    When we was kids we would be out from early morning tramping the woods, I remember a group of us leaving the site and walking the woods near Belvoir castle, we had been looking for" kaney yoras"phesant eggs along the Heage rows to take home, once we had anufe we walked the woods mucking about as all kids do, we came across a keeper's shed that had a few nasty looking traps, we told our mams, dad's when we got home and forgot about them, we moved few days later and traps were in the scrap on the dray. Atb 

    we found some gintraps in a rabbit sett when we were kids we chucked them in the river.

    not having a pop here, its obviously the farming/peddling alot of people don't like, also believe he sourced good breeding stock in the past now he just takes what greys he can

    I am sure you right about the farming thing, I don't like that, dogs aren't like sheep or chickens, they crave human contact and thrive better when they get it, some moan about breading from non working stock, but f1 colly crosses or any cross bred from a greyhound bitch likely only has one working parent at best who ever breads it, how many litters do they breed? what happens to the bitches when there done? and who buys em all? as has been said before you get what it says on the tin, and the pup in the thread im'e sure will be spot on, intensive farming gets loads of stick and rightly so, it s all down to conscience.

  3. saluki lurchers on the whole don't need much  improvement to do what there bred for, ,butt for certain areas, and added to a strait saluki grey it will enhance durability,  and on the other hand improve the recovery of the beddy cross for the larger rabbit on open ground,  in the early days this was what the addition of saluki was for, as most of the early crosses were with lurchers, rather than greyhounds, the bitch in the photo came to me from the leictershire area and was supposed to be bred down from my original seventy's dogs, with the beddy clearly visible, but  sadly she was very average for what I wanted but made a friend a very good lamping bitch.
