    Its funny because I remember that thread about beddyxwhippets taking fallow regular, which started it all, and I remember expressing disbelief. I got an invite and went to see for myself!

    Ive got a few favourites! There was a time when I worked abut 2 days a week, spent the rest of the time hunting all over the country and arguing on THL in the evenings. So many decent lads used to be on here. After every moon down, the posts would be coming thick and fast! For the record, i'm an anti-social c**t and don't favour anyone, but if any of the northerners want to come down and run socks bunnys, i'll adjudicate lol. For the record, I've run both, and rabbits in most countries of the U.K. There are easy and hard rabbits everywhere, depends on population levels and

    You're bang on mate. This place is a shadow of its former self. Even madder is to think back to before the ban, when the posts were all about 'went out today and knocked this smart roe buck over'.

    To be fair you sound like EXACTLY the kind of person who should get a running dog, and I hope you find the right bitch. Take your time, there are a lot of idiots out there.

    I don't think we should be discussing another mans dog. End of. If he wants to discuss it, he will.

    That's a proper friend. Good on you Phil.

    The grandmother looks very smart. Has a similar look to Wales1234 blue bitch.

    Yer it was clear, bit bright, very still and very cold. . . . oh and fog kept rolling in lol. Rolled into bed about 3am. Good night though.

    Its funny how many farmers I meet say, they wouldn't and if folks just asked! So its funny how you can drop lucky. Fail that, become a farmer, worked for me! Bit of a roundabout way of doing it though.

    That's good news! Been trying to pm you, but your inbox is full. After your number to pick your brains.

    Best two rabbiting dogs I've owned have been a whippet and a half x bull/grey. So that shows something!
  12. SheepChaser
    What do you hunt with them and how? I.E flush to rifle / shotgun? Bring to bay? Or pull down?

    He's a bloody good man to see. I trust his opinion, and respect his work. Been talking to him, and he reckons if I get the old bitch properly rested, even with the ligament totally severed, and the foot remaining flat, if I build her back up to fitness and health properly and keep the nails on that foot short, she hopefully will eventually run well enough. Whether it would be well enough to run as she usually does and catch her quarry like normal, we shall see. Fingers crossed.

    Old bitch is just climbing the walls already lol. Young bitch (I think) looks a bit brighter, she's still a funny shape, swollen, and walks like she's been hit by a bus lol. But she's hard as nails.
  15. SheepChaser
    Aye, fingers crossed. This vet knows the score though! But the young bitch is by far the toughest dog I've owned. She didn't make a sound when she smashed herself and hits everything full tilt with no care for her safety. Stressful to say the least.

    Well, Ive had a moan to everyone else, so I might as well have a moan on here, like old times. Had both the dogs at the vet / bone man this morning, hour and a bit drive each way, down to Uxbridge outside London, but worth it to see a top guy. Always reassuring when most of the dogs in the waiting room are running dogs. Anyway, both bitches have had a fairly hard few weeks, both have really been pleasing me. They are quite different dogs, they can do a lot of the same things, but have their own specialities, which they were nailing. As usual, pride comes before a fall. Old bitch

    Yes he’s great, he’s a vet and a bone man, I’ve used him for years and used to drive down from wales. He’s helped me a lot over the time and is very realistic and understanding. He’s meant to be one of the top greyhound vets in the country.
  18. SheepChaser
    I genuinely don’t believe it’s like the fields I’m thinking of. They crunch as you walk over them, and even the collie regularly get laid of by them. Yet to see a lurcher have one run across them and then get another run. Daniel d in Uxbridge.
  19. SheepChaser
    It can’t be like the few fields up here we are talking about ken. Ive seen a few dogs try to have a spin across them and all of the dogs have ended up slashed to ribbons. lots of fields just have a bit and they are ok, I run them a lot, but the bad ones I just steer well clear of now! But I’ll happily come down, would be good to see you. Both dogs currently in sick bay, old dog has damaged something in a back leg and young bitch jumped off the top of a 20foot plus quarry last night after something and has given her self a fair knock! Bone man Friday!

    Unfortunatly they make the most noise often. Live and let live though I guess. They probably catch a lot more than I do as well lol.
  21. SheepChaser
    That’s very very true of course. And I apologise if I’ve offended. But you know what I mean. Dog lads get a lot of stick down here because of the actions of some folk. It’s all just a massive hassle to be fair. So I just keep myself to myself work hard and run my dogs for relaxation and pleasure, they wouldn’t please most serious folk but they keep me happy enough. Too wet to drive these days anyhow!
  22. SheepChaser
    Its been an interesting learning curve for me mate. I come from the land of the small fields and lots of forest. And rough hills.
  23. SheepChaser
    I don’t go out with anyone else here. For fairly good reason. This is the land of the field driving, fence smashing, throwing saluki out the window, lad. Im just a humble shepherd, who’s lucky enough to have a bunch of permission and quite likes wandering about at night.
  24. SheepChaser
    All I want to avoid is ending up with something too whippety. I want a dog with the speed and wind to catch up with what she’s slipped on and on some big land, average field size is 100 acres here. But also something with the bone, strength and weight to look after itself.
  25. SheepChaser
    I think I remember you talking about her.
