This light coloured bitch is 'Tess', grandaughter of Pie, out of Spike to a bitch out of Otter. The black dog below is out of Dee and was used to produce Ox, the young dog above.

Buck out of Dee... Pre-Ban!

I mentioned the Pie dog and his only half cross litter to his sister Otter, in the 'Best Bull Cross' thred, my old dog was out of Dee and the bitch in my avator is out of Spike to a bitch out of Otter, all from that 1/2 cross litter. The young dog I have on now is out of my old bitch to a dog out of Dee. Pie was a genuine first cross out of a bull called Max. I know both owners of Pie and the owners of Dee and Spike and seen these dogs at work, I'll say no more than it's the line I've kept ever since. The pick of my young dog Ox was taken last summer...... not quite lookin the same now!

My advice would be to go for something with a fair turn of speed and not too big.... 'BUT' stick to one dog, put as much time and effort into it as possible and i'm sure you will be well rewarded. Trying to 'bring on' two dogs can be very difficult training wise and (just sometimes) one or both can fall out of favour with you whilst starting them. One is more than enough for someone just starting. Good luck.

Wolfy, off this site does some good 'un's. Genuine Bulldogs made to your requrements. Cheers

Manda, you don't mention how old Spud is? I gather you have bought him on 'doin a bit'? Only advice I would give is, go back to jump training with him, start on real small stuff (just a hop over) and always lots of praise.....Make jumping fun for him and don't over train (time) or over match him (hight) on any one training session. Best of luck

Welcome back Bob........ You and me both, I lost connection back in November then had prob's with the 'mother board' in the pc and it took till yesterday to sort it..... nightmare! Big thanks to some for festive messages an how you doin stuff I recieved in the pm box. So from me as well, it's good to be back!!!

Great post and a great night Kye......keep 'em coming! Jusy one thing, when you dragged that second last coon over to the truck, it wasn't with that 'lodged pinky' was it!!?

Golf course......can leave you and your hound very flustrated and cemetarys can be death traps for big and inexperienced dogs.
-
Oh I remember that 'duck dog' you once had.....fantastic, game fecker...... Was always dug locked on.....'jaw to beak' type stuff........!! As for the actors we should open a drama school!! I'm good Wolfy, glad to see ya posting

Just my thoughts SJM but if its only running dogs you want for the cross then I would go for a good sound line of coursing dog, a line that is predominantly greyhound heavy and free from large inputs of saluki over the years. For adding 'wind' to your dogs these should be just the ticket, plus good feet, hight and prey drive....... For me, these specialist runners would be the perfect outcross to most lurcher 1/2 crosses, dogs that are judged then bred on their killing ability. Good luck with whatever dog you use

Not really into the car and bike theory and I'm not a big roadwork fan either. Running a dog behind a car (ok, trotting alongside?) does nothing for most dogs mental attitude, I think it pisses them off more than do 'em good and that can be a slippery slope down. Days of roadwork, marching along to try and 'put the milage in' does tighten tendons and really helps feet but it does pile on muscle and not the right running muscle either. So for me its just a good walk along roads in summer two to three times a week ending up a free gallop on a field, no pressure....... and a free gallop on the sa

Worked with a girl some years back Ditch, typical dumb blond and quite 'port out starboard home'. She was at ant-natal classes with someone else I know and we would get to hear great snippets like....'why can't you re-use disposable nappies' and 'can we wash the baby with washing up liqid in the shower'..........honest but the best was........ guess what she named the little fella when he finally arrived........poor bugger! She really didn't believe us when we told her about using those very names together!!!

An almost forgotten classic , Christopher Walken......legend.

Great replies lads, thanks. Kye, know what you mean, a mate bought a first X Deerhound pup years ago, living on the fringe of Altcar estate we would hear of his forthcoming hare and fox slaughter everytime we were out, so he starts him off on bunnies and the youngster did well for a big 'un, impressive. Thing is, fully matured at around 29", the dog never made it on hares, never figured out 'the moves' and wouldn't go near a fox but my mate was out weekly with this big fella, taking good hauls of rabbits! The lad ended up buying another Deerhound type, that made 27" and very lightly built,

I suppose I'm the same as Ditch, in that I voted that I don't breed but I have had two litters in the last 25 years. The first was 17 years ago after buying a good honest bitch that I had always admired, she was sold and I missed her first time round but she went to a messer who ran her on hard ground till she went lame. I had a look at the bitch for him and told him that she would be out of action for a while and no permanent damage was done. Two days later I recieved a phone call, he couldn't be arsed waiting and so, she was mine. Three weeks later and shes putting on weight . The resulti

Bought or bred a dog for a specific job but it excelled at another, especially against its type/size/temperament ?? As multi-functunal dogs our Lurchers come in all shapes and sizes but have you owned a dog that really suprised you in the field at doing something you never really expected it to do (and I don't mean 'jack'!!), opening up another door for you whilst out hunting?

Here is an old picture of Todd my Lakie, it's an old one taken about 1984/5 and again as a pup. Both are pics of pics so please excuse the quality. John Cowan bred, he was quite typical of the line, dogs quite light and leggy with strong 'doggie' type bitches, he also carried a silky 'top knot' (which I hated and would cut back) so there must have been some Bedlington way back. This dog was a real allrounder, came with me everywhere and worked the lot (oh those good 'ol 's!). Apart from the 'big stuff', I was offered the chance on black rats once by a pest controller in a old warehouse

Exactly, the pup i saw and handled looked capable of turning into quality dogs. The fella who had the seems genuine and i would not let anything thats been said on here be off putting. And BTW just in case anyones confused like i was there was a few pups there not just them two pictured above Well said John, these pups wouldn't have been put up on this site if I had any doubts about the parents or the lad who has/had them, all very good stuff. As I said before, I know the Bitch well and rate her highly, I figured such an unusual litter would generate interest on this site and it woul
