    Whippet lurchers

    I’ve got a few pups left from an accidental mating. I was hoping I wasn’t going to have to advertise them. But a few let downs has led me to this.These pups have wanted for nothing and I will not let them go to just anyone and be passed about from pillar to post. The sire is a cracking little ferreting dog the bitch is from racing whippet lines. I haven’t really done a great deal with her and was hoping to get her out this year but having the pups had stopped that totally. They’ve been raised indoors around kids and a really noisey house and there coming along great. My main priority is to get them a decent home. Where they can live out there days having a happy life,There is only bitches left now. Anyone interested will need a few people on here to vouch for them. I’m eve. prepared to take them back if it doesn’t work out. But I hope it doesn’t come to that. I can send pictures over on watts app if there’s genuine interest. Both parents are from working stock. If rabbits are your quarry then these will be ideal. 

    The last pic is the dams mother which is a cracking ferreting dog. 

    Sire is the tan 21 TTS 

    dam is 19 TTS

  18. This Should Be In Every School

    in General Talk

    I'm naturally cynical, so I checked out some of the headteacher's claims. Hs school does not get the best results in the area. Four schools in the area are considered by Ofsted to be 'outstanding'. Fairclough's school is judged 'good'. Two fifths of pupils get free school meals according to Ofsted not two thirds as Fairclough stated. According to the Ofsted report, clay pigeon shooting takes place 'occasionally'. ( When the cameras are there?)

    The guy struck me as a poser. I hope when he grows up he'll look back at himself running round on a quad ( which he presumably bought himself from school funds) whilst pretending to be Atilla the Hun and be very embarrassed.

    The first rule of shooting safety you should teach a kid is to NEVER point a gun at anybody. Yet the clip starts off with the viewer looking down the end of a twelve bore. I would hope too that if my kid was taken fishing by his school he would wear a buoyancy jacket. A lot of excited kids and deep water can quickly end in disaster. That isn't wrapping children in cotton wool, it's just common sense.

  20. Workers Out Of Non Workers

    Nothing to do with dogs but I raced pigeons quite successfully for 20 years and it wasn't always the best racers that breed the best racers. Some birds would just breed winners but not win much themselves. I'd say it's the same for dogs. Imo

    ive bred and raced pigeons for years same as you Stevo and I agree with you I've hard birds breed me winners and they can't fly a yard but there's obviously something in side that pigeon that's right for breeding I'm always one to try new things out thing is you can miss a generation or two and still get somethin decent it all the time I think from my own experience it can be the same with dogs don't get me wrong I'm all for best to best but it doesn't always mean you get the best at some dogs you turn the tempo up and you start to see floors in them same as pigeons especially when your calling for long distance in certain winds
    Agree with you there mate.
