I gather that hemet should/did have a strapping head guard/fitting at the beginning of its life? Either that, or you have the head size of that bloke in the waiting room, in the film Beetlejuice...

Agreed, don't own one...

Hard to see the all that's needed to make judgment from one 'ariel' photo. Even harder to see how any Saluki blooded pup really looks from that same angle. Total shite photo to he honest, and if you want any constructive feedback, you'd be better with a range of different photos, and the best of them comes from the camera being alongside your dog, not above it. For my two penneth-worth, your pups coat looks good, as does its feet. Maybe a bit more on the ribs at that age but some desert breds never hold it after 6 months anyway. BUT ffs... Take a photo of a happy dog.. That poor

Have a fair few flying round our house & garden most nights... We love watching them. This one decided to pop in for a visit....

Always liked them... ?

The cover of the edition I remember... Looking for this I also remember another Blyton I read, The Enchanted Wood... Wish I still had it... ?? Just googling, there's loads of Enid Blyton tattoos on the characters... ?

Brilliant... I wish I'd done too, but on remembering this, and with my daughter at 13 next month, I fear I've missed the boat. Please give me some feedback on that book when you get it. Both how it reads, and what your lad thinks of it... I'm too old to remember but thrive on a bit of nostagia...?

19 Crimes... Again.. ?

Enid Blyton wrote the books of my childhood.... The Magic Far Away Tree being a favorite... Feck knows what it was about... ??

After I packed in with the terriers I moved from 4x4's to estate cars. Them old Legacy's being my fave..! Though had a couple of hatchbacks and one Ford Orion inbetween. Never liked jamming 4 big lurchers in an Orion boot, even if the speaker casings in the parcel shelf had no speakers in, to aid ventilation... ? TBH, looking back, it was bloody tough on dogs being loaded ran, loaded and ran, all night long... But good dogs (and decent callers) will always pull you through... As for fitness, I keep mine fit all year with daily free running walks, apart from my two week hols and my ma

Just read through 25 pages of crap, there were about 5 pages of decent talk, before the usual took over... Though it all should of been done through the 'better' Minshaw threds... Do Your Homework!! You all know who you are... It's getting locked, if you want to argue, drop me a pm... I won't be replying. Sort your differences out with your different crosses, or have a nice sabbatical... Not arsed... ?

Jason Williamson (of the Sleaford Mods) doppelganger...!! ?

The La's were far far better... John Power is/was a class act in both bands.

I hate the reference to a number of lurchers as a 'pack'....

Breck Road Lover is my fave track by them. As it's where I grew up...

1974..

Anyone old enough to remember that the Guiness Book Of Word Records used to give the rat killing records from the 19th century. Detailing dogs, locations and numbers killed. Billy, Jocko and a bitch called Jenny Lind were all in that book. The earlier editions had loads of information.

Plummer's Nathan is by far his greatest work (though I'll always tipp my hat to Fell Terrier, flawed that it is) You gotta hand it to him, 'ol DBP really did do his homework on such subjects. Maroc the Barbary ape, the Hinkley Boar, Blue Pauls, Red Smutts etc.... Would we really know these names and what went on in the Westminister Pits if Plummer hadn't put pen to paper in the past 40 years. I'm not such a fan of the man, but his early works are... Fantastic. Before ego and self-righteous took hold....

Grew up to believe killing a black rabbit was unlucky.... I've never won the lottery.... ?

Chalky and the boys weightvest.
Bosun11 replied to Maximus Ferret's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I genuinely don't believe weighting ANY part of a body down and then when removed, expect that body to improve performance. It's one thing I believe, the GD trainers got wrong.... You can condition dogs for both speed and strength without weight. -
OK, so those of us of a certain age can retrospect albums as easy as pie.... This album; Know your Rights Should I Stay..... Rock the Casbah Overpowered... Jeez, an album I'd fight for to the death, especially when the best track is Straight To Hell Love this album.... And all the world should know its name....

I'd agree with that... When I watched it my thought was 'why crack him at that point?' Sure he was annoying, which is hard work, but he'd danced around long enough for most on the job to know he's really got nothing but front... Nah, i think JF got a bit too wound-up with this fella and using his 'professional skill set' dropped the cnut either for anger, lost face or bravado.... Whichever way it was, he's done himself no favours...

Apple, please try apple ?

Brother to sister mating is it to close,
Bosun11 replied to whisperingeye's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
That would depend on what you would call bad... Because many would see the odd cull (or freak if you keep it) as part of the greater good. And let's get it straight, that is the exception, in probably many litters. No one is ruling out outcrosses when we're talking about family lines, but in the main, if you have all the qualities you require in a family of dogs then your best option imo, is to keep that blood tight.
