    Striving for the best is no bad thing. It's why you do it tht needs thinking about.

    Aye, I did that lot. I have three paddocks fenced off at the moment. She's settled in well, a good mother.

    It just amazes me how some folk are so so clueless about something they think they want.

    It's that time of year again, endless wandering through the woods in the sunshine. . . . . . Here's a couple of photos of the gang from today. Thought I'd check in on Big Mamma and her babies on the way home. . . .

    I just read that back and I sound pretty aggressive! I was on the phone and typing at the same time, so it's a bit curt lol. Nothing meant by it matey. And for the record I totally agree with you, if I was after a bull x. . . . for doing what a bull x is for. It wouldn't be a bull x whippet. . . . . not in a million years! If I wanted a nippy bull x. . . . . i'd be looking for a pup out of two fast paced dogs, with good acceleration. . . . . rather than going half whippet. And If I wanted a whippet. . . i'd get a whippet (which i've got). However, if that's what float

    I wasn't telling the lad to get one. And I wasn't suggesting one was better than a racy bull x grey. But he DID ask for a SMALL lurcher, to work along side his BIG lurchers. . . . And was wondering which would suit, bull x whip or beddy x whip. . . . I was just commenting that i've seen one decent bull x whippet. And funnily enough seen one decent beddy x whippet. For mooching/lamping/ferreting. . . . . take your pick i'd say. I wouldn't pick either

    Fair play, I only saw one, and she was sister to a bitch JP kept. But like I said, did her job and took up half the space lol.

    Apart from personal preference, and desire. . . . .I don't really see the advantage of a lot of whippet x lurchers that are 1/2 or 3/4 whippet, working wise. . . . in comparison to a straight whippet. If getting a lurcher, i'd always be looking for some grey blood, to bring the size and the top end speed up. Having said that, if it's what you want, get one! And for the record i've seen a wicked little bull/whip, one of powells pocket rockets, and she was a 21/22 " powerhouse, and nippy as feck! And good at her job.

    Wouldn't mind seeing what a bull/beddy/whip would be like? Seen some very handy beady/bull/greys.

    Point ears gang HM?
  11. Ideation
    Mine neither.

    No. . . . they let it go out of the car first and then run it ragged and then put it back in the car. . . . That gazelle was probably run again later, not a mark on it after being 'pulled down' by the cat? De clawed and de toothed? Or just well trained?
  13. Ideation
    Should make some really handy dogs. . . .

    I think what this op is getting at is when you see discussions on here about x line of bull x, and one of the original dogs in the line comes up, it always seems like they have had a fair number of owners, and folk chip in all the time seeing they saw the dog when so and so had it etc.
  15. Ideation
    What a pussy.
  16. Ideation
    The coursing lot always seem to have a half dozen new pups every year Every spring its the same thread. . . . pups for next season! But you are right It always amuses me that so many of the bull x 'legends' have had many owners and been passed around the country. . . .
  17. Ideation
    So why not a lamper? Half sight hound, with the acceleration and speed from whippet and stamina and top end from saluki. . . . . with the durability and brains of the collie. Collies ain't exactly slow!
  18. Ideation
    Yer, that's it, it's just a case of trying to slow down the arthritis!

    At the end of the day it's normal to feel bad. Just like i'd hope someone would feel bad if they ran over one of our lurchers. . . . . even if they didn't like dogs. If you were out of the way and the cat was off her property, there is not much that can be done. However, if your dogs jumped into her garden or something . . . . . you will have more trouble. I'd never walk my dogs off a lead in a built up area. One wrong move. . . . and they are f****d. Cat could have run out into the road in front of a car etc etc etc. Also you never know what's around the corner. . . . imagine if y

    Not really a show, more a market place Very small. Some of the running dog showing was quite comical.
  21. Ideation
    Define 'far too much'? For what? Pure collies do a job in the hunting field, and so do reverse x's. . . . . but it's down to the man who runs them, the land they run and the work their are expected to do . . . . . that'll show if it's got too much collie. . . . At the end of the day, them pups don't have any more collie than a 1st x collie/grey.

    So it sounds like Inan kept it? Or did he send it on?
  23. Ideation
    It's always the same place I get it, which is in a fenn set beneath our main grain store on the shoot, in a tunnel, beneath where the grain comes out. So it's a major rat area, and sees a lot of different size rats, so you're right they are either playing chase, or one is sitting on the plate eating and his mate jumps on and tips it.
  24. Ideation
    Yer i've had it, always young uns, so i guess the second rat really ruins the firsts dinner.
  25. Ideation
    Yer, you looked in the pen and there was just this big red lumper sat in the middle, looking you right in the eye. He very nearly never left wales
