  1. Well done you and hopefully the dog will get a good home, you should have drawn your boot right off the git that owned hims balls though.
  2. 208174miles 1991. Might be wrong chester but I think that jeeps an import and that's kilometres if that's the case then it's roughly 120.000 miles, good luck with the sale.
  3. I worked as a ghillie just north of Fort William for a while,the estate was nine mile up a glen and then carried on for a further five so you had complete privacy. I owned two lurchers at the time and both had taken more than their fair share of deer mostly roe and quite a few fallow and sika so it was inevitable that I would have a crack at the reds. Well they done quite a few hinds doubled up and then singly before I decided to try them on a stag, unbelievable as it sounds one of the reasons I held back was that I thought a few hinds and calves wouldn't be missed but if I killed one of the
  4. My chickens are free range, what safety measures do you think I should install to safe guard them ?.
  5. Always the same, my dad had one, my mates got one or has one never a simple yes I've got one here, then you check their profile and find out that they are fourteen or there abouts and it all becomes clear.
  6. Don't recall anybody saying they were allrounders, quite the opposite, most owners will admit quite readily that there not as fast as other crosses.
  7. Best stick to your draught excluders Leveller.
  8. A title and author might clinch the sale.
  9. If the dogs reasonably experienced and can be trusted to know the bitch is ready and he's not just a randy youngster then I'd be thinking of sedating the bitch and maybe a smearing of vaseline wouldn't go amiss.
  10. Not always the case, some bitches (greyhounds in particular) don't swell a great deal. They swell enough to notice. Probably, but thats not what you said, read your post.

  12. Don't think its pit mate as thats illegal.
  13. The reality is this JPF your dog wasn't suffering from bloat but you didn't know that, you chose not to consult a vet, this time you were lucky if it had been bloat you'd be digging a hole right now.
  14. 34 inch mate looks more like 24, maybe its the picture.
  15. i would but im only 14 ....... Which is blatantly obvious from your posts.
  16. Basically all of it, and the book your quoting The Ferret by about pets says it all really.
  17. First cross wheaton/grey to a greyhound bitch mate.
  18. She's only nine months old, so quarry wise she's an unknown commodity, but I will be brutally honest I'm a collie lurcher fan and comparing her to the dogs I've owned she's behind them in every way. I just can't get inside her head. But it's early days so its really too soon to be making judgements.
  19. I've read some shit on here but that has exceeded anything to date by a mile.
  20. What lines did you see work Mackay? Don't have a clue what lines they were mate, just wasn't taken on with them, that said I've maybe just been unlucky.
  21. A man that works whippets well and has experince, this is what we want to hear , not someone talking crap and has never owned or worked a whippet. Frank. So if you've never owned or worked a whippet you can't have an opinion?. I've never owned one, but I've seen a few over the years and if the ones I've seen are typical of the breed then I never will own one. Furdy I thought that was quite an honest and accurate post regarding whippets.
  22. Personally I would want to test the first cross, but that's only one half of the equation, would you then test the pure side your using to create your three quarter bred ie greyhound, whippet etc ?. Take it back a step though, when breeding your first cross be it collie, bull or whatever do you test both parents before embarking on the next phase of the breeding plan. No point in starting to test half roads into the breeding and then only one parent.... or does any greyhound, whippet etc suffice.
