  1. It always amazed me the wild varying reports from owners of Hancock bred dogs from utter rubbish with no prey drive to can kill everything you it in front of, I thought the point of his kennels was to turn out pretty steady reliable pups, maybe it was the owners 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Just mated the bitch to this greyhound . Had to go down the AI route as we couldn't get the tye . Bloods were bang on so now just fingers crossed . Back in just over 4 weeks for a scan to see if she's caught . Got plenty of juice in her . Dog mated a collie last year but think the heat had a lot to do with it but fair play to the fella with the stud he done all he could to help us out. Dog was keen as f**k . Did get it in but never tied so she could have had a bit anyway over last couple of days . Seen a few videos of him winning a few races by a decent margin aswell . About 28 so should make some decent size dogs . Bitch about 24 . Reckon blacky be popping a few cans of beans if all goes to plan

    🤔Me and the Wife, don't get to any shows these days,...but we used to get about a fair bit,.. and these days out, were frequently used for arranging trips out with pals, and for discussing tactics,.. etc...😉 I've also been privileged to Judge most of the large Lurcher Shows,..

    In the early days ,.dogs would often turn up in a right old state,..(and this was not always due to hard work in the field)  it was often down to neglect and ignorance.  I always made it abundantly clear that whilst scars and marks on a dog were 100% invisible to me,...everything else was not...

    Folk sometimes become confused  and fondly imagine that a Lurcher show is to do with working ability,. but this is a misnomer...it is a beauty contest, plain and simple,.so when Miss World enters the ring for my appraisal,.. she sure as hell better have a crisp clean coat, free of fleas,.. and preferably,. not limping😂

    One can take a Lurcher show as serious, as one wants to,....👍🏾

    I don’t think it’s a load of crap Drove, I met up with friends from around the country who have genuine working dogs and we had a great day. We were out in the countryside with like minded people, the judging was just incidental, we didn’t care about it. 
    It slightly annoys me that people denigrate lurcher shows. Just because we go to the odd show doesn’t mean we are “lesser” dog men, we are just meeting up with like minded people…at least we are not summer hunting and bragging about it on social media, and of course I’m not referring to you, as I know you are a genuine lad……. But live and let live, ehh ?

    Cheers.

    I’ve always seen shows as a social avent, a day oot and most importantly a bit of fun, ave never quite got the Billy big balls, you canny eat rosettes brigade.

    How’s everyone doing? Back 15-20 years ago I had multiple accounts on here. Was very friendly with a few names. Met life long friends and had some cracking sport with the dogs. 
     

    I haven’t been on here for a while, I presumed with fabeook etc this site kind of fizzled out. 
     

    I’m just a law abiding rabbiting man nowadays. Bad time to choose so, with rabbit numbers being on their arse nationwide pretty much. 
     

    But the past 2 years I’m starting to notice them again in places they’ve been nonexistent in for 10+ years. I’m my opinion, they are starting to make a return. At least they are around my neck of the woods. 
     

    What’s everyone else’s thoughts? Is the humble rabbit making a return? 
     

    attached a picture of my 11 month old pup. He’s collie whippet. So far making a prefect rabbit chaser.

    Decent beddy blood as been thin on the ground for years I personally think the only way to get decent beddy blood in Lurchers is from beddy bred Lurcher bitzas only problem is with beddy Lurcher’s is people are hung up on the f1 or 1/4 bred thing 

    The 1/4 bred thing, haven’t seen a 1/4 bred beddy greyhound since spud lined a greyhound in the ninetes
