  1. Get mine off a mate who's on the rigs; "Rhino" is the trade name. Leather outer, fleece inner, best gloves I've ever had ! Cheers.
  2. Cheers Paul, me and LDR aren't doing as much this season as we should be, but if you fancy a night out, give us a call ! Cheers.
  3. Useless !! Believe me; I bought the full length one at the last Waterloo Cup, and was given the short one; both useless. If the dog twists or the catch hits your leg or another dog or whatever it opens and the dog is off !! Also the spring weakens very quickly and it becomes a liability !! As others have said..... a collar and a piece of nylon, bailing twine, pull-thru cord, eyc, is far better and far cheaper !! Cheers.
  4. Give us a bit more information ! There's been pleanty of dogs with those names ! Where, when, what quarry, what breeding ?? Cheers.
  5. very true....but i hear there is talk of changing the law and as you say it will be to the detrement of all dogs and owners ,muzzled in public etc etc Plus compulsory microchipping, return of Dog Licensing, limit to the number of dogs owned, etc !!! Cheers.
  6. There is no way this represive government will ammend the Dangerous Dogs Act in the FAVOUR of responsible dog owners ! If they do anything, it will be to the DETREMENT of ALL dog owners. Just make sure no one votes Labour next year !! Cheers.
  7. Paid, it was absolutely still, not a breath of wind, and, there was a bit of snow in the air. Artic, the ground was very soft, lots of mud because of all the rain we've had up here, but it will harden up shortly, it's starting to get cold now. Cheers.
  8. LDR and myself ran our 3rd round heat tonight. Dogs & Natives was kind enough to host on his land and judge for us. There wasn't many rabbits about but we managed 9 runs each. Bruce missed his 1st slip, but took 7 from the next 8 slips; Delta was very slow out of the boxes and missed her 1st 3 slips, but found another gear and took 5 from the next 6 slips. Final score was 7 to LDR & Bruce. 5 to Chartpolski & Delta. Well done to Bruce and good luck in the Northern Final, and many thanks to Dogs & Natives for hosting and Judging. Cheers.
  9. Lets face it; fox hunting has not changed one iota !! All the hunts up here just carried on as normal ! The Beagles and Harriers have hunted as usual; the only dog sport to be affected is Hare Coursing. Cheers.
  10. IF the Tories repeal the Hunting Act, and there is no guarantee they will, it won't mean it will be open season for us to run hare, fox, deer, etc, with our lurchers. They are more likely to AMMEND the Act, and Fox Hunts will be licensed and monitored. Hare coursing, if it adressed at all, will also be limited to licensed clubs. I think individuals will still be banned from coursing hares. So I wouldn't pin my hopes on a complete reversal of the ban. Cheers.
  11. There are some tremendous non-ped Whippets around just now, and I'm supprised they aren't used more in Lurcher breeding. I still go to the local Whippet track on a saturday, and to see some of the scratch dogs doing times I would have thought impossible years ago is a great sight to watch. these dogs are heavily Greyhound blooded, but bred down to around 20-40 lb. surely crossed with a good lurcher they should produce decent offspring ? Cheers.
  12. I have a bitch from a genuine 1st x Heartbreak Fell Beddy/ Grey put to a Deer/Grey x Whippet/Grey. She has fell very much to the Beddy/Grey side, and has a good coat and has the Beddy "hardness"; a very good all round bitch; Cheers.
  13. Seen people fishing at St. Peters and the quayside and as far up as Lemington, so there must be a few fish about. Might give it a try. Cheers.
  14. Yes; just make sure you worm the dog regularly. Cheers.
  15. Yeah, Keeps, if she goes 27-28" I'll be happy ! Cheers.
  16. Lima, (the dark brindle), 4 1/2 month, 24 1/2", 45 lb. First cross Deerhound/Greyhound bitch pup; Cheers.
  17. Delta isn't at her fittest after her injury, but there is nothing stopping me running her now. Me and LDR will run our heat at any time convinient to him, and if I'm lucky enough to win, I will run off the Northern Final at any time convinient to SingleHanded. I can run any day of the week, as I'm lucky enough to be retired, and don't have to worry about getting up for work the next day ! LOL ! Cheers.
  18. I'm sure the owner won't mind me showing these pics I took at Duns last year; A Borzoi x Collie; A pure Borzoi; In the U.S. they breed the Borzoi down in size using Whippets, and call them "Windhounds"; Cheers.
  19. Puppies will eat ANYTHING !! You have to have eyes in the back of your head ! Keep everything out of reach and give it a decent size bone to chew on. You are lucky that these foreign bodies appear to be passing thru'; If something gets stuck in there, you are looking at a big vet bill at best, the death of the pup at worst !! Cheers.
  20. How is a dog "harder" than a bitch ???? I've had dogs and bitches, over many years, and seen no evidence of that. Cheers.
  21. Why "no Greyhound X" ?? A Beddy/Grey would seem ideal for what you want. Cheers.
  22. I can't see a farmer being happy about rabbits being released on his land ! After all; farmers have a legal obligation to control the rabbit population ! Cheers.
  23. Oh come on, there is no need for the attitude, it is not causing her any pain so i am not going to pay £100 call out charge for the vet to look at it, i have never seen an injury like this before so was simply asking advice from people that probably HAVE seen injuries like this..............I worried it may open up further, if it does i will take her to the vet in the morning. So many people on here know what products to use, i was only asking for some advise I wasn't giving "attitude"; and a dog of mine has had a very similar injury recently, and I knew what to do; you obviously don
  24. If you are worried about it; don't come on to internet sites asking for advice..... GET IT TO A VET !! Cheers.
