    I enquired about a delivery to the North East of England, but never took them up on it.... but they keep sending me a bill for a non-existent delivery ! So I, personaly, wouldn't deal with them ! Cheers.

    They were, according to Skycat, a mistake mating; but it'll be interesting to see how they turn out. I think a planned mating, say 1/4 Airedale, 3/4 Greyhound could be very handy dogs ! Cheers.

    Why do people post about "road kill", "pre ban", "shot and retreived", etc ??? Why not just do what you do with your dogs, quietly, and not give the anti's more amunition against us ?? Cheers.

    Sometimes dog mince from the butcher has a lot of liver in it. That would make the faeces black, especialy in a pup. Cheers.

    I attend "Non-Ped Whippet" racng most weekends, and the owners I've talked to either dismiss it out of hand or have more important races going on to get their dogs ready for, i.e. the English Derby, etc. Why would they bother racing their dogs against, what are after all, un-registered Greyhounds, when they have their own competitions ? Cheers.

    If your'e prepared to wait a second or two, (a life time when lamping rabbits !!), for them to "warm up", then thats ok, ! Cheers.

    Let's be fair here; a Greyhound isn't finished at two year old.... only the useless ones are !! A class Greyhound is only starting at two year old !! If you take a fighter or one that won't chase, at two year old, and start running it as a "lurcher", you may get a season or two of exiting running.... but be prepared for big vet bills and dissapointment !! Cheers.

    No spawn in my pond yet, but the frogs are getting active; shouldn't be long now. The trees and hedges are in bud now around here, and the bluetits are in and out of the nest boxes, so I reckon it's spring ! Cheers.

    Was out for a wander with the dogs this morning, and the crocus and daffs are all coming out and the birds are pairing up, even though we've had two days of frost !! So spring is here ! This working season has been cut short a bit by the heavy snows we had, and I was getting rabbits carrying young in January, and lets face it, we're seeing leverets virtualy all year round ! We seem to be getting less and less time to work our dogs; so what is the answer ? Start earlier ? Finish later ? Or just accept shorter working seasons ? Fishing starts on Saturday, so I'll have pleanty to do, and I usualy

    There are nine hunts in Northumberland, and they sometimes overlap. The main hunts around Fontburn are the North Tyne, the Border, the Percy, and the College Valley Hunts. Cheers.

    WXG, I'ts been many a year since I had a Non-Ped, and I know you have had some of the best for quite a few years, so I'll bow to your knowledge of them....... but I've still ran a few of them, and hope to run one or two more !! LOL !! Cheers.

    WhippetxGrey; I'm only saying it as I seen it !! I had Non-Peds in the 60' and 70's and would never knock them; in fact I may get one to race at my local tracks, just for nostalgia !! LOL !! BUT, for all round day to day, (and night to night), working; you're better off with a well bred Lurcher ! The daft thing is; I've heard of more and more owners of pure Deerhounds, pure Salukis and Lurchers wanting to put their bitches to the top Non-Peds...... and I'm sure they will produce some top class dogs !! Cheers.

    I've owned and seen pleanty work over the years ! Cheers. cheers cp, i never seen 1 work, tho they were used to great effect a fair few years ago were i live now Just my opinion mate, but they were/are thin skinned and prone to foot injuries, not the greatest stamina..... but boy, could they kill a hare !! 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 !! You'll soon become proficient ! Cheers.

    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.
