5/8 is a 3/4 X 1/2......suppose it's what you want it for, a good 5/8 should be faster than a 1/2 but IMO its down to what lines you use. As there is quite a bit of variation in pure bull lines. My halfs, from Pie lines have always thrown tall and racy, so they suit me fine.

welsh game fair

I was in that class with mine (was the one that ran in late with the black bullX....!). The judge, John Bromley didn't do much handling of any bullx's, said he'd bin bit the other week by a pure bred in his kennels an that had put him off a bit!!....... Met John a few times over the past 20 years, really nice fella, knows his dogs (he should, he's a top breeder 'n trainer) but judging at an event such as the Welsh what was he expecting?....In recent years there has been a big influx of Bullx's at most shows. -
As with most crosses i've seen good an bad, got to be from the right stuff. One thing does make me wonder though.... even from good lines the size an structure of this cross seems to vary quite a bit? some first crosses I've have seen leveled off at around 22" light boned too, yet others have come in at 27" an very strong, does anyone know if different working Wheaton lines have a great deal of size diffrerence??

Good post this, as there seems to be a lot of interest in pure whippets through EDRD over the past few months with a name or two that I would't associate with the breed owning them and I am wondering why......? Not that I know much about 'em....though age 8 my first dog was a whippet an was a cracker but our local track closed a year or two later an info has been scarce around these parts for the past 23 years as i aint seen a pure bred work since.

Clive Rees has recently reprisented Ken Woodacre our local 'dog whisperer', you may have seen it in the Countrymans or EDRD. Ken told me last week that Clive Rees done a fantastic job for him, after he had first used an 'expert' over from South Africa' who ended up putting Ken 20k out of pocket!! Clive took the case and Ken was acquited, also Rees will always go for Legal Aid. Know a couple of lads who have used him for digging offences too, all spoke very highly of him. Have a look at the articles L.B. i'm sure he's the man for the job.

If the piece has come off L.B. i'd leave it open, providing the kennel & run are clean (and i'm sure they are). Covering can trap bacteria and dirt that is present or soaks through. Good ol salt water twice a day plus the dog cleaning it should keep things in check, use antibiotics if it starts lookin poor.

Suppose 'bitsa' is the best.... collie x grew type on dam's side, deerhound/grey collie grey type sire, should have found out proper but my partner bought her when we were at Chirk last week, my bullX, Ox, (although great on the lead) is a wee bit much dog for her an she's been after sommat she can take out comfortably....'Bella' should be just right. Cheers.

Though i much prefer a run in the day, the majority of the dogs i've owned just couldn't catch 'em, it just excercises the hare! Plus, it's not the most sensible thing to do round these parts as everyone's on your case! Spinning 'em on the lamp my dogs catch a few, though not too many, a hare is a real bonus to the night. I find that local hares really know what the night game is all about and have watched some good, rapid dogs pushed to stop them. Elsware i've found them to be really green as far as lampin goes, hares really 'dazzled' by the beam. Funny thing i've noticed is that if a hare co

I'm disgustingly lucky mate, and I know and appreciate every minute of it! Sweet Jesus you are!!! Though far from the 'be all and end all' I find that I personally see much more using a filter, eyes really do shine, i know some people hate 'em but each to there own. You mention sweeping down 2 or 3 fields, my advice would be to keep the lamp to just one field at a time and make sure your in it before flicking on the beam, move in darkness an don't over illuminate. Cow fields can be a haven for game, some critters seem to prefer roaming about with bovines, though spooked cattle are

Your a lucky man Ditch.....15min drive for me to open land. then I'd agree with Molly, conditions are all important but what do you see around you in the day? Signs of rabbit, fox, hares etc, are they there, do you look at night where you find in the day? I have found that certain fields, no matter how promising they look, just don't seem to attract nowt and the next can be good. Does anyone else lamp the area? Do you use a filter?
