Edited, as pointles replying to some stupid comments. Cheers. -

chartpolski replied to chartpolski's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Bunnys; Pure Greyhound blood is REGULARLY added to Non-Ped Whippets, and the first crosses are usualy faster than the second crosses. Cheers. -

chartpolski replied to chartpolski's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I understand what you are saying, Andy, but I wasn't realy refering to First crosses, more to what you did to produce Don, for example. That is putting a "pure" back into a Lurcher line every now and again. Some like Dan and Whin are dead set against it, while others do it. Cheers. -
Do you have a preference Rough or Smooth coat lurchers
chartpolski replied to djs7547's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
To me, it doesn't make a ha'porth of difference to the dogs ability, being rough or smooth, but I'm old fashioned and like the old "hairy Greyhounds" and "hairy Whippets" !! LOL !! Cheers. -
Looks like you like the Shar Pei, Red ! I'll bet they are a bit different to the ones bred here ! Cheers.

Pure Greyhound....or Pure Saluki ??
chartpolski replied to chartpolski's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Lets broaden the question a bit. If you like the big hairy dogs, do you breed cross to cross, or do you put a pure Deerhound back in now and again ? Simarly, if you like Collie crosses, do you breed cross to cross, or do you add a pure Collie from time to time ? I don't have a preference, I have Lurcher to Lurcher and 1st cross. Some,like Dan ,breed best worker to best worker and others like to put a Pure back in now and again. I used Greyhound and Saluki as an example, as these seem to be the most popular "base" breeds. Cheers. -

It is about using Pure Greys or Pure Saluki in Lurcher breeding, are they still needed, or is Lurcher to Lurcher the way to go ? Cheers. -

What would you use for daytime coursing? His Coyote Hounds. Cheers. -
Wellingtons..muck boots, aigle etc
chartpolski replied to canaliculata's topic in Hunting Boots & Clothing
I had a pair of Muckboots; the soles wore flat in a couple of month, the neoprene snagged everything and they split across the toe !! For 60 odd quid, I wasn't impressed ! Cheers. -
Was that in Chopwell Woods, by any chance ? Cheers.
-
I had a pure Saluki that sometimes went into the "stay three feet away" mode, and it's the most frustrating, infuriating thing ! The only way I could get him back when he was like this, was to get in the motor and drive a few feet away, stop and open a door; he would fly into the motor, every single time !! LOL !! One thing for certain though; I'd never take him or any dog like him, ferreting !! They are just not meant for it ! Cheers.
-
I don't realy "finish" as such. I'm always up to something, even if it's just running a rabbit or two when I'm fishing. Obviously , nothing like the work the dogs do in the "normal",winter season, but there's always something to keep them occupied ! Cheers.
-
"Mainly Lampers" Seems a strange thing to say; From what I read, some lampers have had only good things to say.... Cheers.

I was going to go back 1 st cross
chartpolski replied to shaun coursing's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Go on, Cocker !! Lend him one of your bitches !! LOL !! Where do these people come from ???? LMAO !!!! Cheers. -
Didn't there used to be,(maybe still is), a "Rabbit Pack" of terriers, that go out ? I seem to remember reading about them on one of the sites ? Cheers.
-
"Bobbery Packs" used to be quite popular a while back; a couple of Lurchers, Whippets and Terriers all mooching around to see what they could lift. It wasn't supposed to be serious hunting, just a walk with the dogs and a bit sport. On a day like today, it would be far better than sitting here waiting for the football to start !! LOL !! I had my two out for about three hours this morning, and if I'd had a flask of soup or coffee with me, I still wouldn't be home ! Nowt wrong with having a long walk and letting the dogs run loose, catching something is just a bonus ! Cheers.
-
Moll,can I hire you to come and take a few pics of my big Deer X jumping fences ? LOL ! I've tried a hundred times, but it never works out !! Cheers.
-
I hope no one will mind me putting up this pic; it was the last time I saw Jimmy...he was a Lurcher man,, R I P.
-
I won't be there, but I'll be thinking of him and his family. The last time I talked to Jimmy was when I was Runner Up to him at the Scottish Champion Of Champions, a few years ago. He was a Lurcher Man...............Enough Said.

chartpolski replied to suffolkpoacher's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I never saw the dog, Andy, but I have spoke to the owner, and both that dog and it's litter sister, which was supposed to be a better worker, both met their end doing what they were bred for, taking pig ! Cheers. -

Strangely enough, that's a popular cross in Australia, but I did laugh at the "fat lass" quip ! LOL !! An Aussie EBT X Grey; Cheers. -
Well, her dad was a canny show dog !! Cheers.

chartpolski replied to suffolkpoacher's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Whin, once again, this thread is about the worst dog YOU have had; not about the worst BREED, or the worst dog someone you KNOW has had ! Now your dogs may be good, but you can't have had perfect dogs all your life; one of them MUST have been less perfect than the others ? That's what the post is about ! Cheers.
