I've got a 1st edition "Badgers at my Window", by Drabble. I would never sell it; it's amongst my collectiion of classic books, along with some of the great hunting, lurcher, whippet and greyhound books ! I also have some great books by the New Zealand bushman, Barry Crump; his "Good Keen Man" is the best hunting book I've ever read. Bob, my little Lurcher bitch, Delta, is a 23", rough coated, six year old, Beddy/Grey X Deer/Grey-Whippet/Grey, and still does times over 150 yards to handicap in at the Whippet track ! She's about 20 yards slower than the scratch dogs,but that's still faster than some of the Whippets !! LOL !! But for me, you can't beat the big Scratch Dogs !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

bunnys 1,228 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 cHARPS I HAVE IT AND ROGUE S AND RUNNUNG DOGS , whin in know where ya coming from and i am of the same svelt , striving to see and hopefully get better each and every generation of animal i keep I myself breathe the running dogs all types love the whipps so on ,my favourites alre like yours lurchers that can run deep winter and give a good account of themselves and know how to run what theyre running , what i would say to some and this his no disrepect to anyone , i can go forty yrs plus working all types along the waystill learning each and every day , but the are types that can be got and theres a million miles between them than the average to good collie cross where ever it comes from this his whrerwhere the experience can be seen experience of diff types and also lines of the same types can be totally diff styles of running , it can be diff to put ones self over when most are only half way down the road some of us have travelled. BUT what we all have in common his the love of hunting whatever ya game its something theres no getting out of copulsive obbsession to hunt with our hounds wether with permis or with out Iaint fussy depends where they are feeding given time of the yr.atb folks bunnys.

birddog 1,354 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 agree theres nothing set in stone, in fighting theres ALWAYS someone harder, in racing theres ALWAYS someone faster. Speed isn't the be all and end all, i've seen enough spaniels and collies catch hares to prove that. I've said it before genuine worker to worker isn't always possible. How many bull crosses come from bull terriers that can throw a bull? How many saluki crosses have parents that have run down gazelle after a mega course? Or deerhound crosses that come from dogs that bring a 10 or12 stone stag to bay? Why can't folk work with what they have and get the best out of it, through practise and experience ? A good dogman can make a decent worker out of what many would call poorly bred, inferior types, does breeding from these decent workers mean you have a good chance of getting a good worker? in racing and competetive coursing the same owners seem to crop up with generation after generation of top quality animals is that just because their lucky picking pups or is it their knowledge and ability that wins? 1 Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 threqaurter greyhound up as the ultimate dog on hares back in the eighties then when they were not that good. Whin the collie x grey and the Threequarter were used a lot in my neck of the woods, one of best Hare catchers i saw in south West Scotland was a threequarter bitch, she was sold to Travellers for good money, this was years ago, and none of the collie crosses were Hancocks.

whin 463 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 to true bunny but what i must say i rate a man with the stamp of dog he keeps and breeds if they run shit then they must be hapy with shit if they give a good account well they must be putting the [bANNED TEXT] time into them , the dog game finds frauds as when there running a lot the good come through and the rest well never make it to the tiolet as they say ,saw hundreds of dogs running but only a few stick out just the way it is ,it costs as much to feed a good one than a bad one Quote Link to post

In the old days it was a magnificent acheivment to win a R.Ch, there was that many dogs ! But now, it's fair to say some get their R.Ch's on a bye !! I ran at the Rising Sun in The British Open Championship, and there would be well over 100 dogs; running a heat, quarter final , semi final and final to get amongst the winners, but at Cambois Open a few days ago, some classes were empty, others only had one dog !! Whats the answer ? I don't know... you're right, the young'uns aren't interested, and even for people like me,it's a "Catch 22"; I'd have a Non-Ped Racer if there was more places to race.... but if no one gets into it, it will only get worse !! It will be a shame if Whippet Racing dies out, as they have a lot to add to Lurcher breeding. Cheers. Quote Link to post
