Thats the best reply you'll hear mate, everyone whos' into their digging proper will have dug to rabbits, some dogs are just too keen, ive dug to a few things, including rabbits and even a rat once, the worst thing to dig to though has got to be fresh air that's happened to me a couple of times...

Good luck with them pups Dfee, let us know how they span out mate...

Bullx's day time deer (PRE BAN)
Rabbit Hunter replied to Hunting Lad's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
You already know my views on this Benj, I don't rate bull x's during the daytime, on the lamp however they will and can deal with most things,IMO a good saluki x will do what most bull crosses can't but thats just my opinion. Ive been talking to dave today, we're gonna put my 'blue' dog over 'meg' next time she comes into season, we'll be taking a pup each, and if there's more you're welcome to one,you've seen these dogs perform a good few times so you know what to expect, should be good alround day and night dogs... -
Sorry to hear that mate, from what you've posted it seemed you were looking forward to entering the pup, hope you find a good working home for him mate...
-
Yep, I'm sure G. will know Wilf, there's not much he don't know about the Wheeler stuff...

What's the reason you're getting rid of him mate??? YIS 'BLUE'

Like has already been said, it's hard enough to breed a working dog, stud dogs/brood bitches need to have at least 3 or 4 solid seasons behind them before they can be bred from, a 2 year old dog is nowhere near the finished article...

Good going mate, like has already been said 'He who dares...wins', we had a dig like that last season, theres a big sett at the top of a bank that looks like it goes very deep, and due to different terrierlads around our area not wanting to put their own dog in the spot it got a reputation as 'undiggable', anyway we had a perfect frosty morning that we thought would guarantee a dig, went straight to the 'big' spot and entered the dog, we turned on the box expecting 10 foot plus and were very surprised to get a mark of 5 foot, after a easy sand dig we broke through to the dog and this very big

I'm in Darlington, I've seen two up this way, one towards Bishop Auckland and one near Sedgefield, hopefully they'll be left to breed for a good bit of sport in a few years...

A lad I know owns it, if its the same dog i'm thinking about, litter brother to CNuttalls 'Casper'???

Just read through that link Andy, it's a disgrace that they can name and shame people...some of the incidents were dated more than 10 years ago...

Been to Driffield pre-ban with a private pack of hounds beating fox and deer for the lurchers, seemed decent land to me...

It's good to see a couple of good working russells and especially ones that throw good stuff, quality...

Good going Macster and a good start for the bitch, keep her hard at 'em mate...

There are plenty crosses what take them week in week out.......Your breed blind I'm not breed blind mate, I would keep any dog that did was what was expected of it no matter what cross,shape,size etc., i'm just saying from what i've seen of all crosses that the saluki crosses have impressed me most...
-
thats some going mate and shows that saluki crosses can take them week in week out ...
-
You are right Reload in saying 'A good deer dog is a good deer dog' and thats very true, but Ive found that of the good deer dogs ive seen, the majority were/are saluki crosses, I dont like collie in a lurcher, I think it makes them 'too' bright/clever and unwilling to take a good hold...
-
A good saluki/greyhound will be the best deer dog you will find IMO(preban) , that is from what ive seen of all types of crosses including bull crosses...
-
I got my copy yesterday and will second what Wilf has said, some quality pics and without doubt the best book Darcy has released so far, a truthful account of the dog showing the good and also the bad points of it's working career...good going JD...
-
