    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

    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!....

    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:

    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

    Nice read, must have taken as long as the drive to put that all together! I like Sussex, plenty of game on the ground and some stunning rolling countryside It really is nice to try somewhere new and test he dogs on something different!

    Hasn't tiny 7 got a litter of pups with about a 1/4 collie in them?

    Hi Rob v good day mate hopefully you can get up there with us soon! Smokey doing okay taken it easy with him really he broke down one night when lamping but after 35 staples it was one run too many but he has come on well since then! Congratulations by the way on your new addition to your family hope all is well? Cheers chap, we are well here if not a little busy! I will try and get north before season ends, would enjoy some off the views and that cheap northern ale

    Good to hear. They do seem to be fast little Merle fur ball! Not has any fuss with long nets either, which is always a bonus as when a dog hits one, it always looks such a mess, and is always timed when you either need the net to do its job, or when your busy elsewhere

    Moll, millet, I know Gaz and jimmy well enough to know you would have had another cracking day and the dogs would have had a good work out and. I doubt claimed some decent rest. Don't bite the bait the site is full of it. As you very well know, we all hunt many ways and different ways and there is no single way to catch the humble bunney.. We should enjoy what suits as and be left to be responsible for our own charges Good to see some quality action pics, glad ole smokey is back running the rabbits, coco looked to be all over them and the terriers certainly looked keen to gra

    Hey up, willow is looking very well. Possibly a bit heavier/ more collie shaped than my Roxy, but then it's always hard to tell from a picture. I see she is good on the retrieve. Is she possessive and jealous over her toys or retrieved items ? Roxy will fetch/ come no problem but very reluctant to hand over!......something we will work on. Been getting her used to jumping of late. Springs over fences. No problem. Not sure on gates yet, however she can clear them going by her wire jumps.... Mind you, she is small enough to go under most gates She looks well, am pleased to see s

    I'd buy a decent lamp dog in. Plenty of pups out there. You putting a big coursing dog that can't handle small fields over a smaller speed machine. The pups could throw a multitude of ways and you pick te wrong pup etc. If your not happy with te saluki grey on the lamp, don't use it. Personally, I find lamping rabbits suits a solid robust dog that can take the knocks of hitting cover and lots of fast twist and turns. Plenty of dogs being bred for this type of work, why add more pups to the Lurcher pool? When you have your own doubts. Much easier to buy in a well bred pup at
