your right there sandy fox and hare are specialist, when you start talking more than an odd one here and there, I had a little courser cross whippet that killed fox very well, just naturaly knew how, but would not do it all the time, be a moron to expect it to. -

don't doubt you have seen a decent dog or two, I have and do own dogs that can only be described as top draw, don't meen you have to push them to breaking point though, just idiotic imho -

I had my own line bred stuff 70s/80s, then a pure, first crosses three quarters etc, but line bred to me just have a bit more about em, I would like to see a line bred crossed with a collie instead of a f1 collie grey I think they be better. -

open some eyes, I have lamped and mouched with pure sals first crosses and line bred, all take to any task given chance, I have started some lamping as older dogs and pick it up quick enough, my curent one lamps ok I just do it to give her a bit more work, but I used to lamp a lot years ago. just to add start daytime first, then lamp. -
I once had two coursing dog pups left and they were bastrds for fighting full on, a chap came for one, and they set off on one , the chap said to me I have never seen pups fight like that ile have em both lol they made top class dogs.

could bore you to tears mate about mutaton greenys lol
-
used to have cinamons lutinos silvers pieds and combinations of all messed about trying different combos.
-
what greenfinches do you keep mate I used to breed them 30 odd years ago. correct but its their excuse to make, I don't even like my farmers doing stuff and its their shoots I look after, lol
-
it is a shame when people start getting riled with a dog for being les than perfect, I don't take my lurcher shooting but run a gang of cockers and all I do is get them bang on the whistle, and they learn the rest on the job in the pack so to speak I encourage them to jump up with the retrieve to save my back, but that's about it just let them work and they don't miss much as been said life is far to short.

when you look what disturbance there is on a drive compared to a dog, even during a drive a fox can come out and the drive is still stuffed full.
-
when you get to the last one every body thinks there something wrong lol good luck jigsaw.
-
I used to put 10,000 pluss partridges a year down and run 22 days shooting and often I would feed after the day, before going for a drink, and most birds were back in the strips, you could often see them flying back while picker ups were working, before I was on there I had permission to course it and was on at first light one Saturday and later on saw them having a shoot lol never matered and I never told the boss he is dead now god rest him.
-
a mate of mine skidded into a coursing man one day raceing to catch em, broke the chaps leg and he was charged at first with attempted murder, got off in the end though.
-
no one will they worth fk all come beating they can have em ffs
-
lol we were working on a site at warington doing house footings and we had a long weekend on Tuesday morning our spotboards were gone, a new gang on the houses nicked em, when I went and got em back my mates thought I was mad, but I got em back, lol.
-
ttats like meeting to sell them a pup, they never come on there own, lol always a car load.
-
never said at night jack, but daytime, done that more than once some traveling lads one day spoke to the lads on the road and they phoned the lads on the field told them I asked nicely and they walked off and left, no bother, I was never bothered about any one, talk proper and with respect and a proper chap will give you respect, I don't call no one I just want em gone hares is mine. I have been both sides on this one so don't blame no one after a run.
-
the law has coursed the driving problem to me, but don't make it right, I used to keeper a very popular spot, and used to go on my own, if lads was on, sometimes to 2/3 car loads, tell them nicely to leave and never had a cross word, or anything, but I could back myself up if needed, and still could I think, lol.
-
cant imagine how that would feel having your pens done I did some stuff but never that to much heart and soul involved.
-
you can have the crack without photos of dead stuff, my dog s not allowed to put pics up she's an outlaw, so we go about our buisines quietly on our own.

a lad used to go with us had a first cross bred to put back in to a deerhound line, the bitch he had was awesome to look at and watch on a hare, for about 30 seconds it looked like it could catch every one with ease, then it would turn round and run back as fast as it ran out, it did catch the odd unlucky one but it never got fired up.
