stop.end 4,079 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) lol... One mans rubbish is another's treasure as the old saying goes! Plus never chucked a dog from car mid chase ! Come see the ground I hunt then see if you would feed the dog Come see the ground i hunt and attempt to navigate,possibly why i know that a dog that cannot connect with a scabby bunny will rarely connect with anything more testing of its pace,on any ground,fact. Aye, But to run it, first its got to find it. And on open moorland and forestry, somethings take some finding. Id not feed a useless fecker that could,nt use its nose as well as its eyes,the sad reality of life to some is that they do not see much of that in their lurcher breeding.I take it as standard that the mutt is let loose and comes to terms with the terrain and hidden quarry,they smell it, they find it, they pursue it, they attempt to kill it.If they can do 3 out of 4 they are useless,many bred now are lucky to manage 2 of those disciplines,again fact. neither would I, but we are not feeding that dog. Owain does, and he seems pleased with the results so far. You been at the grumpy pills again lad? Doctors orders.I just hate the idea of mediocrity as acceptable lurcher practice now,it boils my urine to see 3rd rate as 1st rate. Edited April 4, 2016 by stop.end Quote Link to post

ginger beard 4,652 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 wouldn't suit me and its an ugly b4stard but i can see why you want hound blood with it where you hunt. i do hope and think it will do what you want it to do and bloody good luck with it. do they really hunt 2 miles away from you?you must be no part of it.

Chaff 3,590 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Have had a dog that hunted way up front would eventually recall, and a quick inspection of dog would indicate a kill, but the b*****d would never lead me back to it. But that was a lurcher, perhaps with the addition of hound blood they are more obliging in showing where it is 1 Quote Link to post
BlackBuck 655 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 There's only one man the dog needs to please and that's the man who's feeding him , fine looking animal by the way perfect for what you want him for .

trigger2 3,133 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 thats a lump of a dog wales1234. i was just wondering what is the need of the bull blood in that mix? surley the hound blood alone would be enough. Quote Link to post
Wales1234 5,489 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Not so much the bull blood it's just bringing the hound down a bit up here a dog screaming early on scent isn't the best thing I don't mind the dog giving a few yelps when it's sighted quarry which this big lad does 3 Quote Link to post
NEWKID 27,101 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 You know exactly what you want for what you do Ow, quite obviously it wouldn't be the type of dog for everyone but it sounds like the dog for you. There's probably a bit more thought in the reason/breeding behind why you chose this dog than the hundreds of bunny bashers that are produced. Quote Link to post
paulsmithy83 567 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 dogs perfect for you wales1234 for them valleys over there there is hunting on scent in populated areas of quarry yeah most good lurchers should be able to do it but to find just one thing in a 5 mile radius on an old line takes a little more then then a decent lurcher so dont blame you going down the route of adding more scenting other wise it be a boring walk around the barren lands of the valleys gotta find it before you can catch it 6 Quote Link to post
Wales1234 5,489 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Definitely he's perfect dog for me only had him out handful of times and over the moon with him already ! Had one the boys of here with me tonight and he seen him working Quote Link to post
