derbylad1 293 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Only had mine 2 years and I've always had collie crosses, but in 20 years of lurchers this line excells in my eyes. But its the only one i've had, i've seen a few work and they've always impressed me prior to having xena (another reason why i got her). So far she has done what ever i've asked of her and some more, only time will tell if she continues to impress and get better. So yes i'd have another in a heart beat. 1 Quote Link to post
D Lloyd 2,790 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 When i seen Lily running up in Whin's part of the countryside she ran absolutely A1 she has a lovely style of running,you wouldn't see a gundog retrieve better either,i did say her wind could of been better BUT Timber did say he wouldn't have her at the kind of level of fitness that some would she done ABSOLUTELY everything as you would want? Not sure what the craic was at the Brick's but i thought the dogs over a few days put some good numbers to rest? I also thought Lily went to Lloyd's up near Wick and ran ok up there but i stand to be corrected on that?.JB well he liked to talk about dogs instead of getting his hands dirty if you get my drift? Best laugh was Billy who owned Cora called in to see me a couple of months ago looking for a dog for his friend said he had a number out of the CMW from a while back so i said ring it ,Mr JB answered and Billy asks him if he knows where any pups are and he started telling Billy how my Jack was bred ,Billy said he bred him but JB was still telling him different in the end Billy put the phone down on him and his very words were "he's f*****g mental,who the f**k is he?" ,test the patience of a nun would owld Jimmy ATB Andy. both lilly and the pup out of here run well up here andy lillys nights were cut short after a bad bump were she nealy crashed a fens down in pursuit last time i seen a fens hit like that it was a fat bastared in a landy any one 1 Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,304 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks Bosun..I'm pretty sure those dogs that Moscow has would be right up your street matey?...Johnny I have more than enough faith in Bron matey,a few years down the line and get that black Whippet over her then you will have a real little terminator on your hands!

baz 463 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Since I'm not on the fen all the time now, I'd have one , preferably a faster type, half x . 1 Quote Link to post
derbylad1 293 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Well i say a heart beat...but give it another 2-3 seasons to prove herself first. If she's wank, then timber can get his wallet, refund please....lol Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,171 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 yeh i would have another,,,although mines only part minshaw....especialy out of the dale dog,,.. but im also open to any breeds or types,, i may well have another fen dog soon ,, Quote Link to post
minshaw man 111 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 A genuine question here? Its to everyone who has or in the past has owned a dog carrying MINSHAW blood. Would you have another or move onto some other type and why would you stay loyal or move away from them? ATB Andy would have another anyday neva look back from them i like the racy fast type just because i like to wok them in day aaron 1 Quote Link to post
Moll. 1,770 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Put a brush on them Dean lad will you instead of f*****g tarting yourself up and posing in mirrors and all that shite lol :laugh: I was amazed when i saw your lads though Andy. Because you see photos of them on here, you expect them to look that that still. Could not believe the size of them when we met, was expecting some little scrawny teenagers Quote Link to post

ATB Andy I know a working dog should be judged on working ability, but if the early signs that this young bitch is showing is anything to go by then I can't see me not carrying on with this line. Aye your right about the whippet it would be a nice mix but I think a taller grew would throw a real nice dog. edited to say if I bred her there'd hopefully be a collie based lurcher around to try and keep the pups typey. All hypothetical at the moment though. 1 Quote Link to post

fireman 10,905 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cheers mate. I've got very high hopes for her. I think she's going to make a cracking all rounder. And can't wait to show blackwater it going. She's hard to keep weight on must be all exercise it get's because she's fed plenty. show him fcuk all,the blokes a spanner bag at best, Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,304 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Don't compliment them in anyway Moll their heads will be wedged in the bathroom door as they go showering,muscle posing,gel in their wigs or whatever the feck it is poseurs do infront of the mirror? Lol 1 Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,304 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, I'm on your wavelength Johnny I'm seriously thinking along the lines of a grey/whippet type x Don for my next lurcher as and when I need one? Unless the hunting act 2004 is overturned or altered to major effect that allows other quarry to be hunted with the dogs which is highly unlikely then a bunny basher will do for me?
