No Rain In Lincolnshire

Not gonna stop running them when its too wet or even when its frosty. But unless you've got a lightweight dog and the grounds like concrete youd have to put little value on your dog to slip it and risk ruining its whole season instead of waiting

So now i put little value on my dogs . They are lurchers. Not pedigree whippets. My dogs are not "slipped" daytime. They hunt/work for themselves like they were bred to do. My dog's are'nt the type to run a 6 minute course and bore me to death. Few if any chases last longer than a minute. But i bow down to your superior knowledge and will now lead walk them round the local park until sufficient rain has fallen ,so as not to scuff their toenails or stoppers .

youre the one preaching here on when we should run our dogs not me. And my dogs are hardly ever on a lead when I walk them. But theyre walked where there's no game. Like I said I obviously just value my dogs more than you do yours. If you do actually get out and about with your dogs like you make out then they will probably all be retired and f****d way before mine. But theyre your dogs bred for rugged running so you can do whatever you want with them. And as for a 6 minute course id be the happiest man alive if my dog was capable of that, and so would you be

Stabba ur a f***ing muppet someone has to tell u stupid c**t u got no idea and don't deserve a dog tosser

The minute you start slinging personal insults about then you've lost all credabilty you thought you had. Small wonder this site is becoming the joke that a lot of folk think it is already.I just hope you don't kiss your mother with that filthy mouth of yours.

For whats its worth, I've ran dogs on hard ground, plough and frost, if a fox can run on it, then a good strong lurcher can race it, suffered injuries? yes, and my dogs have suffered injuries running in grass fields what i thought was the perfect conditions, feck me they have injured themselves in the past running on the beach sh*t happens.

 

Take the deerhound for example, bred to run deer, for miles sometimes, the terrain they run will never be the same they could quite easily cover marsh, grass fields woods and plough in a single run. The very same could apply to them thick skulled salukis ( just my opinion lol) you don't know what terrain that hare may take your dog, unless of course you walk the entire area of your intended course.

 

The very reason the lurcher is bred is for the variety of running and conditions it will run on, and the capabilities of the dog, I would never dream of running a scrawny dancing whippet over plough or hard ground, but would not hesitate in slipping a good strong deerhound x or bull x on the same ground.

 

Run your own dogs to their own strengths, not anybody else's.

 

So if you're waiting for them perfect conditions, get another hobby as you're going to have a lot of spare nights and days on your hands.

nobody has said theyre waiting for the perfect conditions. Its only hard ground people are complaining about not imperfect conditions. And personally I think a small whippet x is far less likely to injure itself on hard ground. My littelun touchwood has never had anything other than a knocked toe and ill run him on almost anything

No but you did say earlier, about putting little value on your dog and running it on hard ground if its like concrete, i would never make such a comment about how another man values his dogs nor would expect anybody to say the same about me or mine, i know what my dog is capable of and so do other men, so at a guess i would say that they are in a better position to judge the value at stake nobody else, correct?

it wasn't me telling people to give the game up for not running our dogs on concrete.
