*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The man breeds a few puppies (to say the least) so on the law of avareges alone, he's gonna throw some good dogs. Whether you rate them or not, depends on what and where you are running I suppose - they're not for me, at this moment in time. I'll leave it to the more established dog men to elaborate on the topic, but I will say this, having met David and his daughter Sally, they are very nice people. Quote Link to post

derbylad1 293 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Each to their own and glad you've got a gooden.......but ya still giving money to a tosspot puppy pedler. Personally i think its unethical the way he breeds the dogs, but like i say that only my opinion. Quote Link to post
storm323 191 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I've had two off him being young and naive thinking its not what's in them it's what you put into them but in actual fact I'd say it's 50 /50 he uses ex track greyhounds which are proberly retired dew to an injury of some sort ?greyhounds are not know for there great feet so to use maybe greyhounds which have bad feet is mad?you think you want this running dog to do a good shift on the lamp and good days ferreting on all sorts of ground you want a dog that's been tryed and tested.and as for the collies he does say they are from working lines but how long ago was they working?myself wouldn't think of having another and although I've had them and they make good friends lol I'd seriously think about it if you was after one!
