  1. There are too many signs that terrier is in the mix. But for me, what really matters is whats missing in your own dogs, and where will you look for it?
  2. No thats right you dont have to go to Italy......but if you want the best of something theres no better place to go than the source. Again,some folk are single minded others are open minded. True, but what people want and what people need are often very different. I've lost count of the number of times lads have over doggged themselves with a big bullx or saluki saturated top lines pup and ended up with a ruined dog. Had they taken a locally bred "average" dog they would have got on better with it and got more out of it.
  3. If you want a ferrari, you dont have to go to Italy, but most folk would be better of with a ford anyway.
  4. there some in South Africa doing well http://www.luckybread.co.za
  5. if I wanted company, I'd stay at home. Good criac? Just the same
  6. I've used ply before for trap boxes, those on the ground, especially around ponds and rivers edge etc all delaminated. Anybody else had this?
  7. When a roe bucks got his fire lit, he is oblivious to everything but a doe. I've been pulling ragwort in pig paddocks today and twice a buck has wandered down the otherside of the fence, not 10ft away. Tempting.
  8. My preference would be 30" with 3" chambers. The recoil of the 3.5" shells is best left to semi auto's, and 3" have most options covered anyway. From memory the 3.5" chambers also brings increased barrel weight. So may be better balanced with the 28" barrels, which would loose out in pointability on the longer range targets the bigger shells are designed for, defeating part of the benefit of the larger shell.
  9. get a good gundog training book, the principles of mooching are little different from that of a gun dog
  10. looks like an end pin for a long net to me
  11. Has that got a bit of wirehaired pointer in it coverdogs? Looks a bit like it with the markings could be wrong though. Yes Blackdog92 he is gwp x saluki bull grey.Curious as to how you would rate him on fox etc.He just finished his first season and done very well single handed, i never rate a dog fully on his first year but on a scale of 1 to 10 i would give him a 7 on gameness, and on hunting up, marking , and drive an 8 which is pretty good for a first season as i would say i only had 2 lurchers that i would rate as 10 after 3 or 4 seasons. What cross were you running prior to this dog ma
  12. Will do, any ideas on places to go would be great
  13. looks like she thinks its time to stand on your own 2 feet
  14. I'm on a stag do in Barca in a few weeks. Might just take the stag there!
  15. I have found that adding a good dash of bull to any herding dog based type of lurcher takes the edge of the mental intensity when they are not working, without loosing any drive/intensity in the field. It can also reduce the sensitive nature of certain herding dog types. Which makes them an easier dog to live with, which may well be one of the reasons why the collie/bull lurcher has done well for many people
  16. No, but the clue is in the name of the show CLA. country landowners association. Not many landowners like lurchers
  17. I remember James Marchington writing in a review in Airgunner/airgun world that he did this with a FAC theoben gas ram gun, in an article in the 1980's
  18. why would the police buy a 10 year old motor? It's an old pic, saw that running about back in 2006. Never caused me any trouble
  19. Plucky little dogs, Mines pushing 9 now, but starting to feel the knocks
