  1. And I remember advertisments in shop windows wanting people to cull the rabbits in Ford and Etal !!And have been there on permission with dogs and guns, and never seen a keeper doing his job !! Was there with my brother and a keeper from Delaval Lands to try and sort out the pest control..a few years back, mind, but it was an area allways hit by the lads !! Cheers.
  2. my bedy whippet gh are 24 and half inch and 24" so ther a very good size for buny Good !! I said "usualy"; and said many would disagree. I have a 29" bitch that takes rabbits in the lamp, but I wouldn't advise the lad to get a Deer/Grey for what he wants...I only gave an opinion. A dog from 18" to 32" will take rabbits, but the lad asked what was best for him. I'd suggest a middle of the road, 22" to 27" Lurcher to Lurcher bred dog, from a GENUINE breeder !! Cheers.
  3. Just Google it mate !! Any amount of info on the track ! Cheers.
  4. I, personaly, wouldn't go for a Beddy/Whippet, to small for my liking, although others swear by them !! I'd rather go for a Beddy/Grey or a Beddy/Whippet X Grey, just to put a bit of size in them ! Beddy/Grey 1st X's usualy go around 23-/24", but of course, many will come on here and disagree !! There's other X's that may suite you, Collie X, Whippet/grey, etc... they're all good and will do what you want; the choice is yours !! Cheers.
  5. I hope my mate Mally doesn't mind me putting up this pic of Vixen...... In my mind the best looking working pedigree Whippet out there ! Cheers.
  6. I remember this bitch from the 60's or 70's; Marretta, bred from Bilko and a greyhound; top class Non-Ped Whippet; Cheers.
  7. Fair do's Tomo... I've commented on that pic of Visa before, stunning, a dog at it's peak ! Cheers.
  8. Artic; I'm a complete novice with chickens, got four in my allotment. Anyhow; I've been going to my local "Fur & Feather" sale, and can't believe how cheap the birds are !! There were two Japanese Game Cocks, looked young and good condition, went for £1 EACH !!!! A pair of 3month old English Game Hens, £8 the PAIR !! Silkies going for £2 each or £4 a trio !! I think anyone who knows what they are doing will get bargains ! Cheers.
  9. I'd be there today for a couple, 'Von, but our council has just decided "no cockerels" !! on our allotments And the ones already there have to go !! Cheers.
  10. Riohog, just a few facts..not hearsay; his kennel is in Abu Dhabi, not Dubai, he is proud to be an Emirati, not a Bahraini, he refused to sell a dog to an english guy, no matter how much he offered, as he thought it would be used for Lurcher breeding, I was with him when he refused to stud one of his dogs to an Omani saluki, as the owner couldn't proove it was genuine Beduin bred. He offered me a pup, free, and the only stipulation was it wasn't to go into 6 month quarrantine. As with ALL dog breeding, jealousy and rumours abound; I found him to be very genuine, and maybe you would to, if you
  11. Yes mate, I had a good look around the kennels kitchen, and tasted the food ! LOL ! They were fed boiled chicken and rice. Cheers.
  12. hi there charts was sheik hamed over here running lads on british soil ??? i heard he had his dogs flown over here to run lads for big money dont know how true it is thats why im asking you mate He was over here a couple of years ago, for a meeting of the World Saluki Club, in Manchester, and also had a stand at the CLA. I doubt he would be running matches here, he usualy runs his dogsin Pakistan and Africa.... but who knows ? Cheers.
  13. Nah; not getting crabby mate.... just find it hard to believe half the shite I read on here !!! Great Dane X's FFS !! But of course it must be a good'un.... 'cause it's face is marked from top to bottom !! LMFAO !!! Cheers.
  14. Moonpig... You'rer either having a laugh; or you should be in a different game....... Honestly !! Cheers.
  15. oh noo by far am i thinking to intro duce any sort of blood into any lurcher, im just asking a queston., why introduce any cross in to a lurcher when the old collie greyhound can do You asked "for any info on the x"... well, if you are in Australia, hunting pigs, and have access to their REAL Great Danes, then they may be a good X......... But here in the UK, there is no possible scenario where a 'Dane would add to a lurcher X ! They cannot run, turn or catch,.. they are prone to more disease than most dogs and have a very limited lifespan !! So basically.. avoid at all cost !! Chee
  16. WHY; OH WHY OH WHY....Would anyone want to introduce 'dane blood into a Lurcher ???? The most useless, eating machine, shit producing dogs we have on these isles !! Please do not even think about this cross !! Cheers.
  17. I'll let Penny answer this. She'll do it truthfully. They may turn out great dogs....but at the end of the day it was an ACCIDENTAL mating...not planned. I'm a big fan of terriers in Lurcher breedind, and own a Beddy X myself...but for you to refer us to a post by Skycat on Airdale X's is wrong. Cheers.
  18. They were an accidental mating, mate. Ask her if she would have done this mating intentionaly. I wish her the best of luck with them, but I'd bet she would be the first to admit they wouldn't be her preffered mating. Cheers.
  19. Get the pup out everywhere and as much time with you as possible ! Still a bit young in my opinion for this season, but don't forget, you've got it for the next ten year or more, so no hurry !! If you don't know the game, then learn along with the dog, it's not rocket science !! Let the dog see the game and slip it !! Easy as !! Get the absolute basics right, and you can't go wrong.. Recall is the most important to me, then retreive...anything else is a bonus with a lurcher ! The most important thing is for you and the dog to have FUN !!! Cheers.
  20. I'd been out there 26 years mate, I was terrified the bird started baiting and hurt itself!! Mahktoum , the ruler of Dubai had just paid $100,000 for it !!! Cheers. PS. That's my "happy face" !! LOL !!
  21. [bANNED TEXT] Ban; Sheik Hamed is a friend of my dauughters, and I visited him a while back. He took me to his Falconry Centre in Dubai, and his Saluki Centre in Abu Dabhi. An absolute top man, who lives for his Salukis and Falcons ! Try and see his film, "Hounds Of Arabia", a good show about Middle East Salukis. Cheers.
  22. Those birds are better looking than the hosties on RyanAir !! LOL !! Cheers.
  23. A few falcon being flown from the U.A.E to Pakistan to hunt Bustard; The dogs would be crated up in the hold. Cheers.
