  1. at 20 to the shoulder she will be ideal for lampin. i know you cant always predict where a rabbits going to run but i try and position myself between the rabbits and the hedge that they are going to make for so they are running back towards me and not away from me out of the beam. just before they get to the hedge bottom just give the lamp a bit of a shake it seems to just thow the rabbit off track a bit and gives the dog half a chance to pick it up. also sheep netting is no barrier for a rabbit as they run thruogh it at full speed. all the best mate hope this helps.
  2. what were the hedge bottoms like mate .whenever i take a pup out i always take them where theres good tight hedge bottoms or even better stone walls. 90percent of rabbits are caught just as they slow up for hedge bottoms even by experienced dogs. good luck with him mate.
  3. SHE DONT NEED TO SEE ANYTHING TILL SHES 10 MONTHS OLD MATE SO CONCENTRATE ON HER TRAINING AND HOLD HER BACK TILL BACK END OF WINTER THEN LET HER SEE A COUPLE. SHE SHOULD BE AS KEEN AS MUSTARD BY THEN MATE.
  4. IVE HAD LURCHERS FOR 21 YEARS NOW .MY FIRST DOG WAS A COLLIE/WHIPPET/GREY CALLED BLUE ME MAM GOT HIM ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY . MY GRANDAD USED TO KEEP LURCHERS AND GREYHOUNDS AND ALSO MY UNCLE SO ALWAYS BEEN ROUND THEM AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER.

  8. THE BIT I REALLY ENJOYED WAS HAVING A FRY UP IN THE MORNINGS FROM THAT TESCOS NEAR THE COURSING FIELDS. THE FIRST WATERLOO I WENT TO WAS EITHER 90 OR 91 WHEN SAM THE MAN BEAT ROSSA ROCK IN THE FINAL. WENT EVERY YEAR FROM THEN ON .REALLY MISS IT.
  9. WAIT UNTIL HES 11 MONTHS AT LEAST MATE AND EVEN THEN PICK AND CHOOSE THE EASIEST RABBITS FOR HIM WHEN HE FIRST STARTS LAMPING.
  10. PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED WHEN YOU GET SOME MORE RABBITS LG.
  11. BRILLANT ITS ALWAYS EXCITING WHEN A PUP HAS ITS FIRST RABBIT.
  12. was the terrier there when you threw the rabbit for the lurcher to retrieve mate. sometimes lurchers dont like retrieving if theres another dog present.
  13. BRILLIANT THREAD VERY INFORMATIVE ON THE SALUKI X. NICE TO READ INDEPTH INFO LIKE THIS BRILLO.
  14. ITS UP TO YOU MATE BUT ON ME SAYING THEY MIGHT BE A BIT HEAVY WE SAW THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THE PUPS IN THAT LAST LITTER THERE WAS QUITE A VARIATION.
  15. IVE GOT A STAFFY MATE AND A RUSSELL BITCH AND I WOULD TAKE THE RUSSELL BITCH EVERY TIME WHEN IT COMES TO RABBITING PURELY BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY ARE BRED FOR UNLIKE A STAFFY. THE LURCHERS DO MAKE GOOD GUARD DOGS MATE IVE GOT A PUBLIC FOOTPATH THAT RUNS PAST MY GARDEN AND WHENEVER ANYONE WALKS UP THERE THE LURCHERS GO MAD.
  16. WONT THEY BE A BIT HEAVY MATE.
  17. IF YOUR GETTING A LURCHER MATE I WOULD GET A TERRIER TO WORK WITH IT KNOCKING RABBITS OUT THE HEDGES. IF YOU GET A STAFFY OR ENGLISH THERE NOT REALLY ANY USE OUT ON THE FIELDS.
  18. MAX WAS DYNAMITE MATE AND BLUE WAS COMING ON A TREAT MATE SO YOUR DEFANETLY DOIN SOMETHING RIGHT ITS JUST A CASE OF FINDING THE RIGHT PUP TO REPLACE HIM. IM SURE IT WILL COME ALONG THOUGH STAN.
  19. STAN CANT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPEND TO BLUE THIS MORNING ESPECIALLY WITH MAX BREAKING HIS LEG A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. GLAD TO HEAR YOUR GETTING ANOTHER BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE DOGS WERE A CREDIT TO YOU AND I KNOW HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOUVE PUT INTO THEM MATE.
  20. LOOKS A CRACKIN DOG MATE BUT THE SUMMER ALWAYS SEEMS TO TAKE FOR EVER WHEN YOUVE GOT A DOG READY TO GO. ALL THE BEST WITH HIM MATE.
