But is it 'wastage' if someone , as you said Whin, doesn't need a pacy dog? To use word 'wastage' when describing pups is wrong IMO, if bred from a sighthound (in this case greyhound), the litter is just divided in their form and speed... One mans meat is another mans.....!

Sorry to laugh but thats funny! Then again, i'll bet your worried about your pup. For me it's far to early to tell, even the most un-promising pups can turn into swans. You've kept collie crosses for long enough to see the ammount of difference in a litter of first crosses. Don't worry, i'll bet she'll turn out well. Bloody useful too

: Owned a cross of this type way back, as good a dog as anything i've owned since and better than most. Hindsight makes you wonder why the hell you changed your course and though its been a long road, the end may be in sight....!

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 your bitch any relation to Legsy's Atuddy? -
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!!!

anyone ever work there lurcher with half tail ect?
Bosun11 replied to black recking it's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
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.
