You'll get supporters and detractors of both types ! I suppose it depends on the individual dog, (and handler). I've seen some tremendous working Whippets, and also some useless ones ! The same goes for Lurchers, some good, some bad. I've owned both Whippets and Lurchers, and the choice is usualy dictated by the quarry I wish to run. Cheers.

A dog may be the only company the old dear has !! I would hate for the PC police to put an age limit for owning a dog ! Cheers.

Isn't it a bit pointless putting up posts about him, when you know they are going to be locked or removed ? Instead of saying "Whin", just use his new user name, and no one will be any the wiser !! LOL !! Cheers.

I can't believe people are defending this guy !! It doesn't matter if there is one hours, one days or one weeks worth of shit there.......Who in their right mind would put up pics advertising a dog standing in piles of its own shit !! How difficult can it be to clean it out ? Cheers.

Neutered dogs at Lurcher shows

If you give a bitch the close inspection that ANY dog in a show ring deserves, you will feel the spaying scar. Cheers. -
Unfortunately not. Cheers.

Neutered dogs at Lurcher shows

The KC state a dog has to have two decended testicles,or will be disqualified. A lot of Lurcher judges check for this, including myself, but I've never seen a dog disqualified at a Lurcher show for not being "complete"! If a dog had everything else going for it, and was, in my opinion, the best in the ring, then I would pick it. I there were two dogs that I couldn't realy split, then a "complete" dog would win over a dog that wsn't "complete".Having only one, or no testicles, dosen't, in my mind affect a dogs working ability, in fact, one of the best dogs around just now had his un-decended te -
Male Harris Hawk missing since Tuesday 7th Feb. Last seen between Walbottle and Lemington, Newcastle area. Has blue leg ring, bell and flourescent, short jesses. Any info, please PM me. Cheers.

What are you guys on ??? "apart from the shit the run looks clean" !!! The run is NOT clean...it's full of shit !!! If the guy has time to take photos and put an ad up, surely he has time to clean the shit up ???? Cheers.

What sort of person would put pics like that up where people can see them ? And if that's one days shit for a seven month pup, I'd like to see what it's getting fed !! More like a weeks worth ! A fcuking disgrace... no wonder Lurcher owners get a bad name !! Cheers.

What difference does the colour of a dogs nose Make ????? Cheers.

That would be 3/8 Beddy - 5/8 Greyhound, wouldn't it ? Sounds good to me !! Cheers.

I remember when Lurcher racing was some thing for working Lurchers to do in the summer months, and wasn't taken to seriously; but now it seems there are purpouse bred "Lurchers", for racing only, and never actualy see any work, These dogs seem, in the main, to be Non-Ped Whippets and unregistered Greyhounds. If people want to take it so seriously, why not race these dogs, out of traps, against their peers, at organised Whippet or Greyhound tracks ? Cheers.

At the Whippet Racing Clubs that I attend, all the workers and organisers, (handicapper, trap man, starter, judges, etc.), run their dogs !! If they didn't the clubs wouldn't exist !! Racing isn't like showing, it's not one mans opinion on what is the prettiest dog ! It's the fastest dog on the day, no matter WHO owns it. Cheers.

Doe's it matter ? Someone will come on and say the dog "jacked", no matter how good it was ! If it was the real "Jerry", then it was a very good dog ! Cheers.
-
To say they have no drive, well, that makes me wonder about the Dobernan you have had. As I keep saying, they SHOULDN'T be in OUR lurcher blood, but they are good dogs in their own right ! Tango and Bruce; Cheers.

Cookie... I was talking about FERRETING, I never mentioned DEER, the more I read your posts, the more I worry !! I will not reply to anything you say from now on...I think you are a wrong 'un !! I may be wrong, but I won't take that chance !! Cheers.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, (to you), in my post; I'm not a ferreter, I don't own ferrets, and my dogs NEVER work with ferrets, even though I enjoy a days ferreting. If I had a dog that could be called of "the hunt in full flight with a simple NO !" Then it wouldn't be in my kennel for long. It's desire, drive and instinct would not be what I wanted in a working dog. Cheers. Why You have out of control dogs do you have any bidablitly in your dogs or does your desire equals unruly dogs. You can have a dog with strong prey drive and instinct but still have total co

Yea Millet, it was the fert's first time out, I'm sure it will improve, but as I replied to Tomo, the post was a bit tongue in cheeck, just to illicit a few replies. Cheers.

Tomo, was the "sleeping ferret" passed on to a "good pet home" ?? LOL !! I know what you mean mate... my post was just a bit "tongue in cheeck"; I've done a bit of ferreting , but like terrier work, I'd rather be walking than digging !! Cheers.
