  1. Oh you do like to stir the pot... ???
  2. Great stuff, hope all goes well with it. Keep us posted ?
  3. Cocker/Bull ? - Got no use for a first cross lurcher of any type these days. In yesteryear those early Bull bloods were right up there using quality bull blood. Same with Beddys and quality Rillington stuff. The pastoral boys may say the same with their faves, and though i've owned a couple i couldn't tell you if collie crosses were better then or now. Give me sommat line bred, off proven gear and i'll be happy. ?
  4. Owned a couple of dogs that had a drop of Deerhound blood in em, the best of which had a lot more desert dog blood in it. I've posted this a couple of times on here years back but here it is again for those who've not read it.... Used to work with an old boy, back in the late 1980's, who did a lot of coursing back in his day, which was the 60's and early 70's. Jimmy was a farmer, a tennent farmer on a farm in Halsall, on the edge of Altcar estate. He would always doff an invisible hat to anyone he thought was a station above himself and mutter a volley of unpleasantries under his bre
  5. No mate, have thought about it but it's what i'd put over her and who would want em. I'd love to see something from her doing well and have the chance of owning sommat from her too but breeding just ain't my thing, which is a shame really.
  6. Gettin a bit daft now.... Sort yourselves out or i'm pulling it. Thanks
  7. I've worked dogs since the late 70's and right through till now there's been both good and bad in the game, of equal measure. We always look back with rose tinted glasses but almost nothings changed. The naivety of lads with the media (social, mainstream and online platforms) is the same now as it was when those lads were on the Cook Report back in the 80's. With the real constant issue being infighting, rather than support...
  8. Play nice now boys, play nice.... ?
  9. Reminds me of my youth seeing that, my grandad had a shed with stable doors where the top was never closed and we had blackbirds nests in there every year... Happy times. Got our local blackbirds on their second clutch in our hedge this year. First one side, now the other. They've lost one fledgling to the magpies this year but i'm glad to say my young lurcher nailed a maggi, whilst they were nailing the chick.
  10. Is this a post, advertisement, reference, article or what and what does it have to do with deerhound crosses (in the hunting field!) anyway ?
  11. Been told to give that Seaspiricy a go... Anyone seen it? ?
  12. Stunning pups, with exceptional bloodlines, a decent price too. I'd snap one of these up in a heartbeat if i didn't have my little bin licking Scouser bred cur...
  13. ?? Superb Ken, keep us posted ?
  14. My lot were a fecking disaster from the new year onwards... I can only hope we have a huge clearout and find players that want to play for the club.
  15. Please do Neal, looking forward to reading them ?
  16. Been reading a bit of this thread, not all and yes, i remember George's dogs being advertised and sold. To me he was a man who 'tried' for the type (breed) and done what he could to keep them working and alive. I'm sure there are others too... But two things hit me when i read this thread, firstly imo, if it looks like a Beddy, then it is a Beddy. Same with white dogs, blacks etc... Secondly, the type as a worker is doomed... Because those that claim to possess it can't see the wood for the trees... You only have to look at the black dogs. The world is being saturated by them BU
  17. What is funny is how much i now appreciate the electronic 80's now. I bought so much of it back then but if asked what i listened to i always said sommat 'heavier'... These days i drag TFF, Blacmange or the Human League out more than anything...
