Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Mine would be the first too go for a fuss and lick the face of the cnut while iam sitting in 6'' of water and full of thorns, That sounds like somthing Jeff burells would say as his ads say his lot can do ''Anything'' Quote Link to post
bigbarnett 33 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I had a fox course in a sloped field. me and my mate were stood on the wall and slipped the dog over the wall, we heard a voice shout oi and a torch shined at us. we walked down the road and 2 minutes later a car pulled up ad started to bollock us. Luckily my mates is 6 foot 5 and about 17 stone. when he stood up he soon went. we decided it wasnt worth staying around so we both left and wal;ked four fields down and was met with a smiling dog with ginger fur all round its mouth. good outcome i say Quote Link to post

littletimmy 71 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 My dog see's me shivering in the dead of winter and pulls a flask of tea from under his superdog cape and pours me a brew. Rather quite amazing when you think, he misses the toilet sometimes. 3 Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Mine would be the first too go for a fuss and lick the face of the cnut while iam sitting in 6'' of water and full of thorns, The one I have now is like that. I've seen one or two that would run and hide with you but never seen one hide on it's own. I wouldn't rule it out though. Some lurchers do become very suspicious of strangers but it'd probably be more to do with the dogs nature than training. Quote Link to post
moley 115 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 sounds like bollocks to me there was an old boy in the village that wanted a couple of trout and i couldn,t be arsed , so i sent my old dog down the beck with a tiddler net ,it came back an hour later with three trout all over 4lb , gutted them and put them in the old lads oven , it also thought that my gran might like a hare, so coursed and caught one on the way back home , gutted it and hung it in the shed, honest!!! proper poaching dog that one Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Some posts on this thread are far fetched, and some have me shaking my head in wonder........A few lads have pointed out the real deals, i have a 1/16 colllie 3/16 kelpie 4/16 cattle dog 8/16 greyhound called Siegfried, all i would do after dusk was let "siggy" out of his kennel and he would trot the 3.24 miles to the local brook, nab a few crayfish, store them on the bank until later, then trot the 1.34 miles to the local stubbles, snaffle a few bunnies and the odd red stag (single handed of course), and then retreive all this home in stages and drop them in the chest freezer, before topping up his own water bowl and going back with a shovel to clear up his "business"............I sold the dog as he came home empty handed one night and i heard through the grapevine he had stopped off to "service" a genuine Norfolk lurcher and also helped an elderly war veteran across the road. So do the genuine poaching dogs exist? Of course they do..................................In books There is a big difference to dropping a dog on command to a dog actually displaying the thought process to go and hide out of sight :laugh: Quote Link to post
