  1. Hmmm... The way I've allways understood it; Two Pure Breeds of the same breed = Pure Breed. Two dogs of different breeds mated for a specific purpose = Cross Breeds. Two dogs of different breeding mated by accident or for no specific purpose = Mongrel. Therefore a planned mating to produce Lurchers would not be "Mongrels"; but "Cross Breeds" ! JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION. CHEERS.
  2. No... we don't underestimate the capabilities of pups...we just underestimate the stupidity of some Lurcher owners ! Cheers. dont knock it until youve tried it. the dogs always seem to turn out o.k I would NEVER, EVER lamp a 3 - 4 month old pup, so there is no chance of me ever trying it ! Cheers.

  4. I've got a pup that's 11 1/2 month old...she won't have a serious run 'till the crops come down. You guy's who are running 3-4 month old pups...well you obviously haven't had running dogs before ! The sooner you move on to something else, the better !! Cheers.
  5. Have a look at this; http://www.natural-dog-health-remedies.com/dog-bloat.html Cheers.
  6. Yeah; Tess was out of the same litter; Tess; Dam, Maegan; Cheers.
  7. Father and daughter; Flynn, (owned by Pat Blewitt), a 1st cross Bedlington/Greyhound from Heartbreak Fell Kennell; and my bitch Delta, by Flynn; out of Gin's Maegan, a Deer/Grey-Whippet/Grey.... Cheers.
  8. LDR's "Billy" was as big if not bigger than Lima, and he could take rabbits as well or better than most dogs. "Bruce" is over 27" and he's been known to catch a rabbit or two !! LOL !! As for the food bill, do you realy think a 29" dog is going to eat that much more than a 25" dog ? Funnily enough, I was talking to Mally yesterday about food bills, and as I buy in bulk from a local butcher and game dealer, my dogs are fed the best, for very little outlay. You just need to shop around and find a good supplier. How mine and Davey's dogs turn out is yet to be seen, but they will get every chance.
  9. In the 2nd pic he looks the double of Lima, apart from the colour.It will be great to see them in full flight !! All the very best with him. Cheers.
  10. She hasn't been tested yet, maybe in a month or two, but she seems to have the Greyhound style of running. She's quick off the mark and seems sharp for a big dog. Cheers.
  11. I don't think there are any vids of Bruce. Yeah, he will be working again this season, he'll be 7 this year, but he's still fit, and I'm sure LDR will not be retiring him any time soon. Cheers.
  12. It's Darcy's book "Now thats what I call lurcher work 11" Bruce has a good write up, and even my little bitch Delta and my old Doberman, Tango, get a mention !! LOL !! Cheers.
  13. Dave, Lima and Delta are doing great ! Get yourself over any time and see them ; you know you are welcome any time !!! cHEERS.
  14. The black dog is Bruce, no one knowes his breading, only that he is out of a pure Greyhound bitch. There is a good tale about him in Darcy's last book. He worked with my other bitch,and brought her on great; and he will, hopefully work this season with my pup and give her a good introduction to the game. Cheers.
  15. Just a couple of pics of my 1st x Deer/Grey bitch pup. 11 month old and 29" and 75lb; And a pic of her with the old Master, Bruce, who will be teaching her the ropes this season; Cheers.
  16. FOUR HOURS !! How long did you think a battery would last ????? And the beam has nothing to do with the battery; it's the bulb that gives the intensity of light !! Cheers.
  17. Not having a go mate, but if you have had five Hancock dogs and only one made the grade; why did you keep getting them ? Do you think that maybe there might just be a good'un in there somewhere? Cheers. Maybe I could've put it differently charti,all the Hancock dogs I owned were pre-ban when i say they were average I mean average on all quarry though apart from the one all were very decent rabbiting dogs.Why did I go back to hancocks to get more,for one you knew you what you were going to get and back in the day when we didn't have the luxury of the internet if you wanted a nice typey

  19. Your pal will have to pay an awfull lot of money for a working bred Saluki, if he can find a one, and if the breeder will sell him one !! Why on earth would he want a KC Saluki for rabbits, when any decent bred Lurcher will do the job better and for a fraction of the price ??? Cheers.

  21. We'll have a night out with the Blitz, and believe me... you won't want any other lamp !! LOL !! Cheers.
  22. Sorted by pm; crossed wires ! Cheers.
  23. Talking about a "Kurdish" is a bit like talking about a Minshaw, or a Plummer ! Saluki's are a breed in the middle east, but different tribes have different dogs !! Some areas they are smooth, other areas they are well hairy !! Your "Taigan" "Sloughi" "Azawak", etc are from the same Bedu breeds !! If you spoke Arabic; Saluki and Sloughi are the same thing !! I'm not knocking the pure Arabic Saluki, in fact I think we need more of them here, but lets not make them into some mythical beast !! Cheers.
