    It's funny ain't it, but i can remember Billy G. running a big 3/4 bull cross in his Calender Cup comps and it destroying the field on many occasion, and that dog was bred out of Warlock, Pies belly brother... Mates of mine, over the years getting invites out by coursing men, to the fen's and thier bull bloods running really well on those coursing fields. Dogs that gained the respect of the lads that seen em run. And no, it was never their game, but jesus, for what they were, they could run..!! So lets cut to the lampers, those bull bloods that could put 40 to 60 bunnies in a bag, ni

    Spot on Eastcoast... My old bitch certainly came from such a background. My dad came back from the pub with the pup in hand. First crosses, the biggest getting sold off, probably just for a pint or two. The pup came home, was put on the floor and my dads collie cur thrashed it. That old sly bitch hated the spindly puppy and my Mum took it to live with her spinster Aunts, 4 doors up the street. Here she stayed, though very much my dog. She got her own back from that early thrashing, many times over. Because when doors were left open, she'd dart up our lobby, into the kitchen and

    Our Sandy, first cross Whippet/Greyhound. Hard as fecking nails. An avid cat killer that went through a shop window after her prey. In the terriced streets where we lived, she ran cats along the back yard walls, after leaping up off the coal bunkers. She came a cropper many a time, broke toes, ribs and sliced tendons but she never quit on em. Thats me, on the left, next to mum, our Sandy was my first hunting dog and over the years as i was growing up, we caught loads of stuff, from rabbits to foxes. I foolishly retired her aged 15 whilst she was still catching rabbits and she pined away a

    Of course a good rub down before & after graft would be benificial, and i've seen some fantastic videos on the subject. Back in the day on those lamping missions all over the country, it was a case of a few hours drive to your chosen speck, find a field, bail out, walk a few yards along a hedge stand still and call. Then run, hopefully catch and straight back in the motor and on to the next decent field or pair of eyes. Our poor dogs just about had time to shit and it was total stop start for them. Christ, it was tough on them, but the best did it, week in week out. No rub downs, jus

    Forced to turn off this mornings news because of the shite spouted on the dangers of 'the heatwave'... Just bollox, it's gonna get in the early 30's between Sunday and Monday and they are trying to make out the country's in crisis...! Boils my piss... ?

    A bloke I know is a kc Pharaoh hound judge and I once bumped into him talking to a lady who had a stu ning Pharaoh on a lead. I asked him if they could catch rabbits, of course they could, was his answer and proceded to lecture me about how good the breed was at hunting. The lady with him said nothing. I bumped into her a few weeks later, she remembered me and told me the dog couldn't catch a rabbit in a telephone box and, when let off a lead would either do nothing, or run itself into a state of collapse. Either way, the dog wouldn't ever come back and she faced miles of lead walking every da

    I do like an Ormskirk/Lancashire Heeler though. As a kid there were loads of em about, sadly not so many now. And we all knew, never try to befriend one, they had the snap of an alligator...!

    Your dead right about Spinones these days. One of the Rangers on a nearby country park has one. Like it's parents, it's a big, cloddy, ungainly thing. Hardy got a run, or free movement in it. Fecking orrible...

    All i seem to see these days is dogmen and former dogmen advertising bull blooded, balls of blubber puppies these days. It's a lilac/merle/chocolate/lemon drizzle... with the best lines in the world, FACT..! Really..?? Who gives a flying feck.... They are a disgrace, YOU are a disgrace, for breeding with no thought to anything bar demand... Shame on them all...

    Always fed a really good puppy kibble to all of my pups, along with their totally mixed diet. You've simply got to do your very best at that age. For grown dogs I've got access to good raw food, chicken carcasses in the main but I now can get just about anything I want. Kibble is far less important to me or my dogs. My local greyhound supply man is a good mate and over the years I've tried just about every kibble on the market off him but with such a good meat supply, I just buy Lidl's working dog complete. It's dirt cheap, easy to purchase, always available and, even when fed on its own,

    And though i can't/don't come close to Old Phil's post, IMO I can only give my two penneth worth.... Though I've had near 50 years with lurchers, my 'training' in the begining was total bollox... I ran pastoral bred dogs, BUT simply relied on recall, and dogs not 'fecking off' with their catch... Oh, it just wasn't good enough...? Then i got them big half cross bull bred thingys and, 'foolishly' i ruled them with a rod of iron. Thought I 'should' do. Thing was, in my ignorance, they were the easiest most biddable things I've tried to train. And 25 years later I know that was a
