Good stuff Ray I was on the same game myself today, just a good 'ol mooch, found and ran plenty of stuff, we (me and the dogs) loved every minute. P.S. I don't blame Tod one little bit with the water, at this time of year..Feck that!!

Some cracking pics of some truly beautiful lurchers, I do like this cross. I did own a Hancock beardie cross some years back, bred out of Remus, a cracking bitch for finding and hunting up, she never stopped. These days a beardie cross wouldn't suit my needs and they certainly arn't a type to 'fit' with everyone but i'd have one again thats for sure, though i'd look to finding the right Beardie. Keep the thred going folks, Beardie and Greyhound only please!

A very bonny litter Mr Brook, a credit to you I'm surprised with the merles in there that their ain't a drop of collie in 'em? The chocolate will always grab the attention, as will the merles but I like the look of that little black 'un.

By christ mate, thats a downer of a write up if ever there was..! The thing is, if you are looking for the 'ultmate all rounder', well then to be honest, they really ain't that common!! You really seem to have tried a few different types, maybe your own expectations are a little high? Yep, in a few years with running dogs i have had a few that just wernt my cup of tea but those that at least made an effort I always tried to work with and made the best of, even though I knew all to well their shortcomings, with plenty of good times along the way. I suppose what i'm trying to say is tha

Blue eye, Clear eye & Black eye, had 'em all, damn good lamps in their day.

Fantastic, and just out for Christmas too... I'm gonna buy one for all the family, they love a good yarn.. Sorry, yawn!! Anyone else noticed, in that cover photo, he bears a striking resemblance to another publicity seeking glory hunter, the late D. B. Plummer... Edited to add, my copy is going on the mantle piece, to keep our baby away from the fire!

I'd have to agree with Ideation in his first paragraph, yep, thats it, Lurcher, in it's simplest terms As for bully headed lurchers and bunny crunching... Well if folk stopped thinking that bull crosses are some altogether mythical beast and looked upon them fat headed mutts as just another Lurcher, which they most certainly are. Then schooled 'em in exactly the same way, which they should. They would realise that starting any lurcher 'firstly' on rabbits, after sound basic training, will almost certainly produce a dog that retrieves live. Yep, their are always exceptions to the ty

A long time ago I very nearly stayed perminantly in Key West, got a job on a charter boat and it was pretty much idilic but the dogs eventually brought me back. Sometimes I think what might have been (Capt Ron ) but I've no regrets. My father-in-law has recently moved up from the Algarve to northern Portugal, were off there in May, from what I've heard it sounds 'right', plenty of 'black pork', maybe one for the future??

A very nice youngster, hope he does well for you -
Good post Neal I do belive that Paramo offer a service where your jacket can be re-enforced, with a much heavier material, to your speck if need be. Yep, obviously a cost to that but... Edited to add, I bought a Deerhunter Montana two years back, it's the none realtree, with the leather trim, I wear it as my general winter coat, looks really smart and maybe next year i'll 'retire it' to the field.
