LEGENDS........ Dogs dont make themselves legends, its the owners account of the dog or some one elses tales. Remember that. All that should count is your own measured values and your own realistic requirements. I bet there are plenty of heroic Lurchers out there, it doesnt need to be a measured quantity, and given the variation of game and terrain across the uk, unless you have walked corner to corner and the land inbeteen with that dog, then it can never be a truely measured quantity..... so in reality a dog is only ever gonna be a "local" Legend. I am not sure its a wise mov

Tracing lines is brilliant. I like to know, and admire folk with the same desire! But don't breed just because your dogs have got a certain line your claiming credit from that was generations back. There needs to either be some consistency in the lines performance or some good recent performance! I don't get why folk quote dogs that are years gone by when advertising their pups! I am as guilty as the next man, fallen for the same trap, but between the diog of legend an the dogs of today from one line could have seen several cart horses in between ! Keep things moving forwar

Hi, His about 23" Mix of all sorts, bitch: beardie/grey x beddy/whippet sired by a border collie........so I was told....... He does ok for himself and me Don't clip him but strip his fur by hand over the summer or when he gets a mess...... Don't take long.

They are very differnt dogs Jimmy, Very different. I har Smokey done well for himselfthis weekend just gone.

Thanks. No, no relation at all.

Been mouching about a bit. Seanc was good enough to take a few snaps of the pooches as they went about their business. As you can see, the dogs are crap posers, and professional puppies! Got a good summer ahead

Hi, the pup is out of a red first cross collie grey bitch, and sired by a Merle Bitza's with all sorts in there. My guess would be she's about 1/3 collie with some deerhound feather and saluki ways!....

Thats bloody brilliant Moll. I bet the action packed session was fantastic to be amongst.

what a cracking looking tyke. best of luck with the youngen

Thanks, was a good and productive morning. re photos, just stick them on photobucket and paste the links over. never hit a limit.

he certainly is eye catching.... Good to read that the ferreting trip went to plan...... young dogs can certainly complicate and destract the hunter from the ferreting game.... ...... some days, its nice to be able to confidently think on, and know the "trouble" is worth it..... all the best with the yougster

Great account of the session, and some stunning views The Dales certainly do hold some attraction.....and not just for rabbits. Been looking throught this new section of THL....... Dales this, Dales that..... more Dales, wet Dales... Tomo and the Dales..... Are you on THL commission or something? Got shares? :whistling:

TOMO, i spent most of the session lying in the grass snapping away....... and let thedog do the work. old hegey has his own sie to worry about we dont all have a net man or bag carrier ...... so i did have a few sprint moments....i call it rabbit bolt circuit training, almost like a blep test dave.... i just been off all week! back on monady till end of march. might have to book a wednesday

Headed over to Hedgey's to give him a hand on the burrows. It was a warm morning so not the most comfortable of ferreting days and we expected to be plagued by small conies, but i had expressed that it was better than sitting at home, and i was keen to continue Roxy's development. We set up nets in the normal fashion, and i placed a few purse nets as i have previously to let Roxy experience these tools of the trade. Ferts went in and straigh off, the rabbits started bolting clear of the hedges. These are clearly the deserters of the coney race... .....as once they had gone, the ferts we
