  1. Trevor from Cooklands does work his dogs. I don't know about Platts.
  2. I'd always thought in a mixed breed mating, say collie greyhound, that it didn't matter a damn which way the mating took place, whether the collie was the sire and the greyhound the dam, or vice versa. However I've read a few posts recently where members have stated that you get different types of pups depending on which breed was 'on top' or ' beneath'. Is this true? Is there any evidence to back the theory up? Also with bullcrosses, do greyhounds and whippets dams not have problems giving birth to pups with bully type heads? I know it's a problem with pedigree bull breeds, which often have
  3. Where's Bill Doherty when you need him (Romany). I'd like to read what his opinions are on the number of deer/grey failures.
  4. I think greyhounds differ a lot.I don't think enough thought is given to their use in the production of lurchers. When greyhounds are retired into pet homes they differ tremendously in temperament.Some can be taught within days to leave cats, small dogs and other furries well alone. Others can never be trusted and have to be muzzled and never let off the lead. I would prefer to use a greyhound that is ballsy and which, preferably has shown its courage in the field. Although trying to train an ex track dog to not run kamikaze style is difficult to say the least. As I say, I'm convinced poor
  5. I've never heard of a genuine working type deerhound not coming up to scratch. However I've heard of a good many deer/greys which turned out to be disappointing. Does this not point to the fact that more care should be taken on the choice and quality of greyhound used? I would guess most of the greyhounds used are retired ex track dogs who didn't make it on the track, maybe even non chasers. I would prefer to use a greyhound that was capable of putting in a shift on the coursing field -at all quarry. Nothing wrong with ex track dogs but I think a more careful selection of the greyhound used w
  6. I'm thick. What country is the clip from? What's the 'roadrunner' bird lookalike called? What's 'soughing'?
  7. Came across these two on Youtube.One is a saluki/gsd and the other is a quarter gsd/greyhound. I wonder if all saluki/gsd pups would throw this racy? The slightly darker dog is the quarter cross.
  8. He was a very racy first cross GSD. Ninety per cent of the gsd first crosses seem to carry a heavy stamp to the gsd. Much more than any other first cross. However, I wouldn't be put off a pup that was very gsd looking.I used to have a pure gsd that could do everything a lurcher could do except catch daytime hares.I wish I had had the sense to put her to a greyhound. They say you only get one cracking dog in your lifetime and she was mine.
  9. How many dogs does Platt keep? He seems to breed a fair few litters. Cooklands doesn't breed that many.
  10. To answer the question you'd need owners of a hundred dogs from each breeder and for each owner to tell the truth.Otherwise you'll get individual blokes saying mine's rubbish or mine's a world beater. Platts is without doubt the better salesman. He can talk forever. Cooklands is a quieter bloke who doesn't bullshit. Whether their pups are better than each others, is impossible to say without conducting a scientific trial. Suspect it's all luck whether you get a cracking pup or a duffer whoever you buy from.
  11. It's often hard to drag yourself out, but once out it's rare you wish you'd stayed in. Even if you get nowt.
  12. always liked that dog, how is it coming on .? you done much with it..! hes done all was asked of him bird..hes fast and agile dog for the size of him. the brother has started lamping a few rabbits with him after the loss of his old collie whippet greyhound What's its temperament like? Is it a high maintenance/hyper like a malinois or is it easy to get on with?
  13. Pity you didn't inherit your old man's hair BG. I'm the same 'polish and go'.
  14. Nice dog. You can see a hint of GSD in the tail and hindquarters.
  15. Don't think this one has had the chop BG-it's a new ad.
  16. There's a 12 month old gsd/lurcher on 'Preloved' free to good home. Worth a punt for someone.
  17. Check this bloke out. Funny, but he's dead right.
  18. Absolute cracking looking bitch in first class codition. More shape and definition now as she loses her puppy look. She'll make short work of any game put in front of her when she starts work.
  19. How does it smell? Terrible. Boom boom.
  20. He looks a scary wee bugger. Some stare on him. God help them criitters when he's older.
  21. OK Millet we all know you keep black nosed dogs that you think are unbeatable . Maybe they are on small fields doubled up and on the lamp. But you need a f***ing brown nosed dog for the big fields in daylight single handed.And, what are your f***ing black nosers like for wind. I'll tell you-SHITE! Your dogs are fat b*****ds that don't like teeth.I wouldn't keep a f***ing black nosed dog that turned away from teeth. And I was told one your pot licking mongrels JACKED on the 13th December at 10.30pm. Don't f***ing try and deny it.And by the f***ing way, if you want a fight you know where I am.
  22. Lamps tend to attract a bit of attention too mate, especially if you make mistake and stumble off your permission. Lamps would be the perfect poachers companion if only they didn't attract angry farmers and keepers like bloody moths. This alsation cross might throw a few racy pups, and has been said if they were crossed with a sight hound blooded dog.They should make good uns. Seems to me a lot of guys on here get very superior when somebody breeds a litter of pups even by accident. It's not a sin to breed a litter of pups for christsake. You ensure they go to decent homes end of. A lot
