MINSHAW .....

Great thread this does don have more than half collie then? How's his speed I had a 5/8th collie she was a nice bitch just never got to test her as she died at one and a half.You have had some cracking dogs by the looks of it andy a great line of lurcher.

 

Yeah he's over 1/2 Collie mate bred back to a lurcher lol..not even a Grey ..his speed his ok without obviously being an exocet missile ,he has caught more gear in the day then probably every lurcher i've owned in 30 odd year put together ..he just seems to always be in the right place if there's anything about? Obviously his main job for us is lamping and he's coming along very nicely in that sphere,had some cracking hauls already and i'm sure we ain't seen the best of him yet? He did crack a bone in his hind leg as a youngster and you always have it in the back of your mind that it could become troublesome as time goes on so we are gonna make hay while the sun shines so to speak ..he will NOT be wrapped up in cotton wool,even he wouldn't want us to do that,he's the type of dog who gives 110% on EVERY thing he runs,if he has to be carried out on his shield then so be it? To be honest the way the law is now i cannot understand how and why not dogs of similar breeding ain't more popular as for ferreting and your general rabbit control they are a hardy,trustworthy companion who can do a bit of tracking etc on bigger gear if need be?

Andy, first off, what a crackin thred, thank you, next to the Seagull one they are THE best threds posted on lurchers on here and long may it run unhinderd..

 

Just thinking back to the dogs of the line that came to this city, OBO, Traveller etc and the first I seen run, the one BMc brought down who's name escapes me(?) what light can you shed on them?

OBOE'' was M.R dog from liverpool.. TRAVELER'' was J.F dog also from liverpool.. NIGGER'' also ended up in liverpool to with JMc... nigger was the father to the MICKY'' dog that was here' think JMc kept MICKYS litter brother a dog called NODGGER'' A.S from round these parts also owned a good' MINSHAW cross n i think it was called NIPPER'' but i remember M.R teling me he had a beter minshaw dog than OBOE'' at first a dog called JACK'' witch i think he got off minshaw himself... hope the info helps... .ATB..B

 

Good stuff Busher ..i can recall M R's dog Jack we called him Black Jack up these neck of the woods,he occasionally brought it back up the M6 to Vic's,he was not unlike the dog i also had called Jack ..ATB Andy.

Here,s a pic of black jack on left and blue on right Atb

 

Where you been hiding that pic at? .. He was a much bigger dog than Blue just as my dog Jack was,looked very similar to my fella..is that Vic with the dogs? Just looks like the hat he used to wear ...ATB Andy.

Yeah its Vic mate with a blob of blue tack on his head, am none to clever with this PC lark Atb

[minshaw man 111]

yeah mate she looks a lot like the kelsey dog, she's 4 yr old and got endless stamina

 

The Ginger Hunter was telling my lads about her and he says it can do the business and he knows a good dog when he sees one so his word is good enough to me. ATB Andy

i its extremely fast during day lyk a like that black and white dog of your boys abet that can run like

Ginger hunter was telling me that when he as seen your bitch run it was the 'star of the show' and he was really impressed by your dog.. are you going flimby this week?

[minshaw man 111]

not such things as a minshaw the original breed is long gone , ans the fellow minshaw hasnt bred a litter for donkeys ,saw one working was simliar to a collie cross ,no a dog for open feilds with no hedges but would had been better for ferreting etc ,

dont you worry september time comes going to call you out for a run coz i fink ya wrong about minshaws

[FUJI 17,287]

Also Andy what was the best shift you had back then single handed with the old stuff on the coneys ? Cheers Atb

I've really enjoyed this thread and it's nice to see some of dons offspring on here what's his best bag on the lamp up to date then ?

 

Firstly Freelance,in truth mate although i obviously had half decent bags of bunnies with my dogs from the older generation of Minshaw dogs i never really went hell bent on going for the type of bags that Vic did,i was more interested in the hares,they brought decent £££ where a bunny was a ten bob job lol,my dogs all killed into the 40's with little fuss,the Bulpa dog when just a young dog killed 46 rabbits and 5 hares and i'm sure he'd og got into the 70's quite easily? ...as for Don storm323 well he's just about the same as my old dog,he's done over 40 several times and were it not for flat batteries or other mishaps ie: lack of bunnies he'd be well up on that imo,i think if the bunnies are abundant this upcoming season and i can have him in the kind of condition i had him towards the end of last season i'd not be surprised if he gets up into the 70's or possibly even 's? His 1/2 sister Venus which Tomo owns caught 53 at the end of December and she had any amount left in the tank,she hadn't even broke sweat as daft as that sounds although it's bound to have taken some kind of toll on her after 65/70 runs you would think? Now that hares are off the agenda for us hunters i'm keen to see what kind of numbers these mutts can account for when it comes to bunny bashing? ATB Andy.

He's took some good bags then ye it's a shamee it's no more but we still have the joys of taking rabbits what kinds of bags was you taking pre ban on hares then does don have bulpa in his line?seen a topic on him before he sounded a grafter.

[#1poacher 8]

this is an 80s epic first heard of him then and it made him famous a know alot of people who had good dogs they were silly not to jump on the band wagon.surely there is nothing left of this line

Andy...this is what i want from Xena this season coming. I haven't got the land for huge bags of bunnies, but i did manage bags of 20 's and 30's last season on plenty of occasions and this year i really want to test her to the fullest. I just need to get out there and put the gear in front of her.

[minshaw man 111]
