Bosun11 537 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm a point and slip merchant... Well I am when lamping in company and they bring thier dog. Don't see any problem, 'different days (or nights) call for different ways'. I have know many purists to this way of running dogs and most have done very well... Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Point and slip to me is your saluki fen boys. Buy a dog from proven lines, feed and walk it. Get it fit and yer ready to go. A true lurcherman has a well trained hunting machine equivalent to your SLR camera. Your fen boy has a simple point and shoot tesco disposable. 1 Quote Link to post

baw 4,360 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Pmsl rio, of course I do. We owe a lot to the fen boys. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have all these great saluki crosses. But most of all we wouldn't have all those cracking DVDs to watch. Before I saw them a thought a 7 out of 7, 11 minute chases dog was a myth.... Quote Link to post

RossM 7,979 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have always taken the "point and slip" term to be a derogitary term towards ares holes that keep a dog in a kennel 22 hours a day, give it no training and end up with a wreckless, pent up lunatic on the end of a slip . .. . . which he can point and slip regardless of terrain, conditions or location . . . . . then return it to its kennel and sit and masturbate about its efforts over the internet. :laugh: Quote Link to post
Penda 3,228 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 The way i see it if your mooching somewhere you shoukldnt be with your lurcher it isnt a clever thing to have your dog working off the lead i walk alot of public footpaths and if youve got your dog on the lead it doesnt look as bad as when youve got your dog off bounding across a field i know some people do have there dogs under control but it does happen with some dogs,another reason is because you can pick your slips and not give your dogs silly runs i could write a book about the amount of times in the past ive had dogs chase quarry a good way away miss it and not noticed one abit easier and abit closer to run 1 Quote Link to post
