    I'm with Stabba on this one, kennel seperate! As he put it, lot less stress on your dog (and yourself). I keep two dogs at the moment, they are housed and fed seperate but excercise and have down time in the garden, under supervision. Sad affair loosing a dog in a kennel fight,sorry for your loss.

    @ Skycat. I'd always go for lurcher to lurcher,that would be MY preference. Provided you know the linage of the dogs, no matter what is in the crosses your using, like the ones mentioned above, with a fair percentage of sight hound, your chances of producing a 'runner' AND a worker will be high. Looking for the best attributes of the other dogs in the mix can/would be difficult BUT what you should be looking for is 'working ability'. Though, if you do have a good enough dog to breed from but you are unsure of its background or if maybe its a more speedy dog your after, then using a greyho

    Why not drop Bird a pm, that half cross dog of his, looks to be going well, he certainly does enough with it.

    I always like to let my dogs do a fair bit of daytime mooching during the summer, not really hunting, just letting 'em relax and enjoy the field, long walks on long evenings. Their skills as 'daytime dogs' really do improve and I feel we both get sommat out of it. Other than that I simply like seeing 'em lying full stretch in the garden enjoying the sun. Though maybe this year I'll find a show with a 'Pirate' class, so I can enter my one eyed dog, seems there's classes for every other fecking thing at most shows these days and that'd be the only class he might stand a chance in!!!

    Thats correct Chimp, Pie lost his tail after an 'altication' with a car door. Lost it quite early too and though a dog is better with a full 'rudder', it never stopped him from earning his reputation! TimmyK off here has a 3/4 bull x, thats had most of its tail amputated and that dog is not showing any sign of it's loss in the field Though being a pied dog he now looks like a Pointer with aids!

    Yous a blues man Clint...... Ain't seen that in a while, Steve Vai done that just after he'd left DLR and then went on to some sort of 'cosmic wierd shit' album stuff, he lost me right about then, too freaky for me.

    A man who does know his onions! As good as they are and they are probably the three best in the world 'at the moment', the guitarists guitarists, they all play too left of centre for me. Now if we were talking favorite....

    I'm a fair bit bigger than a 42" and got monkey arms too AA and I wear the XL. Best try before you buy though, i'll be worth it coz i'll bet you'll live in it!

    i'd agree with you there OTC, on the early outer stuff but it has got a damn sight better, with new lines in jackets. As for the Trail Shirt I originally posted on, well that looks smart as feck, especially in the 'Forrest' green.

    I think a mate has the pajaro, if it is, he rates it highly. Another thing is that Paramo will re-enforce any areas of clothing for tougher wear, apparently you send 'em back to the company with specifics and they'll sort it. Got a hunting mate on to Paramo a few years back, he liked the gear and bought more, he'd always suffered with soriasis (spelling?) but after wearing Paramo it cleared, now he lives in the stuff.

    To much of a dog for me to want to hunt I like 'em, admire the fact that though heavily persecuted, manage to overcome. I can fully understand native Aussies antipathy for 'em but if one had to 'go', it would have to be with a bullet. Just about every other critter from down under that I could run with a lurcher, i'd run with a lurcher but a dingo..... NO!

    Tidy lookin dog Saxonmaster, good that you took him, no such thing as too white Recon he will make the size, plenty of knuckel on him.

    It's not my thing to write reviews on here, never thought I would but I thought i'd share with you the best piece of kit i've had in a long while. I've been wearing Paramo Trail shirts in the field for about 7 years and find them superb. It'll keep you warm in winter and cool in summer as its reversable, it's tough, smart and you never have to iron it. If your on a demanding outing it'll keep you bone dry too as it 'wicks' away any moisture. If I'm honest, they are pricey but it will last you years. Always worn next to the skin as a base layer, you only need an outer shell in the m

    it ain't difficul to tune 'em in on lamping rats, you really don't have to teach 'em anything. Firstly, find a decent place for rats, ditches are good, farm buildings, with permission of course, etc. If your dogs have hunted before they'll know the scent and that its game on, all you have to do is walk round shining on any rats you encounter and encourage your dogs on 'em, as sometimes its a little different with the hight difference between you and your terrier, you can see it but your dog cant. They'll soon click that the rats are to be found at the end of the light and will forever more.

    Good result, used to love lamping rats. Used to do 'em on Crosby shore, as well as along ditches, great fun

    My first half x bull, for the first year of his life was brought up with my ferrets but after that i'd changed things a bit and mostly lamped and so my ferrets went. He never saw one from then on and grew to be everything I wanted from the cross, game as anything i've seen, he had taken everything. By his sixth year we were lamping along the dunes. Spinning the lamp round the beam lit up a pair of ruby eyes next to a patch of maram grass, definatley not a bunny, not quite a cat, smaller, maybe a fox cub but it was January. Feck it, against my better judgement I hissed him on. He tore down the

    Just stick 'em in with the smooths, unders and overs, all feckin 'Lurchers' anyway, I'm sure that judge knows his onions, if they are good enough, they'll win it.
