Whats "ascholled" ? Is it some type of Germanic Hunting Dog ? Cheers.

Rocky;it's great that you champion the "big dogs"; but lets be fair..... I've owned everything from Whippets to Deerhound X's, and ran them all on rabbits; but a 29" to 31" dog MAY catch rabbits....... but a good 23" to 26" dog SHOULD do far better than the BIG dogs on rabbit !! ATB mate !! Cheers.

Did you paint that yourself Chart ? I acquired some herris fencing and started painting it, I done about two meshes and then decided the natural look was better lol No mate, it came in red ! It is usualy un-painted; but I'll take it in any colour if it's for nowt !! Cheers.

I've just built a chicken cree out of Harris Fence, but I didn't pay £20 a panel ! Cheers.

Just chicken wire mate. The dogs are out most of the day and once they are fed and settled, they don't move, In fact, they could both jump out the run if they wanted to, but they dont. Cheers. cheers mate trying to find some decent mesh for the run but its proving a tough job at a decent price! im in 2 minds weather to use chicken mesh just incase the dog just pulls it off the frame if he wants to get out the run Chicken mesh is useless if a dog even scratches at it. I'm lucky; I've had plenty of lads and lasses from this site up here for a run or two, and their d

I like that !!! Is it EBT X Whippet ? Cheers.

That's one hell of a size for a Grew, mate Cheers. being 2nd gen i suppose it just threw heavilly to the gh side I don't disbelieve the lad; but I've seen any amount of 1st X Whippet/Greys, and 2nd and 3rd generations, even 1/4 Whippet/3/4 Greys that haven't made that size. Of course it's possible, but a Grew the size of a Deer X would be very unusual. Cheers.

I've got a 29" 1st X deer/grey bitch. She wasn't bred or brought in for rabbits,but takes then day and night. Wouldn't be my first choice for rabbits, but she does O.K. on them. Cheers.

no wonder the lurcher game is the way it is
chartpolski replied to poacherman's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I don't see why people should be EXPECTED to give pups away for free. If I bred a litter, they would be for myself, family and friends, for free, but that would be my choice. I have been offered pups in the past that were well bred, for free, but wern't what I wanted or needed, so I didn't accept the offer. I also had a call from a bloke offering to place a pure Saluki with me, but his conditions were unacceptable. When I've seen a breeding I like, I have no hesitation in paying for a pup. It's great that people give pups to good working homes for free, but as I say, it shouldn't be EXPECTED. -
flushing hare into a gate net..is it legal
chartpolski replied to johnnywippet's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Are you netting these hares for a purpose, i.e. tagging, relocating, etc? Or are you clearing the land for the farmer, or just taking one or two for the pot ? Unless you can count on the full backing of the landowner/farmer, I think the police would still try to do you for coursing, wether netting is legal or not. Cheers. -
Yes it will. It'll affect his prey drive, sex drive, aggresion, and if not properly controlled, it will turn him fat and lazy. Cheers.

chartpolski replied to poacherman's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Why ? What if they are lost or stolen ? I get all my dogs chipped, Newcastle Council comes to your house and does them for free. You also get cheaper insurance if they are chipped. Cheers. -
problem last night with my dog - advice please
chartpolski replied to ianh's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Sounds like he had a fit thru' running him to hard and unfit. You're lucky he came round, I know dogs that didn't !! If he were mine, I'd have him checked out by a vet. Cheers. -

chartpolski replied to poacherman's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
You're dead right mate ! I saw a litter advertised at £250 each. I did my homework, and they were exactly what I wanted. It was a 500 mile round trip, but I would travel any distance for the right pup. Anyhow, when I got there, it turned out we had mutual friends from years ago, the seller insisted I have the pick for £200, and then gave me £20 back for luck !!! A genuine bloke, and I would gladly have given the £250 for a pup I wanted ! Cheers. -
Funny how we were just discussing this topic last night........ Went to feed the chickens this morning, and took the dogs with me. On the way, my Deer X bitch, Lima, pegged this fine cock bird; And as an added bonus, she retrieved it live to hand ! Well, that's dinner sorted ! LOL ! Cheers.

Kangeroo Fairly easy, actualy... with the right dog. Cheers.

The people who are so against a Lurcher taking the odd pheasant... would be happy to see your dogs taking corvids, but the origional question was about taking "FEATHER"; to a Lurcher owner, feather is feather, don't make much difference what type it is. If it's edible; all the better ! Cheers.

One wolfhound, 3 italian greyhounds and a cairn mix......... I think that Eyetaliand Grayhoond might be a good cros for my Mini Doberman !! Cheers.

tell you what then mate go tell the keeper you've been catching pheasants all around the shoot... Not on it but just around it... See how welcome you are then..... Lol Lab, you've either misunderstood me or misread me ! My nearest shoot is 20 mile away !! My dogs peg the odd one around the doors, no where near a shoot. They, and I, are well behaved on the shoots, that's why we are welcome !! Cheers. To be fair mate it's a subject that really bothers me. And on here I realise your not an idiot with a dog( like some here) and I'm sure your a respectful kind of guy. Also I've state
