    Loved the small type lurcher x lurcher brilliant for a bit of lamp ferreting bushing working brambles etc 21 to about 23 to the shoulder max was the choice of dog when I was young round were I lived .you just don't see them anymore God knows what went into them but collie whippet dominated the mix . Saw a good George kelly bitch back in the day but it blew up big style ended up suffering with epilepsy even took her on for about 12 months as the previous owner said would I look after her when he went on holiday some bleeding holiday that turned out to be . He was the 2nd owner and the previou

    On the subject of the railway spent over 20 years on it as for best consistent money loco wagon or driver money is the best with the latter the best the deal. as for civil or renewal work etc I know plenty lads on decent money but I know far more on garbage agency work as and when required on barely min wage and roasted on the likes of umbrella pay . Which is the biggest con I have ever ever come across .

    You do get genet in France were they were introduced. Similar to a cat and slightly related but are related to the mongoose as well . Never seen one but did see and had plenty visits from beech or rock martens . Leave any building unattended and the gits get in .

    I assume there would have been some inter marriages down the centuries hence the appearance of some having darker skin . But also it could be argued that some people have a much darker skin complexion to others examples people with very black hair tend to have a darker skin . in reality it could be any number of reasons to be honest .

    The comment on there dark skin is due to there ancestors who orginated from northern India .

    No doubt he will be laughing from his grave at a topic about himself that's still controversial. I heard firsthand accounts from certain individuals of the down right nasty tricks he pulled so my pennies worth he was best avoided like the plague. His contribution to getting people especially younger folk is not with in doubt but the methods he employed and used and the people he used to elevate himself to positions of privilege if it be writing books or articles are unforgivable in my humble opinion .

    Run long ears and red in France as my inlaws had a small holding out there with a few acres . As property was very cheap especially in the rural part of France . I know its illegal to run any sight hound over there on quarry but it was never a problem or did I ever encounter any . Plenty of stuff out there but rabbits are very scarce especially were the inlaws had there property . To be honest I loved the place and spent long periods over there but the lack of bunnies out there was a real eye opener for me . In fact though it's a beautiful place to be I decided not to settle there after I had

    it's possible to damage the heart by over exertion just as it is in humans greyhounds especially can suffer from AF IE Irregular heartbeat so running an unfit dog or over worked lurcher . I have adopted two grews wich developed AF and like in humans it can go undected for years so this is more than likely the case in mature dogs and bitches . As for young dogs and bitches don't forget the heart is a muscle and like all muscles expands and contracts when under load and like any form of exercise if not properly warmed up etc can lead to some serious injuries and damage . Just my take on it one

    Will always have a dog, love to walk out and reminisce about the past go to old haunts think of mischief I got upto in the past with sadly fellow miscreants who sadly are no longer on this mortal coil. people who gave me a chance when I was a young lad showed me the ropes taught how to train a pup and more importantly patience while waiting for it to mature . But as with other things you end up taking a back seat as things like family work keeping a roof over your head take up priority. Unfortunately by the time you have reached the goals you set yourself and achieved your goals you find you

    Rumor has it true or not the bulls were Manchester dogs or were brought in from Manchester hard as coffin nail dogs used for what they were breed for and other stuff besides . Liverpool have there own dogs but there has always been a stronger link to Manchester than Liverpool especially in them days .especially as everybody then was far more territorial than today . A pie eater could go to Manchester no problems for a beer etc not so Liverpool.

    And just think with today's trends you could stick a pair of antlers on it some Jim jams and mooch wherever you like . Just whip um off when coasts clear and bingo your pretend furbaby is a mooching machine in disguise. Jokes asides I despair at not only what the prices are but what has or maybe become of a top mooching dog . Harder than a coffin nail and always give 100% . Seems that more than a few are turning into furniture handbag accessories.

    i do honestly believe the market is unsustainable due to factors like the end of the furlough scheme and a return to some kind of normality. The jobless total is certainly going to get worse than better so these ludicrous stupid prices will fall away .and we certainly know that owning a dog dogs in lockdown is a totally different kettle of fish than committing too a dog /dogs fulltime. i would if a betting man expect a slowing down by sept/oct and the dogs homes starting to get an influx of these snood pyjama wearing furbabys later . As for price i dont think 700/800 is too much for a ped non

    Judging by the prices they are fetching the vast majority are well out the price range of most mortals . now I have semi retired was looking at getting a pair of working peds or working non peds and getting back into the d ferreting lamping . But due to the covid tax which seems to have been lumped onto everything will put it off a while . Sad thing thing is when everything starts to regain some resemblance of normality the pounds homes etc are going to be full of dogs .
