    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    what you got to remember poach is its not just us lot that mix breeds , they have been crossing azawakh ,sloughi saluki,galgo for hundreds of years and greys , so whay im saying is like today your old dad could quite of easaly seen a cross breed I was in Hamed Ghanem's kennels last year, and as he was driving me and my daughter back from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, I asked him if he prefered feathered to smooth; and he said "what are you talking about ? I breed best worker to worker, never mind coat" ! Fair play !! Cheers. Same old rubbish if it smooth it has to be a cross the own

    Strike oil did we In the Middle East deserts there are pools of oil that well up to the surface. The wind blows sand across them and forms a crust. Many a 4 wheel driver or biker has fallen foul of them. This instance the hare went across, but the dog went through !! It took some time and a lot of "Fairy Liquid" to clean him up. Cheers.

    I've only owned one genuine, 100%, desert bred Saluki dog. His whole life and hunting career was spent with me in the Middle East. He was PTS at 17 year old. How I wish I had him here to mate some of the Lurchers I've had....... Cheers.

    I'm not well up on pure saluki breeding in the U.K.; but to bring in genuine, working bred stock from coo can only be good for the breed, and also good for future Saluki Lurchers. Cheers.

    "What's easier for a dog; Hare or Roe" ? Bit of a daft question in my oppinion. I've seen hares taken out of their seat by dogs that couldn't catch a hare given fair law...also seen roe bounce of fences and taken by curs that shouldn't be in the same field ! Either animal, given fair law, daytime, is more than a match for all but the best dogs ! Cheers.

    I'm supprised there are any roe left in this country...... they are so easy to catch; and everyones dogs do them with ease !! Cheers.
  17. chartpolski
    How many roe have you "blown over" mate ? Cheers.

    I've seen dogs straightlined by hare and roe, daytime.... also seen the same dogs take hare and roe fairly easily at other times. There are a lot of variables with running certain quarry; such as time of year, type of land, and even weather conditions, One thing I will say, anyone who says daytime roe are easy, let me know where you are running them, 'cause the buggers aint easy up here !! LOL !! Cheers.

    Get some pics up of the inside mate ! I imagine there is electricity, plumbed water, drainage, etc ; if the outside is anything to go by !! Top class job !! Cheers.

    Beautiful dog ! Best of luck with it, I'm sure you'll get the best out of him ! Cheers.

    All the resavoirs around here , Derwent, Kielder, Fontburn, are fishing well, fly and bait, at the moment. Maybe the change in the weather ? Cheers.

Cheers. lier you hate bullcrosses Send me one of your next litter up, and I may get to like them !!! LOL !!! Cheers.

Cheers. ah but mister chartposki you own a deerhound x so you will stick up for them me personly woul rather something smaller cheaper to feed that you dont need a field a mile long and wide for them to get up to top speed and turn imo I also own a Beddy X, and have owned most X's and purebreds, and as I said, I'm not breed blind. Only speaking as I've seen; how
