She's seen everything mate, that's not me bullshitting anyone that knows me knows I don't keep shit dogs, shes retired at 7 because she no longer does the job in the same fashion as she use too, shes still as game and as tough but she's a lot harder to get fit, to keep fit and stiffens up much easier nowadays Iv also got a young dog up and coming ready to start middle of the winter Quote Link to post

Tallywacker 262 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 If this bitch has had a good working life the chances are she would of took a lot of knocks over the seasons which eventually takes its toll on there running/working ability and not all dogs can keep it up!! so to carry on working and watching her punching her guts out when she's clearly struggling and then to be lyed up in the kennel for days on end is only something a fool would do.. 5 Quote Link to post

Shaddy93 840 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 put a proven deerhound x over her perfect combo in my eyes I'm looking for gameness, speed and stamina, I know what your saying about a deerhound x but there few and far between I live in the same town as plattsy and no disrespect to the man but I would never use his stuff, like I said though I will consider other crosses so thankyou for you input, wouldn't mind using a Bedlington greyhound Iv had decent ones myself but again there few and far between 1 Quote Link to post

Thanks atb Hi shaddy, is she a half cross? No mate she's 3/4 grey 1/4 bull but quite a heavy set type, not got a bully head but quite a bully body not the prettiest bitch by all means but she knows her job, far from the hardest dog Iv had but I like her work style and I think adding something into her could produce some decent stuff Quote Link to post
