    Good chance to see a future world heavyweight champion in the flesh. Joshua is the best british heavyweight since Lewis in my opinion. I think he would destroy Chishora ,Price and Fury right now . Another year or so and he would be a great match up for Haye. Looking forward to his forthcoming career.

    I cannot see any moral dilemma. You could logically argue that running hounds across rough country, jumping barbed wire, and uneven dry stone walls, or sending a terrier to earth to face a set of raking teeth, or running a lurcher on a lamp to possibly collide with all sorts of potentially injurious obstacles are all cruel practices. Shooting, fishing, ferreting ,in fact all field sports, include a degree of pain somewhere along the line for some living creature. Livestock farming and the consequential slaughter of stock also involves cruelty/pain at some point in the process. It's part

    A mate of mine put his hand down a hole, hoping to pull out a rabbit and emerged with a mink attached to his blooded hand. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Bolted an otter last season at least a mile from water.

    he isnt doing a lot now matt. just comes out mooching with the terriers now and then.. he makes it hard to leave him in. lol. bosun is right your dog looks like he is a 26 nch deerhound cross in that pic. Ozzy has an inch on him and looks smaller. . be a sad day in this house when he goes he isnt as bulky as he looks and is still pretty lively a few pics from over the years ozzy puppy 1.jpg ozzy2.jpg Old ferreting.jpg ozzy.jpg i would recommend this cross for a hardy pesters dog. Why have you never used your wheaten cross for stud Cleanspade? I seem to remembe

    Fair comment.

    Useful for Christmas mate. Delighted at the outcome.

    I've heard it called 'happy tail' for obvious reasons. You should consider yourself lucky you've got yours kennelled, I had one with this problem and it had always been a house dog. Every time it got excited, as in going for a walk, it would smear blood all over the kitchen, on folks' clothes, even on the kids' faces. It was too old to suddenly kennel. It would have screamed the neighbourhood down, so I had to do a lot of cleaning and a lot of cosying up to the mrs believe me. I've heard olive oil may help to soften the skin and help hair to grow back, but to be honest , in my experience,it'

    I may start the verbal missiles flying but, in my opinion, compared to springers and cockers AT HUNTING AND FLUSHING game, your average GWP comes in a very poor second. I don't doubt they have other attributes and that they primarily point rather than flush, but, from those I've seen in the flesh, and on video, an average springer will outperform your average GWP every time on the shooting field. The temperament of modern springers is such that they are almost intuitive-they know what's expected and are desperate to please. I've found GWP's to have a mind of their own and to possess a 'Feck Y

    Here's my wife holding a couple live MUSKRATS after a hunt! Those muskrats bite a heck of a lot harder than silly little brown rats!!!

    Very interesting. Your mink are a lot tougher than our UK ferrets. Many of our ferrets won't tackle rats, especially if they've been bitten by them in the past. Still can't get my head around the way you train mink. Well done. Some of you American lads are a lot tougher than our Uk lads too. I for one would not dream of picking up a live rat-that goes for a tame one, never mind a wild one. Hate them!

    Oops double post.

    There's a member on here ( ky99le) who has an imported Aussie staghound with a touch of bull. It is trained and used exclusively for pigs. You can see the dog on a thread started by "ratkilla'. The thread is entitled 'Staghound' Could be ideal for your purposes.

    I don't know Darcy, nor have I read any of his books. But he seems a decent, knowledgeable guy to me. What's the problem EDRD were you thick at school, a poor reader and therefore have a deep-seated jealousy/resentment towards all that fancy book learning stuff? You should try reading mate. You can learn a lot. Surely part of the attraction of this site is that you learn from others. Don't be so bigoted EDRD.

    Nearly every post in this thread mentions life threatening/fatal injuries. To me it's cruel to run a greyhound on rough ground, especially ex track dogs with no experience of running except sanded tracks.

    I've got permission and gear I would have killed for when I was younger, but come a windy night I have to force myself out just to remind myself i'm still alive and kicking. Mind you, once I've made the effort to be out the old magic still returns.

    If anybody was lucky enough to own an all rounder you could only expect it to be an all rounder for a limited time. Let's say three or four years at the most. You couldn't expect a dog robust enough to lamp all night two or three times a week to also catch a daytime pre -ban hare when it's six or seven years old. A working dog of any sort doesn't reach its best until at least its second season ( more likely its third or fourth). All rounders, if they do exist ,are only at the full extent of their abilities for a relatively short period of time and only then if lady luck is on your side and y

    Really interesting thread. Another question. What are like in kennel? Noisy or quiet? Do they have any guarding instinct?
  18. jukel123
    How would you describe their temperaments? Are they driven/hyper as you would expect from the Malinois blood?
  19. jukel123
    OK, but its head's very small, horns are a bit girly, not marked up. Does it take teeth or just chew? Has tough skin but what about wind? Methane?

    Thanks roosika,where can I get hold of replacement tubes?
  21. jukel123
    Just ordered a mark 3 from Gamekeeper John and some ammo . How long will the tubes last for? For ever? Or do they were out? Is there any advantage of tubes over bands? Is it difficult to change tubes or bands? Sounds daft, but what's the best way to practise accuracy?

    Good the young lad is sorted now, well done to the guys involved Have you told the fella down the pub about the decency of the Scots lads? Like This Back to top Quote MultiQuote

    Sorry if it's been covered before but a friend of mine called a dog a jacker when in my view it had run its heart out and, in my view retired honourably. Hence the argument. It wasn't my dog by the way for all you amateur psychologists out there .
  24. jukel123
    You could try going to your nearest livestock market and hand out cards stating you will respect crops, bow and scrape etc lol. If they can see you in the flesh and you can point out what's in it for them, you should get something. If you can lend a hand at harvest/busy times that really goes down well. Good luck.

    I can never get my head around this term. Is a dog only not a jacker if it pursues its quarry at all costs and only comes to a standstill when it collapses? To me a dog is a genuine dog if it gives 100% on each run. If, after a course,the quarry is getting further and further away and the dog figures it is not going to catch, stops and then returns to the owner absolutely shattered but is ready to give 100% again after a suitable period of rest, then in my eyes it's not a jacker. If a dog runs its heart out one day and then runs half heartedly another day or picks its runs, that to me is a
