Cheers. thin skin that always put me off, last ole bitch had skin like paper, cost me a lot in vets bills over the years Buy a suture kit or stapler and practice on tissue paper !! LOL !!

Sounds good But, and I'm only being "Devils Advocate" now, how will you tell which is Whippet/Grey and which is pure Grey ?? There's a lot of un-tattoed Greys running in the Lurcher racing now.Cheers. -

As WxG has said; I doubt you will get the fastest Non-Peds turning up, as all the BWRA/NWRF dogs will allready have their season planned, but well done for promoting Non-Ped racing, they realy are something special to watch over the shorter distances ! Will they run out of traps or hand slipped, is there a height or wheight limit ? Shouldn't make much difference either way. Good luck. Cheers. -
As much as I like Wolfhounds, there isn't a hope in hell of one catching a roe, either now or pre-ban ! LOL ! Cheers.

It depends on a lot of things; the dog, the owner, the land, time of year, etc. All dogs are different, some start early, some later. A decent owner would know when his dog was ready. I started one at 12 month and 1 day, she ran and killed her 1st hare without any problem; another, I waited unil she was nearer 18 month before entering her to hare. So a simple yes/no poll doesn't mean much. Cheers.

The "old dog man " I was refering to was MYSELF ! Sorry for any confusion, Cheers.

A joke, 'Von, just a joke ! Cheers.

I wasn't talking about my ancestors !! I was talking about my youth; so please don't patronise me ! It was/is a good thread, but it doesn't behove a Mod to denigrate it ! Cheers.

I'll agree that Thatcher f****d the working man, (and not in a nice way !! LOL !!), but come on...you can't equate the 's with the 50's !!!! There was tough times after the war, but the 's there was no rationing, people wern't starving, we all poached and collected scrap, but there was no way we would go as hungry as people did in the 50's, 60's, etc !! Cheers. S.yorks was booming in the 50s and 60s and everybody was in employment not so in the 80s.and the old pitmen who i was on strike with said it was a lot worse and could only compare it to the war years. Poach, if you beleve

What was that ? ..Two kids, a goat, three chickens and a pair of ferrets ?? Ba, you crack me up !! Keep 'em coming, mate !! Cheers. LOL C, he did, 5 boys and 3 girls..... randy auld c**t. He could snare anything mate, rabbit/hare/fox/deer if it had a leg or a neck he could snare it and did Canny craic, as we say doon here in the borders !! Cheers. I even seen him snare a sea trout You'd be amazed what a knowledgeable man can catch with wire. You've got to be Whin's better educated cousin !! I await with bated breath the stories of the salmo and lobs !!

Saluki's are fine dogs; and I've had both pure and hybrids, and ran Saluki's in their own enviroment; BUT.... if it's a lamping dog your after; then they are not your best choice by a long way !! Get a Lurcher bred pup from lamping parents. It'll do far better and be far cheaper ! Cheers.

I'm probably "one of the more mature members" Simo's on about ! I remember times long before the miners strike, as bad as that was. I never NEEDED to hunt to get meat for the table, but we allways ate what we caught. What we didn't eat was given away to people who did need it,old people, people with big families, people out of work, etc. Still get asked by people for a rabbit, pheasant, trout, etc. The old days of hunger in this country, have, thankfully, gone.. but nowt wrong with giving an owld lad or lass a rabbit or bit of venison now and again !! (or even swapping them for a "beer voucher
