  1. How long do you think a pup would last if it was agressive, 9 months is no age to have fully developed its character, give it time and you will see a change. Not being funny mate but i wouldnt have an agressive dog, worker yes but agressive no chance.
  2. Ive had whippets ranging from 16lb to nearly 40lb and my experience of them is as follows, when i was racing them the racing weights were 16 to 32 lbs now the bigger dogs ran from scratch and the smaller dogs were given a yard per lb advantage eg a 25lb dog was given 7yards over a 32lb dog and so on, now the bigger dogs would nearly always gain yardage on a smaller dog. The point i am making is that quite often you think a dog is faster than it actually is, due to its running style, ive seen whippets that looked like they were turbo charged when they were coursing on their own, but could look
  3. No siren on it just the wurzels blaring out on the pa pretty scary eh.
  4. How do you feel about the goverment having access to your text messages and calls, and why the sudden rush to push this through. Seems strange that they need this information in the name of national security, but over 100 hundred files suddenly dissapeared relating to a goverment paedophile ring. big brother tactics or what.
  5. Im out every night with my grandson and my dogs the x box 360 is now defunct, strange the other day he was congratulated at school because he was the only one in his class that could identify a burnett moth something i showed him on our rambles. The anti hunt brigade are generally totally clueless to whats happening in the countryside but sad to say they are gaining popularity with the equally clueless joe public. Its our duty to educate the younger generation to the benefits of field sports and to the conservation of the countryside and the heritage that is being systematically destroyed by
  6. Been waiting for someone to post a pic of their beddy whippet with a dead red deer stag and then those immortal lines. SHOT AND RETRIEVED, a truly modern internet term.
  7. How in hells name did no one manage to persuade the authorities as to this sickos activities. With all these alleged victims crawling out of the wood work i find it hard to believe he could not have been stopped. Worst case scenario is he will never be convicted officialy of being a paedophile due to his death, sad situation, but i wonder how many people are out there are guilty by association. No wonder i am obsessively protective of my grandkids.
  8. Been told that graham at fishing basket is the man to ask 01482 445284 hope this helps.
  9. One of the best dogs ive seen was owned and trained by a woman, obviously collie blooded but that dog did its best to please every time, but you need the right material to start with, and the rest is up to the owner to put the time and effort in
  10. I do plenty in winter mate ok dogs may peak then, but the point i am making is how many let them deteriorate in summer.
  11. Loads of wrecks on the charts but most of them are broken up or non existant. obvious wreck is the ss canada off withernsea, Better wrecking north of filey to whitby some deep water wrecks produce a good catch anyway tight lines mate ive had some cracking days off there.
  12. See a lot of posts on here asking if you work your dog all year round or how to get your dogs fit, now excuse me but are the people asking this question seasonal couch potatoes or what. I couldnt stop my dogs working no matter how hard i tried, their always fired up mooching in summer. Of course i dont lamp them ground i run you cant see bugger all below 4ft when the crops are up. But i do ask the question do you give your dogs enough exercise in the summer, and what level of fitness do you require of them, mine are the same all seasons due to the fact that i put the time in every day. And the
  13. Listening to a local radio station in the car yesterday, the subject was are you proud to be british and if you are why?. Some of the depressing opinions on there were enough to make you cut your wrists. So what are you proud about in this country, for me the freedom of speech a thing we take for granted, the history and heritage and traditions we have. The eccentrics in our culture that make the place so colourful, who does not feel proud when you watch the red arrows perform. Also knowing you have the best armed forces in the world, sadly being shat on by the wimpiest goverment, that seem he
  14. You will be glad to know that the finish is in a great place the bay hotel in robin hoods bay one of my favourite places if you like your ale check out the laurel and the dolphin well worth a visit, good luck any way some great scenery on the walk.
  15. i found the observer book of dogs in the cupboard the other day from the 1950`s by jesus has the stamp of dogs changed in 60 or 70 years And the reason is all in the name of fashion, breed standards that greedy breeders follow for a quick buck regardless of any health issues that the dog may incur the kc should be disbanded, i put this on a par with what the nazis did by trying to breed the super race and ended up with retards. The working dog should be bred to work not ponce around some show ring with a clueless owner spouting about the so called abilities of the dog they own.
  16. Pretty scary mate seems to be the norm these days some brain dead b stard owns a dog that has been obtained as a an ego boost or to give them street cred in their moronic stupid opinion, and some poor old sod has paid the price of their stupidity, christ it sickens me.
  17. Dont forget the amazing full english, kippers, arbroath smokies, belly pork, egg and chips, hp sauce basically anything thats considered bad for you.
  18. Bet you geoff burrell can trace his line of dogs back to that skeleton.
  19. There was always stories of how he ripped denny lane off and had him on a basic wage and no share in the royalties, seems there may be some truth in it. Agree on one thing ray davies was a talent, still listen to 20th century man 40 plus years on and still relevant.
  20. Fact is mate had that dog slipped that loop it was more than capable of killing her, i havent lumped all staffy bull types in the same group i am not a staffy hater, what i hate is the dicks that own one as a fashion item, or or as an ego exercise, most of the pricks round here that own them couldnt punch their way out of a paperbag.
  21. Laughable folk complaining about the poor akita being strangled how many of you would have done anything different would you be so brave with that thing gyrating on the end of your arm, i think not. True the wardens had about the same IQ as the subhuman mongs that owned them dogs, but bear this in mind how many attacks are attributed to staffys and ebt. pit bull types seems to me that some people on this site have a degree of sympathy, and refuse to face the facts that these types do have an underlying high degree of agression in their nature.
  22. Dream on mate i hope your right, i was a member of old yks and rydale, but realistically can you see the ban being overturned.
  23. Said it before 69 hares killed by greyhounds in a seasons coursing by one club, and its banned, hundreds killed in the name of sport or pest control. Like being on a firing squad wouldnt want any part of it.
  24. Really sad news, people like her who arent afraid to voice their views are becoming increasingly rare these days, she should be admired for fighting her corner and ours in the hunting world. RIP
  25. Right mate so you say your new to the game, my advice would be to get one pup, to train two at the same time takes experience and loads of patience, bond with the dog and dont rush it do your homework, and take the time and effort to train it properly starting with the basic commands, then retreiveing, and then the more advanched training. long haul ahead, but worth it if you want a proper lurcher not just a slip and kill running dog.
