Where Are You In Your Hunting Desire?
blackgreyhound replied to baw's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
started off with catapault. at 15 in 1970.got a dog gsdxg bred dogs up to mid eighties started to lose my keeness hares were in short supply could not find enough to course .hunting ban made things far far worse .got bit by a deer tick caught lyme desease was knackerd tired underweight night sweats etc.in my fifties so very slow recovery then got bloody shingels.been out with my mates whippets started to feel the old urge to hunt .slowly powering back up to full power.never will be the game there was in the seventies.but hopefully will find something to chase.older and wiser more careful wher -
paulus.i think you are right about to much bull in some cases .this cross is ideal for strenghtening weak lurcher strains.i think in a hailf cross bull you may well get some problems.but it would not occur in every case .quarter bull to quarter collie to hailf greyhound ;quarter bull to quarter saluki hailf greyhound .something on those lines would give you the build and restrengthining needed;to be honest i have not seen any first x bull xg run so i couldnt say if some lack the required speed.it would be intresting to hear from owners of this cross brains stamina speed problems etc

im glad to hear that the bull x is getting the attention it deserves .lots of lads on here think a dog has got to be lightly built .they miststakenly think the heavy built dogs are going to be to slow and not up to the job .some of the bigger versions 27 inch and upwards 75 lbs or more .look great muscular powerful lurchers built for the job .i have seen a few on here and looking at the build of these dogs you can see they are not the sort of dogs thaht are going to break down or be lacking in courage. combine the prey drive of the greyhound with the hardiness and toughness of the bull and yo

bunnys .thanks for the offer .i think one should turn up from henlow fairly quickly hopefully.if not i will contact you.

bunnys .when you say as fat as a bullock.people need to understand what you mean is the dog is a bit overweight .it does not mean its built like a bullock/. i got my mate to put a ad up on henlow dog tracks noticeboard.im going to get a greyhound bitch and breed some myself .if i pick the ones that have broken to the greyhound .i will invite some of these lads on here out to see whaht a good excample is capable of . i think they will be very pleasantly surprised

.i had charlie dgxgsd lurcher x greyhound the bitches stayed all night dogs were useless.crossed andy wxgl good dog great stamina ace on rabitts crossed to a bedlington xwhippett all the pups could not stay .one of charlies bitches was purchased by some lads in wales preban she was called rosie caught lots of fallow preban.yet the dogs had no wind at all

bunnys .i think the dogs shape is ok tho it looks a bit over weight .people say about the dog being heavy.i was up at a place called wing hill this week and i met a man walking greyhounds he only has open class dogs and he had a black and white greyhound dog with him it was about 28 at the shoulder and was very well built the dog weighed at least 85lbs.as for people saying gsdxg have no stamina my dogs never blew up they were good in thick woodland and in the open .they caught daylight hares regulary .they were very good trackers .i think if a dog is not fit it can give the wrong impression a

Woburn Deer Herds 2Nd May
blackgreyhound replied to blackgreyhound's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
deerman.easy deer +big numbers.but i dont think one dog could take those red park stags pre ban they are massive .one hit my car once montego estate pushed the passenge wing right in plus door pillar and run off.weight between 15 stone to 31 stone.i have been up real close to one of those monsters .you would need at least two big wolves to bring one of those down .if it was in the rut those big stags would smash a dog into pieces -

i was in a field about a year ago when i came across a chinese water deer .its fur had been stripped off on one side and the whole side of the deer had been eaten.there is no way a fox or foxes could have eaten that much of a deer.a few weeks later i saw a decomposed muntjack deer in some tree branches .which was to high up for any one to throw it.years ago in a wood im certain i saw a lynx like looking animal one second it was there then it was gone.at miltonbryan near woburn a black panther like cat has been seen several times.has anyone on here seen dead deer high up in trees or hailf eate

paulus.how about stiching them up with a staple gun ? -
crazyhorse.when the northamerican indians met the white eyes they shot most of thier buffalow and stole thier land.when i go out hunting all of the land belongs to me i have thousands upon thousands of acres to roam upon.rothschild owns nothing the duke of bedford owns nothing .its my birthright to hunt as it is everyones to do so .it is like the blood thaht courses thru my veins .whether it says poachers will be prosecuted or beware of land mines i am going to walk the land .i am a free man as free as the wind blowing thru the trees.im not a prisoner bound by rules and regulations .l am true

desertdog.i remeber going into woods along the A5 behind the flying fox..andy our wxlg.got hold of a big munty it looked like a large bull teerier that some one had stuck horns onto.it looked like it had been on streoids it was very heavily built .the dog weighed about 45 lbs .he latched onto its back and that munty dragged him across the wood floor .he held on but after a few yards of being bashed about he just couldnt hold it .some of those muntys are very strong.if that munty had gone into attack mode he would have sliced him up like a piece of ham -

beast.i was in a pheshant pen years ago mlndiing my own buissness .it was a fairly light night and near the pen i said to my mate ricky whats that steam comeing off the floor over there on looking it was a newly born baby muntjack.that was in dec jan time .they do breed all the year round tho that is the only fawn i have ever seen in the winter -
nans pat.in the uk you can shoot all of the hares on your land and leave the ground barren .yet you canott course your own hares on your own land .it does not make any sense at all.is the farm track private ? next time tell him he is trespassing and has no right to be on private property without a search warrant
