Around this area especially Ashington/Bedlington , where both Docherty and Sankey live, deerhound types were the main types for many years and took plenty of hare and roe, a lot of it on rough ground . Some famous dogs any old timer from the area may remember such as “Thor” and “ The Widdrington Train. Still a few about , and when I go to the local whippet tracks my dogs get a lot of attention from the old timers. Cheers.

Mate, what I question is the ACCURACY of the 500 yard slips on lamped rabbits and the 12 minute courses. Lads have said to me they have slipped on 500yard rabbits, but when you pace it out it’s about 150 ! Ask anyone to tell you when 12 minutes is up and time it; they will invariably come up very short. Most people tend to overestimate distance and under estimate time. Of course there are very long slips and courses, I just question the accuracy. Cheers.

I’m just joking mate ! Working deerhound blood is hard to find now but there’s still some about if you do your homework. Ive noticed at the few shows I’ve been to this year that the deerhound types are making a comeback….wether they are worked or not is a different matter. Cheers.

Bit of a dilemma here mate; I made the anology of this forum and beer tents at shows. I spend far too much time on here, but avoid beer tents like the plague! On here you can have a laugh at some of the comments, but being cornered in a beer tent by a total bullshitter isn’t fun at all ! I was once cornered in a beer tent by the biggest bullshitter of all, Whin ! Not a pleasant experience! LOL ! Cheers.

Nothing outrageous about 300yard slips or five minute runs mate. Cheers.
-
I find some of the banter good fun, mate. It could do with more hunting and dog posts I agree, hopefully that will happen when the season gets underway. Yeah, it can be a bit like an on-line dog show beer tent at times, with people making outrageously stupid claims, but that’s all part of the fun ! LOL ! Just enjoy it for what it is or ignore it ! Cheers.

No offence, Bangers mate, a genuine question; If you think things are so bad on here, why are you on all the time ? I enjoy your posts about the birds, but why allways moaning about the site ? Its the middle of summer, mate; none of us, well at least most of us, are hunting. Get more posts up about your birds, allotments, past hunting experiences etc. until the new season starts in a couple of months Cheers.

And end up like the Daywalkers ? Err, no thanks ! LOL ! Cheers.

No, I said non- peds race over 150-200 yards. The usual handicaps are 150, but it won’t make any difference, the top non peds are still accelerating, finishing hard , as we call it at 150 so they will be beating your dog by more at 200. Cheers.
-
I’ll let you know when there is an open race on and I’ll ask a lad I know whose two non-peds are the same age as yours, six, and were without doubt the fastest dogs in the country over 150 yards when they were a bit younger if he will give you a run, and I’m sure Max will race you with his lurcher. Cheers.
-
What are you looking forward to ? Are you going to race a racing dog on the track ? Cheers.

There are times when, even though I know it’s impossible, I might agree with him, when I see the futility of arguing with some people who appear to have less brains than a chimp ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
It’s getting tedious, mate. I don’t know if there’s such a thing as “multiple deja vu”, but it seems I’m giving him the same answers to the same questions over and over again but it isn’t sinking in ! Im going to jot all this down and maybe sometime write a book ; “ Myths Of The Coursing World” will be the working title ! LOL ! Cheers.

Lengths over what , by what ? You say your dogs are faster than non-ped whippet/ greyhounds and greyhounds, I say theyre not. I doubt you’ve ever seen a top non- ped, but I’m sure you’ll say you’ve seen loads. Pointless discussion mate. If your dogs were faster, everyone would be using them for racing….. they don’t, they use the fastest dogs for the job. Please don’t go on about seed, winter wheat, slop, etc. Whippets and greyhounds are racing dogs . Cheers.
-
Do you feed your dogs separately mate ? Ive allways trencher fed my dogs , look at the pics off the pups and deerhound and Doberman, just like fox hounds, they are pack animals and trencher fed. Only time I’d feed them separately is if one needed a special diet, which is very rare. Cheers.

It’s all part of his education. If we don’t pull him up, he will start believing it’s true ! LOL ! Cheers.

Cheers.

mC’s pal with the pup now it’s grown up; Cheers.
-
It’s through my WhatsApp group I got the invitation to Ireland, mate. everyone on there is genuine hunting men, quite unlike on here . Cheers.
-
I love mC like a son, I wouldn’t want to embarrass him, but there’s about 20 lads from UK and Ireland on my WhatsApp group, some of them pals with Gunter , and they have read this nonsense and are convinced mC is on a wind up, or else the big , rough lurcher that killed hundreds of foxes wasn’t quite as good as made out ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
To paraphrase the great Bruce in Enter the Dragon “bones don’t fight back” ! PMSL ! Cheers.
-
Stop moving the goal posts !!!! Of course pups kill pups ! 12 week old pups don’t kill experienced adult lurchers that have killed hundreds of foxes. Stop digging mate, the holes deep enough now ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Deerhound thinking “ I hope this pup doesn’t have my throat out !” Doberman thinking “ f**k going near that pup, it’s already killed the deerhound ! “ Cheers.
-
Stop it, please stop it ! LOL ! A nine week old saluki pup that could kill a grown lurcher ! My sides are hurting with laughing ! Cheers.

The first bitch was around 29” and the other one just over 28” , both around the 75lb mark. Cheers.
