Well done Sarah on organising another great show-really enjoyed it! Hope you managed to raise lots of money for charity- seemed a good turnout. Charlotte x
What a great day you had Sarah! Thought fudge and Trojan were both looking great. Hope judging went well today and wasn't too stressful! Charlotte. Xxx
Looking forward to it- but will miss having finn's Bedlington x trophy on the dresser!!! Was a very well run show last year and sure it will be this year too! Charlotte x
Cheers jim. Yeah reason I am mincing is for freezer space too and they will still get plenty to knaw on too. Have looked at the hobarts and they look great but very pricey, will have a scout round for something second hand. Thanks for the advice.
Hi, I'm looking to switch my two lurchers over to a 100% raw meat diet, I'm currently buying pet mince but want to be able to prepare my own mince as get plenty rabbits and have access to other meat scraps. I want to get an electric mincer which is capable of mincing meat including bones and...
Great pics. Is a sparrow hawk though not a kestrel- hence the eating of the sparrow!!! You may well see it again as they tend to return to same places to hunt. X
Well done Rew on organising such an enjoyable and successful show. Had a lovely day and was nice to catch up with friends and meet some new faces. Only downside was that tide was in when we went down to the beach afterwards :( look forward to seeing everyone in the spring after a busy winter...
hi. i met a whippet x poodle at a show last weekend. she was very similar in appearance to my beddie whippet and seemed a similar temperament. her owner said she didn't moult at all and that she was quick to learn and had a high prey drive. attractive dog but maybe not as suited to working as a...
wasn't at this show so don't know the ins and outs of it, but kev and debs always seem to do a good job and are fair to everyone. i know my little lurcher, a 19 inch bedlington whippet, doesn't really have a chance racing against whippets and non-peds but he enjoys it and always tries hard. at...
Thank you for organising a brilliant show, made all the better by the fabulous weather! I was super chuffed with my little dog winning the bedlington x class and getting a beautiful trophy to keep for the year (thank you so much to Kevin O'Donoghue for donating it and also for his kind words...
I agree- very glad i was not there and also that i do not know where he lives. I do know however that he has never been allowed back out on that shoot and that he was reported to the RSPCA for cruelty to an animal (the dog did not die quickly as the shotgun was loaded for shooting pheasants, he...
You're both right, we don't know why these dogs were killed or whether they were pets or working animals. Either way it is appalling that anyone can dispose of animals in this way. I don't want to come across as someone who is anti working lurchers. I have a lurcher myself who i work.
I have...
True. Just thought ages tied with someone who had rushed a young dog into work and wasn't pleased with progress. Didn't seem like they were much loved pets.
Anyone else heard this news story about two young lurchers being found hung from a bridge in Leicestershire. Is disgusting how some people treat animals, imagine that they were probably failed working dogs who hadn't really been given a chance- they were estimated between 12 and 18 months old...
Hi, I've heard that whippet racing takes place in Cullompton. Does anyone know how often or when it takes place???
If not, is there any other racing taking place nearby- i'm based in East Devon.
Thank you.

Hello! I'm based just outside Cullompton so not a million miles from you. Glad to hear you've been having success with your young lurcher too, what cross is she??? My boy is quite young too only 18 months and is a little bedlington x whippet. I admit he's prob not the ideal lamping dog as he is...
Brilliant, well done!!! Great to hear about a lurcher doing what she is bred to do. Had an odd one out with Finn the other night, did a great run on a rabbit but it got to the hedge ahead of him. He then proceeded to head in the hedge and came back out with said rabbit!!!! Guess it must have...
