  1. wouldn't want to guess at that dogs breeding. I bet there's allsorts in it
  2. Put a few dozen golden orfe in in the first year. give you some idea on how well they do. easy to spot, dead or alive, and give any clues to predation. If they thrive, stick 200 head of mixed tench, roach and rudd
  3. looks like he's peeped in the wrong yard this time
  4. I put tench and golden orfe in mine. Dont go mad on the numbers and they shouldn't need feeding
  5. I think thats just a case of evolution John. I personnally think that there are now better dogs to use when creating a collie cross, than just greyhound what about to a coursing type dog,? ive seen few colliex greys x saluki geys great dogs , good brain, nose feet, and not so manic as normal collie x .? I would have to agree there Ray. seems to give the physique of a quarter bred collie without the detriment to stamina. also the game sense of proven saluki x's goes a long way. I also like a bit of terrier blood in there, as it seems make them less complicated to deal with. But th

  7. I do like that! still got plenty of growing to do, I'd be tempted to up its grub a bit to make sure that physique is fuelled up for its potential future

  9. Once, after much begging, let my ego get the better of common sense and allowed a local lad put my collie over his grew bitch. Despite my concerns over his temperament. The litter produced some handy looking dogs, very physically capable, but all but one of the litter were a pain in the arse. The dogs nuts went in the bin
  10. Glad you told me that now. I thought it was some kind of typo, or faulty predictive text! I'll bow out now! Just being honest.............or is it a case of the Emperors clothes...... I wasn't taking the proverbial, It was an honest mistake

  12. 21g through a 28bore are superb shells. The patterns are very good, apparently its to do with the load being square, i.e., as wide as it is tall. I bought one on a whim and was amazed at how effective it was, on clays and game
  13. personally i think there is a difference between the hunting of game and the running of game. there is no doubting the abilities of the greyhound when it comes to running down game, large all small. Reared right they have the opportunities to develop the other skills a hunting dog needs. Is lamping hunting though? In my mind, its the running of game after dark, which is possibly why many of the dogs seen taking large hauls of rabbits taken after dark tend to have a high percentage of running dog. The role of the lurcher requires both the skills of a a hunting dog and the pace and wind of t
  14. Got to find it first. But then thats the difference between hunting and coursing
