Some of the descriptive terms used are thought provoking, I've always been a little puzzled re those who suggest their dogs "DO Teeth!" makes me wonder if said canine has a small dental practice as a side line.

Or when people blank there faces out on Facebook. Holding a blooded dog and Charlie. One click on to there profile you can see there face

These 'modern terms' people use these days leave me perplexed and amused at the same time

The 'modern fieldsports enthusiasts' are definitely not as intelligent as some of the more 'mature, oldschool fieldsports enthusiasts'

Plenty, 300 is salad days territory in this line of work, there's an owd hairy that has dedicated the last 800 year to perfecting his strain of slinky hedgerow shape shifters

Depends don’t it Morton ?greyhounds an deerhounds x we’re all originally bred as courseing dogs an got put in to base bloods to produce handy Pot filling Lurchers why wouldn’t the same happen if a saluki greyhound got added to base bloods or Lurchers that needed turboing up a bit surly it’s the same sort of thing for the folks that like a bit of saluki blood plus salukix are still worked for that job today while you wouldn’t find that many deerhoundxs or greyhounds doing it but handy Lurchers are still bred from the latter sight hounds?

I don,t believe Greyhounds and Deerhounds owned an early hunting history as sight hounds,they were bred in an era when far more was expected of the hairy mongrels that became the more modern smooth coated and less useful hunting greyhound,the more affluent changed the history of the greyhound to suit their gambling habits.The Deerhound,as was,better represented itself as an accomplished hunter,its nose was as useful as its keen eye and modernish deerhoundy hybrids may have lost their nose yet regain the eye factor,ive to see yet a lurcher that is as keen sighted as the deerhoundy mongrels.Ill admit that the Saluki influence is far more important than my flippancy about them may warrant,its a flippancy I wander to,at times,to cause a little mischief and discussion.Far more shite is bred that is Deerhound influenced,that dismays me more than anything else,the saluki shite is far more costly and attracts a certain type that is more interested in the monetary value of a working mans hunting companion.
