  1. Just a suggestion, seeing that she's not too big and is already a useful worker etc, with the amount of greyhounds that you irish lads have over there, couldn't you try to find a smaller size greyhound dog with similar qualities to your bitch and use that to cover her and keep back a couple of pups to run on as you would a lurcher? Probably take you a while I know, but could be well worth the wait
  2. iv had a few like that. this one thinks it a lurcher lamps an ferrets an dosnt hang about at gates good recall an broke to stock..not bad for a greyhound Sounds pretty good already, not lacking much at all id her out for a hare on sunday an there nothing she cant handle walked to heel an covered plenty ground...iv had worse lurchers Doesn't seem much point in putting anything else over her really. She sounds a cracker

  4. I'd say pick a pup of the cross, type or even purebred that you actually really like, cos if you don't actually like it you won't get the best out of it
  5. I wouldn't do it on busy roads but where I live I've got a circuit I do that's a mix of relatively quiet village roads and much quieter country roads. Plus I like to be all done and dusted by 7.30am at the latest, so I get most of it done when there's not much traffic about. Just a tad curious as to what time you get up? And why anyone who's not a competetive courser, and even them, needs to 'bike' their dogs anyway! No animosity, just curious like early as f**k by the sounds of it lol Yep lol

  7. Yeah, still a beddy x I know. But not strictly beddy x whippet. Some nice types here though, really like that one of rake's
  8. Don't really want to nitpick, but it's not really a beddy x whippet, although still a nice dog
  9. What you've just said there fella makes complete and utter sense
  10. Not had a pure whippet for a fair few years now, and considering the fact that I aint getting any younger, when it's really cold and wet, even with lurchers, I'll be doing something more sensible
  11. Class dog and man. Never get fed up of these posts
  12. That black and white dog pup, have his feet improved or bothered him in any way? Nice looking dog
  13. what species of cat was it rascaland what was your mate doing out with it ? lampin Big cats roaming around this little Island of ours?! HEHEHE It was a long way off. Was real dark in colour. Not as big as a panther type cat but much MUCH larger than a moggy. Watched it jump a 5 bar gate from about 3 foot away and clean over the top and over the other side. Not disbelieving you, seen a few things that have had myself scratching my head over the years

  15. !! How dare you use such blasphemy sir?! Lol Beddy x's don't yap
  16. seen thousands of rabbits that weren't expecting it! Thousands?,i thought apart from me and Tomo nobody had seen that amount of scutts?. Think again
  17. As morton said, plenty of curs watch /wait/follow what's happening
  18. seen thousands of rabbits that weren't expecting it!
  19. So these saplings you bought that were shite were they actually from Hancock or some one else who had bought them as young pups? Here's the thing to me, if someone hasn't got much of a clue with dogs, it could be from the best blood and the best breeder in the world, they'd still not make much of the dog. PLENTY of these type of people about, and yes, I include myself to a certain point when first starting out, but, some people never learn
  20. I've kept lurchers for close to forty years, none of em directly from Hancock, and most of those were shite too!
  21. @ sailor30 and gibbo1973, why do you not still run deer/greys? These and deer/grey x collie/grey are my preferred types
  22. I really don't see the problem with getting a pup from Hancock, at least you're not being fleeced of £7-900 for a jackuhuahua or puglington or some other utterly ludicrous crossbred piece of uselessness, which there are plenty of people up and down the country breeding! Maybe not on the same scale as Hancock, but breeding enough litters to make themselves a very comfortable sum! I've not bought a dog from there myself, but had one years ago that Taffy was the sire to, I took PLENTY of hares and deer with him, he was very fast and powerful, fabulous dog. Two of my mates bought dogs directly o
  23. ffs God no horrible snipey nosed, whinnying fuuckers They look ok and more than a tad useful to me lol
