  1. I really miss my old jill when it was hot she would swim in the kids paddling pool do a couple of lengths hop out and roll around then walk off with the dog following he knew who made the rabbits run
  2. Arrr I see edited by Lilias not written I got you lpd.
  3. Yer I know what you mean sounds like the words of a dog peddler. Might of been one that once told me that ..
  4. Stunning dogs he produces, a mates dog has some black raven in him. By all counts a very handy dog in his day.
  5. Arrr thanks for the correction Gilbey. So what did Colonel Hancock do to help Dave, I always thought he ment the lurcher farmer when speaking to him lol.
  6. I think Hancock later teamed up with Dave Platts to help with his deer hound revival Its quite incestuous the dog world.
  7. Didn't his line die off, as too much inbreeding and not out crossing, if I heard that right.
  8. Could be mate, also said to breed them young to stretch hips etc to make for easier litters later if bred from again. Makes um run better after a litter ?
  9. Om sure I was told or read some where that when using collie blood the greyhound should always be the sire. It may have been Lilias Rider Haggard in his book, when describing Smithfield breeding. That old book set the bar for all others that followed imo.
  10. With regards to the question of whether the sire or dam has most influence on the litter: I remember reading several times about people feeling that the dam has the most influence simply because of the fact that she's raised them it's not just food that comes from mothers milk so I would say the bitch would have the most influence
  11. Yep he is that, I try to avoid his kit I did buy a bucket the other week and discovered it was one of his, pissed me right off.
  12. Thanks Fred, and good luck with the lamping, I need to pick myself up another lamp but I'm not a fan of these led ones.
  13. I met him before he started Korda and took an instant dislike to him thought he was a weasel
  14. So 2 1/8ths could produce a yapper do you think it comes from the beddy, I thought it was a nervous thing when on larger quarry. Cheers
  15. I could never stop my old lurcher once the red mist came down, did she bark while chasing? Sorry for all the questions mate but I'm heading the same way not pure whippet but a lot of whippet blood in the mix so to speak.
  16. Looking forward to seeing how she does on the lamp, if I remember some of your posts she was a squirrel assassin and was climbing trees in order to get them. Or I have you mixed up with someone else of here. Did she hit wire mate ?
  17. Has she been out on the lamp yet fred90?
  18. Something someone once told me was always put speed over the bitch, as in grey over collie for instance not the other way round
  19. How did that work out for you tatsblisters, did you get what you were looking for ?
  20. Summary the right pup meets the right owner then a legend is born. But rarely repeated making sense now
  21. Glad to see your up and out of your day bed lpd
  22. I think he wrote using fact ,fiction and fantasy and when all put together created some great reads.
  23. I thought perhaps he was a physics teacher or something and got the title from that.
