    Very difficult to sort mate, with a dog as old as that as usually not only do you have the sickening crys of the dog each night but the damage done the next mornin and then on top the worry of it getting out! My advice would be to really get to grips with re-enforcing your run, right down to anti-chew strips round the kennel door or, look into getting an all metal run in and a very strong, well insulated kennel. The next step is excercising the arse off your mutt, every day! Best of luck

    Tidy lookin pup, best of luck with it, can I ask what it's out of and how far back is the Pie dog? Your dead right Stabba, head size matters 'not a jot' but as Bird commented on it, I think the lad took it as a compliment and theres feck all wrong with that!
  3. Bosun11
    By my own admission, I'm very crap at this type of 'what the feck is it' type thing but that looks like a fecking Vulture???????

    Another very good show Brickie, one that needs more support, hope there is a good turnout for this one this year

    Chimp, I stand corrected on your mates 'cotton mouthed wonder dog' , fabulous! Not only retrieved but gutted and de-scaled too...... Thanks for sharing

    Great pics Bird, very interesting, love to see lurchers doin sommat a little different every so often, just proves what a wonderfully, versatile animal the working lurcher is. Oh and Chimp, if your really "not being funny", then put some pics up of your mates 'cotton mouthed wonder dog' or shut the feck up!!!

    Thanks for the clip Romany

    Good thred Chartpolski I think you may be right and Deerhound crosses are making a bit of a comeback, not before time either! There's always gonna be a place in this fair Isle for this cross, it's good to know that the folk who 'champion' them are looking to 'working' standards. Some of the best working lurchers I've ever seen in the field are of Deerhound decent, long may it continue.....

    The best in the North West

    Dan, as always, you talk a lot of sense, thank you CP you too The problem over this side of the pond is ....... Most folk think 'the grass is always greener' and 'can't see the wood for the trees'!!!!!

    Mines with Direct Line Stubby, they had an offer on, 12months for the price of 10.....! It was cheap enough and 'looks' pretty comprehensive. Thankfully, ain't had the need to use it yet but if we ever do that'll be the 'proof of the pudding'.

    Used to do a fair bit of lamping with my terriers BUT that was for rats, along the ditches that surrounded a local tip. Some fine sport to be had at that game, messy, wild an loads of fun, just how terriers like it! A good stick and a landing net comes in handy too. Terriers will stick to ditches if theres plenty on, quiet about it too, better that than f*****g off in the dark chasing rabbits, which i'll bet ya will happen. Enjoy!

    i have owned dogs that most on here would give their right arm for ,some have killed foxes for fun ,but i dont concider them a fox dog ,because they have caught other things much harder than a fox . So what are you trying to say..... Your the only bloke on here that has had a 'decent dog'.... get a fecking grip! To me, a 'fox dog' is determined by the fact that it can (could, pre-ban!) catch and kill its own foxes and has killed them in significant number. Whatever else your mutts can or can't do, is immeterial to me, or this thred, you can call them whatever you want...! the

    I know what your saying 2GOOD. If you 'want to catch that fox' its about shortening the odds. When (pre-ban) all I did was run foxes, you 'had' to run doubled. I was never going to drive for three hours plus (to get there) just to run one fecking dog! What i'm saying is that some of the best fox 'pullers' dont like the ivory, couldn't kill a fox! Seen some that are superbe, pulled hundreds of foxes..... For the 'real' dogs to kill BUT whatever anyone says a real 'fox dog' MUST be capable of running and killing its own foxes, single handed, throughout its working life, (seen enough 'j

    And the ones he's lost? They were never there anyway John! It's all spin.... I'd agree with Boyo, it's a small chance, so stand and be counted..... where you can, have YOUR say, push hard and you never know?
  20. Bosun11
    The answer to your question Stabba is single, if a dog can't do it on it's own, then IT AIN'T A FOX DOG !!!

    I ain't posted on this thred, as I know one or two of the lads on that DVD and for starters they have NEVER called themselves that. To be honest it isn't really a 'they' just one bloke and some of his mates, most of which change from week to week depending on who's dog is 'capable' from it's last night out! I've said this before and i'll say it again, I'VE NEVER SEEN THE DVD, I don't want to, but I do know that that DVD was taken from one of the lads without his permission and copied to make a fast buck! What I do know is that it's filmed on an 'average' Tuesday' type n

    Would that Farmer been Dave, now long retired.... Or Bill Roughly....?? I'll second that second bit and your especially your last line, I'll never say never but deep down I think we'll never freeze on that glorious 'Bank' again!!!

    An awful lot of votes can be won with comments like them and thats why he said 'em! Tell me, if he did become PM, would he face the public frenzy whipped up by the media by upturning the ban..? Not on your fecking life, the media would roast him, that'd sell papers and he'd be in it for the long term, just like Labour, so he wouldn't rock his boat too much. It would be nice to think he could help the Hunts a little, make life a bit easier, especially with Terrier work..... But for Lurcher& Terrier folk in general..... Not on your life mate!!!!!!!!!!

    A great 'free thinking' post GTE , with a election closing in fast, it's time to have a say, i did, when both Labour and Tory sent 'feelers' out asking which way i'd vote and why. Though Darcy's hit the nail on the head as far as the CA are concerned, money going to money! Personally, I really do not belive we will get anything back, once gone, it's gone forever. We can only hope that champions like Barry Wade continue to hold out and fight for small pockets of our chosen way of life and pray that somebody equally dedicated picks up the baton in years to come.

    If I was going to buy a Greyhound from a pup, with a view to hunting it, i'd make sure the line it's from are sound in the foot department, as this would be a greyhounds biggest weakness. Yep, they do tear a bit easy but seen enough Lurchers the same. Never used one for ferreting but i'd bet they'd take to it as would any other Lurcher and if brought up with it, they'll retrieve just fine. As far as i'm concerned, i've seen some crackin Greyhounds in the field, keen as feckin mustard but that speed can be lethal, i've spent many an outing with Greyhounds with my heart in my mouth, so you'd ha
