    Some terrible people out there,..it sure is a cruel, cruel world...?

    We are all different,..and so are our dogs?

    Nothing better, than when you click off your dazzler, to hear your dog coming back in, nice and steady, bringing home the bacon. Retrieving, by night, or during the day, is an entirely personal attribute, some dogs do it naturally, others do not, and sadly, some never will. After all the care that you have given a young dog, up until this time,...I always feel as though he is saying,.. thank you, Boss...?

    Good sensible comments lads... I know for a fact, that certain coursing Studs can command a high price for their services, and any resulting pups will not be sold cheap. Obviously, when a breeder has paid a £1000 for a lining, he is entitled to ask what he likes, for his pups. I've never mixed in such company, and my lurchers ain't in the same league, so I always try to breed a pup, solely for my own requirements. Once, I have my choice to hand, the rest of the litter can then be placed in other, safe hands. As a pensioner, my needs are modest,..I don't want money,...

    ? Whenever I plan for a litter, I consider two things. Firstly,...I make sure that I've located enough good men, to gift a pup too, and, secondly, I start stocking-up, on Lactol and raw meat. Pups need placing in their new homes, as soon as possible,..so in actual fact, you only really have to feed them, for a few weeks... It ain't really a costly business...?

    Yeah,..buying in a dog, sure ain't cheap these days...?

    I don't think you can better the brass wire for rabbits and hares. As a material to work with, it is incredibly malleable and shapes easily,..it is also great for putting tension into a snare.? The steel wire seems to be popular with the American snare men,....but our quarry species over here are completely different...

    Nice stamp of dogs...

    Good cheap scran,...I used to buy-in, a hundred at a time,..all the dogs enjoyed them,....great days...

    Nice sort...

    That looks really good...

    I've never seen a Salmon head, is there much meat on them? Has anyone an image of one?

    Last time I saw the guy, he was coming down for breakfast, after sleeping over, at my house...?

    I grew up with working sheepdogs and cattle dogs, Allan,...and you are spot-on regarding how these essential animals, are often fed. Our dogs were trained to a certain standard, then passed on to others, for finishing... We also sold sheepdogs that were hill worn on the Welsh mountains, onto farmers in the low-lands of Kent. My family had dozens of dogs and my Dad would never countenance feeding flesh, to a sheepdog... They feared that the raw meat, especially dead lambs, might encourage the dogs to have a chomp... How fecking silly, eh...? Mercifully, times ha

    Those chicken bits are so easy to feed to the dogs, I buy a few boxes in and bag-up a few in separate freezer bags. Unfortunately, whereas, once upon a time, tripes, lamb ribs and chicken carcases were ridiculously cheap, nowadays, ( unless you have a contact), the raw feeding option, needs a wee bit more planning. It's crazy, but when I trained as a youth, I also smoked like a factory chimney, yet, I still got by...and when I was running a team of lurchers, on the lamp, all along the South coast, frequently every night, two weeks on, one week off, my dogs all caught good numbers of rabbi

    I see a friendly face in that line -up,...and a man, with a unique insight into the coursing scene, back in the day...?

    It is a shame if Moochers has folded...? It was one of the first, Hunting related websites, and I met some really good pals, via the site. Facts are, in today's political climate and the bias against the hunting lads, we need all the friends we can muster.

    ? Raw green tripe is a great supplement,.wish I could still get hold of a few bits.?
  19. Phil Lloyd
    Sadly, those days will never return...thanks for posting the pictures.

    ? As in all things in life, you can only go by your own past experiences,...it really is as simple as that. Personally,...I would rather them, "off than on".....

    Dbod, I like to hear that phrase from a man,..."My mind is made up and this is the breed of lurcher I want"...... Having taken a walk on the wild side my self, (many times?) I can only advise you to be single-minded and to remain, steadfast and determined. I wish you well in your endeavour.
  22. Phil Lloyd
    That is sane and sensible advice. If you work for yourself, you need to establish, just how much, you think you are worth... Mole trapping is a diverse occupation, and there are many variables to consider...?

    Good to see some nice healthy rabbits 'darn sarf'...? Well done on your first day ...
  24. Phil Lloyd
    Personally, I prefer to see things, with my own eyes,...and then, come to a conclusion...I believe it is always the fairest way..?.

    I've seen similar Sloughi types when trading in Morroco...tough old critters...? However, the jukels in the images, look to be more akin to the running dogs, from somewhere else...? Thanks for taking the time to post them
