Ditch, what a wonderful write-up to an unfortunate incident, its quite obvious how much it would mean if that little dog pulls through. Keepin my (usually un-supersticious) fingers crossed for all three of ye today.

I was lucky enough to attend a talk night by the North Wales WTLC last night, the speaker was a Veterinarian and hunting Lawyer. Throughout his very informative talk on all aspects of hunting and the hunting act, he could not emphasize enough the 'dangers' of photography and film both to the individual and to hunting in general. He has delt with so many cases where the prosection has used seemingly 'harmless' photos (two lurchers marking a hole....."Marking badgers to be dug"!!) to try and convict...... Talk about a wake-up call. Though lets face it, its nothing we already don't know!! Th

A bloody good write up on what looks like a very good event, fair play to ya Ghostly....... The safety and grub side is very commendable. -

As a kid my better half Tracy, had a Lab as the family pet. She was six when she got him and promptley named him 'Muffin'. The years rolled on an as a sixteen year old she was round at her friends house to collect her for a night out. Her friend was still upstairs getting ready and Tracy was sat in the living room with the rest of the family when their family Alsation came boldly in. Seeing the stranger it was right over and doing the 'usual' of trying to ram its head up Tracys short skirt. Trying to fend it off and sound unconcerned, with mother, father and two older brothers there, she blur

I have read and re-read this post (and its link) and in my opinion is one of the best on this forum in recent months. Ditch as ever giving great 'food for thought'....... I'm near choked! Blue Coyote with some great responce and Wilf as ever..... almost painfully honest (i was gonna put frank but thats m.r.1's alias!). I wish I could contribute but I can't improve on whats been written by each and everyone. This is more of a 'bump' than a post...... Though if anything, I thought your last post Ditch was 'on the mark' concerning the current climate. A subject I chatted to StrongStuff a

Bill, Skycat, I agree with both of you but as I said thats the mindset of what has been and what has been handed down through the years......

I think thats about right Dog on, though there is still the case of lurchers being produced with a running dog (Grey or Whip) as they were/are easily available (and cheeper) and depending on the cross a 26"-27" Greyhound should pass pups more easily? My opinion would be thats whats always been and is still the case.....? I mentioned this to Doxhope a while back in a PM regarding Deerhound X's. I'll explain...... One of my first jobs as a kid was a lifeguard in a local swimming pool, an old guy, Jim, was the boilerman and an old lurcherman, he bred and ran dogs with John Nuttall of Cl

biking to keep the dog fit (paddin)
Bosun11 replied to saluki bouy's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Got to agree Nikey, they really do get used to it and enjoy the 'game'. Used to run with my dogs a while back, 'ol half x bull really took to it and I was gettin a great work out too (ideal if you had to be on your toes at hot spots!). After going to quieter places and him getting better I started running local....great! Came unstuck, whilst running down a duel carrageway, crossed a side road, bus stop on the right an a row of shops on the left, nearing the bus stop (its packed) a couple of 'hotties'...... 'looking good son, lookin good', I thinks as my head lifts and my stride improves.. -
Funny that with Nuttall, i've seen (or rather heard) Brian give a number of 'talks' over the years at various club nights, some going back over 25years (the old Wigan Club). Always this question came up and he always denied putting bull blood in..... I've seen bull/russells, bull/blacks and a bull/lakie work and though some of them did and work well Bull/russells mainly, I'd question as to what the bull added to the mix that a decent line of terrier wouldn't? 'Game', 'hard'..... plenty of strains and lines out there just as game & hard and would agree with Nikey that added bull would ca

Now that is a very tidy critter How old is he? If I was ever going for a 3/4 bred, that would be the X . I would hope he grafts as well as he looks. Best example i've seen on here yet.
