minshaw man 111 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I was going to line my Collie cross with a Match dog... Bitch has not had a season since I Got a decent dog sorted... I Fancied a pup off Socks his first cross to a daytime dog but she never whelped But I will be getting a pup off a similar breeding sometime in the near future.. I wanted the cross because my bitch Hybrid collie mix dose not miss much on the lamp and is good daytime hunter finding and flushing game she just lacked a bit for those longer daytime runs. I was hoping combining the saluki type that excells at the daytime game the pups should smash them daytime and retain the bitches good lamping running style/intellegence. Horses for courses but would imagine this cross would suite most hunters that were after ediable game Would you not go down the full saulki line??????? To be honest mate I have never seen either run.. I have asked about on a few forums over the years and genral feel from experianced coursing men was to go for line bred saluki lurcher. I was looking to make my dog that bit better in the daytime, some lads thought whippet/ grey but also thought Dogs would loose stamina. I dont run big open fen land I run more of a mixeture of arable feilds,fell ground and smaller padocks. Just rabbits of mind Whos is Farmer Dave Minshaw Man, what type a lurcher does he keep ?? look at pups on l longdog snipe x somthing else thers a video Quote Link to post

freelance 448 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Does he still keep dogs or is he retired ?? Caithness where he used to stay ?? Must of been good back in the day these dog men living with an abundance of game offering lodgings and nights out... These days you have to keep your head down and watch out for lads sticking the knife in and sneeking back on your ground Giro a good few years ago we was on a hunting holiday up there staying right up on the east coast and had a trip up to see Tommy at his cottage. He had packed in with the lurchers and kept and trained sheepdogs. But was a real nice quiet spoken fella who told us his tales from yester year and was a pleasure to meet, he also put us on two some spots to get a run with the dogs while we was up there Atb 1 Quote Link to post
