Happy Christmas all on here

Dog on the right.

Ch Jihad…maybe all mouth and no trousers,what do you think about modern dogs being strong on bite but no gaminess,or deep gaminess,just chiming in,nice dog by the way,got one here I think has a bit of Wheaton in him,passed the grand sire though who was an Irish import,I had a litter of five out of him last year and one pup was pretty much a smallish Wheaton.Atb

Taiwan and Mexico,we’ll into them but I believe a law against them has just been passed in Taiwan

Always been interested in this breed,the gamebred ones,all the people who own the real stuff say they are a noble dogs,I do only listen to the old timers though who say patience is the biggest thing missing in ownership today as with most things today is got to happen now,immediate or it’s not regarded as worth the effort involved,which in this breeds case means devastating mouths but questionable gameness,whereas gameness used to be the foundation.So much you can gleam now with podcasts forums etc about this breed.Put this photo up before and like most photos it doesn’t do the dog justice,I c

DC don’t know how to paste what you just said but are descent Lurchers whatever the type not placed instead of sold?seems to keep the descent terriers where they should be despite the obvious merry go round of dogs sold ,not a working dog breed that hasn’t been affected by money,here what your saying about the bad press knock on as well, but I like to think that no matter what working dog breed there will always be a core of dogs that will always and should be out of reach for shall we say daydreamers even the ones with right intentions still daydreaming ….you can’t outlaw a plant…and you can’

They seem really square in the few photos I’ve seen of them,and one photo a dog stood out that was much taller.atb

Tazy that came over here

Cheers Chartpolski,working lines more robust would you say,racing line more refined,or not much difference?

Read on here someone saying they would rather pick a Whippet out of racing lines(high prey drive) than working lines,words to that affect….any other opinions on that?

Appreciate the feedback on the Tazy dogs,some great conditioned Whippets there,any tips on conditioning them ?atb

Cheers Gilbert,pure bitches can come at just 22tts from what I’ve read,which makes a handy sized allrounder,if that’s what they are.

Cheers Blackneck,just you that’s heard about them,rare…

Certainly not trying to muddy the waters of an outstanding thread,just understand there trying to get the breed international recognition and sounds like a more robust Saluki type,my knowledge of lurchers consists of what I’ve read on here..help? and personally I own two terriers but may add a whippet or something due to the ever increasing cost of meat?

Just seen a video of this one jumping out the back of a van in Essex,nice looking animal ,black and tan,next video was of it tied into another runner so I guess the lads aren’t fecking about with there investment,just recently had read this thread and the knowledge on here makes it a good read,figured a few may have seen them or worked them,it’s interesting that DNA.profile has them as separate breed from Salukis,or have I just swallowed the sales pitch ?atb
