I really can't see what uses a lurcher that lacks pace can really have.Unless you enjoy owning a lurcher that doesn't really catch much. A few of the litter I bred ended up 22" and looked quite racey but we're still miles slower than the 2 bull greyhound bitches I owned which were only 23 and 23 1/2 inches and weighed more.I just don't think whippet blood carries over well when crossing it with bull blood.I know a few people that have had them and all said they struggled to make up the distance on anything.

I bred a litter years ago about the same time a certain terrierman from S Wales started breeding the pocket rockets.The dog I used was a big 22 1/2 inch dog out of all that Laguna stuff to a very athletic 20" 44lb bitch I owned from some of the best blood that had been over here through the 80s and 90s.All the pups lacked pace to be serious running dogs.A couple of lads had fun with them and they certainly had plenty of bottle but they just weren't quick enough for lamping rabbits or foxes.

I've warn glasses full time for over 25year since I was 23 and should have warn them since I was 7 but never did.My long range is terrible as I have bad astigmatism in both eyes which also meant that contacts were a no no.Then the last few years I've had to have varifocals as my close up reading is also f**ked now.ive got a couple of nice pairs of hand made frames which once you add my prescription both came out at around 700quid.Ive recently changed to really good independent optician after taking my missus there a couple of years back and realising hoe s**t the service is in the chai opticia

I dont think you'd get a 10 for a kg.My pal got caught with 1 1/2 boxes and 17grand and copped a 7 and even though he had legitimate books going back 20years showing how everything he owned was paid for as he'd always worked full time plastering and was very low key and not flash at all.Small house,8 year old Audi and a 5year old work van.They still put a 80grand confiscation order against him and it was only luck that his books were so straight and spot on that they didn't take his house which there was talks of.

200k and a few kilos and only got that.Who'd he roll over on?

Last time I heard bollo**s like that it was a wally down near Gatwick that was churning out ABs and then went on to produce SA boerboels claiming he had ABs that could catch foxes and fallow deer.Anyone who's regularly run both of them for any amount of time will know that's a load of crap.Stupid thing is the fella actually had some decent quality animals but then expected to be taken seriously after spouting s**t like that.

People talk sh*t

I cant see a dogo doing anything over here that a well bred bull/grey wont do just as well or better and I can't see one adding anything to a lurcher that a decent game bred bulldog won't.

I bet they'd soon stop pushing boundaries if the reaction they got was a smack in the gob.Soppy looking pair of c**ts

What the fact that one judge gave it to Fury?

Really.Them days are long gone when Thailand was full of old men looking for a cheap brass.Theres so much to do and beautiful places to see out there.Id say a low percentage of people out there these days are out there for sex.

My girl is the same mate.Selective mute with all but a handful of people.This is round my pals house,Shes known them for years and the most they can get from her is a nod or shake of her head.But their dogs and her are inseparable from the second we walk through the door.Her school got her a counsellor who comes in once a week who brings a dog in.They couldn't believe the progress that can be made just by letting her have a dog to stroke and fuss over.

Mate even as recently as just before lockdown I had a filling redone after a part of a back tooth and an old filling fell out.A few days later I was in agony and went back to the dentist so they X rayed me at a cost and told me they'd trapped something in there and would re do it after the weekend .I told them no they wouldn't they will be taking it out.They said ok we will send you an appointment later to have it removed at our other surgery.Which they did for 10 days time.So over the weekend I was in so much pain I got an emergency appointment at a different private dentist to have it pulled

You probably don't see turks with crowns etc because they get decent dental treatment growing up.My dentist I have now is Bulgarian and she told me that all my fillings I have(every single back tooth)were all unnecessary.As why would any kid need every tooth filled before the age of 11.I also had teeth removed before I was at secondary school which she said would have been unnecessary and actually caused more problems.Better quality work for a cheaper price,It's a no brainer really.And it's not just Turkey.British dental work is more expensive that pretty much every country in Europe.
-
I know a few people that have had work done out there and all said the practices out there made UK practices look like something from a third world country and the treatment they had was second to none and less than 1/4 the price of over here.Me and my bird have decided we might go and get checked out when we're out there in a couple of weeks.
-
Your right I wouldn't just walk by and watch some c**t bullying a young girl. But if a couple of fellas were having a set to in a boozer or in the street and a couple of girls decided to go poking their noses in then that's their lookout.
-
Same as mate.If it's got f**k all to do with me or mine I keep my nose firmly out of it.Why go jumping in the middle of something that's got nothing to do with you and risk getting sliced up or something nasty squirted in your face.Especially in London where it seems to be the norm to walk about with something I your pocket

Not that day mate.Had to put up with just Hares

Don't think I'd ever met anyone quite like Mick before and doubt I'll ever meet anyone quite like him again.I can remember getting up his place early one morning for a run and the wind feeling like it was gunna cut you in half when we got out the motor out in the middle of the marsh next to his cottage.Mick came strolling out to us in bare feet,dungarees and a chequed shirt with the top 3 buttons undone.He stood and had a chat for 10mins and asked if I thought my bull cross bitch could kill a fox on his marsh.When I said she could catch them anywhere he went in and got his jack Russel bitch an

Spent a bit of time with Mick in the late 90s.Was introduced to him be a mate of mine Chris who'd had dogs from him since he was a teenager when Mick came down to Kent to buy a generator from Chris's dad.First time I met him he was staying down here in his Van as he had a little boat on a creek near me and went out into the swale for 3 days on his tiny boat with 2 dogs,His old lurcher Swiftny and a little Jack Russel bitch.I had a neat little bitch that Chris had produced by accident out of a brother/sister mating from Micks breeding who was so obedient and easily trained but only good for rab

They don't start off bad.Theyve just not been loved and allowed on the sofa for snuggles enough.

Nice one mate.At that rate it's a few extra meals and drinks at the end of the week compared to the rates over here

Nice one mate.

Most places are offering around 35 over here at the moment

Learn to trust the dog mate.They know more than what we do.One of my pet hates has always been blokes trying to send their dogs down holes or encouraging them into cover like they know better than the one with a super sensitive nose on the front of its face.
