  1. One hell of a breed mate got one my self that I have from 16 weeks old she's now 9 months. Easy to train up just takes time but are still quite puppy like till about 18 months old. All the best mate
  2. If you are looking for this breed a family member who I got bess of has still got one or two pups left for sale if you are still after this breed
  3. Bess is just over 6 months old and is currently standing 21 inches from foot to tip of shoulder
  4. ye I've found out that Bess is 3/4 deerhound 1/4 bull grayhound I believe that's right lol, like I've said this is my very first time owning theses dogs so I'm still learning about the bloods
  5. Thank you for getting back to me, after a bit of research last night into Bess and how she was bred, I've found out that bess's mother is a pure deerhound but her father is a bull x gray hound 1st gen so I'm not 100% sure what that makes Bess as I'm not clued up on working the % out in a dog haha
  6. Thanks mate, to be perfectly honest I think they where or they where more than a bull x but they just seemed to put everything they had into there first run then they where no good after that. I could of been the way they where bred or trained or possibly a bit of both
  7. Thanks mate, she's getting the hang of having long legs lol when she is chasing leafs in the wind haha
  8. Believe it or not she eats like a horse but she is done with padicur every 3 months but I've just changed her food to some of that tails.com website to see what that is like for her Ive owned Deerhoundy,s for over 30 years and they thrive on BARF,at that age they should be rounded,not sharp looking. That's why I've posted this on here for tips as this is the first time I've owned a deerhound, so that's something that I can now look into The reason that I'm going to try out the food from tails.com as it's apparently tailored to your dog. It's only a free trail to see how things go, if it's n

  11. Yeah she's a boney little pup. My plan is to let her run some easy rabbits once she is 12 months old then once she is about 18 - 20 months then to start letting her run the harder bolters. The only problem is that loads of people have different opinions and views at what age to run them so when your new to the running game it's quite hard to make a decision at what point you are going to run your dog lol. I'll be putting up regular updates and pics with bess's progress to make sure I'm doing everything I can to make her a good worker
  12. So last summer I was looking into getting a dog to start working with, I've always used rifles to hunt with so the thorght of using a dog was a strange one to me, a lot of my friends use bull x's which I used to go out with them and watch there dogs run but to me the bull x's they where using looked like there was far too much bull in them as after one run they where no good and just wanted to get back in the van. I was offered one of the pups but after watching there parents working I decided not to get one but at the point the working dog life attached on to me and I was hooked on getting my
  13. He was bred by a goof family friend who has always used dogs for hunting, he was the reason I became interested in lerchers. My plan is to get the pup trained up in recall ect before I even attempt to work him which I won't be doing until he is at least 12 months old
  14. My first though, feet and knuckle. TC I take it that's a good thing haha
  15. It's having my life trying to update a pic through my phone haha bare with me lads I will have the pic up
  16. Thanks Benny, I'll have a look see if I can find that book
  17. Here is flint sorry he is not 9 weeks he is 6 weeks old
  18. I'm trying to figure out how to do that using a mobile haha any tips
  19. Thanks for all the info lads really appreciate it. Like I've said it's a huge learning curve for me as this is the first time I've committed to using a dog to hunt with so no doubt all be asking a few questions in the coming seasons haha.
  20. I would say that sort of hunting area is more suited to terriers than lerchers.
  21. It was somsthing that I read on one of the posts on this site but could not remember if I was specifically to do with this breed mate. Like I said I'm basically a newbie to hunting with dogs haha, always hunted with rifles so this is a big learning curve haha
