    Wow so it's not a wind up. They look surprisingly light framed. What's their temperament like so far?
  3. jukel123
    Yes the Devon ones. Try 'Preloved'.

    There's a litter in these classifieds.

    Mick Cawston topped himself. A real shame, he was a brilliant artist.

    Not after a bitch of mine caught her collar on barbed wire after she jumped a fence running at full speed. She ripped open a horrible wound. I was miles from anywhere and in the middle of the night. Got her to the vet and she had to have more stitiches than a tattie sack. I vowed I would never let that happen again.I blame myself because i was told it was not a good idea to run with a collar on but ignored the advice I got a bollocking from the vet for getting him up and a bolocking from the Mrs for costing a weeks wages for the vets fees. But the worst gullt trip was seeing the bitch i

    If you intend to shoot over your cocker then you can't expect it to be steady to game if you run it with a lurcher. A cocker should stay within gun range and not chase game. You expect the opposite of a lurcher. As soon as your cocker sees your lurcher tearing after a rabbit, he will want to do the same. Too much temptation for the cocker-in my opinion it's a sure fire way of ruining a potentially good working dog.

    Pre- ban, which was the hardest course for a lurcher, a fox or a hare? Pre- ban my 3/4 grey/collie caught plenty of hunted up hares-not many given 100 yds law I admit. I've never been into coursing foxes in daylight or at night.But the foxes I've seen lamped on video all seem to have two dogs onto the fox. Even with two dogs, the fox seems to be very difficult to nail. So, which is the best at evading capture, fox or hare?

    Dog farts, dangleberries, vomit,hair, dirt and general dog odourbelong in a kennel not in the house. i have mine in on very cold nights and for a treat, but most of the time they are in insulated kennels.-rugged up in winter. I think dogs kept outside are more obedient, there's no distractions for them. I think they are more focused on work. Jmho.

    Sounds good, have you got a link?

    Is that the one with Richard Jones in it..... Bill Clinton makes an appearance playing a super stud.

    I for one would be interested in his explanation.

    I asked a similar question a while back. What's the theory behind the 1/8th beardie? A lot of people will vouch for the 3/4 grey 1/4 border. How does the addition of beardie blood improve this cross?

    Would your bedlingtons have been more of a challenge if you had not had lurchers first? I think most lads make mistakes with their first lurcher or gundog for that matter, but they learn from that and when they progress onto their next dog they don't repeat their mistakes. Just out of interest, what strain are your bedlingtons? Would they be able to find an injured fox?

    Size nine boot is useless except for whippets. Anything bigger -size twelve boots and a thick stick. I'm only joking!

    If I was a day old pup i'd rather take my chances than be drowned in a bucket. I accept a lot of lurchers get poorly trained and, as a consequence are passed around. A lot of people seem to get upset at the thought of that, but that's more to do with their beliefs about bonding with dogs and the slogan ' a dog is for life not just for Christmas' etc. I think the average dog just wants grub, exercise and a dry place to sleep. If that means a rehoming kennel, it doesn't make much difference to the average lurcher. Saturated collie and saluki types might get stressed out, but stressed out is bett

    You're right, he should have told his bitch precisely the number of pups to produce, and the sire of the pups to go easy on the semen.

    well it's judge Judy time and like the rest of the thl coven of witches I'll give you the benefit of my valuable opinion. The lad has held his hand up and says he's struggling. We all make mistakes. If his wife is anything like mine he's stressed out bigtime. A litter of pups are great fun until you can't shift them. If he'd shifted the lot some of the thl witches would be calling him a peddler and worse. There'd be a lot of jealousy at his good luck. As it is he didn't cull them. I'm not bothered in the slightest by any amount of blood and guts, but I couldn't cull a pup. I just couldn't do
  20. jukel123
    It' easy to be wise after the event, hindsight and all that. It's a bad time of year to shift pups as well. Spring and summer are better times. Hope your luck changes and you get good working homes for them.

    Get him used to the idea of returning to you on command. Start him in an enclosed space, a garden or small field-even your living room.Once he's got the idea that returning will result in a treat and praise, you are half way there. However there will come a point when he decides to ignore you. At that precise moment run towards him and bollock him. chances are he'll be really surprised and will fawn all over you. It's easier to use a whistle because the whistle tone is immediate and is always the same tone. Get into his head whistle means return and praise/reward. Ignoring the whistle means a

    Recall is one of the most important attributes in a lurcher. I train mine to a whistle. Plenty of praise when they return, plenty of bollockings when they ignore you. I do this from 12 weeks old. By the time they are ready to run it's ingrained in them and they actually get a bang out of returning because they know I'm going to praise them. In your case it's going to be more difficult because of the dog's age. You were probably sold the dog because it hunted up, but weren't told this by the seller. You say the dog is responsive during the day so you should have a reasonable chance of getting

    I think a lot of people would have just run it over, but fair play to those lads. Very sporting. Scots tend to be like that.

    It's got to be gsd/greyhound. Have you lost touch with the breeder? It would be interesting to see what your dogs littermates turned out like.
