Very nice pup's Wag......good luck with them

Red Squirrel's are a fave of mine too........ Sand Lizard's are somethin i used to see a lot of as a kid, loved watchin 'em basking, amazed to see 'em in the north.....tried in all the spots I knew as a kid but for the past 20 years have never seen one, shame, though I only hope they are still with us, a creature that's gettin rarer an rarer.

Your probably right Alimac, I'm a feckin tecnophobe an wouldn't know whats good an whats not, an yep they did pay a few hundred quid for 'em which to me is a lot of feckin dough for a gamble! They say they have now got the hang of 'em an have had good results.

Now on my third pair of Meindl's, had two pair of the old Borneo, an they were great boots got about 7 years out of each, went for a heavier (4 season boot) last time, can't remember their name and these seem indestructable, though I found them a little heavy for general wear, so I keep 'em for really heavy conditions. Mate of mine has the Meindl high leg hunter, he loves 'em but I find them too high for general lamping etc. Cheers

Few of the boy's got 'em now, they recon their good, specially if you got nervey foxes, only been out once with one, when my mate first got his.......... squeekin away, he's lookin through it an we are askin what he can see....... 'any foxes yet' says me, 'no but there's a feckin chicken comin up the field'.... ....'Eh!'.......He was convinced it was a chicken till it was about 25 yards off an i flicked on the beam......FOX!...bang, game over! What he was seein was the white chest of the fox coming forward, he was convinced it was a chicken!! He got some stick that night i'll tell ya!

a first cross or a second cross is in our opinion built for big game ie. deer,fox where as anything with little bull in it ie 1/4 to 3/4 is built more for speed so would be good on all game hare deer fox please correct me if im wrong terry Your not wrong Terry but a 'good' half X should be capable on most game (hares excluded, though I have owned one that could kill 'em on the lamp, on occasion) what you didn't mention was rabbits. Half's show a lot of desire on this game and though lacking the gears of the 3/4, they more than make up for it with detemination. All of the 1st

One of the smartest lookin dogs i've ever clapped eyes on was a standard poodle, shaved down short, fantastic shape to it, didn't know what it was an had to ask the owner as i'd only seen 'em with those stupid feckin show cuts. This dog was also a French import from workin lines. Poodle x greyhound...... Just sommat about a weirdo......

Voted heavy , though gotta agree with Joeox, how would you define heavy.......... First cross..........heavy?

Eat an shit.......wouldn't like to shovel up after that fecker!!

Happy Birthday Simoman, all the very best......Cheers!

Think i've read in the past that Bert Gripton fed his dogs quite regular on fox, as this would help a dog underground if it became trapped. Before locators I think this practice would have made good sense.

I had a job where I finished at 12, great shifts for lamping, I was on this shift for a week at a time, once every 6 weeks, out every night on that shift, bloody great, and a couple of rabbits to show for it Gotta agree Dox, worked shifts for 20 years, tried the 9-5, hated it! Finish at 11, half hour home, change an back out for a shine, feel more active an 'keen', have the better nights out then. It kills me waitin round to go out......7-8pm sittin round, gear an dog ready, ain't interested in the telly, time goin slower an slower, curtain twitchin, lookin at sky an trees, drivin

Many happy returns Chalks.....Cheers

Sent you a PM Good luck

He sounds like just the ticket Simo, dispite the problems, if ya loose him, you'd always 'regret' not doin it an thats a horrible thing to live with. Puttin all that effort into a dog (especially when your young) reallty makes you appreciate what you got, so to miss out on what could be just about right for you would be a real shame........trust me, i know!!!

We talkin Charles the first Ditchy? Thing is about the Stuarts it was all done with a bit'o flair an aplomb! My fave death of a monarch has got to go to Edward 2nd, poor fecker. Only surviving son of Edward 1st ('ol Longshanks, he who gave Mel Gibson a feckin bad time!). Now, if ya seen the film, 2nd was, lets say, bent as a fiddlers elbow an a constant embarrasment to his old man . On the death of 1st, he picked up the title but was never interested in administration or being a King (far to buisy playing 'hide the salami') . Yep, he did marry that fit French bird Isabella but she wa

Great pics Skycat, love to see dogs playin round in water but up to now all mine have hated the stuff......as i said, up till now......new pup Bella can't get enough of it, the big communal water bowl gets her full attention when fresh filled, she takes a run at it an sub-merges her full head, runs round like a nutter then dives back in again, only stops when there's about an inch of water in it an her head is whackin the bottom !! She's now sussed there's fish in the garden pond an does the sub-merge thing after them (must get pic)........if this goes on i'll be postin her updates in the fi

Some petty arguments when running a lurcher club
Bosun11 replied to doxhope's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Done the Club thing (big an small)a few times in the past, never again.........starts with the best will in the world, then all goes tit's up later!! Started one a number of years back (well, re-kindled an old one, that f****d up the first time). All well at first, ran a couple of shows to put some dough in the bank, agreed it to be used for terrier rescue, affiliation (WTF, CA, FMWTC etc) etc. Good shows, well attended, few hundred in the bank, all hell breaks loose.......'We want a night out on it'!!! ...... Eh, we agreed it's for rescue, affiliation etc........' f**k that we earned it -
