  1. Thanks, just interested to hear what peoples prefered types are/were. Some people are just too paranoid for their own mental wellbeing ( dotty! ).
  2. :feck: :feck: Open forum, very constructive!
  3. I've ran and used most types of running dogs over the years, both purebreds and crosses, to catch all sorts of quarry, especially edible stuff, and have my own preferences. Just interested as to what types you guys would choose, and why? Not looking for what you think is the best for specialsed tasks, just personal preferences.
  4. I've owned and seen purebred whippets chase and catch rabbits into and through some unbelievably thick cover/brambles without seeming to hardly slow down. Also seen em kill rats as quick or quicker than most terriers and tackle practically anything that moves! I honestly think that most people who say whippets are fragile, weak or not game or need a terrier or whatever crossed into it have never even seen a good whippet at work. Properly bred, sensibly entered whippets will outwork most lurchers at the majority of tasks that the most lurchers are put to. I've kept running dogs of most typ
  5. Will be running a c/g x d/g from next season, as at the moment she's only 7 months. Chose this type as the ones that I've seen have been very good all rounders ( day and night ), with one or two of them being exceptional on certain quarry. Will put up pics when I've resized em. Pics of my pup, I hasten to add!
  6. That's wrong with with most it of all nowadays , too many idiots who are just looking for numbers. Wasn't like that when I started, and as far as I 'm concerned never will be. I don't post often, but this kind of crap really pisses me off!
  7. I've got one. Dam is first x D/G, sire is first x C/G. Both worked regular and taking all quarry day and night. She 7 months old on the 21st. She 26" tts now, easy to train, bright ,agile, fast and getting stronger by the day. She's the most promising pup I've had. I'm quite pleased with her. Will get some pics up soon.
  8. I spent 5 days in hospital after I got kicked by that hare's brother! Liar! I will match you on the fens. Or I will beat you up at the next show! GGGRRRRRR FTB I no lie, honest! Anyway doc said I can't attend any shows until my injuries have cleared up! :wacko:

  10. Well done. Nice dogs, is there saluki and bedlington in your fawn dog?
  11. Is that the reason the then? I need to leave a gap between last letter and emoticon, like this
  12. I know lol, but when I've posted before they weren't appearing:wallbash: I cant get the hang off it either
  13. I know lol, but when I've posted before they weren't appearing:wallbash: see what i mean:blink:
  14. I think this pc got a mind of it's own!
  15. To everyone. How do you add emoticons to your posts/replies? As you can probably gather, I'm not the best with computers! .
  16. oops:icon_redface: very nice:yes:
  17. Fair play. Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago:(
  18. Very good and sensible post:yes: . I myself have recently aquired a deerhound blooded pup from a member on this site fursty ferret, dh/gh x cg/gh, and at 16 wks she is already just over 21 tts so I think she's going to be a fair size, also apart from her coat she's very deerhoundy. I too live with countryside on my doorstep and the pup is with me everywhere I go and will be given every sensible opportunity as she grows and matures. Thanks again for the pup ff:thumbs:
  19. Very nice bitch mate. Like the stamp of her. Good luck with her for the coming season.
  20. Seen plenty of lurchers under 23" take hares night and day, in all sizes and types of fields. Owned a couple of good ones as well. As I said in a previous post, I'm not saying they're as hard to catch as in daytime, given law, but at night in certain areas hares can be very difficult for any size of lurcher. And I've seen and owned some very fast dogs struggle at times with them.
