Asalay Alaykum, ya habibi.

You’ll sit atop Mount Olympus….or some wind swept, freezing cold hill top in the Scottish wilderness with the Beddy Master and contemplate each others navels….. Namasay.

My niece came over from New Zealand and bought a Lab from Lochside Kennels in Scotland. I had it in my kennel until she sorted out the paper work to take it home. I had it out one day with a mates 3/8-5/8 bull cross and the bull cross got a bit naughty and the Lab sorted it out ! I was seriously impressed. When I used to hunt with Mally, he had a Lab that came out with us, it could clear deer fences with ease, it’s the only non-running dog that’s got it’s picture on my man cave wall ! LOL ! Cheers.

I’d rather have a 3/4 grown rabbit for the pot, where the jacket slides off like a suede glove, than an old buck where it’s three falls or a submission to disrobe it ! LOL ! Cheers.

My local PDSA have some things you can pay for , such as worming and fleaing . I paid around £28 to have two dogs vet checked and wormed and flead. They weigh the dogs and give you the correct dosage and you administer it yourself. You don’t have to qualify for free treatment. I just remember seeing a poster on the wall about neutering while I was waiting. Cheers.

Local council dog warden would micro chip and neuter our dogs for free, but, like everything else, council cuts put an end to that. Don’t the PDSA have a scheme ? Don’t know how much it costs. Cheers.

One time I took a big deer x bitch , 29”, not really suitable for bolted rabbits. First run she went into one of those scree gullies and came back with a stopper torn off ! She spent the rest of the day watching the action on her lead ! LOL ! we caught the first blue hare I’d seen on that land. Cheers.

Is it Charts ? Is it Beddy Dave ? Or are they the same person ? Could be anything on here ! LOL ! Cheers.

He’s more ruggedly handsome than me ! LOL ! Cheers.

You can get a surprising amount of dogs in a car ; Lurcher and spaniels on a shoot in Northumberland. Fine until they kick off, then it can get “interesting “ ! LOL ! Cheers.

I’ve got one photo of me panning for gold in Australia, it’s not as exiting as it sounds, and it’s somewhere on a 3TB external hard drive, it would take me a week to go through it ! LOL ! Cheers.

I’ve got bagfuls of photos from the pre digital camera days, I’ll have to get them out and download them onto my laptop. Cheers.

The Hyundai Santa Fe was a comfortable reliable motor, 4wd but no low box or diff lock so was a bit limited; The Toyota was ok for going round the farm doing a bit of ferreting; Cheers.

I had a Range Rover in the Middle East fitted with the desert kit, long range fuel tank, dual radiators , dual batteries, wide track and big tires, etc could go most anywhere, but so could the Land Cruiser, but for reliability I’d go for the LC over the RR anytime. Also had the old Subaru AWD which was a handy motor but couldn’t go to places the others could; Cheers.
