That's my first dog i ever had, he went everywhere and did everything with me in the good days before kids and I had all the time in the world to spend with him.

Collie x grey beddy x grey. Thieving, lazy, nervous bitch. Would stand shivering in the rain and run home on her own whenever out local and she had enough.

Nightmare of a dog and drove me mad, but I loved that dog and learned so much with her.

Mine was a little lurcher bitch with the mange I swapped a stump chain for her when I was 13 so you can tell how good she was

collie grey x deer hound grey spent alot of time with him as a keen kid prince he was called railways/ fields etc he always caught a few bunnies but was prone to yap first morning out with the old man pts replaced with a beddy whip a few days later that when he told me his saying its either a sleeper or a keeper and prince was a sleeper didnt make it any easier for me being ten but it was a lesson learned thats stood me in good stead since

my old chap had all sorts of lurchers when i was growing up so i went out with a few different dogs.

 

the main lurcher i used whilst starting out was a labrador X collie grey. to be honest the dog knew more than me when i first started out lamping her. i would get home from school have tea then i would walk down to the local farm with the lamp and bitch call for the farmers son and have some lamping sessions.

 

had some cracking days out aswell. sometimes i use to be gone that long that mum would send my brother out to look for me.

I grew up with a spaniels and rough/pigeon shooting.

But just on my 11th birthday I said I wanded a terrier to go ratting/flush rabbits to the shotgun, I got this I called her Rip, she was sold as a JRT, epic dog, I got a job on a chicken farm at 14 and she came everywhere with me, killed more rats than any dog I know.
