baldockbanks courser 598 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 a show dog put to a racing dog ! strange how so many people are impressed by pics of trophies and rosets. thats the way to take the working lurcher forward? my old bitch died at 10 last week and never went near a show in her life. she proved her worth stopping tons of winter hares week in week out thats a bitch worthy of pups in my mind.

Hi kev,Im sorry i havent got back to you about the pups,reason being is ive recently took on a little bitch which i found wondering about on her own one night during lamping so have five now so hands full,id just like to say dont get wound up by littleboy knownothing comments of some on here,truth is theyd like a dog to do well on a day out as well as in the field.Good luck with the pups mate,id find it hard to let any of them go,LOL.ATB John. OK John, Good luck with the bitch, Don't worry I wont let the old jealous fraternity get to me, my bitch or the sire don't need to prove anything as they already have in my eyes . As for not letting any go I know what you mean,But then when I got eleven hanging on my toes it does make me think :D Quote Link to post

Correct me if I'm wrong but does the law not say at the moment that rats & rabbits are all we can catch with our dogs?? Your absolutely right there is a big dog catching bolted rabbits does this not mean that the "massive great dog"?? has got early pace and agility? You say you'll only keep 100% working dogs What do you do with your dogs in the summer when most of us who respect our quarry are leaving them in peace to reproduce, that's when were going to shows & game fairs proving what are dogs can do in front of a crowd. As I stated above the series of photos, at WORK,at PLAY,and LOOKING PRETTY shows are to show off your dog and have fun as well as helping to swell the pot for various charities and organizations on the local level. You say your going to get a poodle and take it to crufts :bye: :bye: "Oh" and no I wont keep my fire side JOKES to myself cos that's having FUN :feck: :feck: Kev. Quote Link to post
steveS.Yorks 161 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ive got a dog pup out of Fred,he's 11 1/2 months at the moment and coming on really well,hes a proper powerhouse and should be a good allrounder,seems to have loads of stamina and very keen without being to wreckless and his feet are some of the best ive ever seen on any dog[proven]. A lot of the lads who use Fred are trying to put a bit of pace into cross breds,Fred does that,but he gives them much more than that,i cant complain about anything with our pup,hes smart and his temprament is spot on,i know the Dam is part of the equasion but she isnt anywhere near the stamp of the bitch on this thread,would i take a chance on one of the pups? bet your arse on it. And as for the big lad being after stud money LMFAO,he'll give you anything the blokes a diomond and knows more about dogs/breeding than most of us ever will. Facts are Freds produceing top class racers and quality lurchers end of. Quote Link to post

ladyp 12 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi Kev and Deb's, Happy New Year to you both and give Gypsy a big hug from me. To all that do not know Gypsy she is 100% a working dog,a real good alrounder,show ,race,course and of course a good hunter. She is such a strong bitch and I had to hold on to her one year she nearlly took my arms out of their sockets. Good luck to all the pups. Hope see you all very soon. Best Wishes, Pat and all the Somerset Lurchers and 2 little whippets. Quote Link to post
