[Guest dotty]

almost too scared to post on here now... lol

andy, i've had two greyhoundxcollies, and have never disapointed in what you say your after. to be honest mate, best thing is to try get some experience like someone else posted, a lot of it will come down to what you like to see in a dog. good luck.

 

lol@bum licker comment!

[Guest dotty]

he's not a bum licker, he has a good piont, it is a VERY nice dog.

 

not that he would be able to tell the difference

I have 3 collie cross greyhounds and a whippet greyhound and they are all handy dogs for lamping,ferreting and also big ears but not every type suits everyone so you might be better trying to get an older dog that is doing the job so you can gain some valuable experience

AF my mate is driving now so if you want i will see if he wants to go past your way for a little lamp and we will pick you up. Bit out of season but it will give you a night out Wont be this weekend becuase im busy but next week or the week after that if your up for it

 

speak to you on msn lad

[Rabbithunter 456]

find me some of this shit advise then?

 

 

Youve got that many posts i couldn't be arsed trailing through them, but this thread will do. Sorry foster lad but it just happened on this tread. Your here telling AF whippets are better than lurcher's blah blah. How the f**k do you know you DONT have either and as far as im aware you never have? So without personal experience how can you dish out advice? Im not claiming to know it all, i dont know wether a whippet is better than a lurcher , that why i dont go around saying it.

 

All i would say to AF is if your sure you want a 100% rabbiting dog, go to someone whose bred there dogs as 100% rabbiting dogs, see them work and if you like what you see get a pup. If it was me id go for something a little bigger, just in case the opportunity arose. As someone worded it so well on here a week or so ago, " a big dog can do everything a little dog can, but a little dog cant do all that a big one can"

 

one that sticks out in my mind is : -

 

did you hear a bellow like a calf getting tagged? if so he throughted it and they die pretty quick suprised though if he held on

 

this was made by willrenny on a topic about roe deer.... Now anyone that has ever done deer work, will know that if a deer will "bark" wherever a dog grabs....... On the other hand.... not all deer bark when there down
