3/4 terrier 1/4 whippet bushing bitch and a lightly built lurcher whose breeding I know nothing about (got him from a rescue place around 8 months old and they couldn't tell me anything about his breeding).
-
I used to have one. I talked about him and put a pic up in this thread from a few weeks ago http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/356485-retriever-crosses/

Just cos a jill's got no belly on her a month after mating doesn't guarantee she's not pregnant; I bred a litter a few years back from a really good jill and right up till the day she gave birth I wasn't sure if she was pregnant or not - she only had 3 kits and she never showed. The last few days of her pregnancy her teats enlarged a bit but that was about the only obvious visible change.

Growing fast and looking good

Well said

Thanks fella

I was under the impression vasectomising a hob is actually a pretty tricky operation. As a result quite a few vets don't offer it. The last time I had a hob snipped I rang round about a dozen vets to get quotes and about half of them said they won't do it as it's too complicated. I had one refuse to do it too but there are plenty who will. My advice would be to shop around, I was quoted anything from 60 quid right up to 130.00 Like you I had a range of quotes. From memory I think the cheapest was £73 but most expensive was about £180! If you ever want one done drop it down to me mate I will g

Is this it Treehands? http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Panacur-Horse-Granules/Productinfo/PANHG/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwx7u5BRC1lePz2biJpIYBEiQA-ZeDmrGnvvWV42n5rG5m2RbqOQOO4uEn5VFfGsC4dIifD3waAg2q8P8HAQ

Great vid Gaz - lovely to see Would love to get my terrier retrieving from water but she's not keen on the stuff. Trouble is finding a suitable bit of water to encourage her with - plenty of canals round here with vertical sides, plus of course a fukc off river in the form of the Severn, but not much in the way of pools with shallows.
-
Fine to use occasionally but definitely not suitable as a staple part of the diet.

Like you, tiercel, my carp fishing experience is very limited, and what little I did was a long time ago. In the early 80's I used to fish a small mixed species club water that held double figure carp. Like you, I figured that they must eat natural baits so they should, in theory, be catchable on naturals. I spent quite a bit of time pursuing them with slugs but got nowhere with that. I also tried daddy longlegs, but I found them well nigh impossible to get onto a hook. So then I tried fly fishing with nymphs, shrimps and various wet flies. All to no avail also. In the end I gave it up as a ba

If he's still got his nads he's not been castrated.

Glad she got em all out ok. You'll have your hands full with that lot...

I think skycat has a picardy x. Her other half keeps them

Never come across that before. All my previous hobs have been absolutely rampant the second they got anywhere near an in season jill; absolutely no preamble whatsoever, just grabbed hold and got stuck in. Maybe try separating them for a couple of days then try again? Can't be any worse off than you are already. Hope he comes good for you as it's a lot of money to shell out for one that won't perform...
-
If only a small number I'd just remove them with a tick hook. Takes seconds.

Weirdest 'lurcher' I ever came across was Irish wolfhound cross English setter. It belonged to the landlord of my local pub about 30 years ago. Looked fast enough to just about catch a hedgehog.
-
She's there to stay now!

New pup off to a good start by the looks of it I'm looking forward to seeing how he, and the rest of the litter that have gone to people on here, turn out.... It's a cross I'd love to own and if I'd been in the market for another lurcher at the moment I'd have had one of these like a shot.
-
Once in a blue moon I've come across, or heard about, people using them in this country as gundogs. I think they're a bit more popular in Germany and the USA. Plenty of info, pics etc from this guy in the States - www.redhuntingpoodles.com/

Interesting that, I used to bump into a couple of standard poodles on a walk and they were into everything,not saying there all like that but those two defiantly had summet about em, sounds like you had a gudden there krawnden.. The sire of mine was a white standard that was used as a gundog - picked up on a couple of shoots and used for a bit of rough shooting.
-
He looked a lot more poodley as a pup, especially in his gait and tail carriage. What I loved as he got older was that he looked less and less like a lurcher as his thick coat hid his body shape. By the time he was about 18months old, unless you knew what he was you'd never have said he was a lurcher. It meant I could wander about in all sorts of places I shouldn't have been without raising anything like the same suspicion I would have done with an 'obvious' lurcher type.
-
To my eternal regret I took very few - it was in the days of film, so none of the snapping away without a care in the world that we do these days. But somewhere I've got one of him around a year old. I'll have to hunt for it but if I can find it I'll stick it up. Here you go fella. The deerhound bitch was 29" just to give you a rough idea of what height the poodle cross was at this point (roughly 12 months, so he ended up a tad taller than in this pic. His coat also got quite a bit heavier.) -
