  1. bunny tickler was Rags breeding a mystery too?
  2. but you need generations of good workers and producers to get to where we are now. you say blood is diluted but you take away all the good dogs of the 1970s and 80s and todays dogs would be a lot worse off. Its not the Smithys fault he was bigged up, he could only do what was put in front of him, which I'm guessing he did,
  3. 3/8 5/8 wheaton grey double bred to supposedly very good dog from Yorkshire i keep him at around 65lb but you could run him at 70lb if hes getting plenty of work and good grub
  4. What size is he mate? hes 26 mate
  5. real nice, not dissimilar to one I got here...
  6. that Daryl Pandy in your avatar JD?
  7. Spaniel x sounds better bet to be honest- if they are working bred they should switch on naturally at some point - but it'd help if you could get an older working dog to get the youngsters going more quickly.
  8. do you mean full hounds or hound x's? If you mean full hounds they're a hell of a commitment and need an experienced hand. I know a few people who have managed to get hold of some and ended up losing them and getting into all sorts of bother. you also need to have a lot of permission as it's nothing for a hound to go a few mile on a line. maybe spend a few seasons with a pack and get your head around it all.? Or get bushing type bred to flush but not run on?
  9. yep my mate has a GWP x bull grey, bit heavy but good hunting animal and very tough. they used the dog on a pure grey last year and pups shaping up very nicely. few threads on here about GWP x's over the years
  10. he looked a big lump of a dog, and some genuine old lads on here saw him go and said he was the real deal.
  11. My heart would be in my mouth working that close to a busy road, you must have good control over them
  12. what does one of those do that a purpose bred protection breed doesnt/couldnt
  13. what would the lab add that a GWP wouldn't? Bit more biddable I guess, but anything else? thicker coat and less wide ranging? Id say the pointer would give a decent jacket anyway, my mate has a cross and has good harsh coat. would agree about less wide ranging, I guess that could be a bad or good thing depending on how and what you're hunting.

  15. I went with him to get his sperm tested a couple of weeks ago,he's looking for the right bitch now,he's even having some frozen just in case atb AT what'd he thinking of using him on??
  16. sounds great, did they ever breed him?
  17. nice all terrain,whats he used for?he's used for everything spindolero he works with hawks,guns,lurchers, ferrets terriers,he's 12 yrs old now I think,he knows what your after when he's out lol he's done it that many times honestly the dog is on the ball, the lad who own's him comes on here now and again he could tell you stories about this dog and the lads who wait for it to clear a wood or patch of bramble etc could too atb AToh ye he lamps aswell haha Atb AT thought you were going to say you can dig him too
  18. People tend to cross Bull into stuff that is lacking something in the first place. They think the Bull blood will compensate for whats missing. Personally I wouldnt want to contaminate my Bull/Greyhound blood with the other stuff. the only reason I put another breed to bullx is to get better wind (stamina) a saluki or coursing type dog . I suppose it what your doing with your bullx , if its on a lead most night until it sees its quarry ok , but if its have a lot of runs in a night , bullx with the above breeds is what needed for lot of running If there is plenty of bull in t
  19. hi Keego, didnt go in the end - i took the terriers for a walk and it was such nice day kept walking and time went on. The boys said it got warm and scent was poor. Im should be with him tomorrow
  20. If the dog was that good you'd have no end of people willing to take it off your hands regardless of this fault, its the way of the world sadly.
  21. Foxpack I bet you knocked some out of that bank behind the bridge over the years?
  22. Think one or two members on here saw the dog go.
