RichyWales replied to pencoed hunter's topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
Dont know of any, aren't they usually off season? I'd be up for going to any though -
Caerphilly mate, you? Yeah been waiting bloomin ages for em to start cutting... theres no where for em to hide now muwahahaha! Have to be up there a lot next few days, hoping to catch Mr farmer doing the cutting to ask permission, always a mission trying to find who's land it is around here theres so much of it...

I got both types and I'd go for the larger boned any day of the week, my boys 23tts, sire: drakesoak top of the bill, sooty sam, oakbark lines and hes built like a brick sh*t house, much more hardy than the others if your working em. The finer ones are better in the turns but not in the same league with speed and strength. Even took a bad kick to the face from a realy big horse and came out of it with a nothing more than concussion and a black eye. Would have killed the racing types outright. He plows through hedges and doesn't hurt himself where as the racing types are always getting nic's a

stroke of luck there, nice one
-
Yup, hes a tank! hes pure whippet tho got all his papers, dunno how he got so big... Too much food and walkies or something LOL! Think the luchers slighly over 23", not mesured her shes a big old girl too *Edit* Old pics but they show off his guns
-
Cheers mate, its a bad day to be a bunny when they're all out lol Only really interested in working the two big ones tho but the brindle whip with the greyish face works but still a bit young and the other brindle turns on a six pence and goes like shat off a shovel
-
Thanks, 9th one downs a great shot if I do say so. Yep mate they're all mine, I get lots of funny looks with em all trotting behind me lol Got an italian greyhound pup back at the house but its too small to run with these nutters. Blue ones a Lurcher (grey, collie, whip mix) Fawn with blue nose is my "big" 23" whippet (my pride an joy), The rest are normal size whippets

Class, made me giggle

Nice dogs mate, love that brindle
-
See your point mate, "show" wasn't clearly defined tho And I was simply expressing a personal preference with the coursing. I do agree with what your saying tho Maybe the organizers of the events to have split "show" categories for working / non-working dogs, wouldn't be too much bother to fire off a suggestion email to upcomming events. That way the real workers get shown together and the show dogs aren't mixed with em... impossible to police tho, even if you demaded photo's of your dog behind a big bag of rabbits it could be faked. How do you prove its a real working dog not just for
-
Im not really on about lurchers specifically, more the ped breed's. The missus is into showing and the type of dog shes into theres a closed circle of snooty toffy nose sob's that think they're the only ones who should own the dogs and show them. Had numerous runnings with em. The breeder we're mates with says theres all sort of back handed dealings go on like "Im judging this show your dog will win, when you judge the next show my dog will win, swapping pup's for prizes" all sorts of shady crap. Dont want any part of it myself, coursing I'd wanna watch because I love seeing the dog doing wh

I'll say what Ive always said.... I'd rather be up the fields with my dogs than at a show or bitching on a forum. Rosettes or rabbits... know which I'd prefer to take home. Dont even care if they catch, just like seeing em running their nuts off and enjoying themselves. Personally tho cant bloomin stand "most" show folk, whats the point of having a fast athletic dog if all its gonna do all its life is walk around the roads on a lead, be pampered and pose in a ring... poor dog I say, I'd rather be hammering around a field chasing stuff. Too much competition just attracts assholes. I k

Here here! If your gonna do something sensless like that at least try and be useful

hahaha cool!

Think I had an email about that.... deleted it because it was SPAM!

Yeah had 4 off ebay now, can get some real bargins and all mine are still going strong after 5 years, missus saw one at a dog show last weekend, £20!

I had a pair of the german parra boots, tough as nails Wish I could get hi-tec magnums cheaper, fricken awesome boots (£45-£100) but should be able to get british issue for nowt. Anyways theres always a call for this sorta stuff, I can only get boots, trousers, shirts and jackets, sometimes water proofs if lucky but its pot luck whats being chucked out at the RAF stores. Wouldn't say you'd have a problem selling this stuff tho chunk, theres always fleebay too, sell 24/7 on there. Hit the markets on weekends and should do well. Could set up a website to sell it, I quit my job as a prof
