    Yeah pretty standard that, I’ve had a couple myself that used to get so wound up you had to take them out for a spin before they settled in . The worst I’ve seen personally was owned by a young lad in our circle , we let my dog out on a hare and when we got back in it had pushed itself through the mesh factory fitted dog Guard on my vans bulkhead. The dog also gave mouth like nothing else I’ve heard on its first run until it had settled but when it did it was a serious tool at its job , I stand by what I’ve said , all this secret squirrel omertà regarding wheaten crosses , they ar

    Coursing bulls are a type of lurcher as identifiable and as unique as a coursing dog imho

    I’ve seen bull x trying to bury foxes into the ground mate . and that was just scrappy mean red flyers from out west Cumbria with no fancy names I don’t know about that , crab fair or flimby show would have dogs for days that could turn their hands to most stuff

    Yes and no. i was never a foxing man , i would run and kill but more as an opportunity to test the dog and a bit of crack than anything too serious . I like a bit of bull in a running dog for the snap and the brain they have and it just tidies up a dog imho One of the best what I would call spree killers lol was our very own @WILFdog who could get taken out to a place with heavy foxes and be guaranteed to leather them back to back with minimum respite between. I believe he was heavily saluki blooded and was as handsome a dog as you could wish to kennel. conversely a dog that y

    Absolutely mate . I wouldn’t contemplate buying a pup from parents I’d never seen or at least had someone I trust vouch for . And I certainly wouldn’t touch anything ever that would cur away from a balled up fox down the beam or couldn’t bend a daytime hare. I only ever had one dog pull up on fox and that was a bull to lurcher cross bitch who was supposed to from very good foxing parents and she flat out pulled up and that was that. Luckily for her I made her reasoning that She was only 22ins and it was distasteful anyway, she was more than adequate in other quarry aspects. Besi

    Well I’ve ready the below books and can recommend them all if you’ve more than a passing interest in the topic. loyalists by Peter Taylor , If your interested in that aspect of it , heavy paramilitary leaning . A mirror book to Taylor’s republican book. the people with no name by Patrick griffin, a very scholarly book , i got mine from the British library in London when I was working there , ( don’t ask ) get it for 25 quid eBay , a good read and the title is taken from the fact that in America they were labelled as Irish , when they have struggled to not be Irish , most of their
