I've kept Bull X's for the best part of 18 years but they are Bull x 'LURCHERS' and I run 'em the same as i've ran/run other crosses i've owned, no different! So i'm glad that there is no Bull x section, we don't need it on here, they are all fecking Lurchers! They run and catch stuff..... How hard is that to understand???!!!

You and me both Joe. In some areas they'll 'dust' all but the best dogs and i'd much sooner see 'em lamped than shot!

Damn fine photo's Chalk's of some damn fine beasts. Aye, they'd fill a freezer or two!

Spot on GTE My two penneth worth is this, I've never operated on the right side of the law, never have and prob's never will. Shunned (or made half arsed attempts at seeming keen) permission when ever offered.... it ain't my way! I simply enjoy the fact that I go when and wherever I choose BUT I've always had the utmost respect for landowners, the land and the stock, thats the way it always should be. Would agree with Chalkie too, you'll always get the ''dick-slaps'', in my time with the dogs i've seen enough come and go and they eventually do go. It seems to go in waves too, where ever

What you looking to get from that mix? Think you call that a mongrel mate......... Another muppet putting someone down. He's asking for the best cross No shit sherlock..... and pray tell, what is the best cross? Shall I tell you mr know it all? The best cross is the one that suits him, no one else. There are several different crosses for a reason. Everyone swearing by their chosen one. Just read the replies on here ff's. Now, I've read plenty of errr advice.... get a collie cross, get a saluki... bedlington.... greyhound cross cos whippets are peeesh....blah,blah, fart, -
Out of that lot, Christmas or a good fruit cake but i do like good bread n butter pudding too

I think alot of people are missin the point, i was out last night on the exact same ground i ran my first heat on against LAT. We ended up with six that night yet i went the EXACT same place last night an walked off with 35 rabbits. . Its what you call lampin its up an down an those that do enough of it will UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY. Theres a hell of alot of people on here to to talk things down. The lads that are in the comp WANT the ground they are runnin to be RIDDLED with rabbits to show what there dogs can do. We dont need anyone else to point out the obvious If only we all had this permiss

All sound advice Whin I hope he takes it on board -
I've commented on this cross before but here it is again, the standard poodle in its native France is still used as a gundog but only in limited ammounts, like for instance the cumbler spaniel, find (import) the 'right' type and maybe you'll get a sevicable lurcher that'll catch you the odd bunny or two but i'd be very surprised if these became real 'when the chips are down', do or die lurchers! Now i ain't read the article but i'll bet Mr Ratcher has gone and used a KC redge Poodle with nothing to commend it as a 'working dog', all I see is £££££ and with him writing in the CMW, i'm sur

How the hell would you get the comp run and done if you waited for the right night??? If YOU could come up with a better plan to run the comp and run ONLY on dark windy nights only feel free Unfit, you could enter, then and we'd see your much hyped, wink, wink, say no more dogs run eh.... See if they'd be the best dogs on the site? Whats that you always say.... 'If you only knew'.... Knew what exactly????? What do you do that everyone else doesn't or can't, what makes you and your dogs so special? Lets have it right, there are only so many quarry species in this land and some on

I enjoy both, though for me nothing beats a walk in the right spot

Risk Assessment form for ferreting? Eh, Shepp, do you need to have one for the permission your on or summat? Is it paid work, if so draw up you own. I'm at home not work otherwise i'd send you a blank. Heres how they go, draw up a box grid on 'excel' and put these headings in across the page.... First box 'ref no.', Second box 'Hazard' (what could cause harm), Third 'Risk of' (What could happen), Fourth 'Risk to' (Who might be harmed), Fifth 'Existing control measures' (List all measures you do, eg Elimination, reduction, isolation, training etc), After that four s

Was just a thought Dan from this post. Really dunno what you would class as hot but i'll bet it'll be a damn sight hotter for running dogs than over this side! You sound like you got it covered though Dan and know your animals well enough. Though if 10 mins with a clipper would have it done, then it may be well worth it, getting him smashed up is one thing, you can usually see and treat it but him going over with heat stroke, especially when his bloods up and reading some critter its last rights, is something that can be seriousley difficult to spot till its too late. Hope the rest of the he

its got feck all to di wi it being the norm....what is the point is there not enough breeds of lurchers out there to choose from,that would do the job better,ffs its just a money making scam by some dog peddlar prick my gran once owned a yorkie that used to slay rats...any terriermen fancy adding them to their bloodline its called trying some thing different if given the option,just like you not keeping the same car all your life .each to their own ,you just keep running the norm ,and those that want to try and go forward will try something different . i know what your saying mate,a

Lets get it right Unfit, that cross in the Countrymans is probably bred just to make a buck, as anything with Poodle in it these days is fetching good money. Now as for Standard Poodle crosses, true Poodles are a gun dog breed and in France, they are worked effectivley still BUT 99.9% of them over here are bred just for the show bench and lets face it, Poodles have been one of the most popular and long serving canine show ponies. In other words, for the production of decent servicable Lurchers.... Shite! If someone was looking for a gun dog cross we have plenty here that are not show tai

Fine animal Dan Would you not shave him down or strip him out in the summer to combat the heat?

Would anyone on her know of an old line of dogs that come from the Welsh/Shropshire borders. That are reputed to be tidy allrounders. A bloke called Shropshirebull off here put a bitch up for sale about 18months back, saying it was one of these, nice old type and i've heared off others that they do exist, any more info to these dogs would be interesting, who keeps 'em going and why?
-
Blacktabs, you mentioned that old stuff you still keep a line too, Bodger's stuff, you said, would that be Bodger Quimby as that sounds like a name I remember from the past, though I might be wrong or confused? Either way, it would be interesting to know more about 'em if poss. I'm sure I read somewhere that Plummer's old stuff came down from J.Arigho's original stuff, all gypsy bred, would that be off Bodger?

anyone in the right mind wouldnt get a 50/50 bull cross for bunnys and hares, , but a 1/4bull 3/4 grey is a diffrent matter, like anything some good, , alot more bad uns in what ever type of dog you get, , , why cant people just accept horses for courses and all that, some people on hear just like to argue, Folk have always been telling me i'm not of sound mind....Now I know :crazy:
