Had a HW97K a few years back,shooting wise it was excellent,really smooth. The only drawback for me was the weight,I found it a bit heavy. Had a go with my mates HW90 on many occasions and never liked it,more recoil than the 97.

They will get a reprieve in the spring and summer.

Yes would be my answer,i've seen them advertised as bull/greyhound 2nd crosses. Most of us think 3/4 breds when we say 2nd cross but in this case they would be 1/2x1/2 bred.

You must have some patience rabbithunter,how long did it take to knit a 50 yarder? Crackin' looking net. :thumbs-up:

It's always been worked out in fractions gnasher16,for example a first cross is never reffered to as 50% collie and 50% greyhound,it's always half collieand half greyhound. It's easier to work out the breeding in fractions the more different breeds you have in the mix, as you just go from halfs to quarters to eights and even sixteenths. For example.....1/4 saluki..3/8 greyhound...1/16 bedlington...1/16 collie..1/8 deerhound..1/8 bull. would be..25% salukie..37.5%greyhound..6.25% bedlington..6.25% collie..12.5%deerhound.12.5% bull. I don't know about you but I think with the fra

Just watched the lampers sporting dogs,plenty of action but the dogs If I had dogs like that I wouldn't be showing them off to anyone.there was only one decent dog in the video the wee fawn coloured whippet/bull.Not one of the others retrieved, they were hard mouthed and a few of them were giving tongue Strictly lamping in my view is a far better dvd.

Above is a pic of my first lurcher[excuse the quality as its a photo of a photo] that I got more than 20 years ago,she was collie/grey x grey/stag. A staghound was a rough coated dog usually bred from a grey/deerhound.I got the bitch at 6 weeks and although I'd read a couple of books out of the library I really hadn't a clue what to expect. I don't know wether it was beginers luck or what but she turned out to be a really good bitch,she had a very soft mouth and would retrieve for fun.She was brilliant at ferreting and had a fantastic nose.Lamping was not her forte however as she was 4 befor

Good question jacob,this could turn out to be an interesting thread. :thumbs-up: I will post my answer when I have more time and after giving it some thought.

I tend to keep the lamp on when calling them in[with the red filter on] I keep the beam to the side of the fox,I can still see the eyes reflecting off the side of the beam. I've tried many different calls but found pursing my lips and squeaking to be as good as any. Once the fox is interested I keep the noise of the squeaks down,I find this encourages them in. However every fox is different,some come in like collie dogs while others take off as soon as you flick on the beam.It's all just trial and error,and you'll have a lot of fun as you learn.

Hope you get the dog back bigdan,and catch the thieving b s as well.

The nets arrived today,it's been a pleasure doing business with you,cheers,Tam.

Are you sure it's his wrist baz,not a shoulder or one of his toes? Is there any swelling in the wrist?If there is stand the wrist in a bucket of cold water for 10minutes 2-3 times a day untill the swelling goes down. The portamag is handy,mine is on every day.

During the winter[colder weather] I'll put a rabbit in the hutch[3 jills] and wait untill it's been eaten which usually takes 3-4 days before I feed them again.The jills get handled every day,and it's this handling that tells me if their in good condition.After you've had them a while you'll soon get the hang of it.
-
I don't know if you've noticed but a lot of the lads in the UK that run their huskies have cross bred them with trail hounds,just as much stamina and less chance of overheating[heatstroke] in the British climate. Has anyone ever used trail hounds to breed lurchers as I think this might be a better proposition.

Had a similair op on a greyhound bitch 4 weeks ago,a pea sized lump was cut off her wrist and 5 stitches put in 20 minutes work,£92.Must say the vet done a first class job. The fact that you're dog is an insurance job is the reason for the ridiculously high vets bill.
-
Have to agree,he does look like a full collie or a reverse three quarter. Foxman is he bred off a bearded collie?
-
You may not have to do anything other than keep their hutch extra clean while their in season, I have two 3yr old jills and i did,nt breed from them last season, all that happened was that they lost some weight for a couple of weeks, i gave them a tonic called collovet, its just a mild pick me up i used to use on horses, you can use it on dogs birds, etc, the reason you have to keep the bedding clean is because during the season the vulva swells up and stays that way because theres no mating taking place, it will go down itself aftera while but in the meantime its at risk of infections, my ji

As good a set of pics as I've ever seen and really clear. As for the negative post Molly,best to ignore it,you know the saying, NEGATIVE REMARKS come from NEGATIVE MINDED PEOPLE.

Think you could be onto something there,the local rescue kennels used Drontal for years then after 4 or 5 years they noticed it wasn't cleaning them out,the vet changed them onto pancure and they had no problems I reckon it might have been the same the other way round.It could be a good idea to change wormers every so often.
