What Lurcher cross is best for being placid
Bosun11 replied to woodys mum's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
The most placid of all.... A old well worked one....! -
Happy birthday plums...

If you really need your dog to be soft mouthed on bunnys, i'd ensure she has had plenty of 'em and really knows her game before trying her on the rats. Ideation is right, most dogs know the score on what bites back and adjust their game accordingly but it can be a bit confusing for a youngster. Most dogs take to rats and the cut and thrust of a good 'ol rat hunt gets any dogs blood up, so you can try at any time, just make sure your dog is well wed to her bunny task first.

Hypothetical question regarding breeding?
Bosun11 replied to Big bald beautiful's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
If the two animals are readily available then go for it. Be honest about the offspring and if your not satisfied then look to find same bred stuff for the next mating. If it was me, i'd be mating the unrelated dog and bitch this year and another litter out of the same lines as the bitch asap. Compare the two litters and if both go, put them back to each other later down the line. -
Great band, seen 'em around 82 at the Royal Court.

Very impressive mate, keep posting. -
Pity you never caught the little shite Socks, good job the Balfour lad was there and fair play to you for the thank you.

Whilst I totaly agree with p3d on both Plummer and the history of the black dogs, i'd also agree with Cleanspade in that it really does deserve a place on any terriermans bookshelf. Go on, get yourself a copy.

why do bull crosses have there own class at shows?????
Bosun11 replied to stewie's topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
Yep, thats spot on, that is the greater cause and thats why folk shouldn't stand there moaning about it, pay a quid an get in the ring! Even though I don't agree with seperate classes, because they are all fecking lurchers, i'd sooner 'donate' a pound and go with the flow. On the subject of seperate classes, any decent judge should be quite able to judge a half cross bull against a beddie whippet or a saluki cross, because he should judge for quality 'of type' against the next one of different type.... Is that dog the best specimen of its 'type'..?? We know that some raging beauties, -
Dan, I think they are wonderful, nice dog mate, an all that stuff..!! Ego massaged enough....?? Honestly though, handsome is as handsome does, so that really does make 'em beuties...

David James was breeding lines of collie blooded dogs without anything in 'em years back, I don't know if he's still going but someone must have taken up the mantle... As for Plummer stuff, from what I read and what i've heard, his original dogs went way back, they wern't simply Collie bred, just Lurcher to Lurcher and then he used his Merle dog amongs others and saturated the line with Collie.

Damn shame that Socks, me an a mate off here have a lot of time for that bitch of yours and look forward to any posts you put up. That cross you were looking to do sounds right, I hope if you look into it you can suss the problem and have some success.

Those Regatta Oxbridge or sommat... I gave 'em one decent nights graft and they split at the side, in the cushion heel. Only had 'em a week.... Shite!
-
Point is, that if your looking for Collie based blood and don't want to use a Hancock dog, then Birds dog would be just about the only choice on here and IMO would be THE right choice too! As far as I know Bryn ain't been over a bitch as yet, someone's got to give it a go, got a good feeling about this dog, he just may produce some special things, lets face it he does enough graft! It does make me laugh when it comes to collie blooded dogs... How may members on here now? So many real advocates of 'em and so few genuine dogs....!
-
Nice bit of kit, thanks for sharing.

I'm most certainly with Dan & Idea (the hippy) on this one. I'd always look to a fast, proven lurcher before any greyhound. There is enough good stock out there, real fast types, dogs that have proven themselves generation after generation in the field, killing for a living. Yer, greyhounds were the baseline but we should have long moved on in lurcher production and make that effort in choosing new blood more carefully. That old addage that 'any old greyhound will do', is total tripe in this day and age! Ok, if you are looking for a genuine first cross dog then a greyhound could/wo

Thats a fast lookin bitch there Jo and if she does all you have put, then at £200 thats a bargain, I hope she goes to someone right, best of luck with the sale.

This, when I think of it always makes me smile... When I was younger and working as a Lifeguard, I used to have a boss that was as camp as fecking Christmas, looked like an effeminate John Pertwee. Thing was, it was all front, he'd have women as fast as you could shove 'em under him..! The best bit about him was that he was a complete feind..! He always made sure we took on young hot female lifeguards for the summer, which made us well happy BUT from the moment they started he'd have 'em under his wing, propper little bosses pet and they'd do feck all work and you'd end up doing their

I belive it affects a certain gene found in Collie blooded dogs but if you Google it and read off the website it'll tell you there. From when I've looked into it, all I found was information regarding Rough (Lassie) Collies even on there own website. Still wouldn't trust it on any pastoral blooded dogs mind, even of pedigree unknown, lurcher to lurcher blooded dogs because you just don't know whats in there make up. Topper is spot on withy his post, if your looking to clear worms, don't bother, Dorontal etc is much more effective BUT for skin problems etc, I've used it in the past with

I am Bill, an have been for the past 30 years (two clubs) the old Wigan Club and the Merseyside. I've certainly had me 'in's an out's' with 'em over the years but if the aim's are right and your club supports a greater cause, as well as bringing on from within (youngsters etc) then it's for the greater good that they exist... (that said, though I know the Pitfalls, an they are many...!)
-
Yep Skycat, I'd agree with that, the older a dog gets, the more experienced it gets on a line. Youngsters do pick up quick but it can be all 'piss an vinegar' as they charge in, ever too keen with a nose full and loosing the 'direct' in there enthusiasm. Expierience and a slower steady pace does the trick.
