I bet it hurt to have that one done. I wouldn't want to the bloke who was, um ... well, intimate with that woman. Bizzare.

I think your avatar pretty much sums up my opinion on this one ... Me being an immigrant an all ....

Stork, nice pics

Not necessarily for hunting, but just a countryside mooch. Spring is nice 'cause everything is growing. Summer is good 'cause it's not cold (usually). Autumn ranks pretty high with the nice colours. But for me, I have to say it's winter. Just back from a windy walk with the grey. I like to get into the woods, and it's easiest in the winter when you can go to places that are too overgrown otherwise. The sound of roaring wind and all the tree branches clacking together, the vibrant greens of the moss, the lack of designer dogs all makes for a really refreshing mooch. I was nearly crushed by

Cor he's lovely! Send him over my way if you get tired of him

Just regarding allergies ... When a grey blows it's kennel coat, you can expect A LOT of fur rolling round the floors. Mine has only just started to molt hers out, so I use a hound glove every day - it's got rubber bumps on one side and a polish thingy on the other. It's my new obsession, I'm addicted to making her all shiney I'd say you might want to get spend a bit of time around other greys if you can, to see if there's any allergic reaction, but after the initial molt you should be ok with regular grooming. Oh and tell your wife whippets are bed hogs who will crawl under the duve

having a litter tends to do that takes more out of some than others. Sorry but she shouldn't be that thin, litter or not. Just my opinion tho.

I like to watch them all interact for a while. I usually go for the middle of the road: not the sulky one, not the over boisterous one. I like them to show an interest in me and not be skittish, but I also don't like them to be all over the show and manic. Looks comes second to all that, but I really do like a dog with obvious potential for lots of leg.

Help required with 11month Patterdale.
lurchergrrl replied to cambridge's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
That's a load of bullocks Why do people think castration changes anything? Wait till close to your bitch's season so he's a bit older, then have him done. It won't change his hunting drive one bloody bit, anyone who says differently has old fasioned attitudes imho. -
Gorgeous pup, best of luck with it. That poor bitch looks knackered and thin tho

Whatever she is Daz, she's a real looker

Personally, I don't intend to breed my bitch 'cause I'd worry about every single pup. I'd not want them bred indiscriminately so someone could make a few pounds. I recently saw an advert for "lurcher x dacshound" pups Why the feck would somebody do that? They advertised them as a RARE BREED! Gimme a break! Most of us scoff at the so called DDA - if you ask me there ought to be a dangerous humans act. It's such a shame that so many people stick their fingers in the proverbial pie before washing their hands.

My lurcher used to carry them by the back and drop them, live, at my feet. My Greyhound rips their heads off and eats them on the spot New lurcher pup is already retrieving things nicely for me tho ... here's hoping she doesn't pick up the Grey's bad habits.

Great news! Lurcher Link works wonders And Jim's a really great guy

My rescue Grey came from an unlicenced track down south. She was turned in at 14 months old and described as a non-chaser. But her ears aren't tattoo'd so I've no further background on her. Just wondered what age greys are normally tattoo'd at, and why wouldn't mine be done? Is it because she's from an unlicenced track? Don't know much about the world of dog racing, so I'm also curious to know what age dogs start running at. Mine happily chases lots of things! Her problem is that she doesn't like strange dogs running with her. But when she's comfortable with other dogs she runs like stink

I have a rescue Grey, so I'll tell you what she's been like. She'd never lived in a house and when she came to me from South Wales she was 14 months old. I crate trained her straight off the bat, keeping the crate in the living room so she could see/hear all the main household action. It's taken her about 5 months to get the hang of things but she's food oriented so learns quickly. I've got three kids under 4. I've drilled into them that they MUST NOT disturb the dog when she's sleeping or eating, as Grey's aren't typically used to being startled and can snap as a result. Being smart

My Nan. She had such a hard, sad life ... but she still found ways to laugh, she was loving and generous with her time, and very patient. I miss her. My Aunty Lynne - great fun, always ready for a laugh, would try just about anything once and she's a proper classy lady to boot. And my Mum, even though we've spent most of our time at odds with each other. I learned her good things, and also learned to forgive all the things about her I didn't like! My stepdad, who instilled an appreciation for the finer things in life. He was interested in just about everything, and also willing to

This reminds me of my ex .... I can't get him to go more than about 12 metres. http://mistux2.com/misgroup/funnies/drunk/...nk_get_home.php

Don't worry Roo, they're only Dunlop wellies. Any man who can't get a grip on his drinking ain't much of a man. Especially when he's got a decent wife and three little babies at home. They can say their wife drives them to drink, but it's nothing more than a pathetic excuse for not having the balls to be a good husband and father. I used to walk my kids past the pub and my son would say 'that's daddy's house' He was 2. What kind of example is that for a kid to grow up with?

I should think if it was a big cat that removed the head, it woud've maybe dragged away the bits it wanted to eat, not just left it all there? I thought the big cat thing was an urban myth. We've got them in Canada, but I have a hard time imagining them lurking in the British countryside.

A Staffordshire Bull Rabbit .... omg I laughed so hard I snorted I picturing you screaming like a girl ... oh feck ... lol lol Can I come over for a holiday at yours? I could use a right good chuckle. That'll keep me snickering for the rest of the night ....

I use the red collars mostly when I turn them out on the fields near me, just so I can see where they are - if they're playing at royal flypast it's easier for me to get the feck out of the way. I turn them off when I go up where the bunnies are tho. My Grey will always come back unless a strange dog turns up and scares her off - but then she hangs about close by and waits till I tell her to come back. That's when the red collar comes in handy. Just wondered if the bunnies could see the red lights like we can. Couple of lads came through a field near my place the other week, saw the collar

Roo, what you said at the beginning goes both ways. I chose to have kids, but so did my ex. And then right after they were born he chose to spend every waking minute at the bloody pub. So picture it: I've no family here, I had just moved to this country, I was totally on my own and the person who made me all those promises morphed into a drunken shit bag. So ya, I booted him out after the twins came. But I don't slag anyone infront of my kids as they're old enough now to understand what I'm talking about and I don't want them to grow up with the morals of a scrubber, lined up for every daytime

That made me laugh out loud ... I actually scrolled back up to see if there were oars in the background somewhere
