Can't see you in f***ing lycra riding round the countryside on an ebike or a protein shake gym freak... ...I will get a whippet and teckel in my old days 1 1 Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 My current lurchers are in their retirement now and I'm keeping myself amused with the bushers. Once the old ones shuffle off and make space I will be looking for another fast dog. Question is will I go whippetty cross to complement the bushers or something a bit bigger and able to do more? I'm lucky enough to be able to take dogs to work with me and got plenty of mooching ground on the doorstep so don't have to work too hard to get them out and about. I do miss the lamping though when the weather is right, like now. I shoot too, mainly deer stalking, so that keeps me out and about but it's not the same as the dogs. 1 Quote Link to post
tatsblisters 10,469 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I admit to being a selfish feker when my kids were growing up instead of putting all my time and energy into doing something more constructive instead of poaching and running lurchers maybe i would be better off now though to the wife's credit my kids have reached adulthood without being addicted to drugs or have ever been in bother with the law only bit of advice i would give younger lads with the lurchers is treat it as an hobby and not an obsession. 1 Quote Link to post

Bottle warmer for milk in the front of the truck,happy as a pig in shitmy daughter I would say is the keenest of them all,helps feed,clean,walk the dogs,she looks after our ferrets, dogs,snakes,fish and her little pony Maggie Obviously theres times when I do get out on my own for certain things...but in all honesty...
