  1. Though i've no idea what his stud dogs are like these days but if your wanting a genuine collie cross and you can't find one anywhere else, then go to Sutton Coldfield.
  2. In an ideal world, i'd love to live in the Lake district but with zero tourists...
  3. Apologies Newkid, my post was just a generalisation and in no way directed at you or your post.
  4. The problem with kids these days is that most people are trying to be their kids 'mate' instead of being their fecking PARENT...!
  5. As harsh as it may sound, you'd be better turning your back and leave em to their own devices.... The fact of the matter is that some folks treat dogs much different than others and dont give a feck about it. See, some dogs just end up with a piss poor standard of living, without any direct cruelty inflicted. We have a pair of fat, greasy, trampy feckers down my lane, they run a horse sanctury but keep two dogs at home in total squalor, their house is almost surrounded by trees and open countryside, yet the poor mutts have never set foot out their yard, paddling round in shite a
  6. It dont matter what type of working dog, because if you aint striving to improve performance then you should never bother breeding...! And after that... The best lurchers are made, as well as born. Every lurcher is only as good as the ammount of quarry thats put infront of it..!!! Now lets get back on track... Line bred lurchers.... Waddya know???
  7. Sounds good, though i've never worn a hat for bed... A mask when the mood takes her but never a hat... ?
  8. Same thing with me DS, never got bitten by any insect till my mid 40's and now i'm a fecking magnet. This has been my worst year by far..!? Right, off to ebay for some of that Avon wallop! ?
  9. Near enough PH, though there ain't no staff in em. ?
  10. Gary's line of terrier has always thrown whites. If you read Fell Terrier it explains why too. Until the late 70's they were litter givaways... I remember Gravel & Flint, both belly brothers. Both would/could work. Gouldy bought Flint for a decent sum, knowing there was a few bob to be made from him. Gary kept Gravel but had him out at stud with PM, who was a member of the old Wigan Club, of which i was also a member. PM bred a lot of pups out of him but not anywhere near what Ken churned out! Although Gary owned Gravel and Billy, Gravel's son, he didn't push the type too mu
  11. Another nerve agent.... What is that shit anyway? Probs no worse than a heavy hit of Spice! Pure bullshit... There are far worse things going on on our streets, yet the goverment looses its head over so called 'nerve agents' that dont kill people!? I'm with Wilf, deflection tactics...?
  12. - Only ever bring one pup on to train and that training will take about 2 years, dont let your head get turned whilst its ongoing. - Never get jealous of someone else training their pup, put all your effort into your own. - For the first 6 months of its life its a 'puppy', not a lurcher, so train it as one. - Good recall is a must but they aint robots, so there will be slip up's now and again. - Never over do retrieve training, it should always be a game. - Teach a pup to jump but don't overface it. - Make sure your pup is stock trained. - If your pup is to b
  13. Over the past 12 months i've seen enough collie bred pups and adults advertised on facebook sites to tell me they are far from endangered. Be patient, seek out these pages and other websites like Dragon Driving. The right litter will eventually turn up. And if you've not got patience, then go to Hancocks, you'll get exactly what your after, just do your homework on his studs.
  14. Two line bred belly brothers, one put to another line bred lurcher, the other to a bull cross. Pups from each litter hard tested and put the best back to each other. Up to date and the line has continued with no outcrosses and will do for years to come.
  15. Might mean it just 'looks' hard.... ?
  16. All working terrier pups (& lurcher pups!) should still be Exchange & Mart prices ayway... ??
  17. Line bred coursing dog to a line bred lurcher (one with a bit of substance to it!).
  18. Apart from one or two on this thread, a post with this title would have shown very different dogs 10 years ago...
  19. It's the game thats changed, not the various crosses ability.... One of the qualities of both collie an beddy crosses is that they 'fit in'. No one bats an eye on the type because they are popular pets.... Edited to add... If your serious about your game, you'll run whatever cross gets the job done... End of...
