  1. Bloody hell, they bring back some memories. Not ridden for s while, used to be quite competitive and just built up a Yeti frame, can't wait to get out on it
  2. How old is your lurcher? Any chance of putting a pic up please
  3. I've got a Czech import bitch that I had been thinking about breeding a litter from. She's five now. Think there's a lot going for the cross
  4. Unfortunately this one is no longer with me but from my limited experience I'd say the gwp offers a lot more than the rabbiting I did with mine
  5. First cross gwp/greyhound. Or were you talking about the Bitch holding the lead? She was just cross
  6. Sounds like your typical headcase shepherd still easier to live with than a Mal though I've known quite a few Eastern European shepherds that were seriously dog aggressive, wouldn't say you've failed her just the way she's wired. Atb with her pal So I'm not the only one then haha, that's nice to know. Just out of interest, do you think the e-collar is the way to go or any other suggestions, cheers
  7. Nowadays their mainly schutzhund and IPO sport dogs but that depends on which bloodlines you go for. If you Google 'pohranicni stratze' or Czech border patrol then loads of information comes up some of which is romantic bollocks but there's other interesting stuff especially on Alpinek9 forum and DDR Legends
  8. Thank you, I have to admit to preferring black and tans or the reverse mask dogs to even the dark sables but I like the dogs in my bitches lines so was happy when I was given the opportunity to take one from her litter. Temperament wise she is quite prey driven as expected from a 5th bloodline dog but she settles well in the house around my kids (aged 5 and 7) and there friends. She is naturally protective of us and our property. I haven't done man work with her but her search work for an article or person is relentless. Downsides to her is that she is very dog aggressive to the point that I'
  9. Just a couple of pics for comparison. This is my working line GSD from the Czech republic. she's another 23tts and 33kgs in weight and will be 2 at the end of april
  10. Sweet Jesus, they say dogs look like there owners ... N that's one ugly dog lolJust kidding mate, he's not THAT ugly I'm lucky it isn't my dog thenWhat breed is it mate ? It's a fair old lump, I just dunno what a dog like that would be for. If for protection id rather a nice fit type shepherd dog personally , altho I've never seen what one like that can do! is that a boerbol x ken ?Nope it's a pug but socks makes it look big
  11. Not much more to add to what the lads have said above, other than a big thank you to socks and for the opportunity to join in on this job and for meeting a few cracking lads off this forum. It's been a steep learning curve for me, and I hope I haven't held up proceedings too much.
  12. You'll be the first to know Flynndog, but I've got a feeling that this one is a keeper, still undecided about the rat gun though
  13. Please don't bull me up Plucky. At best I could be described as an amateur at this game, with dogs that most wouldn't give kennel space to although I'm not a bad shot with an air rifle. I can't be lumped in with the likes of socks who make a living from this sort of thing
  14. Thanks again for your positive comments Random and Rez. I'll order some H+N and JSBs, none of the local shops I've found stock .20s and I'll post the results when I get the rapid back
  15. Thanks Rez, never had a .20 so I think that will need a bit of practice and I'll have a look at the rapid forum as recommended. The rifle has gone back to the dealer to be sorted so hopefully I'll have it back by next weekend. Can you recommend a brand of pellet to try, I normally use AA Diablo but I dont think they do them in this flavour. Just need to decide wether to keep the rat gun now
  16. Well after nearly two years without an air rifle I finally took the plunge and found a mk1 rapid in .20. Never had a rapid before but always thought I would one day. Anyway with the help of Treehands, got the 1st magazine loaded and a couple of minutes later it was empty again and I had a big smile on my face. Unfortunately there is a leak somewhere so all the air escaped over night so it's gone back from whence it came to be sorted so I'll have to wait a bit longer to have a proper play but I'm sure it will live up to expectations.
  17. f**k off you scouse twat ....... Are you feeling a bit tense taffy? I'm sorry it's not sheep farming country round my way but when you go back to work tomorrow you will see a 40 acre leek field opposite the industrial estate to make you feel right at home.. Thanks again, looking forward for next week, see if you can get twin town on you tube in the hotel tonight
  18. I'd just like to say thank you to Socks for the two days of work I've just had with him. It's been great to put a face to the name and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. If there is ever anything I can help you with just shout. Top man and thanks sgain
