I had a few issues with my Gwp bred lurcher when she was young, she never touched a sheep or cow but would sometimes run alongside them. Until then I thought any stock problems were simply down to the owner not stock breaking correctly. I watch my German pointers when they are young because that breed has been known to go for sheep. Guy Wallace mentions it in his Hpr book " the versatile gundog". I'm always on edge the first few times I take a dog on to the moors or cover filled dales no matter how many thousand sheep they have seen in simple fields near home. Sheep can jump up out of bracken

Hard going today with lurchers and then hawks. The young pointer enjoyed herself in the snow.

Pointing a pheasant Marking a wall

We had a great afternoon out on fourtrak73's land today with the Hawks. We saw good flights over the pointer and bolted a few with the ferrets. My hawk bagged a bonus pheasant and we had an exciting few minutes when rats started bolting from a set. Both Hawks caught one each and the other half dozen escaped into a stream, they are there for another day.

Possibly but she would have to be worth breeding off and that'll take a few years to find out. I can't see me ever having another lurcher, I find it hard enough to work the pointer I have and the hawk. These days I just tag along with mates and their lurchers now and again.

I like her general make and shape, a very agile smallish Gwp. She's got a good head on her for a bitch. The only downside is that she has the more normal coat, my pointer dog has a short wire coat. No big deal but I like the shorter coat.

I'm starting to work my young bitch with the hawk.

The pups are looking good mate, we'll have some fun with them next season.

It was her first time on the lamp this season as the weather has been so bad. We saw some really good long flights but the sodden ground meant she was soon too wet to fly properly. Still it's good fun and helps keep her fit. Hopefully the weather for the rest of the season will be ok. She's only caught 59 things so far this season but I'm not complaining as the flights over my pointer have been great sport and she's following and hunting alongside my young pointer which is fantastic to see after all the problems I've had with her hating dogs.

I had to keep an eye on my Gwp when ratting at night because the rats are always in the steam cleaners or tractor engines etc and he would try and dismantle anything to get to a rat. He will try and climb up bushes and trees to flush squirrels and will spend ages pushing and swimming through reeds to find moorhens. My type of dog.

I'm not sure if I still have the Dougy footage or even if he's on it much but I'll try and track it down. I have DVDs of my bitch ferreting if you want to see her, it doesn't show her at her best which was hunting up but marking and catching bolters when she was young.

Mine was brought up with terriers and from a young age was grabbing hold of rabbits and rats they caught so was sometines a bit hard mouthed. Most rabbits were brought back alive and could have been eaten but when a bit tired she would start to kill them. Ive seen some pointer crosses that smashed rabbits up and others that were very soft mouthed just like I've seen with other types of lurcher. Was she a good retriever pointer? She wasn't field trial standard but brought them back to me pretty well. She would kill and leave a mixi rabbit but I've seen other dogs do that. I've got her on dv

mines quite partial to rolland as well ! amongst other things hes a bit like a 5 st pat though when he starts "no reverse " The pointers are like JCBs when digging rats out lol. My Gwp still amazes me at the angles he can catch a rat at, for such a big dog it's remarkable. I wish I'd filmed him out ratting more.

Turned out well, I did a lot of rabbiting mostly daytime hunting up rabbits with them. They were owned by mates of mine.

If you mean the pointer looking one she's out of a Gwp bitch to Nuttalls Casper.

I did more ratting with her in the last few years, my pure Gwp dog loves his ratting
