  12. There is no doubt what your saying Ali but you know how much catridges I fire in a year ....Started using sipes in Nov and there is a deffinate differance like I say they are a very good killing cat I was out shooting pigeons last month over over kayle but there was a grass verge end rig about 30 yards so where our hide was some of the birds coming in were 60 yards plus as we paced it out I was consistanly dropping them at that range once you got your eye in ....I gave my mate a box and he dropped his first 10 in a row with the sipes....most of the keepers are using them up here now ....Im
  13. Surely puting coursing type into the mix has a lot more to offer than a straight greyhound ...I have a mate that had a dog straight out of havoc ....never saw the dog work as he was old and has passed on but was told from lads I trust that he was a fair animal ....I have seen stuff work out of the dog and one bitch is one of the best lurchers I have seen .....another big red dog was ok..made alot of easy dos look difficult it went down to liverpool and I hear its doing well just needed more stuff ...and saw a young dog start and it was very impressive to say the least

  19. If I bred a litter I'd keep as many as I could on for what ever amount of time ot took wether it be 8 week or 8 month. If Your going through all the hassle of breeding you want to make sure you get what you want your words not mine ...im not going to argue about it with you ...but I would rather put everything into 1 pup than little into a few and if you realy wanted to know if you picked a good un you wont find that out for a few years not months
