The best WORKING lurcher I have seen in over 40 years has only had two second place rosettes at shows, but then again, it's nowt to do with the dogs; it's all to do with the owners, (and their mates) !! Cheers.

its earmarks indicated it was born 2000 of a litter of nine, no matter when they were born they become one year old on the 1st of january and a year older each following January Never said she had n't coursed said she had n't seen or even coursed a brown hare and thanks for the pic Y.I.S Leeview Only relaying what the Lady owner told me during my conversation with her. Born Oct 2000, Waterloo Cup Feb 2005 = 4 year old, not going to nit pick, it was the first time I saw the bitch and took the Lady at her word. A class bitch, ( the dog, not the owner, LOL !!) !! Cheers.

Heres that American bitch from the Waterloo Cup; 24", 45lb and it was 4 year old at the time. It HAD coursed regularly in the 'States, according to it's owner. If we are talking purely MPH, then it's a no-brainer; the Greyhound is faster than the Saluki, fact. To the people who say the Saluki would cut across the track after the hare and other such nonsence; pure desert bred Salukis are raced on the track in a few Middle East countries, especialy the U.A.E., with good affect. I've seen them and met some of the owners. There biggest worry is people trying to inject some Greyho

Sky, you say "bred out of"......., "bred from"......, what is your pups parents; what are their parents ? A lovely looking pup, but "Cruise" was a long time back !! Cheers.

I ordered a gated panel from them; they quoted £11 delivery, I paid for it and they then sent a confirmation e mail, still £11 delivery; two weeks later, they phoned me and said they had made a mistake, now £33 delivery !!! I cancelled the order ! Cheers.

This one, (3/4 Deer x 1/4 Grey), has recently retired after 4 seasons up north on the reds. Definately NOT a show pony ! Cheers.

Whats the most hares you done in one night
chartpolski replied to a topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
each one 2 there own mate, my opinion is a hare should be coursed and not shot! i shoot aswell but would never think of shooting a hare, i would rather give this fine animal a chance to prove itself one on one with a lurcher than fill it full of lead, just my opinion lads Never shot a hare in my life, and never would ! Cheers. -

hi mate i think we all would prefare daytime but times change and were pushed into things we would rather not do but thats life take care mark I'm not saying I wouldn't take a lamped hare, just prefer them daytime. The hares where I encounter them must be good'uns, 'cause no collie would take them !LOL !! And if you are out after a bag of rabbits, all a hare does is tire your dog out and lessen you chance of a good bag of rabbits ! There are times when me and LDR go out for specific quarry, but that doesn't prevent the odd "accident" !! LOL !! Cheers. -

I was talking to a guy just last week who was part of a keepers shoot at six mile bottom that shot over 900 hares in two days !! So I can't see the problem in lamping a few with the dogs. In answer to the origional question, I've had two in a night, but that was by accident, when lamping rabbits; I personaly prefer daytime for hares, pre ban, of course ! Cheers. -

My bitch, Delta won the rough lurcher bitch class; and she had just got back from a full weeks work down the country, she is also in the lamping competition that is organised on this site, so you should realy get your facts right before going on about "non-workers " !! Cheers. -
This one was a fair size; didn't wheigh it, but it felt over the 20 lbs ! Good old days, pre ban, of course ! Cheers.
-
Where have I said that ????????? I have mentioned a mixi rabbit that me and LDR had that ran just as well as an able bodied one !!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers.
-
At the end of the day, it's slip for slip, so any anomalaties should even themselves out. Cheers.
-
Remember that mixi one Delta had that night on Gins land ??? The bugger ran as well as any able bodied rabbit !! They should count; all rabbits slipped on and caught should count. Cheers.
-
Cancelled, as far as I know, for their refusal to accomodate docked terrier pups !! Cheers.
-
Well I've heard that "The Bruce" has a bad shoulder;..... anyone going to give me 20-1 against him making the final ???????? Cheers.
-
No worry's !, he's probably another teenager with his first dog !! Hope he learns !! Cheers.
-
Well, it doesn't make sense to me !! I would far rather, for simplicities sake, just go straight down the card, then everyone knows where they are !! I, of course, will still back this competition, whatever you decide ! Cheers, your cantankerous old mate !!
-
and you saying you have had dogs through the years are going to say that you still wouldnt hunt a fox? not trying to be a dick or nothing i was simply making a suggestion and it wasnt until use started that i said i wouldnt waste my time with rabbits. I said my dogs have taken "EVERTHING", before the ban, of course, that includes fox !!! This is a RABBIT lamping competition, for good prize money and trophies, if the humble rabbit is below you and your dog, why comment ????? Cheers.
-
Edited Because this competition is advertised in front of TENS OF THOUSANDS of people, and is perfectly LEGAL; unlike what you are suggesting.... you dipshit !! How old are you... TWELVE !!! Get a life !!!
-
Sean, I take it you mean me, when you say "the boy above you" !! Firstly, I'm not a boy, I'm 56; secondly, I don't know anything about you or your dogs, so couldn't comment on your dogs. You post on a thread you know nothing about, and suggest that rabbits are not the quarry of a lurcher, well my lurchers over the years have taken EVERYTHING, what is it that YOUR dogs take ?? Do enlighten us !! Cheers.
-
No, it only seperates the people who are willing to put their dogs up, from the ones who denigrate it !! Cheers.

So chartpolski if you are victorious and rew is to you dont mind traveling down notts for your 2nd round heat ? I'm travelling down to Newark on sunday evening, after the St. Johns Chapell Show, for an evenings rabbit shooting, a nights lamping with a lurcher and a whippet, and a morning goose shooting !! So, yes, as I have just told LDR, I'd be prepared to travel down to Cornwall, never mind Notts, for a 2nd round encounter, if I was lucky enough to win my 1st round !!! Cheers.
-
Hold on mate, thats not what I understood !! You cannot wait until the 1st round is run, then decide who runs who in the 2nd round !! That will only lead to suspicion and make a mockery of the competition !! I understood, from talking to you, that if I was lucky enough to win my 1st round, I would be up against you or Rew in the 2nd round !! Which is exactly as it should be !! They don't re-draw the F.A. Cup or Wimbledon after the 1st round !! There will only be eight dogs in the 2nd round, some one will have to travel !! Cheers.
-
iam on to it now tomo lol thanks Just an observation mate, but you haven't got them in the correct running order, and that will cause confusion as to who runs who in the 2nd round ! Cheers. Wouldnt it be in the hat for the second round ? obviously keeping people as close in their area as possible but if their is say 4 from the northeast in the 2nd round its only fair they are out of a hat with say ian b drawing them as we can all trust him im sure of that. people cant be seen to be handpicking their opponents. Lets not start changing the rules now !!! This is the way LDR s
