  1. Grand looking saluki that Paddy pp... thanks mate got to start getting him right if im going to win this competiton atb pp Best of luck with that pp..
  2. Thanks AG. I will test him as much as i can, he will do a bit with me, seen a good few things already so far and has impressed me.
  3. Sorry to hear that, shame, as he was a good producer it seems, plenty of good ones running out of him.
  4. Thanks folks. pp, he seems to becoming an all rounder so far, happy with him, he is still green, but learning well, they take their time to mature, as you know, thanks.
  5. Have had this lad below a few months now, his a full saluki, tor of dartmoor and win swift, 17 month old. Doing very well. I decided to get started on just a few bunny's last night, nothing major, just to see how he would perform, as he has never been on the lamp before. When we first got their, he was reluctant to come out the car a bit, as it was dark..lol, his use to going out in the early mornings and daytime. Him came out eventually and once he started to sniff the ground with the scent of rabbits, he started to pull on his slip. Took a while for him to spot the bunny's in the beam
  6. Trying to pm you, inbox full.
  7. Not many of them about thankfully, it is a bit over the top,way too much prey drive for its own good by the sound of it...!! Glad it got a home where it was loved in the end..lol
  8. Christ, that was a mad dog ...thanks for that socks, i see where your user name comes from now.. lol..
  9. Spot on lads. Its also good i think to keep up the stock breaking on a regular basis, so they don't forget, a few short reminders works well i find. my dogs see horses, cows and sheep daily ... they dont have the chance to forget Even better..
  10. Spot on lads. Its also good i think to keep up the stock breaking on a regular basis, so they don't forget, a few short reminders works well i find.
  11. No bother pal, interesting listening to you both..lol
  12. Just the experience i had on 2 dogs, they were 100% safe with sheep before. Some do, some don't.
  13. Reminds me of a dog i had back in 1994, he was whippet x greyhound with a touch of collie, only 23'' and took a lot of fallow for me.
  14. That's a interesting and good point db, as i remember in turkey, years ago, tazis and saukis working around sheep and goats and killing foxes and small deer ect with no problems.
  15. Tha'ts another thing i use to find in the passed, dogs that killed deer on a regular basis, tended to go for sheep more, i think regular updates on stock breaking to sheep is a must., in situations like that.
  16. Have to agree with fitchet, forrestry and dogs don't mix in my experience, even when brought up running threw them. !
  17. Sound Gem, personally, i would not use one, however, if your dog is mainly a pet, then work away.
  18. Is it a shock collar you were thinking of using Gem, as i have found in the passed they can stop some dogs chasing altogether. ! Nasty things them at times!
  19. ..that's good. I also seen a similar situation on the Andrew Edwards fox hunting dvd's, his dogs were spot on and hunted for miles across sheep country.
  20. Good posts. Bird, spot on. The irish lads out their, do you run near sheep, or avoid them as well? if you run near sheep, what do you do to stoke break them to sheep? Their a case their earlier in the year, where some lads were coursing in the west of Ireland, their dogs killed some sheep, the land was good for hares, but these lads, were a bit too early and did not wait for the sheep to be taken off!
  21. Their seems to be a lot of coursing lads on here now, that are here in Ireland. I know that and seen on here, Captain breaks his pups to sheep, putting in the effort and making sure they get walked around them and not have any interest in them,, fair play. What other coursing lads on here, do the same?? I am asking this, as i was talking to a good mate of mine last night, that has land and is over run with hares, he also has sheep and every year, come september/ october, he has very bad problems with hare courses, their dogs run hares threw sheep and then when they miss or kill the hare,
  22. Just thought i would bring this back up. Any more experiences folks?
