    I was going to tell bill that its a 9 bob not folk are as bent as not a 10 bob one, and that I found a ten bob note when I was a kid it was like winning the lotto, lol but I don't think il'e get involved.

    I parted with 2 adults both bought as adults, one I kept a week decent bitch but dodgy temp with my other dogs, a mate had it for same money I paid, the other was bred down from my old 70s stuff with a bit of merlin eve added my heart ruled my head on that one she WAS very average, but I gave her to a lamping mate and it was the bizz at that game and did it all, I wont ever buy another adult dog again or sell one.

    I never paid big money for a dog, I sold a pup about 18 or mabe 20 years ago for 150 that was sold at 18 months £7,500 my present bitch was £280 and no one could buy her she is extremely average.

    my mates one was cloddy but was still fast enough to catch a rabbit and did not look to lurchery perfect for today, I all ways remember old sooty he used to jump up and down hunting tall cover, he was poisoned prob from drinking from puddles, farm chemicals were allot worse back then, his next dog was a dearhound type fkn useless next to old soot.

    i remember years ago I had a very good bitch, and was invited on a coursing day with some well known coursing men, there was a bitch that ran that day and caught I hare from 3, I was tempted to try and buy it, but I all ways bred my own so pride stopped me, but I knew it would be moved on, but the way it ran I could of made that bitch much better, I have often looked back and regretted that, some men in their search for glory can miss a diamond in the rough.

    as for traveller talk allot of lurcher men try to talk like travellers, don't know why, and travellers try to claim they started every thing to do with lurchers/coursing dogs, my granny allways talked about uncle owen like he invented poaching, but I cant remember him doing owt when we went to stop with them when I was a kid, they had a lovely spot in Cheshire its right next to the m6 now.

    they are the same, I have seen lots of dogs run who's owners said were very good, but in reality were very average.

    if your running large rabbits daytime dogs are fed tea time day before, when I was lamping I all ways waited till I came back never a problem.

    I work cockers and believe a cocker lurcher would be a wonderful thing, it would need to be off my old dog though, still punching well above his weight at 11 he is now, I would put him to a whippet tomorrow for a pup, I once had a terrier with beagle in that caught hundreds of rabbits, when I was a kid loads of old mongrels seemed to catch rabbits.

    most average dogs have average owners, and I seen some very good coursing dogs become very average, after being sold for good money to so called top dog men.

    i have several mates who have labs on the peg all decent, to be honest though they don't do anything else , but I don't think a cross with any thing would improve them for that job, but for picking up or shooting over on moorland be bob on crossed with pointer, I believe they are already nick named penine pointers and there are quite a few about.

    i have never owned a lab either and know what you mean, the racier ones look like they have running dog in already, different areas/ jobs require a different style of working and like forward thinking lurcher men, gun dog men will adapt wat they have to suit their needs, we see trialers all the time picking up, and all they want are the birds that they can direct their dogs onto using hand signals etc very skill full, but not proper picking up, we pick up 3/4/5 hundred yards behind the guns, and most of what we pick, the guns don't even know they touched, then we move forward and sweep up any

    talk of temperament I fitted a kitchen for a mate and he has 2 labs, one barked at me all week on the last day they were in the house when his wife let them out the current bit my arm ripped my jumper shirt and skin fcuk I was mad it ran straight in its kennel and hid I have never been bitten before twat hurts.

    I don't know the lab bloodlines but I believe drakes head is john halsteads kennel name, did the chap say they were drakes head or do they genuinely look different from all the other labs?

    I like threads like this they bring back memories of better times, a mate of mine had one and I saw him work for four or five years week in week out, he was a good dog by any standard, but only used on rabbits hares and birds, he was a yapper though, I must confess to not being a lab fan but as a lurcher very good base the other day I was running my little gang of spaniels and picking birds no one knew were even pricked mouching at its best a little f1 cocker whippet in the gang be bob on. and bill I know what you mean about keepers as dog men, but i bean keepering years now and at a good leve

    I remember a mate telling me about some lads nearly losing some permission by killing the farmers cat, the following week the farmers wife broke her leg in a hole left open after ferreting, don't think they go there anymore.

    a farmer I know was driving along in the land rover when there was a bump, he stopped and a cat was dead on the road, any way he recognised it as their cat must have stowed away under the bonnet and fallen out, so he took it home the wife and kids did the official i.d cat was given a Christian burial, all was well till supper time, when the cat walked in to the kitchen , turns out it was not their cat at all, but it coursed a bit of a doo until they knew It had not dug its self out. lol

    I quite like pink footed goose, when we went to Scotland we used to shoot a wood that belonged to a butcher, and when we shot geese on the fields he used to have them off us, you cant sell wild geese, so he used to call them large ducks.
