mick douglas

[billybunter 72]

just come across some old photos in the loft of a mick douglas bred lurcher

which i got of him in 1982 when i lived in norfolk for a few years it was out

of his bitch rust i gave quid for it good money for a 10 week old pup

nearly 25 years ago proberly the best dog ive owned

just wondering if any one on here has had dogs from mick and what they

turned out like and if mick is still about last i heard he spent alot of time in kent

cheers bb

i have a bitch that apparently comes from these lines...i bought the bitch 7 years ago from a organic pig farmer in wolsingham co.durham

 

if i remember rightly (as i was only a young teen and things seem so much different at that time) he had a whole family of these lurhers and showed me photos etc of the line....

 

i paid £60 for this bitch and its the best money ive ever spent, and if im honest i couldnt ask more from this dog.....never failed me or let me down and still going strong

AS FAR AS I KNOW THE FELLAS STILL BREEDING THAT LINE ,

 

WEVE SEEN REGULARY A YOUNG BITCH OUT OF HIS STUFF GOING BACK TO MICK DOUGLAS LINE , LAST TIME ABOUT A MONTH AGO , APPARENTLY ITS DOING VERY WELL , DAYTIME ESPECIALLY WITH A GOOD NOSE AND HAS TAKEN MOST THINGS ,

 

ME AND THE STALLION SAW THE SAME BITCH AS A PUP OF ABOUT 12 WEEKS WHEN HE FIRST BOUGHT IT ........... BELIVE ME THE PUP WAS IN POOR KNICK , THOUGH ITS TURNED OUT A NICE SORT

the two dogs i saw out of the douglas strain were both rough like a thick broken coated beardie but were more lightly built , i saw one catch fox roe and rabbit etc a nice dog , aguy from valley feild in scotland had it 9 or 10 years ago the other one was maybe 15 years ago ,looked like a small deerhound cross it was racy with a good deep chest never saw any more since then ,the puppy peddlars took over from these good ole strains

My old lamping partner had two long haired bitches from a guy in norfolk who bred norfolk lurchers about 15 - 20 years ago and it may well have been him. He said this guy was a right odd ball lived in the middle of nowhere. Best dogs he ever had he said. Both rough haired standing around 25/26. Worked both on the same lamp without slips. He would tell which one to run and they would.

daytime is where my bitch is at her best...and her finding ability impresses me every time she is out...there is something about this bitch that i havnt seen in any other lurcher, either my own or others,..maybe i have just bonded differently with this bitch..who knows?
