    Handy looking dog that Hannah Is he half grey with beddyxwhippet?
  2. Bigshrimp
    Supersam, always a pleasure to see those dogs of yours
  3. Bigshrimp
    Which cross would you choose as an allrounder and why?? What would the be the advantage of one cross over the other (game, terrain, handling, temperament, etc.)??
  4. Bigshrimp
    Two real beauts Any pics of them running?
  5. Bigshrimp
    Great looking dogs these two What's their make-up?? Some real lookers on this thread....let's see more.
  6. Bigshrimp
    Did the job pre-ban I suppose?? Got any pics you wish to share?

    Same question I asked with no replies also: http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=148929 I would have thought this could be a good allround cross....but I guess it's not too common.
  8. Bigshrimp
    No experiences with this cross?? If not then let me ask you this, what would some saluki in the mix add (or detract) compared to the a 1/4beddy x 3/4grey ??

    Very smart looking dog Jimmy! Enjoyed the story and the pics very much. Sounds like both of you may have found what you are looking for.....and it doesn't hurt that he's welcome back at the pub Hope he does the part for you when the time comes.

    Sounds like it should be a good allround cross.....is this a cross that is bred often? What type of land would this x be best on? Any pics of this x would be great....just curious

    Nice looking little pups! Didn't know you could use Dales as tollers?? I would have thought instead of bringing the yote to the gun that they'd eant to chase Got any pics of the parents doing work
  12. Bigshrimp
    Strong looking dogs there fellas From the pics SD's dog looks like it took on more of the Beddy while AA's bitch favours the grey. Good luck with their progress and looking forward to some more pics in the future

    Excellent pics MW!! Love the look of the blue dog....what's his make-up?? Which one is Smokey??

    Bump.. Sorry, but just want to get this last question square in my head Why do lads decide to use the longer links if the short ones are more useful in stopping them from running down holes? I notice most pics on here are of dogs coupled to the longer links.
  15. Bigshrimp
    No joke CH, I was seriously considering writing something about that...but didn't think anyone would get it and wonder when this daft Canadian was on about ....since we're on the subject....Sid the Kid came through for us this evening
  16. Bigshrimp
    Cheers for the honest answer Busterdog Then why do lads decide to use the longer links? ....just to give the dogs a bit more room when coupled for a good part of the day?
  17. Bigshrimp
    Sounds like a great time! Very nice looking country too. You seem to have all bases covered in the back of that truck: hounds, lurchers, terrier and gundogs
  18. Bigshrimp
    As earth dogs are very game dogs, do you ever have a problem with dogs fighting each other while coupled? Also, when would you choose a long link vs. short link couple?? Does this depend on the size of the dogs?
  19. Bigshrimp
    So mainly tradition??? ....but still useful enough to be practical?? Why hasn't it caught on with the other types? YES!
  20. Bigshrimp
    Why are terriers coupled? ....what advantage does it give to just having them each on their own lead? Why are terriers coupled as a rule but the other types aren't (lurchers, gundogs, etc.)?? I told you....very basic question

    Just wanted to get an idea of how often you lot get out in the field (hunting or training) with your dogs. I know this will change throughout the year as the weather and hunting seasons change. I don't have a hunting dog but have a dog I compete with in a protection sport (Schutzhund). We compete in tracking obedience and protection so quite a lot of exercised to teach (and srew up ). We train 2 weekday evenings and Sunday mornings during the summer, and Saturday mornings only during the winter. With a pup some sort of work would be required at least once a day for shorter perio

    Topper, sounds like you have your a kennel full Can someone tell me what this means.... Sh 08, what age is your bitch?? Is she an adult or pup? (edited: just saw your post in the beginning of this thread and pup is 6m old) 13" tts should be a nice size for earth work.
  25. Bigshrimp
    Excellent summary and comparison Topper Really appreciate you shedding some light on this for me and nice to know you have mixed kennel so you do have experience with all in question (except the white dogs weren't mentioned) A bit of translation issue on my part: What does "the lakies are the wind up merchants" mean Also, what is the chest size of the beddy's you use for earth work.....my understanding is our earth's are generally tighter than yours so this can be a very significant issue (generally require a chest size of 14" or under to consistently work without getting
