WHITE DOGS.

[Guest Frank]

Was out last night with a mate and his mate, who i did not know so well, but seemed alright.

Anyhow, he had a pure white lurcher, whippety type, pure white.

He got a decent bag of bunnys, 9 in all, i thought was fine. Went to a place that had a good number, but were suffering from mxy.

I said that the bitch done well and he turned round and said the bitch could of got more if it was not all white!

He reckoned they can see the dog when it is white...

Now, the wind was blowing like feck where we were and i could barely see my hand, an inch away from my face, never mind seeing the bitch!

He then turned round and said, would i like to buy her for 100 euro!!

She worked well, was very sharp, strike ect, out the 10 she coursed, she only missed 1, but, i am busy rasing a whippet pup st present and diclined. He then said he will stick her in the paper and hope for the best, as he reckoned white dogs are hard to shift?

Strange lad.

 

Whats all your honest opinions on white dogs folks?

So the rabbits didn`t notice a half million candle power beam moving round the field but noticed a white dog :wacko:

Colour makes absolutely no difference to me as long as its good at its job.

I've allways been of the opinion that colour is immaterial in lurchers; BUT, I was out with my mate the other morning and my brindle bitch and his black dog were quartering a field, and my mate said "look at that, your bitch is almost invisble and my dog sticks out like a sore thumb ! A keeper could spot it a mile away !!". I had to agree. Although I'm sure it makes no difference when lamping.Cheers.

i would have thought that with all the info and advice available to dayfrom the net and the many mags that

you can buy,there are still people who would think that a white dog will make game shy away from them.

 

it aint true.

thought about in the days when ferrets used to have thier canines cut of to and fed on bread and milk only.

 

i thouht we'd moved on since then

my bitch is pretty much all white but a bunny looking into a light wont give a feck what colour it is

[Guest Frank]

frank there was a video made with a white dog saluki type catching rabbits on xposeing the myphe

 

Thats right SS, its in the vid, Lurcher mania 2. I have a copy of that, great vid.

I would of taken the bitch, but like i said, im busy, as she was a good lamper, retrieved to hand the lot.

Silly lad he was.

I had a whippet x collie bitch as my last rabbiting dog and she was pure white apart from black speckles on her ear tips and she caught plenty of rabbits. Her only drawback was that she was easily recognisable from some distance if I was on the 'other side of the fence' so to speak!

Nice bag Giro. Just goes to proove really, wish i could show that lad this thread, he does not have a coputer. Im not inviting him here ither.

[sionnach 44]

what planet is he from??? as was already said with a million candle power lamp on a rabbit he can't see what colour the dog is. fairly strange lad ok. from what you said about her lamping he won't know a good dog of any colour if it bite him. :drink:

[Guest Frank]

Aye, as has been prooven.

Hi reckoned that, before the lamp is swicthed on, when walking in the feild, the rabbit will see a white dog, quicker then say a brindle/ect. He mentioned the moon aswell.
