  1. **sorry for the double post** I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

  3. Evening all, I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others. Go stead, oshea
  4. Just got this stunning little bitch, nearly 12 months old, Deerhound x Bedie grey. I used to go out with my dad's Lurchers when I was a kid but I'm a female in my 30's now and struggling to get back into the swing of things. I'd love to have this girl knocking down bunnies but I just don't know where to start, I've barely seen a rabbit or and other quarry since I moved here. Any of you experts in my area fancy giving me some advice/practical experience (hunting related only)
  5. Some of you may remember back in March 21 I had my bitch spayed and a lump removed from her teats. Another lump has formed and after having a biopsy the result is that it's deffo cancer. ? Vet says we're looking at about a grand to treat/remove it with no guarantee of success. She will be 12 in about 6 weeks. I'm monitoring the size and if it's growing quickly it's gonna be a PTS scenario but I'm of the mind to see how she goes over the summer and let her get some sun on her back and then PTS, obviously if she's feeling it I'll do the deed sooner. f***ing dogs eh?
  6. What do folk use for keeping their dogs at the height of cleanliness? Mostly talking about ears here, the amount of gunk that seems to build up resulting in all night head shaking is phenomenal. How cropped are you keeping nails? Best tooth and gum care? Seems not to be a topic but I know everybody is keeping their dogs in top condition
  7. I’m looking for some advice as we recently rescued a whippet lurcher mix. She’s extremely friendly and sociable with dogs and people but is constantly biting and grabbing our older dogs legs, ears and neck. He’s s cavachon and doesn’t really care for playing or interacting with other dogs so he rarely snaps or growls at her when she starts. He’ll just stand there looking at us or try to run away. She’s never been aggressive towards him and regularly try’s to protect him if other dogs get rough with him. However she’s constantly biting at him when he starts barking or when’s she too excited. We

  9. Hello to all. I would like some help with our lurchers coat. Luna is 3 this year, her Mum was a Border Collie x Whippet (merle) her Dad a Whippet x Greyhound (Non-Merle). I think she has the harlequin merle modifier gene, I don't think she is double merle, her Dad was not cryptic as far as we can tell. She has no helth issues eyesight excellent and her hearing is as selective as any lurcher. She is a stunning wee dog, very unique markings, great temperament. Any help appreciated.
  10. Help Required as to ancestry /history of my saluki /Greyhound. I have just lost my dog of a lifetime to cancer, she was 11/12 yrs old.I am truly heartbroken. I'm not a hunter,but have always loved sight hounds in particular salukis. My dog Fern was a very distinguishable sighthound ,her colouring alone a mutated dilute. Was quite a show stopper. I'd have people literally stopping cars to ask what she was as she held herself well and looked awesome. She was Steel and tan with a white butterfly on chest. White tips on feet. Fur like velvet and shone. A glamourou

  17. Having recently acquired a pup of 10 months old a little saluki collie hound 22tts and gained her trust and got her recall spot over the last number of weeks I decided to try her lamping. The first night couldn't have been better condition wise, high wind heavy cloud cover and no moon. Having tried implement some of David Sleights techniques into her training and being unsuccessful I said what the hell and took her out on her own. Kicked two squatters (bare in mind she has never seen a rabbit) out of the grass for her but she just seemed to be unaware of the rabbit and was completely oblivious

  21. I have two mk1 boxes that need fixing. Does anyone know who still does this?
  22. Just starting to get ready for my first season with the dog and it he started crying a lot for no apparent reason which then got a lot worse very quickly. He's currently on anti inflammatories and pain killers (prescribed by vet) and just waiting to see how if his condition changes this week. If not it's €500 for a CAT scan at a specialist to see what it is. Vet says it's either a muscular injury or a hernia (somewhere in his neck). The other day he and the whippet decided to running jump off a 3m wall for some reason which may or may not be related (was fine for a few days after).
  23. Haven't been on here in ages, just thought I'd share a few recent pictures of my pup Simba as he approaching his 1st birthday, he's all stripped out for the summer and showing my plenty of promise of what's to come this season. He's just touching on 26tts now, bigger than I expected seeing as dam and sire were 24.5 and 24tts respectively. He's had a handful of rabbits on the lamp end of season to get an idea of what the game is about and has no trouble picking them up, he's already used his size to his advantage a couple of times and keeping the freezer full too. Really happy with him so far e
