Just so you know, mate, I wasnt doubting that you were just saying they were Minshaw.

 

There was someone in chat the other week who had a 1/2 bull 1/2 grey or 3/4 - 1/4 whatever it was..... anyway, he was claiming that was minshaw although it was just a bull X grey :laugh:

 

There used to be page loads of pictures on this site all to do with minshaw dog's. It's just a shame that the breed is now fading out. I think there's still a few half crosses etc.. kicking around

 

if only we knew how Vic bred the dog's, the line could maybe be recreated

My friends dad owned Bulpa and he has the litter brother to yours called Jack who is 10 years old on the 25th June.

Two dogs out of the same litter turned out almost identical in size and shape 27/28 inchs in height aprox 70/ pound in weight.Line bred minshaw dogs.

 

Dog number 1: started off on rabbits at about 8 months old caught around 100 rabbits at a year old. Took his 1st roe deer at 1 year old and a further 5 or 6 by 18 month old, gradually eased into hares at 1 year old killed about 20 hares by about 18 month old.

 

Dog number 2:started off a little later at 12 months old kills about 10 rabbits then kills mainly hares till about 18 months old.

 

Both dogs could kill a bag full of rabbits with ease and regulary did, both could kill hares good but dog number 2 excelled on hares and seemed to pick them up easier than dog number 1.

Both dogs could take a roe deer, but dog number 1 could take them with ease and dog number 2 always seemed to make harder work of them.

To sum it up dog number 1 excelled on deer and took them with ease but seemed to make a little harder work with hares.Dog number 2 excelled on hares but always seemed to make hard work of deer.

The only differance in the way these dogs ran where dog number 1 ran slightly to the side allowing his prey to see him, dog number 2 ran directly behind his prey so they couldnt see him.

 

The conclusion i came to was:

hares a harder to catch when they can see the dog from the side because they avoid the strike by turning a lot more, deer panic more when they see a dog from the side and make fatal mistakes.

hares are easier to catch when a dog runs directly behind them and carnt see the dog so unable to see the strike coming, deer dont panic as much when a dog runs directly behind them because they carnt see them and turn more making them a lot harder to catch.
