Let me have my 5 minutes of fame, after SheepChaser's thread about breeding from a jacker can reclaim it's rightful place at the top. ?
-
Right, let's change the topic plz, good walk Bangers, see much?
-
That's it mate, don't want to be sickened with a dud so will see how it goes. ?
-
?
-
No, mate, who did you go see? ?
-
Folk are right though, it's getting boring so can we please stop discussing this now and that includes my award winning thread on Saluki's. From now on I'll just keep a watchful eye on what's out and about and go back to taking the piss out of people on the general section. My head has blown a gasket. ?
-
None of lads who I used to hunt with were in to coursing types mate, they're in to their bull crosses tbf.
-
No drama, again just thinking out loud. It's a 26 inch, 8 month old pup. Ideally would like a 8 week old prospect, that's why I've got the thinking cap on mate.
-
That's what I'm hoping to find out mate. I've caught many hares with 3/4 crosses but these should be different level. And that's the million dollar question, finding the right one, there's that many names flying about you don't know what's what. You're taking a gamble aren't you buying a dog off a complete stranger with no ideas of the parents background. I suppose that's the case for other types if you're not in the click but these are expensive types for a lurcher. ?
-
Don't worry Sheepy lad you've got plenty of time to get your threads back at the forefront of THL. ?
-
The dog is under control mate, I'm just thinking out loud of the worst circumstances if I brought in an older pup. Like I said, I'm certain he would be fine bringing in a pup.
-
Loads, no out and out coursing dogs though mate and that's why I want to try one out. I want to see what the thoroughbreds of lurcher world are really like.
-
Fair enough post that one. Did you consider using a coursing bred that's not so closely related to your bitch?
-
Is the Pope a Catholic, course I have fella. ?
-
It's basically like this. ? I want a pup to bring on and it to turn in to a machine that will wipe the floor with any other cross out there at hares and edible game. I'm not asking for the earth am I? ? Forget the Akita and that, it will get sorted. Just get me that flying machine with bags of stamina, boom.
-
That's what I'm saying mate, is there any need to cross back in to pure like some do.
-
Was looking at a thread from years back mate. Hasn't all the hard work alresdy been done in these coursing breds and by going back in to pure you're taking a step back? What I'm saying is you could end up with a dog that performs just like a pure?
-
You think it works mate rather than going coursing bred x coursing bred?
-
Easier said than done regarding dog aggression mate. Speaking of aggression, I haven't given him the opportunity to prove to me how aggressive he really is but you can see as he's got older the signs have been getting worse and worse. I would never let him run over to a dog off the lead, you're just asking for trouble if it does kick off. I'm almost certain he would be fine with a dog in the house reared as a pup, there's a good chance he would be OK with this dog with the right perseverance but there's always a what if. Decisions, decisions. The pup is a lovely d

"Yeah that's Bindy out of Roger who's out of Del who was put back to pure out of Mitchell's Nora." ????
-
Cheers, Fens is right though, if I'm after a pup only i should have just left it when I found out it was 8 months old. Trouble is, without being in the click you don't know when a litter will spring up or if any will be available for that matter. All these names of dogs get thrown about and you're sat there scratting your head like a confused chimp. ?
-
Why would I put the dog to sleep mate, he's a housedog that's all at the end of the day. It is what it is mate, it'll work out someway or another.
-
This morning when I was walking the dog I bumped in to a lad with two lurchers, one was a saluki/greyhound and the other coursing bred. It was only about 4 month old and when I got talking to him he said it's supposed to be off Bulldozer, is he still alive and siring pups like?
-
I don't doubt it mate, it's like any powerful dog, if they trip out they're going to cause a lot of damage. I would never leave any kids alone with the dog mate.
-
You getting another bag grabber then? ? Was it single handed on Netto carrier bags mate or did you run it doubled up? Seriously though, only opinions from those with working dogs please. ?
