Can anyone tell me what the O warning points which is situated above my location means. Cheers.

Hairyface, thanks for the information on the "Tex" dog, this is very similar to what Brockdog has given me. Both he and another source both agree that the 1990 Waterloo cup winner " Sam the man" could have been " Minnie,s sire. I have to agree with you that the " Tex" dog should not be classed as a Minshaw, but it has come in handy for me in the way it has enabled me to trace my pups blood lines. My wife just remarked that I can probably trace my pups breeding further back than I can my own, I would bet that I am not alone on that point. The dog known as "punch" that name rings a bell can you

cheers Brockdog, any information is good news shall PM you later when I have figured out how to do it .cheers again sherlock.

Brockdog, the tex I am on about was born up your way and went to alass on a farm, it then went to a lad in Wales and ended up in Leigh lancashire. I have been told by a member on here that it is well bred but am unsure of its breeding, cheers .

Poacherspocket22, A great topic about top working lurchers doing what they were bred for. Some good photos and some great tales. Some excellent input from other members and your lads, without a doubt the best and probably the longest thread on this forum. Can anyone give me any information as to how " Tex minshaw" is bred and how it ties into the minshaw line, I have a bitch pup out of this dog put over a whippet bitch bred out of a daughter of glen "strike whilst the irons hot". Cheers .

Conner95, the easiest and most humane method, wet the said rabbit ,this is easily done roll it in the wet grass or urinate on it then take its head in your left hand and with your right hand take a firm grip in the middle of its back. Next position the rabbits neck on an electric cow fence and press down hard , after ten seconds the rabbit will be quite dead .The positive effects of this method is that it doe's not bruise the meat, on a negative side insufficient cow fences , I think some of the replies you have received have been quite shocking all though very interesting . PS this method wor

Is it a nine hole golf course or an eighteen hole course? How many par fives and what's the total yardage of the course?

. Did it look like this.

Orange.

I don't know about you 123456 but I am training a lurcher ,not a guide dog for the blind. Each to their own I suppose.

Tsayad, You continue to miss understand my theory. It is not dependant on differences of wolf behaviour in agrarian or non agrarian environments as you suggest. My theory is about wolf behaviour when they first came into contact with humans. These wolves would not have recognised humans as either prey or a threat presumably making them more amenable for domestication.

Will it be fertile at less than eight months old.

My apologies a preloved advert.
-
Something to vent your anger at, the dog world has gone mad. .
-
Tsayad. You are focusing on semantics and not the point of my post. Please see the map below if this does not show persecution I do not know what does. .
-
Tsayad, please reread my post as you have not understood the point I am making .

Has anyone stopped to think that we modern man have been lead up the garden path so to speak, we are educated from an early age that the wolf is a nasty vicious ferocious beast of an animal, and we also believe that it has always been so. What if when early man first encountered the wolf it was more willing to associate with us because it had not experienced human persecution. As we know the wolf was the first animal to be domesticated,suggesting that it was not that difficult. Presumably for hunting and guarding how ever when man domesticated the goat sheep cow and pig the wild wolf became a

Picture of The Dog (hope this uploads)
Sherlock replied to albert64's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Nice looking dog in tip top condition. Is it one of Hancocks, he would not have had a problem tattooing that beaut. -
Maybe if you had been a responsible lurcher breeder and applied some common sense and vetted the buyers of your precious pups . This would not have happened. To me it seems like there are three cocks to watch out for , you , the owner of the stud dog and the cock who has just bred the pups. If you live in glass houses don't throw stones.

Greyhounds bring in everything you do not want in a lurcher, ie thin skin poor coat bad feet no stamina poor nose and no brain. All the greyhound is good for is speed and size.

Taking an animal from the wild and taming it does not count as domestication, there are six criteria that must be adhered to before any animal is classed as domesticated, they are as below pasted from wiki. Flexible diet — Creatures that are willing to consume a wide variety of food sources and can live off less cumulative food from the food pyramid (such as corn or wheat), particularly food that is not utilized by humans (such as grass and forage) are less expensive to keep in captivity. Carnivores by definition feed primarily or only on animal tissue, which requires the expenditure of many a

A very thought provoking and emotive topic , the saying " don't wash your dirty linen in public ", springs to mind.

I have been in to hunting for over forty years , and certain lads have always chopped and changed their dogs on what seems an annual basis. Some people are never happy with their dogs and always want bigger better faster,not unlike car drivers. Of all the people who got married in 1995 one third divorced by the year 2010, if people can not hold onto their spouse what chance as a dog got .
