even if they couldn't they were always advertised hjkc text talk for selling lurchers lol Lol good way to describe/lie about a dog, but not as amusing as the modern terms lol. Kin el, if someone was to use all the modern terms to sell a dog, they'd be writing half a book, not adding a few letters! Lol

I wouldn't say that this dog is a stocky type I'd say it was racey my dog is of similar build, I mean thicker bone bit more muscle mass heavier build Its Hardly Sooty or lord of the night is mate He should of went to spec savers lol Don't think I've even seen a pic of sooty sam, but I thought he was supposed to be strong for a whippet?!

Think I've met a few of em!
-
And she don't waste energy yapping! lol
-
Only cos it got whippet in it! lol
-
As long as they don't waste energy yapping! lol
-
Lol, kin el poshpikey's question has taken a bit of a turn! Witches, lamps, broomsticks, next thing you'll know will be some turnip saying he saw a whippet catch a hare! Now that would have to be some sort of witchcraft!
-
I suppose they were easier to catch as witches rather than hares, oh yeah, and modern lamps weren't invented then either! lol
-
Why weren't hares burnt at the stake then?

Some interesting types there, but the type in judge2010's avatar certainly got my iterest! -

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but jeez that is one UGLY dog!
-
Just hope it doesn't start yapping, those beddy x's are f**kers for it! Just kidding mate lol

I would suggest sir, that you grow up. What's all this 'being fair etc' bollox got to do do with 'hunting'? Hunting is not sport or whatever, it always has been and always will be 'HUNTING'
-
Take your daytime dog and build him up like any dog on the lamp and they are more than capable.. Take one out and blast them run after run from scratch and they will fade like any dog would.. They can be fit but are not used to the different workload.. Most dogs would not struggle up here in small fields with stock wire and stone walls. Seen 3/4 grey 1/4 saluki take 7 hares and 31 rabbits solo and caught double figures hares with two dogs.. It was purpose bred daytime dog but got lamped regular.. As you say giro, and have said, it's the 'variables' which make most o

Good to see a bit of friendly banter on here again . Definitely think hares run better, faster and longer in the day, especially with the sun on their backs, after a full breakfast and a sports massage lol
-
Lol fair point sir , been a while since someone called me a muppet on here lol
-
Ok lol
-
Yeah, not saying they are as hard as daytime hares in general, but plenty of areas around the country on the lamp they can be extremely hard to catch. But as you've pointed out, there are certain variables to be taken into consideration
-
agree 100% people just look for a excuse saying there just as hard at night lol Yeah, my dogs were all slow bags of shite lol. Funny mind, these same dogs caught plenty of daytime hares as well as lamped ones. I'll say it again, some areas lamped hares can be extremely dufficult to catch with any dog. And by the way, I never have and never will keep a slow dog
-
Great pics, scenery and some very very nice dogs, but those feathery eared things?! Uuurgh lol
-
Some of the Irish lads do, oh yeah, and the guys with birds of prey, so I'm lead to believe
-
That makes sense sir, also the fact that in many areas, especially lamped, hares will and do run just as fast as in the day, use the same tactics or whatever to escape and know exactly where they are heading, whether they've not been feeding, are slightly peckish, or full as f**k! Plenty of areas where they are as hard to catch on the lamp as in the day. And to the peole who say different, they couldn't have ran frequently lamped hares. Sorry pp, I know it wasn't originally a lamping question/post, but it bothers me somewhat when people say lamped hares are easy etc etc, most areas they certa
-
Lol, I can see where this thread is going. Life's too short
-
Don't agree with that at all. I've owned and seen some very fast dogs over the years that I was sure they were about to pick up some hares, only to see these same hares pull away, on the lamp!
