    It wasn’t lack of food. She was just one of those types… didn’t carry any weight, poor coat and skin… probably because she was 3/4 greyhound.. I’m not saying they were all like that as she’s the only one I had… even a days ferreting with brambles etc, she would come back with scratches all over her.. her back legs were nearly bold to be honest.

    I had a 3/4 grey 1/4 bull.. wouldn’t have another.. looks like an RSPCA case after a while.. coat too thin, skin always getting scratched… not enough fat around the body, so just looked in a sorry state if I was lamping 2/3 times a week. the best ones I’ve seen have been bull/grey to bull/grey for many generations, so you couldn’t really work out the percentage. I’ve seen a pure bull work too… that was the perfect terrier man’s dog for what it was bred for..about the size of a red lab if you didn’t really know what you were looking at.. probably wouldn’t catch a bolting fox, but the own

    I’d give to mates, and charge a decent price for the rest… I don’t go to work for free, and I won’t give pups away that’s cost a small fortune to rear. But there shit loads of pups out… it’s the buyers choice, he pays the money and get the dogs he wants, or pays pennies and gets what Evers available

    I honestly don’t think a bone man can fix that. Otherwise professional athletes would have it done, rather than surgery. A slipped disc can be serious.

    This is the litter sister that I kept back… I’d definitely have another.

    These are 2 saluki/bull/grey that I bred a while back.

    It made a change not to be lathered up in mud, or climbing up dyke sides… as far as Lincolnshire ferreting goes, today was pretty good.

    I like to get them at 8 weeks.. I’ve found any earlier and they don’t eat as well away from their litter mates and dam. That’s just in my experience. They eat, but they don’t stuff their selves like when they eat with a full litter.

    This dog was bred by ginger French.. he’s was a brilliant dog.. there’s not much I didn’t do with him. He excelled on hares, obviously being a saluki cross, but he took fox, deer, lamped the beam perfectly, ferreted etc.

    I’m a responsible dog man.. and mine live in doors.. a lot don’t though, and a lot after a nights lamping get put in the kennel, as others have already said with the replies on this topic.

    I think in general, dogs kept outside can offen suffer with any bites, cuts etc going unnoticed. Like what has been said…hard nights lamping, chuck it in the kennel.., if you walk it before work it’s probably still dark… come home that night his foot or face is swollen… inside you notice things a lot quicker

    Nice.. that’s a long way from me, don’t worry, I’m not just gonna rock up ?. I go to Yorkshire a bit. I love the place.. especially as I live in the fens… don’t get me wrong, we’re tripping over game, it’s just not the best looking countryside to go walking around.

    Stunning.. where’s that? Yorkshire?

    Nice ??

    Hope she has a good recovery. I couldn’t imagine my dog being a mile away… that’s a totally different style of hunting isn’t it? I live in Lincolnshire, and a mile away would have crossed roads, dykes, and be unheard off.

    I think what makes muntys hard to catch is the way they will smash through cover to escape. Get one out in the open (which is rare) and they are easy for most dogs… all the CWD I’ve encountered have been in the open, like where you would see roe. They have probably been the easiest deer to catch IMO as there arnt as fast as roe, and don’t use the cover like a munty. I’ve not had many, but I think every CWD I’ve slipped on, I’ve killed.

    I’ll buy it off you if you don’t like it… half price ?

    Sabre are good, but as with all LEDs, there light weight and the battery last ages, but the light is not as good as the old 50/100 watt lamps.,ideally you want to pair it with a thermal..

    If you’ve not let him of the lead… you could be mistaken prey drive for ‘being a little b*****d who just like to pull and be a twat “ ?

    I suppose like most things, the terrain and location makes a big difference. I’m on the fens, and much like hares, the roe here can take some stopping.. I’ve had big dogs that haven’t even got a bend out of a roe on a decent slip.

    I haven’t read all the replies, so I apologise if this has been said… big cats are so secretive, yet all the blurry pictures we see posted, are of supposedly big cats, walking across an open grass field behind someone’s house., in the daytime ?

    She’s a great little marker is the beddy/whippet
  25. moonlighter
    The beddy cross’s I’ve seen, seem to love foxes… if working cover, they will choose the fox scent over anything else.
