    Good post Ray , think i've trod a similar path regarding the different crosses I've kept, i'll never decry the collie x, owned and seen enough good 'uns to know whats what, as you said, good and bad in all crosses but some feckers on here just get my back up, making sweeping statements without any knowlage or fact. Just read that idiots thred on his 8mnth old pup, standing there in his glowing white trainers and posting about dropped rabbits , nice lookin pup too, shame about the 'creetin' holding its lead!

    Whin, to add to the thred you don't have to post any pics. It was/is just a thred about old lines/strains/familys of dogs and they don't have to of come off anyone 'famous' either, just honest write up's about honest dogs.

    Would that mean you were a WW2 greatcoat tied with string and hobnails to go with your little Beddy cross? I do remember one hunter of note wearing a pure white suit to the countryside march, i know it was London but the other million or so were mostley in green, couldn't tell if he was trying to look like a member of 'Shalimar' or 'Randal & Hopkirk (deceased)', eh Chalks

    Interesting stuff Blacktabs, from what i've read when he got his 'Merle' dog it sounded the end of that line he kept, shame too, as by the sounds of it the only thing the old stuff couldn't do was make the money the collie stuff could, when him and Hancock started a 'Dynasty' There was a dog in Liverpool bred directly out of Woolybear (Merle x Fathom) in the early 's, Sonny was its name, big ugly brute, had one hell of a reputation, good all round grafter and iron hard, nasty with it too, got out once and killed a Doberman in a local shopping area!

    I'm sure Dox will reply himself Artic, though you'll find all you need to know in his book, a crackin read

    Sniper, was that a rangey wheaten coloured dog, a real beauty and if so how long ago? The reason I ask is that a Douglas bred dog was in the Ormskirk area about 20 odd years back, used to see a bloke with it regular on my way to work, walking down Holborn hill, he was always trying to hide (unsuccessfully!) a hare or two. Never did stop to talk dogs, he always looked like he'd bolt if a car pulled up and I was always late! But I did find out the dogs breeding from a mate in the town.

    With many Lurchers topics on this forum, we read about the 'merits' of many Bull & Saluki lines, if line, or strain are the right words to use, 'family' might be more appropriate for some, so I was wondering.... Being in this game for a bit, many of the older books, magazines and even advertisements would always mention dogs of ansestry that had stood the test of time, dogs that had come from generations of 'similar producing' dogs. Minshaw (no controversey please!) and Burrell bred stuff is mentioned a bit and if your fan or foe, both have been around for enough years. Hancock is

    Long live the peddlars (I'm in the market for a new mutt )

    I wouldn't have put it the same way but i'll second all of that. The saying is, line breeding is when it goes right, inbreeding is when it goes wrong! Some of the best lines of working dogs come off the tightest of breeding and i'd rather take that gamble than be using a dog that is not quite up to standard. If their aint nothing bad in the parents then nothing bad should come out in the pups! I'd put money down that with the various crosses that make up a Lurcher putting close dogs together would be by the slightest chance detrimental to the pups, though the chances of it happenin

    A mate of mine had a LabxGrey years back, one hell of an animal, he wrote a few articles in EDRD a few years back under the name Greylab.

    The main thing is that your little smiley dog will be back to his usual, 'jump all over me' self soon, nowt more important than that! Never easy parting with such an ammount BUT through your 'planning', to do the right thing (insurance), it'll be with you soon i'm sure. Though, gotta ask, was there a charge for that rain forrest they chopped down for the bill! Importantly, you did your homework choosing and trust your vet and that really does ammount to a whole lot. The dog was saved and as importantly, your family was spared a whole lotta grief... I should know 'eh!!! Looking

    The club is at a bit of a lull at the moment, the secretary has asked me, amongst others, to look out for a new venue (pref in, or around Liverpool) and that is the priority at the mo. As soon as the clubs set up again, i'll post on here with the club night details.
