    It's always a shame that these threds 'usually' go the same way... If it's not aguing about earthwork then its about the different fractions of these terriers (who keeps the propper type etc)..!! For what its worth heres my two penneth worth, in the main, based on what has been written by Plummer himself... The Plummer terrier originated out of lines of Welsh terriers that were primarily used for earth work BUT Plummer never classed himself as a digging man, stating he had a 'dislike' for it and used the dogs, in the main, as ratters. Plummer wanted a pack of terriers (or better pu

    Very unfortunate mate but it could have been a lot worse. I've lost two good bitches to timber in fields. The first, a big fallen branch that had been covered by long grass, the bunny made a dash into the grass and the dog broke her neck. The second, a field where the previous night was clear and then the farmer had moved some stumps he had burned onto it, pitch black from the fire, neither me, the rabbit or the dog seen them till it was too late... The rabbit broke its neck, the dog ripped its self from earhole to arsehole and I lost another promising bitch..!! Good vets can be hard t

    Well you already know what I've ran over the years mate and we've had this conversation recently, but these days with the climate as it is and never trying to be a one trick pony, i'm always gonna look to Lurcher to Lurcher bred dogs, from sound, well tested parents.

    Ok, where to start... Well we got some new neighbours about 6 months back, a good family, who moved out of the city just like myself. Been thinking about getting a dog since they moved in and seem to have taken a shine to mine and asking all things lurcher. That'll do me, as i'd rather see a running dog next door and i'm sure young Dan (16yr old son) will get out with it. On the QT i'd had my eye out for a pup for 'em but nothing came up. Last Thursday Stoateyes phoned to ask if anyone was looking for a lurcher pup? I might be, whats the tale... Well the script is, he hears of a li

    Usually alone, day or night, working to just me and my dogs pace, love it. Though I have one or two good mates I enjoy a day or night out with, good banter, good hunting...

    The way I've always seen it is, that those who have spent their time hunting all day for the solitary bunny or anything at all and moved ever upwards are the folk who have 'served their time', the right way! Back in the day it was rare to get into the big stuff right away, that was hard learned. For me there was always the respect for those, usually older, who had come through the ranks and kept at it and.. rightly so. These days, for many, it's very different... And if you can't see the difference, you ain't been round long enough..!!!

    I never missed, from the early 's right through to the last, mostly 2 days but some years three. Good times, the best of times..!! What was memorable... As a kid, getting the early bus from Walton Church and walking the rest, bunking in, over the Alt and creeping up the ditches. Had a few close shaves but always made it. A mecca for all that hunted in the Liverpool area, a meeting place for all those you had not seen all year. Eventually paying my entrance and getting the filthiest looks off Stuart and Sam... Ha! the only time I could be walking their ground and they could do f

    Give me a dog thats 100% every time..! And, over time it'll use it's brain well enough and avoid the knocks! Show me a dog thats still running suicidal at 3 years of age and thats a dog that has not been entered right or seen enough.

    Good pics Russ, like the first pic of the second post where your dog is in full stride

    If it was me mate i'd always breed from a greyhound and keep the size up then if you decided later on further matings and preffered the size smaller use a whippet. I'd recon it would be a bit more difficult bringing up the size than bringing it down. As has been said, i'd look to the best blood possible for your greyhound, either one thats been worked or coursing blood. For which way round... A long time ago I worked with an old boy who bred and ran dogs with Nuttall of Clithero, Deerhound crosses,the hare dogs of their day & mentioned in Plummers early books. He always said that

    Looking for information on two 11 month old Bull Greyhound pups my mate has, bought from an ad in the Countrymans. The pups were bought in Doncaster and came to Liverpool. Both have turned out very well, fine lookin animals and he's looking to see if the breeder is on here or anyone knows of 'em for more information on breeding etc. Any help would be appreciated. I'll try to post some pics soon as... Cheers

    Do old minshaws have a dash of foxhound in them? That was supposed to be the case when they fist came to this city mate, B.Mc and co. were told by Vic that there was some in. One of the fist lurcher books is Simpsons, Rebecca The Lurcher, it's a nice, quaint book and the dog in question was a foxhound cross. Never fancied one myself, not that i'd doubt it wouldn't 'go' but it'd be the 'gob' on 'em that would put me right off!!!!
