    the definition of coursing, is the sport of hunting hares with dogs such as greyhounds, using sight not scent, says nothing about points, just hunting, the point of hunting is to catch what you hunt I believe

    on a big bit of open land if it pulls it goes, and it goes alone, not doubled up, there are some very good dogs that get slipped short, don't make them bad dogs, and some big name dogs are only average dogs slipped clever, and some are at another level altogether you wont here them bigged up or see them on you tube, you can only truly judge a dog when run single handed,

    there were always twats and thieves in coursing, those that drive the land both day and night, but the threat of having your dog and car taken away has made things much worse in my opinion, now they nearly all drive and take the chase, it was a lot less trouble to land owners when lads walked the land like we used to.

    this is my 14 year old bitch she was a natural from the word go seemed to know what I wanted and almost trained her self, she has a big lump and is losing condition so time is short on a brighter note her great granddaughter who is also chocolate and tan is coming ready to start this season she would not touch a dummy yet retrieves dead cold game like she has been doing it years any one else had one like that.

    I normally only look at the running dog section but have seen this, when I was 9/10 years old I got my first running dog and for the next thirty years I poached mostly with dogs but I used ferrets nets etc day and night I have been a bird catcher and taken game birds a night I must of been a pain at times but mostly I don't believe anyone knew I had been I had a great time and don't regret a one moment, I have and am on the other sid of the fence now I worked on a partridge shoot part time where I was releasing 10,000 partridges a year and running my beaters for 22 days a season, on my own, r

    the gene pool of cockers is small, and breeders don't improve this when they breed from popular trialling champs just to sell pups, when I breed I look for first of all a good picking up dog that puts in a full season, then his pedigree needs to have as few matches as possible, with my bitch, I don't look to see if a dog in that ped has an ancestor that was not a cocker, my goal is to breed good working sound dogs, witch is what we all should do when we breed. we should be able to trust each other to put the breed first, but we cant, atb two crows.

    don't think there is only on bitches, the dogs sister is the bitch pups grand mother, I used a dog from different lines over her and then another over her doughter to get the young bitch both dogs had very little pedigree wise in common with the bitches and both very good dogs, to cross my dog's blood back in would be perfect but the bitch has to prove worthy first and there may not be time that's the thought behind a/I otherwise natural all the way.

    the stop whistle is a wonerfull thing but the best dogs are always on the verge of going wrong lol. I know a shoot host who all ways flags up in front of some drives and if his dog starts to run in he pretends to send it, one of my cockers ran forward one day for a bird 200 yards ish no amount of whistle would stop it, my mate came on our private channel and said what a great retrieve on that runner it was I said it would of been if I f***ing sent it lol, keep controle and don't get exited, enjoy.

    as far as I know that is correct, so how can the dna of one be different from the other unless one or both were outcrossed to something else.

    dave harcombe gave me a signed copy of the great game for something I wrote in the earth dog running dog, it is a decent read but written by someone that spent a lifetime doing the job, not ten minuets.

    most of the book writers talk about other peoples success and experience, trying to make a name based on exaggerated bull shit, there like men in the coursing game that have one half decent dog, big it up to make a name for them selves, then you find they even bought that in as a made dog.

    I have access to a couple of old lakes in a wood, across the road is a disused Methodist chapel and its said the vicar used to fish for eels in there, some years later a mate of the owner was fishing late at night almost dark and an old bloke startled him and asked if he had any eels, he said yes and reached for the keep net, when he turned round the man had gone, I was fishing there one night a couple of years back on about my 10th last cast lol, and someone walked behind my truck and never came past I went to look and saw no one it was after that my mate said did you see the vicar, and told

    the first cross saluki grey's I bred was off a saluki dog and very level 25 27, interestingly you never get a black and tan first cross or a feathered one don't know why.

    I think when they stop they turn it round and swallow head first, hence hook out the mouth use a baiting needle to thread from the tail end, and burst swim bladder I cant remember missing one.

    its not a question of what is better, but dogs with several doses of greyhound are seldom top draw, because greyhounds as a pure breed posses to many weaknesses, bad feet, no wind, poor recovery, to much speed, nothing between the ears, would you really risk breading one or more of those into some pups, I would not, and as for sal crosses f1 hybrids don't stay as well as line bred dogs and that is not because they have to much saluki in is it.

    if you have a quality bitch in any form of lurcher work, and you want to breed, find a quality stud and good luck, but don't breed for breeding's sake, I am so glad I am not a green youngster starting out, and picking through the mine field of ill thought out litters, their are good litters about in any cross, its finding them that's the challenge, and some folk cant seem to grasp that more speed is not the answer, greyhound saturated dogs are seldom top class.

    only fished it couple of times for pike and had 1 each time biggest a low teen we used to match there every week in the eighty's and saw some real big pike near the a1.

    if its bull you want use one and breed f1, anything with half or more grey back to a grey is a retrograde step, and stamina will be none existent, its a fact the greyhound was essential to lurcher breeding but in reality there is no gain from re use only negatives, all a greyhound is, is fast.

    when I was a kid we used to put a rod out for them while tenching at night, used dead roach with the hook coming out its mouth, cast out and use a match box as a bit indicator, when you get a run let it stop then when he sets off again strike, had some good fish like that.
