Thats all very well if you have a 4X4, a quad or the right mentality. . . . . . . so many don't.

The guy sounds like a c**t. May he have a shitty lambing and always be looking over his shoulder. . . . .

Be more impressed if they carried it out . . . .

I had a terrier recently for about half an hour. Got brought it as it had thrown the towel in and would no longer drop to ground. . . . two digs later it was going home haha.

I do like the look of your little plummer mate, you should have some fun with her Ive been offered a couple of beagles, but might be a bit much.

Don't have any photos to hand, but we've been slowly putting together a little mooching / bushing pack. Beagle/Teckel, Beagle/Plummer, Springer/Pat, couple of collies and three or four terriers. Should have a good bit of sport with a couple of lurchers or a gun on the outside.

A lurcher is a dog of mixed breeding which has sighthound in it. A long dog is a dog of mixed breeding that only has sighthound in it.

Who Is The Craziest Lurcherman On Thl?
Ideation replied to jukel123's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Ive met a few people of THL and have found that the ones I thought were going to impress me. . . . fell well short. . . .and the ones I had never heard of, and didn't even know they kept lurchers. . . . were the really impressive ones in the flesh, its amazing who lurks in the shadows. This isn't meant to be a dig at anyone by the way. Andy defiantly knows his stuff, has lived the life and walked the walk, and an interesting path he has trodden, and I'd love to have a walk out with him and pick his brains about a huge range of subjects, not only dogs. . . . . the man is a hell of a photog -
You ever tried a red LED head torch bosun? I got one last season and it's a real useful bit of kit for the things you mention. Plus saves battery on main lamp. I might try one Gaz, not heard a bad word said about em but i suppose i'm just old fashioned and used to a filter. The lamp i got off Dai is great but it still feels 'wrong' not attached to a wire, nor carrying a battery over my shoulder! I know i'm set in my ways and slow to change! I always wear a head torch lamping now. . . .. bloody handy for all kinds of things, especially as it's 'hands free'.

Went out with one of day's lamps the other night. . . . . . . .big fields. . . . . .no problem. Never let us down all night.

Self employed Shepherd. . . . Ive done a lot worse!

That one went to the game dealer and then on to Germany apparently. As did the rest, bar one, which will be split between freezers. The dogs had all the heads, hearts, livers, kidneys etc.

We have a bit of trouble with the fallow and the fences so when 15 popped up in a field of our turnips Monday eve, they were bushwhacked. . . . . 9 down. But this big lad ran on into some woods and was no where to be found. I was chuffed to bits after someone else looked for two hours and had no joy, and Gwen managed to track him down.

Did a bit of blood tracking yesterday morning with the little hound. Mission successful!

Had A Little Mooch This Afternoon With My New Bushing Crew. . . .

Cheers mate. She's a lump! Most certainly got a good jacket on her! -
Had A Little Mooch This Afternoon With My New Bushing Crew. . . .
Ideation replied to Ideation's topic in Bushing Dogs
Yes, very good to have the piglet back in the kennels! She was totally non-plussed by some ratting this morning. . . . but knocked a few bits out of cover this afternoon! Sadly the collies weren't quite quick enough lol. -
If I could find another one like this, maybe slightly bigger . . . . . and a bit less f***ing mental. . . . i'd be a happy man.
-
I think I may have solved that!

It's owned by a member on here, he got it as a companion for his wife..... The dog is around 22", and I reckon there was a bit of bull in the jrt. It's getting on now and one eyed but still plenty capable!
-
Yes...... I was agreeing. It's what makes lurchers so interesting. I know of a jrt x whippet that is a good deer and fox dog. But you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it!
-
And the amazing thing about lurchers is that some people have a lot of success killing multiple foxes a night with a collie. And others have a lot of success hunting big open moorland or forestry with a bull x. That's dogs for you!
-
If the bitch needs "improving upon" should we be breeding from it? just a thought. Surely trench.... That will Keats be the way until someone breeds the perfect lurcher...... Every generation should in theory be an improvement on the last .....

most of what you've said or asked Iv said above in a reply. I'm going off all round lurchers and this isn't being a dig to bull x as I do respect what Iv seen them do myself.The guy asked why isn't there more collie grey being bred and why bull greys , then I asked why tough dog thought bull benefit a collie grey, was a genuine question. For rabbit hare deer and foxes to the average person I would say a collie grey would tick the boxes better than a bull grey. I'm not arguing collie bull greys aren't good, Iv only seen two. Both were shit, but that's only two dogs. You seem to think that I'm

Somewhereyourenot - Don't take this the wrong way, but how old are you? And second question. . . . .. how many good bull x's have you seen work? You've obviously seen some decent enough collie greys, but are your comments on bull x's based on any genuine experience? I used to be a little breed blind in some ways, I do like a good collie blooded dog. . . . shit, I've got three fecking collies here! But I've got to say that the mix of bull and collie goes a log way to being ideal for me, in what I've seen. Yer, there may be more to a lurcher for many, than killing a fox. . . .. but
