    The Tories are getting it tight from every man, woman, bishop and dog for refusing to take more immigrants. I'm assuming you'd replace them with labour or the like when they're kicked out ?, you know?, that's the same labour shouting take more in.

    Had them both kennelled and indoors over the years, made not a jot of difference to their working ability. There's other factors to consider, a house lurcher taken hunting every other weekend is not likely to be better than a kennelled dog taken out daily, to say a dog will be better due to living in doesn't make sense. Listening to some of the guys promoting living in, they seem to think all kennelled dogs are laid in some cold urine soaked box. I own and have seen lots of kennels that are cleaner, warmer than some of the shit holes of houses some dogs live in.

    IF, they go out and get employment, absolutely no guarantee they will no matter what our apologists tell us. I've no time for benefit scroungers either, but don't use them as an excuse for flooding the fecking country with immigrants.

    @ Matt, I think you have highlighted possibly the single biggest factor, that being, when someone wants a collie cross they want one then and there, he invariably has them, so they go there. I don't think that alone though would sustain him for 30 plus years, if he was a used car salesman this site alone would have put him out the game. As an aside I recall someone on here with a well bred litter of first crosses from tested parents, not only did they not fly out the door regardless of all the posts lamenting the shortage of such dogs, if I remember correctly the guy had a bit of bother

    I agree with most of what you've posted there mate, but at the end of the day hancock breeds for 1 reason only...money, he doesnt care if his pups are good bad or indifferent as long as they sell, thats his number 1 priority, he's a puppy farmer 1st last and always, I would rather be without a dog for a year or 2 before I would put money in a puppy farmers hand, but thats just me I agree with most of what you've posted there mate, but at the end of the day hancock breeds for 1 reason only...money, he doesnt care if his pups are good bad or indifferent as long as they sell, thats h

    I doubt I would have a Hancock dog now as I do think he has lost his way (if he ever had one) regarding work ethic. I would say his dogs originally seemed to be better than now, or perhaps we see things differently as we age. Hancock is an easy target though, which to be fair is self inflicted and to be honest I doubt he's worried about what is written about him if he bothers even to read it. There's easily as much shit out there bred by real deal dog men from two supposed super dogs, they're just not so easy to spot. I've known guys to change dogs like their underwear, always got a

    I had a first cross from Hancock, got her in 1992, she was sired by the Rufus the red dog which I'm told was a good producer. Anyway, a great wee dog, took all quarry and the best nose I've ever seen in a dog. Skin like a rhino and indestructible feet, work all day most days and never seen her jaded or had any injuries. Could have been the right dog in the right hands at the right time I suppose, or maybe I was just lucky.

    Feck me, I've came to the conclusion on here today I've more in common with Hitler and the Japs than I would ever have thought possible.

    I always found it quite strange when over the years someone who had never had a bit of permission and was of the opinion they were akin to a modern day Robin Hood with the right to go where they pleased taking whatever they wanted suddenly acquired a bit of permission with legal land to hunt, they immediately became worse than any landowner or keeper taking serious offence when someone had the audacity to poach their ground so to speak.

    The ban wouldn't affect any one type of dog. Even pre ban deerhounds and first and second crosses were a rarity up this neck of the woods. I never seen a pure deerhound run but seen a few first crosses and three quarters. The best of the first crosses were the lighter built bitches, most of the dogs were way too big and heavy for all round work. The second crosses were a better prospect with a larger percentage of the litter being more suitable for all round work. The best deerhound blooded dogs seemed to be when the mix of deerhound and greyhound were mated to a good line of lurcher.

    Not only should that scum be deported but their legal team also for having the fecking neck to apply for asylum for them. They're more likely to be more of the same though that consider these actions to be the norm. Then again we have spineless left wing apologists who would probably grant them asylum anyway.

    Wales?, a murdered sheep?, more likely a jilted lover or a crime of passion than a big cat.

    I've been saying it for years, the biggest single danger to our country, our customs and our way of life is the spineless, apologetic cancer within our own countrymen and women.

    Written off at twenty weeks, dear lord. The guy says the pups not timid, wagging it's tail etc, I'd think that pup would come good in the right hands.
  18. mackay
    Take it mate, it'll be fine, I'd prefer it untouched as opposed to having had some nugget ruining it by going at it too early.
  19. mackay
    hopefully not, I'm getting one mainly for lurcher work , the reason I'm not getting a terrier is because they are more trainable Ever considered a border terrier mate?.
  20. mackay
    That's one strong looking pup.

    This could go on forever, ok, if a dog has say six breeds in it's makeup and one of them is saluki then ok you can call it a saluki lurcher, call it anything you want if the truth be told. I might have got the wrong end of the stick but I thought we were talking salukis or dogs that were predominately saluki. To all the guys stating I have a saluki lurcher I'd ask how much saluki is in there?. What I will say is this, the more saluki in the mix the less likely it is to be a lurcher in my eyes.

    @ Dodger, I never said they could only run in wide open spaces, if you actually read what I've said, it was in fact they were probably the best dogs for wide open spaces. Can they run in smaller fields, woods etc?, of course they can, just as I think a saluki is the best dog suited to wide open spaces I think other dogs are more suited to other terrain. On the point of being a lurcher, they aren't, simple as, or perhaps my idea of a lurcher differs from other folks. I've seen lots of saluki blooded dogs catch a wide variety of quarry, don't make them lurchers. I'd think most genuine saluk

    try getting out abit more try getting out abit more try getting out abit more Ok mate, never thought of that.

    Independent?, free thinking? a nice way of saying a wayward disobedient bstard. No one can dispute they're the top of the bill when coursing in wide open spaces, but for every other job of work there's better options. I've yet to see a saluki saturated dog worthy of the title lurcher.
  25. mackay
    Depends on the vet. Several options, he could say he found it running the streets, felt sorry for it and took it off a junkie, vaccinate it himself.
