nice dog mate nd great pic's keep the them coming top class bud,how's that dog bread? :thumbs:did you want it that small?or was it just luck? NO IT WAS JUST I HAD HORRENDOUS INJURIES WITH ATTEMPTS AT FEN DOGS OVER GREYHOUNDS. LOOKED AROUND & DECIDED 2 SPREAD MY NET IN DURHAM 2 FIND & BUY A BROOD BITCH. GOT LUCKY, MOTHER WAS SUPERBLY BRED, SHE WAS JUST OVER 23 INCH, SALUKI X SIRE WAS A CAMBRIDGE CUP WINNER & ABOUT 26inch. THIS BITCH WAS 23inch, 1 BITCH ONLY MADE 2Oinch. SUCH IS LIFE HERES THE MOTHER HERE. DAUGHTER OF CASINO.

THE DOG THAT GIVES 100% COMMITMENT EVERY TIME IT RUNS, REGARDLESS OF GROUND OR CONDITIONS WILL ONLY BE LUCKY 4 SO LONG. I HAD SUCH A BITCH; 3 PINFIRES IN 2yrs & EVENTUALLY HAD 2 LEARN HOW 2 STAPLE A WOUND FM A GREYHOUND DOC FRIEND THE COST WAS GETTING RIDICULOUS. ANY ANIMAL THAT CATCHES REGULAR NEEDS HEART,THAT BELIEF IN THEMSELVES TO GO THAT EXTRA YARD. THOUGH I BELIEVE THEY ALSO NEED A FORM OF INTELLIGENCE FOR THE DOG 2 WORK OUT HOW 2 RUN THEIR CHOSEN GAME WITH SUCCESS & ALTHOUGH THE DOG IS GAME IT HAS ENOUGH SENSE TO VARY ITS GAME PLAN ON A CHASE & NOT CRASH IN2 A SITUATION THAT

ADDERS ARE PIT VIPERS & THE CLASSIC ARROW SHAPED HEAD & S FORMATION OF THE KNECK MEANS A STRIKE IS IMMINENT. IVE BROUGHT MY OWN REPTILES OUT OF HIBERNATION BUT THE COLD WEATHER WE HAVE ,EVEN AT NIGHT HAS ENSURED THEY ARE REMAINING SLUGGISH. TRUE MOST SNAKE BITES ARE ACCIDENTS & MOST WOULD RATHER AVOID CONFRONTATION. HERES A PHOTO OF `A BLACK MAMBA, AN AGGRESSIVE SNAKE & U CAN SEE THE INTENT IN ITS LOOK WHEN I TOOK THE PHOTO, ALSO A KING COBRA FOR SOME INTEREST.

IM AFRAID I AGREE WITH THIS. MOST WOULD BE HIBERNATING AS MOST REPTILE`S DO IN THE COLD. SEEN A TERRIER DIE IN CAITHNESS DUE 2 AN ADDER BITE. HOWEVER THE OWNER DID MESS ABOUT BEFORE DECIDING 2 SPEND MONEY AT VETS & IT HAD TAKEN A BAD REACTION 2 THE BITE. ADDERS ARE A PIT VIPER BUT DEATHS ARE RARE FM BITES,AS FM OUR SOUTHERN SNAKE RELATIVE THE GRASS SNAKE... SOME VETS JUST TELL YOU ANY OLD NONSENSE 2 BE HONEST, I ALWAYS QUIZ THEM 4 INFO ON THEIR DIAGNOSIS SO I CAN RECHECK IT & WRITE IT DOWN 2 REFER 2 LATER SHOULD IT PROVE 2 BE RELEVANT

HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING MICK WHO WAS A VERY GENUINE MAN. HOWEVER IN MICKS DAY ORGANISED COURSING HADNT TAKEN OFF AS IT DID IN THE 90`S & THE COURSING SCENE BECAME SATURATED WITH SALUKI CROSSES WHO WERE MORE SPECIALISED TO THE TASK. HIS BREEDING WAS WELL SOUGHT AFTER AT 1 TIME & MEN SUCH AS HIM ARE SORELY MISSED. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE 2 HIM HE WAS WORKING ON HIS BOAT & FREELY ADMITTED 2 ME HE WASNT BREEDING 4 HIMSELF BUT 2 SIMPLY SELL THE PUPS THAT WERE DECENTLY BRED, SO THERE MUST BE SOME OF BREEDING AROUND?? RIP.MICK

Iam sure she will come into her own mate,, yeah i know you aint the type of bloke to get rid of a young dog on a whim Matt,, i will pm you my number mate as i think its changed since you had the pup,, . WONT HURT 2 GIVE HER A BIT LONGER. YOU MAY END UP CURSING MY ADVICE IF THINGS DONT WORK OUT 4 U, BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR & SAY "i done my best by her" & THATS WHAT BEING A DOG MAN IS ABOUT. TAKING YOUR DOG & MAKING THE BEST OF ITS POTENTIAL. THEY CANT ALL BE WORLD BEATERS BUT THEN IF THE DOG SUITS YOU & ENDS UP DOING A JOB THEN WHO CARES WHAT OTHERS THI

TAKE IT YOU HAVE HAD THE DOG CHECKED 4 INJURY???MAYBE YOUR DOG HAS JUST WENT STALE & OFF IT`S RUNNING, IT HAPPENS 2 A LOT OF 1ST YEAR DOGS, BUT MOST OF THE MUG RABBITS SHOULD BE GONE BY NOW & IT DOESNT MATTER WHETHER SHE HAS THE SPEED OR NOT, ITS WHETHER YOUR DOG RECKONS IT CAN CATCH THEM OR NOT.IVE SEEN MANY 1st YR DOGS LOOK GOOD EARLY ON THEN LOOK ORDINARY WHEN THE GAME GOES UP A GEAR. DOGS ARE INDIVIDUALS & THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL LEARNING CURVE.. I WOULD LEAVE HER OFF FOR A BIT & BRING HER BACK WHEN THE RABBITS ARE DOWN A BIT. PERHAPS YOUR DOG JUST LACKS CONFIDENCE OR IT MAY

I can relate to alot of that and alot of what you say is so tru, shame things have changed so much never the same but i guess we have to adapt the best way we can,atb to ya "Adapt or die" AS THE SAYING GOES IM AFRAID. JUST HOW TO GO ABOUT IT HOWEVER IS AN ISSUE IM STILL STRUGGLING WITH

at last good on you mate working mans dogs at a working mans price and they are very well bred you should not have a problem selling ( giving them away ) them, all the best with them :clapper: by the way for what its worth i think lucky is in the best 5 dogs i have seen I AGREE WITH YOU THERE BIGEARS. LUCKY WAS A TRULY SPECIAL ANIMAL TO WATCH

THE FACT THAT IT IS J DARCY PUBLICATIONS PROBABLY MEANS J DARCY IS RISKING HIS OWN CAPITAL ON HIS BOOKS. DECENT BOOKS & PRINTING OF QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE BUSINESS. INITIAL PRINT RUNS WILL BE OF 1000 IN MOST CASES. THE TRAVELLING & RESEARCH PLUS THE TIME & COST PHOTOGRAPHY TAKES TO DO PROPERLY, ALSO MOUNTS UP. FINANCIALLY WRITING & PUBLISHING ON RISQUE SUBJECTS SUCH AS RUNNING DOGS IS A GAMBLE IN SUCH TIMES AS THESE...ANY MONETARY REWARD FOR J DARCY WILL NOT BE HUGE. PERHAPS WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING MORE BOOKS TO BE WRITTEN ABOUT OUR CHOSEN PASSION IN LIFE &am
