Yer there's nowt wrong with rabbit hounds but I prefer a dog with a bit more to it an a dog that if the ban was repealed could be used for its original uses

dream on mate never going to happen better off with a rabbit dog lurcher to lurcher nothing wrong with whippet crosses unless you got a small dick

and as for my manhood your old lady never complains

have a job mate i am gay

well in that case keeps away from my man hood lol

@ buster, the greyhound you worked must've been an ex track dog, and a poor one at that. f**k all wrong with a greyhound's brain, stamina, feet or nose. Too many people on here say the same as you, and 99% of em have tried ex track dogs. Normally they'll be well past 4 years of age and will only have known kennel life and after schooling, normally just one run around a track a week. Any dog, however bred, isn't going to be up to much in the field after spending at least 4 years on such a routine. Try working a greyhound that's been brought on like you would a lurcher from a pup, people would soon change their opinion

It was about 4 years old when i got it shaaark tbh, faif play mate i,v not had one from a pup, had her gifted off a lad at the pit who had some champion racing whippets and wanted to use her to put some size on them. I,ll stick to lurchers though mate, i was going to put my DH X GH over her but thought she wouldnt add anything so returned her, atb, buster.

I once worked a pure greyhound, lacked brain, wind, feet, coat, nose, only thing she had going for her was speed, wouldnt thank you for another, i can live with slightly less speed, buster.

she couldn't of been that fast if she didn't have "wind" and had shit feet could she...lol

Why cant a dog be fast and not have wind, i didnt say she was fast over any distance did i ,iam speaking from experience, are you, did you actully see the dog run, no, ffs , buster.

I've got a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 beddy now.

 

His body is like a pure greyhound and when wet (he's rough haired) you can reall see his shape.

 

The Beddy has given him good feet, outstanding nose, great coat, plenty of stamina and he has retained the speed.

 

I fancied the same with collie a while back. Really like the 3/4 greys.

is there any cross u don't fancy ? Lol

 

I've fancied most breeds at some point, i'm quite open minded unlike some on here who are just set on one breed and say all others are shite

I like a few x's, but not bull, saluki, or bedlington lol. But to be honest, that bedlington x you got now does look to have a decent coat. Is it just bedlington x?

[Lampalurcher 47]

I'm the same have 3 running dogs an between them they have saluki bedlington bull deerhound greyhound collie an whippet

[nothernlite 18,260]

i have 3 also and all they have is beddy whippet and greyhound in them and they are not bigger than 21tts and all we rabbit hounds and are great fun and as far as the repeal of the hunting ban :laugh:

[Lampalurcher 47]

I'm not saying its got much chance but we where promised a vote and I for one like to think we will get one at some point an if we all sit here saying there's no chance there will be no chance cos all the antis haven't stopped protesting an using the media it's about time we as a hunting community actually stood up instead off moaning bout the antis an relying on the CA or BASC which honestly are only after protecting shooting

I think you're right about the ban mate, can never see a repeal happening. A quick question for you mate, as I see you obviously like and own bedlington x's, I've not had much to do with them really,mainly due to the poor coats on the ones I have seen, well, terrible would be a better word than poor, are the majority of them like that these days? I've only ever seen one, about 30 years ago, that had a proper water/weatherproof coat. I don't do many shows etc, so wouldn't see many anyway and don't see hardly any of this x about from my neck of the woods, south wales

[nothernlite 18,260]

shaaark funny you say that this we bitch is the only smooth coated one ive had out of them all over the years and no joking the water runs of the we bitch she can go in the river and when she comes out the water runs of her as if shes covered in oil first ive seen this with my other two are hairy and have a decent enough coat as in keeping then warm the blue rough one has the worst coat of the 3

I believe he is 3/4 grey 1/4 beddy but who knows for sure.

 

His coat is fantastic. Thick and linty underneath, with a long, light, fluffy coat on top.

 

He went for a swim the other day and it was f***ing freezing and within seconds he was dry. He dried quicker than my short haired sal/whip/grey bitch.

 

Cheers

. The dog I mentioned, owned by an old mate I haven't seen for years, was broken coated and like you say, you could literally pour water onto his coat and with a couple of shakes he'd be dry. What put me off them more than coat though was that when we'd be out lamping and he'd miss, you'd be waiting about 10-15 minutes for the f****r to come back, and needless to say, we wouldn't see much for a while after lol. Cracking nose on him and a great daytime/ferreting dog, but very headstrong. Are the majority of em that way, or would it be down to the owner? I actually quite like em, but coat and that headstrong/nose characteristics put me off em for years

Mine has got a very good nose and can be very headstrong in the day. Going off on his own to find game etc. But night time is a different story. As soon as the lamp goes off he's running back.

 

I guess this is down to how you bring them on. I didn't train him though. Brought him in as an adult.

[nothernlite 18,260]

Shaaark the blue one just the one i use for lamping just like to take one dog when going out and he took to it like a duck to water realised if he came back he got more runs and that was only after been out twice on the lamp hes so clever its a the other two are great workers the we bitch is so thorough its a pleasure to watch her work The fawn one will go through cover like a terrier but his preydrive is through the roof what he can do for the size of him is unbelevable they can be headstrong when young but as they come on they get better more easier to control The blue one is a very clued up dog works of the other one good to watch

I knew I'd wind a few off the whippet lads up with this but it shows there is so much kennel blindness with the whippet lot they just can't seem to accept a cross is more useful than a pure whippet don't get me wrong whippets can be used for Allsorts but why bother when there's much better suited dogs out there

Sometimes its not a case of whats best bud, I used to think I wouldn,t touch a whippet and now I have one, as you grow older you learn to appreciate different types, different styles, whether its your own dogs or other folks,
