This man is in more dire need of a blow job than anyone on the planet!! :wacko:

Skill in my book, anytime.... Out and out speed has killed more lurchers than the RSPCA! Nowt better than watching a fast dog but speeds got to be harnessed to be effective especially to see a long working life in a dog. All greyhound composits will posess 'enough' speed, IMO if it were all about speed you'd never need a lurcher, the greyhound would fit the bill just right.

If they ain't been worn much and not moulded to someone elses foot, £30 quid an a bit of oil or Renapur will see 'em right for years of digging. Though it's an 'aquired' foot that'll learn to use Fell Boots, most give up cause they find 'em too awkward...

strait pit :wacko: get a grip Is it possible that there was a full bull and a bull greyhound called Pie? It's possible but the half cross Pie dog from Wigan was known in most parts of the country by lads who kept the same type. Lots of talk amongst folk and one thing changes to another.... maybe??? Also, Pie was practically used as an open stud for a while and he lined all sorts, mostly to the detriment of his name.

Thanks for that Shell, just the type of reply I've been after. Not that I've ever thought Ox would never work again, he will. Though just as you said, he'll have his limitations but it's my job to ensure he gains confidence in his own ability and his graft will suit his capabilitys.

Ok, I suppose it's where to start with this post? First, i'd like to say a big thanks to all who posted on the subject and the pm's that came in. Also a massive thanks to SS and TimmyK for the support over the past few weeks. So I better start from the promising out look shared by my vet and I. As I said earlier, it was a gamble from the burst but it started to look good. Ox was visiting the vet twice weekly and all seemed well, the vet warned me that he was a long way from out of the thick of it but there was a good chance he would keep the eye. Next visit two weeks... Then all t

Though i'm sure he'll put it direct himself, I spoke to SS last night and this is NOT the same bloke.

I think I may have bumped into Snoops near Ormskirk on saturday???

Your right Sounder there are some decent dogs in the North For the field size you have i'd look for a 1/2 or 5/8ths, not that theirs owt wrong with 3/4's but some of the bigger dogs can take a moment or two longer getting into their stride. I like the first two for the terrier job also Whatever you chose, just ensure both parents are doing either just what you want or excelling your needs and you wont go far wrong.

Crackin reply Wink Hound. I've just looked into where I first read about greyhound foxes and it came from Plummers Fell Terrier, now for all his ramblings, it's the one book of his worth merit, if only for going to the lenths to make it. What it states in there is that, though many old time fell men belived they did exist, no evidence has ever been produced, he also states that foxes running over a fell side do look much bigger due to terrain and that diet, being more sparce for the fell fox than southern foxes, would add to this 'illusion'. All food for thought....!

That 'was' a bit of an issue when it first appeared SJM, as the lad who made and owned it lent it out to a 'mate' only to have it copied and distributed (though me thinks it was all a bit Pam & Tommy ). Though i'd say I know some of the lads and dogs well, i've never seen this little flick as they said it was far from a classic !!!
-
I will have in the next couple of days!!!! You must be bored if you're tidying your car out!? I'll swap you it for a puppy collar ............... You just can't help yourself, can you! Done!!!!

To be honest Scouser, I never used it and I've only used red in the past but now I don't have a Blitz.

Got a new blue Lightforce Blitz filter in blue, if anyone wants it, it's still packaged. Not lookin for any money for it but will swap (dunno what for though?) and i'm not goin to post it, so if its any good to you please come and collect it or we can meet local. Location is on the left. Helmets need not apply! Please pm me first. Ta

Minshaw/Saluki crosses were popular with a few local lads a few years back, Obo lined a saluki/grey and the pups made decent dogs, a couple of mates still have bitches from that first lining, old dears now but still put in the odd night.
-
That would make more sense Selwyn, I too had a subscription. Though the tale I got was off GJ when talking about it on his stall at a show a few years after. I was connected with the old Wigan dog club back then and Glyn asked me if I knew anythin about anti's at the office for the mag?

When you say tickets Sheamus are you talkin programme cards or the actual tickets? i've got a full set of cards from 1980.

I thought Lucy was just Deerhound/Grey, that dog on the cover does look to have a drop of collie in it, it looks different from other pics of Lucy i've seen??

Thats a real shame Joe, was looking forward to the book more than anything written for years. Don't get that womans problem, whilst ASD seems a real nice bloke his Mrs seems to stir up shit out of nothing, almost evertytime? For all i've read on these forums, she seems dedicated enough to the dogs and what Andy does with 'em but could cause trouble in an empty house! I guess its she who wears the trousers in that household?? As I said, a real shame.

Dunno if you'd call this a prank but it was feckin stupid!! :stupid: Our school was a five story orrible rectangular block. Every year a firm would come in to re-paint all the windows. Using one of them contraptions on pulleys to stand in an get the work done. Fixed along the roof, 3 blokes would move up and down between floors doin their work. The steel cables to run the thing were weighted at the bottom with huge cast iron weights. I remember the workies challenging lads to pick 'em up, whilst setting up their kit, no one did more than a few inches. :showoff: We waited about 3 weeks t
