Razor is the grandsire to these two here too,they are out of Boots (Razor x Abi) & their dam Roxy is a 5/8 Grey 3/8 Bull who is from a long line of hard working bull crosses the likes of dogs like Hammer,Remus & back to a dog called Shane who was a genuine first cross APBT x Greyhound,the APBT was an undefeated dog called Nailer. These two are both disabled with the bitch Rose having snapped her leg in two places back in February 2022 but she came back from that in better form than she had ever been,testament to her for doing so,she's a real handy animal both day/night,both these are g

My old dog Boots who is a son of Razor is still putting bodies on the ground even though his next birthday will be his 12th,just yesterday morning seen him add to his impressive scorecard..he's totally blind in one eye now & is crippled with arthritis due to having suffered many injuries throughout the year's. He's been a honest,durable dog that has not once thrown in the towel in no matter how tough things got,he's not been the best at anything but he's been pretty darn good at everything.

Yeah that's the same dog bud

Couple of pics of my son's two lurchers this morning when I had them out,the older one is Roxy (dam to my two Bear & Rose) she's a 5/8 Grey x 3/8 Bull the younger animal is Lucky,she's just a pup again out of Roxy,she was the sole puppy in the litter,her sire is a dog called Thor & he like Roxy being a 5/8 Grey 3/8 Bull so obviously that's what Lucky is too.. Lucky will be starting her working life just now,she's been very immature but in the past fortnight the change in her has to be seen to be believed,the switch is firmly on now & she will 100% do all & everything put in fro

On another note here,cold pressed dog food,anyone feed it? How are you finding it? Pro's & Con's? .. online reviews seem very positive but I'd be interested to hear about how working dog's fare on it..cheers in advance folk's..thankyou ?
-
Yeah I agree matey,in the dead of winter when the dog's are hard at it,the weather is harsh I think the High Maintenance food is top class,yes it's 32% Protein & 20% fat I think but the dog's hold their condition well,they recover from their exertions quickly & the dog's love it..I think it's very good for the money & it's made entirely in the UK which is better still ?..the Racer is cracking scran too,I must admit I do like the Alpha range of dog food ?
-
I do run rough ground in the main mate but unbelievably both dog's suffered their breaks on ground far from rough,you couldn't make it up because some of the ground I work them on is bordering on suicidal then when you think it'll be a relatively easy & a safe day's hunting the worst case scenarios happen..you just never know the minute mate,a guy told me over 40 year's ago that every slip you give the dog can be it's last & he ain't wrong I do know that much ?
-
Safe running matey,have a great season & I hope you make plenty of memories with your runner's ?

This is Bear..even after having a broken neck he's still capable of doing almost everything he could before his accident..it's just the smaller ground game he isn't as nimble at picking up as he was prior to breaking his neck but he can still run ok,jumping etc is all good too ..he's a beautiful dog in all aspects,never seen a dog with such a lovely temperament as him,not a bit of aggression in the dog but in the field he'd take on a lion & the rest of the pride too all at the same time ? I know nigh on every lurcherman wouldn't own him as he is after such an injury & being honest back

Bill owned some great working dog's back in the day,top dogman who tested his stock to the hilt..very knowledgeable man when it comes to working dog's,he may no longer be out running the dog's but he achieved more than most when he did,a fellow hunter who I have always respected & looked up to regarding his accomplishments out in the field with his dog's ??
