    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.....

    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?

    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

    For christs sake, stop putting human ethics on animals! You gonna be telling us your a vegan next!!!

    If he's out an well excercised, then, I suppose, thats just the way his feet are made, doesen't mean he is flat footed! Different dogs have differing types of feet, some Saluki types have 'splayed' feet type, as opposed to a greyhounds tight 'cat like' feet. Flat foot is when feet have spent too long in a kennel.... Without excercise! I suggest, you'll be much more 'informed' when you start running the dog on quarry and SEE how those 'flat feet' perform. 'Hansom is, how hansom does' !

    Marksman, think this is my first post in this section as I ain't owned an air rifle for many a year (though one day i'll get my finger out an buy one!) but your post on an old Tornado got me looking, as it was my first 'decent' rifle, when i was about 14 (i'm now 43!). Many a bunny bit the dust with this one! I must say what a fantastic job you've done on the old gun and what a pleasure it is to see a Tornado as I did see 'em, back in the day. Well done!!

    Hedz, your answers are well thought out and for my money, on the mark Though Stabs always comes out with a gem and in this case he did get me thinking I've seen good hill collies work there bollocks off on a hard day, all day and with no quit in 'em. Once seen a collie make a mess of a 'well bred' bull terrier and the collie was on a chain, the bull terrier eventually got the upper hand but that sheep herding mutt would have still 'gone' and was as game as when the battle kicked off, screeming for more as the farmer dragged them apart! I suppose what i'm trying to say, is that I do

    Out of the three litters that i`ve had out of my bitch, I`de say that 90% of the pups have turned out reasonable workers, and one or two i would say exceptional workers, and i belive that the dam plays a big part in a pups early developement...From the 1st litter i did`nt keep a pup back as most were given to mates, from the 2nd litter i kept a dog pup, that was shapeing up well, but it broke it`s neck at 5-1/2 month old, and from the 3rd litter i kept a dog pup that did`nt turn out as i expected, but his new owner is keeping in touch and he`s doing well for him..... I do belive though that b
