  1. It was in the gazehounds and coursing book by Dutch salmon where I read about them,think there was a dog called filo 31 inch tts,that was said to have been able to stay on a jack rabbit for 3 minutes with the salukis,do you get a chance to run the rabbits dan or are you too busy sorting the coyotes out
  2. Any dog that lurches can be called a lurcher regardless of breed explain ? If a dog comes up on it's quarry,and slows down slightly,and attempts to pick up it,s prey when it turns by cutting to one side,rather than overshooting,The dog has learn't how to lurch,this is the reason why coursing greyhounds dont get ran too often as they wont clock the points up unless they are forcing a hare to turn,rather than hanging back until the hare decides to turn and allows the dog a chance to cut the corner and pick the hare up side on

  4. That pup of tommys could pull a f*****g kart its got a right old chest stands proud as f**k am the daddy get ready lol. They've certainly got some bulk about them,never seen saluki crosses like them before,must be some rotty blood somewhere in lucas lol
  5. Big old dog lucas,some width of front end,where does the size come from,pups all look very well all the best with them
  6. What's this I hear about the chicken and mushroom slice line,are they the more streamline type
  7. One american working dog I would like to see,after what I have read about them would be the cunningham greyhound
  8. i no mate was only joking but i dont see the point if you hav no dog or gun you will only make them shy Nothing wrong with getting out with the lamp and seeing what the land is holding,and shining a lamp wont make the quarry shy,that comes from,previous experience of escaping a pursuer
  9. Never made any from scratch,but the premium kits from woodfordes are pretty good
  10. That looks feckin rotten p w,what you need is a couple of carrots,some mushrooms,put it in an ovenproof dish,with your rabbit and onions,cook nice and slowly
  11. Good looking team captain,the red bitch looks like she's put some beef on lol
  12. Been interested in these fast type of dogs for a while now,never known anyone to run them,and for me my only worry has been,injuries and having to see a fairly young dog having to be retired If I was younger I would have bred one of my grews to a 3/4 saluki 1/4 greyhound & kept a dog back, being 65 I couldn't do the dog justice. Like the sound of that cross,my dogs are something like 5/8 saluki the rest being a mixture of Irisn terrier,greyhound,and if what i have heard about the breeding is true I believe there is some deerhound and maybe some borzoi from the irish side of the breedin

  14. If the hare was that easy to put in the bag,they would have become extinct centuries ago,but when you see some of the top dogs in the forley cup stopping 5 or 6 single handed,it proves how quickly the fen coursing scene progressed,and how much time and effort some of the lads must have put in to get to that level
  15. Been trying to tell my dogs they're not allowed to chase them big rabbit looking things but they're having none of it
  16. What,did'nt even bring it round for you,not worth a light some neighbours are they
  17. Distinctive looking pup,cant be too many about like that,hope you find out what scabby b@stard took her,and get her back safely all the best
  18. Anyone know of any Leghorn breeders in the northumberland/durham area,I've been talking to some of the poultry men at the local allotments,they dont know of anyone,and they we're saying some of the fertile eggs they've sent off for have'nt produced what they we're hoping for
  19. All this debate about what should be done in the hare's best interest,I might be biased as I have coursing bred dogs,but to my mind I cannot see a more natural and healthy way to conserve the hare population other than by coursing.after all it is said to be the most ancient of fieldsports and coursing was the reason that they were brought here in the first place,if the Altcar estate is anything to go by,how many other estates,and strong hare populations have had to suffer,in the so called name of animal welfare
  20. Looks like some team you've got there,bet you have some fun with them
