    my first running dog cost £3 I was 9 or 10 and saved the money in a jam jar, nearly 50 years ago and still got one, but times and kids were different then, to many distractions now, kids( and men come to that) don't respect dogs enough, to easily sold and replaced.

    the lad said the dog backed off straight away when he called it, how he know if the lamp was off.
  5. two crows
    he did not say he put the lamp off In his o p, any lamping dog should come straight back if lamp is off, but that's not what he said and no one said the dog jacked, it seems to me the boy only wants positive feed back, any thing else your a dickhead, fkin muppet.

    I don't lamp much these days but I would not want to call a dog off a run, if you don't know the ground don't run the dog, your in charge, some like to be able to call a dog off, but why send it in the first place, if you got to call it back, by doing that your teaching it to pick its runs imo.

    tam dresses up if a shoot is on the right day and addresses the haggis, and we drink more scotch, I am quit comfortable with him in a skirt as it is the 21st century.

    you have hit the nail on the head there, don't breed from suspect dogs, how many times on here do we see lads saying what can I put to my bitch to make so and so right in the pups, answer nothing, don't breed.

    another good post, I could always get enjoyment out of even a very average dog by working it to its strengths and avoiding it weaknesses.

    when I used to lamp a lot my little bitch always stood by the hedge for a few seconds if the rabbit got in, and its surprising how many she court like that I recon she used to listen for movement, it surprises me how many people don't see picking runs as that big a deal to me its like jacking.

    a lot of lads say their dog is top draw, not just in coursing but dog work in general, and lads that have never seen a reel top class coursing dog get excited when they see a decent dog, thinking its top class, I have seen lots of good hare killers, ive seen dogs bigged up that need 5 mins and a ditch to catch average hares, but you very rarely see true class, when you do you will know, I never talk about what mine can and cant do till there done and then I tell the truth, if we rely did all breed best to best the stock would be very different.

    this bitch was bred very like that, but other way round I think, from a top class hare bitch to a quality whippet dog, and she was top draw on large and small rabbits, daytime only never lamped going on forty odd years back all the best with your pup. she was 23 inches if I remember right.

    nice looking dog that but I thought his coat looked a bit thin on the front on pic.
  20. two crows
    in my opinion no one gets the credit there were lads doing the same thing all over the place trying to improve their coursing stock.

    allsorts of lurchers went into the melting pot to create what we refer to as coursing dogs, I acquired this bitch from Leicestershire 30 ish years ago because she was supposed to carry blood from my old 70s dogs she looked very lurchery as did allot of those early Leicester dogs and surprisingly these broken coated lurcher looking ones are still common, sadly she did not make the grade, but a lamping mate liked her and she made him a decent dog for many years and mothered some decent lurchers in retirement.
