Does anybody use this type of dog? Not for chasing pigs and such but for small game?

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

I dont anymore Bakesy but bred and ran them for years,a great breed of dog too. Every farming community always had a few blokes that bred their own line.. btw the good old Aussie name for the lurcher type is "staghound"

The original settlers used Scottish deerhound x greyhound crosses and that was the standard for years. Some infused Airedale into the line as well.
I used greyhound x staghound (Gxdh) and infused 1/8th English bull for a resultant smart 90 pound intelligent breed that would walk over coals with courage,fast enough to catch any fox alive and big and tough enough to handle any boar AND an extremely gentle people dog a very important factor to the family man.

I always thought lurchers were Irish Wolfhound/Whippet or Greyhound crosses?

I watched an old doco I found at work and in England they cross greyhounds with differnt breeds depending on the game chased. Perhaps there are some of our Pommy mates reading this who can tell us more? Wink

no, after just having our 3rd kid I have implemented a new rule; nothing new can be brought into my house that eats or shits.

505,

our differences aside, congratulations to you and Mamma on the birth of a baby. We pray it will be healthy, happy, and bring as much joy to your house as ours have to us.
