    Putting these on for a good mate. Bred for own use. Out of his 27" bitch, Ridgeback/Grey X Bull/Grey, she's around 7years old and has run the spectrum, fast and game. I have seen this bitch (Widow) run and she is always impressive, also good out with terriers. The Sire is out of her litter brother to a 3/4 bitch, around 3 years old and 28", this dog is doing very well. Pics of pups and Sire (Widow was out getting her fitness back when I called round!) Pups priced at £100.00, dogs and bitches left, PM for details. Cheers

    Couldn't have put it better SJM Pure spineless drivel........ Wish someone would dig that Lloyd fella up again, wherever he's been hiding I'm sure he could spice things up again!!

    Maybe it was luck Frank but I would say that with the multitude of dogs (both greyhound and pastoral) that must go through this breeders yard, plenty will/would be quite sound physically, most greyhounds (track and coursing) are of perfect conformation, though feet can be suspect in certain lines and pastoral breeds in the main have very good feet. It's around 30" above these what I would be worried about!!

    Mine too Swamper, though without the logo, an estate, cost me £60.00 an lasted around 12 months. Bought it on the Friday an first trip out was Sunday, 4 mates 6 dogs and a trip down Shropshire digging, only past my test the week before...... Wild days!!!

    Yep, gotta agree lucky, a long haul usually ended up with good results. Though, its always worth marking the areas you hit on the map and keeping notes on numbers and weather conditions. Walking my 'local' lamping spots usually lands me a few throughout the season but they ain't my main quarry in these specks and are just an added bonus and would never go out walking local just for foxes (they just arn't there in enough numbers). On salting, I have often split and dropped the first bunny caught on the first big field I walk and yes, after an hour or two returned to see a fox in the field (on

    Ah.....Donnington.......All seems like a lifetime ago (an to most on here probably was!) sat here looking at the Tshirt from 20th August 1988.....Maiden headlined, Kiss, Megadeth and Guns & Roses (for anyone younger, see the Paradise City vid) but best of all Dave Lee Roth.....feckin legend!!

    I'm with you on the latter two Simo but 'cheese fondue'........ did you win your set on the Generation Game in the 70's!! Had one go of the 'ol fondue...... would have been nice but for the huge blister it left on the roof of my mouth not to mention near taking my top lip clean off

    Yer Ditch......I can recall we had this conversation on one of my first visits to the 'chat room' (an I'm still here!), i'm sure we all do or have done it at some stage and most of us blokes will admit, when required, to swinging the buttocks in our trusty hounds general direction (though makes me wonder about our female hunters? My missus in particular, as her exaust would rival a shire horse!!). Think its the same as the old Big Yin line....... 'Never trust a man, who, left alone in a kitchen with a tea cosey, would not put it on his head!!' It must be hell to a good marking dog!!!!

    saluki

    Bosun11 replied to a topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    I have never seen a straight Saluki X take a fox..... Pull 'em, yes but finish the job in the manner of a real deal single handed fox dog, not me. Sure, over the years i have witnessed plenty of 'predominantly' Saluki blooded dogs make good fox killing dogs, some fecking lethal (my mate owned a cracker recently) but all these carried some other blood in 'em. A little tale...... A few years back I went out with two dogs that came from good match running stuff, and had done well in this field, both were noted as being nasty feckers for fighting and both had taken deer well. They certain

    Amongst the different critters i seen whilst on hols, this fella blew me away by sheer size, about as long as my hand, an at 6.1" my hands aint small (I know this as they make sommat else look really small whilst.... )

    Ha Ha, thats about the same advice i have found on here too......... Stick with it an you'll have a world beater!!!

    A very sad accident......Deepest sympathies to all.........

    I fully agree m.r1.......clubs and groups should get involved and a 'push' is needed but for the layman this needs to come through our publications a lot more. The then BFSS were the backbone of the Fed (as you say 'in the past') but I see little support these days. I too have attended both at Worcestershire and some 15 or so years later at Cumbria and a difference was obvious, I also felt a sense of 'a group in hiding' at Cumbria, never seemed so at Worcestershire and yes, sad to say, the Welsh and southern clubs were conspicuous by there absence. I wish Barry and the 'National Working Terr

    Well said Waz but.......thats no small ammount each year to end up in a bottomless pit and what do we have to show for it?.......I'm with Darcy, in that it just gets 'creamed' by some. Throwing money at something isn't always the best solution (remember the money given so blatantly, generously and willingly at Hide Park (amongst others) and where did that feckin get us?) Profile and communication are the keys here, a platform needed....... But I do wonder........ why is information on the Fed so difficut for people to access (the FMWTC seems to be going the same way?), does Barry try to p

    I have attended NWTF meetings and agree with you totally m.r1 on the work B. Wade does. Its always been a mystery to me, over the years, that the BFSS and BASC have never really promoted or supported the NWTF (well, it's never obvious anyways)! Yes, your points are very valid with regard to club donation BUT 'some' smaller shows & clubs (in the past) are born an run by local lads usually, few have ever really gotten to grips with the political side of things, their members usually swerve anything that is remotley linked to forms, phone calls or signatures. Most individuals are not membe

    'Rover'......Ain't heard that name for a dog in many a moon! As a kid plenty of folk called there dogs Rover. I think it was because most were kicked out into the street to go where they pleased...... 'Rebel' was a name given to Alsations a lot back then too. He looks a cracker though...... good example of the cross.........best of luck with him

    Ha ha hah......Nikey.....nowt worse than to be cought off guard, though........ If anyone has seen the stall that the Merseyside Club puts out (last seen at Peover Hall) they have a board specially for the trips out and who got caught 'dozing'......big mistake to kip!!!.... Damn good brows it is too..... With a 'who's who' of scouse lads (if yer know any?) an a few well known faces (some both 'writing' and 'gracing' well known books, and pro hunting Tv series !) too!!..... Oh yer, we're all there........ .....'Proud as Punch'!! At every 'Pro' hunting march this countrys ever had, t

    Well done 'again' John .....by the sounds of it, you really are an opportunist hunter (though better not relate your 'local' success!)
  25. Bosun11
    Now don't you go 'forgetting yourself' there.....whilst 'in' with the 'Big Boys'...... Seriously though.........Go for it mate!! Your gear is a match for anyones...... Give it your best shot.....an let a 'gutted' b*****d know how it all went !!!
