come out one night whos hancock dog eventually had a grab at the arse end of a fox my dog was destroying at the time. The lad got very excited and went round telling everyone his dog did fox. It would not look at one on its own,but was offered at stud because it was a good fox dog.
  17. Both would be better as whippet/greyhound crosses instead of just whippet,just for pace alone. A good Beddyx will take some beating and a good Bullx is the one to do it.
  18. See they got the dogs colouring.Not too many for her to rear anyway.
  19. a lot of pups are ruined by people who try too hard. dont mess with dogs head teaching it tricks and what people call formal training. The main thing for any young running dog is having the freedom to move and learn to run. All you have to do is take it out for walks. Watch you dont over tax it or get it cold and wet while its so young though. Ive had whippets and been out with them and they are great dogs,even the little shivery ones with bulging eyes are still game for it if exposed to it. good luck anyway mate.
  20. Hes a very nice old boy whos probably forgot more than most know on here (no offence)and in retirement hes earning a few quid selling show dogs.Whats wrong with that. Last time I spoke to him he was laughing about the long legged things in the show ring being too tall for work but the misses looked like she had an agenda of her own...crufts glory..at any price. Good luck Eddy.
  21. probably worst season for the ground and you need a dog with engine to plough through the pudding,but the winds have been good this year.
  22. is this Steve Ellis that used to live near wakefield?
