fat man 4,740 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 How is everyone's season going to date.We are having a decent season with 2-3 digs each time out and all dogs seeing plenty of work.My young bitch[1st season ] is flying at the minute with 7-8 digs to her credit and not all easy places so happy with her,great when the youngsters do the buisness after months of rearing and feeding the best you can.We will finish up around mid-febuary so not that long left now. 1 Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,975 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Started off slow enough wasn't getting out as much as I'd liked to have due to changing jobs but have been out plenty from December onwards . Dug 2 yesterday so I'm away for a feed tonight and a few pints. Atb Quote Link to post

shaneg 2,577 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Worst season in years. Started a new job and moved house had the dogs left with my brother for a month. Got the dogs moved down and things were starting to look up and dug to my best dog dead Tuesday. Now I'm down to just 3 pups ready to start. They should have a hand full of digs each by now but with moving house that hasn't happened. I've just to rely on them now and hope for the best 1 Quote Link to post

shaneg 2,577 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 And to make things worse one of my mates was travelling up Sunday to get his bitch lined with the dog. I felt like an awful c**t telling him. Such a job he's after putting in the last few days trying to get the right stud for her Quote Link to post
