    I think I would be to ashamed/dissapointed/horrified, etc, at my dog killing a ferret, to put up a post on a hunting site about it........ Cheers.

    My daughter bought me an E-reader for Xmas. Now, I'm an old tradistionalist, but this thing is great !!! First book I read on it was Jack Londons "Call of the wild", perhaps the best dog book ever ! Theres pleanty more books built into it, but I will figure out how to download from the pc ! Cheers.

    Genuine question, mate; what was the reasoning for that cross ? I make it 1/8 Whippet, 1/8 Beddy and 3/4 Foxhound. Did you have a special purpose in mind ? Cheers.

    Allready a big post on the subject, mate; http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/224497-how-many-dogs-do-you-own/ Cheers.

    It's still a puppy ! Been started to soon by the sounds of it. Probably frustrated chasing rabbits it can't catch, so it's opening up! Give the dog a chance; back to basics and try her again in September. Cheers.

    Bit of a strange thread, but.....I've got a Beddy/Grey x Deer/Grey-Whippet/Grey, but I don't call her a Beddy, (or any other) X, just a Lurcher. I also have a first X Deer/Grey, and I call her a Deer X ! I suppose I would call a dog a Bull X, if it only had Bull and Grey in it; any more breeds in the cross then it's a Lurcher ! Cheers.

    There are dogs owned by lads, (and lasses) all over the UK and Ireland, lads who wouldn't know how to turn a computer on, let alone come on here bigging their dogs up !! These dogs may not get matched or enter competitions or get their pics put up on hunting sites; but boy, can some of them do the job !! So the question seems a bit irrevalant ! Who knows where the best dogs are from....as some of the best dogs are seen by very few people, and talked about by even fewer !! Cheers.

    It would certaimly put stamina into the Greyhound, but I'd prefer 1/4 Hound 3/4 Grey. Cheers.

    BULL !!!! Are you trying to spoil my holidays ?? LOL !!! Cheers, And a happy new year !

    Tell you what, Davey, Let me use your dog over Delta, and I'll gift you a pup when Lima gets mated ! LOL ! I don't believe in all this breeding pups for money, "IF" I have any pups, they'll be gifted to friends, family and lads like yourself !! Cheers, and a happy new year !!

    You can never be sure, but I'd go for Beddy/Grey in there !!, good luck whith her !! Cheers.

    Ok, maybe this should be in the "Hunting" section, but the Lurchers WERE there ! LOL ! We had a run over to Otterburn fot the Borders Boxing Day Meet; Master with Hounds; Hot toddys all round !!; Santa arriving; Handing presents out to all the local kids; Lurchers meeting the Hounds; Terrier men awaiting the off; A cold, dry morning with a good turnout ! Cheers.

    I can't understand why the government doesn't allow us to have whatever plate we want, within reason. It could be a great money spinner for them; just imagine if they let you make up your own plate for, say, £500; loads would do it ! My pal in the 'states has "crazyhorse" as his plate, it's registered to his car, just the same as abc123 would be here !! I'm not sure if they would allow "OWLDFART" as a plate for me, though !! LOL !! Cheers.

    It hasn't gone wrong, Bob, We are still breeding and working some top class Lurchers ! There will allways be people who keep the game going; just as there are people who have kept the Non-Peds going since the haydays of racing. Cheers.

    LOL !! It was all daytime stuff back then hares and deer, I hadn't discovered lamping then ! Now it's just the humble rabbit ! Cheers.

    My mate Kevin, from Benton , went out with Ron for a run and had his dog "Brin" with hin. Brin was one of the best dogs I've seen, did the "four tricks" and was mustard on daytime hares, but he came back full of praise for the "Assasin ", so he must have been some dog !! Cheers.

    Bill, I did think the Saluki was a bit straight in the rear leg, but he was a typical example of the Beduin Salukis that he was running with back then He had endless stamina, but was the most "untractable" dog I have ever owned ! LOL ! Cheers.

    If you think my reply was patronising, I'm sorry for that, it wasn't meant to be. It was meant to be a straight answer, and I think it answered your question. Cheers.

    And I can also remember the "Assasin", "Widdrington Train", and a few other dogs back in them old days ! They wern't racers, but boy, could they do a hare !! And there was a lad up your way who had "Johns Rocket" and my old mate "Big Sixer" who had "Tiger Bay" ! Two tremendous Scratch Dogs ! Cheers. Now we are talking dogs...The assassin was a lurcher, half brother to my old bitch Bes owned by Ron Murray, he was half deerhound/greyhound out of Dukes big Blue dog in Bedlington, and Watsons (from the paper shop in Bedlington) lurcher, thought to be a collie cross..the assassin was the

    Many years ago, I was offered an old Humber for £10, the reg was RH 21, my initials and age, at the time. I turned it down, how I wish I hadn't !! Cheers.
