  1. There's a hunting man in the North who with his small pack of hounds and lurchers accounts for 3 or 4 hundred foxes each season and if I remember correctly I think he told me a few years back that he had 30 out of roofs one year. assuming he would he have guns with him too Neil? The person I'm thinking is the one I was out with doing roofs, no, all with dogs not a gun in sight. Them lads kill 300+ a season. remarkable-long may it continue -
  2. anyone got them from wrapped bales?

  4. Where's it come from mate? A few years ago I recall a fella selling a 1st x saluki wheaton in Scotland I think. but apart from that it's rare to see.
  5. Haha that explains it Sounds like good dog
  6. Well here's a sneak preview of some of the auction books, thanks to the donators, Dave Harcombe and Jon Darcy Keen book collectors will have noticed "Extreme Lurcherwork" - a VERY rare book indeed. See you all tomorrow.
  7. Auction shaping up nicely, books donated by Dave Harcombe, Jon Darcy, DVD from Andrew Edwards, a cracking fox mask, lovely walking stick, fox nets, rabbit nets, a painting and lots of other things all in a good cause.
  8. The food here is always good and this year the boys have excelled themselves - and good value too great day out
  9. forgot to ask what do you mean by stock broken atb john you'll need to know if its got wheaton blood in it
  10. didnt you breed litter while back mate outta that bitch related to my old dog?
  11. A lot or "regular" vets are found wanting.I'm lucky than my vet is also the vet at the local track.... he knows running dogs and also does a lot for the greyhound trust.still, he's mad as a sausage!!!!!! Matt you cant put a price on a good understanding and sympathetic vet
  12. its hard but worth it. There used to be more inbred lurcher strains about years ago. You would see some families like peas in a pod.Breeding properly isnt easy. Ive said it before but if you cant put pups/dogs down you shouldnt be breeding anyway,its not for you. If we had never practiced inbreeding we would never have got pure breeds.still plenty of line breeding among the racing/showing seen that still going on but wouldn't think there's many that get put to sleep No they get sold
  13. end of day what we see with naked eye is a small % of whats going on inside so to say we are linebreeding/nbreeding using stuff with no faults is impossible faults will show themselves eventually
  14. there's good chance you'll lose size in the bitches by generation inbreeding
  15. likewise mate but there was only one rough bitch and she was a smaller type - she's made 22/23
  16. yes mate she is excatly same way bred but 31/2 years younger by the way we still thank our lucky stars that you helped locate that dog, as he has been a real good un and still going well. owe you a pint.
  17. off slip alongside pack of hounds, and a bit of mooching locally might do bit of lamping with her
  18. thanks , be 18 months in September so a nice age to try them
