  1. Hows your Deer/Grey doing on complete, Vixen ? I put my dogs on it during the summer, (they usualy get BARF), my little bitch did well on it, but my D/G lost condition terribly ! They are back on BARF now. Cheers.
  2. You ACTUALY took a day off work to wait for the postman ?? !! Man, that's sad ! LOL ! Cheers.
  3. What's wrong with them being tools of the trade ? A REAL tradesman buys only the best of tools and looks after them to the best of his ability ! Cheers.
  4. Moscow; (And NO, that's not me in trackies and trainers !! LOL !!)
  5. stick the orginal up cp I carnt find it. Fveck that !! Nobody wants to see a pic of me AND Chipper together !! Put people off their dinners !! LOL !! Cheers.
  6. There you go he was around 12 when those pics were took. How come you edited the handlers face out Joe ?? Is it because he's a handsome old chap ?? LOL !! Cheers.
  7. I doubt that Match Coursing had anything to do with the ban, as the vast proportion of the populace knew nothing about it ! The ban came about because the Labour party wanted to stick it to the "Tory Toff Fox Hunters", and coursing, beagling, mink hunting, etc, were simply unfortunate by-products of the ban ! Yes, the Waterloo Cup was targeted, but that wasn't the same as Match Coursing. Matches have been, and will carry on , being illegaly run. Before the ban many, many, matches were run and very few people heard about them.If I was a Match man these days, I'd be horrified by the hangers on a
  8. I've got family in Rotaroa, although they have no interest in hunting, whenever I was down there they put up with me going out in the dark and coming home in the dark, with tales and photo's of some great places and things we'd been up to ! I was supposed to go and meet Barry Crump, but the old bugger died before I could get across to see him for a yarn ! Next time I'm down, I'll give you a shout ! Cheers.
  9. Steve, surely they are not all "Captain Cookers" ? The "Captain Cookers" I saw around Tokaroa and down to Taupo were huge ginger buggers, but they were well outnumbered by the typical black, black and white, spotted types of feral pigs. This little bugger was unfourtunate to get hit by a car as we ran him out of NZFP land near Toke. What clubs do you hunt with ? We may have mutual aquaintances, although it's been a fair while since I was in NZ. Cheers.
  10. I think we are all, broadly, in agreement that worker to worker is the best way..... but surely there is a case for the first cross that ISN'T from "workers" ? I own one; another well known lad on here has a tremendous Collie/Grey, 1st cross; were it's parents "workers" ? How many of the 1st cross Bull/Greyhounds on here are out of "workers" ? How many of the Salukis that have produced the finest hare coursers in the world , were actualy "workers" ? OK, working ability is great, but breeding and stockmanship also comes into it. They all play a part in producing good Lurchers. Cheers.
  11. you could start an argument in an empty room! I didn't realise my post was an "argument". Sorry if you thought it was. I was just talking sense, and would rather lads didn't get into bother ! I've NEVER had permission, by the way; and have allways walked "on the other side of the fence", and been caught and sentenced accordingly, and nowadays have a bit more sense. I still do it, but try to avoid confrontation. If my posts offend you, there's a simple remedy.... don't read them ! Cheers.
  12. I'm an old tradistionalist who likes hairy Greyhounds and hairy Whippets, but I was lucky enough to see Jack and Moscow in the flesh; unfourtunately they were well past their prime then, but it's good for the game that their prodgeny is doing so well !! Cheers.
  13. silly talk,its all in the blood,you breed from pets you get pets.all the lads at the top of there game have one thing in common,a good line of dogs behind them. if it's 'all in the blood' it surely doesn't matter whether the blood works or not corse it does how do you know whats in the blood if its not tested an if inferior dogs turn up then surely they have to be culled no good breeding off something you think is in the BLOOD if you havent tested it so hypothetically you wouldn't take a lurcher pup bred out of top honcho's unraced unworked sister I took a pup out of West
  14. The Wiemarana is a tremendous dog in it's own right, the "Grey Ghost" they are sometimes called. But they are HPR's and in my mind, have no place in Lurcher breeding. They add nothing. Cheers.
  15. So young !! LOL !! She's 6 1/2 !! But it's only a skin tear, no muscle damage, and yes, I reckon about a week Cheers.
  16. Good to hear, mate, Lima's doing well, will pm you the details. Cheers.

  18. Just as the season was going nicely, Delta couldn't decide wether to go thru' or over a barbed wire fence,and ended up going into it !! High up on her back leg; Shaved, cleaned and trimmed; Back together; She's a tough little bitch and a quick healer; a week should see her right ! Cheers.
  19. The "Hunting Act 2004" is such a badly advised, badly thought out, badly draughted, badly constructed law, that no one is exactly sure how to interpret the "gray" areas, So if the police, magistrate, judge, etc says you need a written permision letter and you say you don;t.... you better get a very good, very expensive btief !!! Far easier , if you have permissionn get a letter ! Cheers.
  20. As much as I love Deerhound crosses, and I own a couple.....this is like "Groundhog Day" !! LOL !! Cheers.
  21. doesn't have to be written does it? the law just says permission doesn't it? it says written for terrier work but not for rabbiting/ratting. Yes it DOE'S have to be written. If you don't have your permission letter with you, how doe's the cop know you have permission ? .... OH !! That's right !!! He 'phones the farmer or landowner at 3 o'clock in the morning to check, and pisses him off so you lose whatever permission you had ! Cheers.
  22. It's ilegal to hunt ANY mammal with dogs, day or night, including rabbits ! Rabbits and rats have an exemption ONLY if you hav WRITTEN PERMISSION from the landowner or tenant, so if you didn;t have written permission, and you were lamping, then the copper was right !! Any amount of barrack room lawyers will tell you it's ok to lamp rabbits; but believe me, IT'S NOT unless you have WRITTEN PERMISSION !!! Cheers.
  23. Some of the best game available, if cooked correctly ! Cheers.
  24. If you already have dogs living outside, then you'll know all a dog needs is a dry, draught free kennel, with some decent bedding. A Whippet should be no different to your other dogs if that is provided. Cheers.
  25. Never actualy heard of any dogs KILING a wild boar; they usualy hold it or bail it until the hunter administers the coupe de grace ! Cheers.
