Best terrier I ever had named Howdy is gone.I have debated for two weeks to post this. I have never posted on any forum on the internet.After much deliberation I think he deserves this.Gone at 13. Blind and selectively deaf since 9. He spent his latter years in hand picked spots. He ran loose the last 2 months of his life still trying to start trouble at every kennel.Howdy your gone but I will always strive to be as game as you.

Hi David It's quite possible as J R came over here to hunt with us and stayed at my place more than once. Unfortunately it's too far back now for me to remember with any accuracy. But If there were pups on the ground at that time, I'm sure either myself, or one of my friends would have gifted him one. We didn't sell dogs and my late father had always drummed into me "If you think the man's good enough then give him a pup and if you don't think he is then he should never have enough money to buy one !!!". Some might disagree with that and for perfectly valid reasons, but it's ne

Todd and Brock Brians very early terriers , before smartening up with some of R.Westmoorland Blood and W.Wylds Kipper

Nowadays, the knowledgeable and open-minded lurcher breeder,..has much more choice, than in previous times... Unfortunately,..now that we finally have, the tools for the job,..any job,...we have been cruelly, and unjustly gelded, by ill-thought-out legislation...?

Keep them ticking over start getting some fitness

A few photos of some of the old terriers from those lines which I was fortunate enough to own from the 1970's - 1990's

not a great photo of Rusty , C.breay out on the fells with him , Mrs Wyld with maybe Kipper

I'll let you boys know how he goes in winter only time will tell but a least he'll have a better quality of life with me

the English saluki lurcher that's been line bred best to best for 50 years to catch the brown hare is a far superior animal to the grey hound for any type of lurcher and people are to obsessed with raw pace

Just thought I’d let anyone who’s interested know how it went last night/ this morning. Set off about 11.00pm and it was still not really dark . The contractor doing the grass was making haylage , so the grass was still in rows . I was using my Tikka T3 light in 223 , with a pulsar N970 LRF digisight . I also have an ATN 640x480 thermal spotter , which is a brilliant bit of kit . I drove around all the fields that had been cut and not a sausage. Then I noticed a familiar shape in the distance going over a bank in the direction of a small field that had had its first cut about a week ago . I t

5 in the truck . A long night . I’m off to bed , knackered. I will do a write up when I get up and about .

Young dog coming on well made a fair lump of a dog

Heres my sal/grey X collie/grey....bought in notts in 1984...he did some big bags single handed and too a lot of fox .and a few big rabbits back then...he was some dog with excellent wind and fierce drive

In response to the original statement of the thread, assuming it is an observation made in the UK, the only quarry we can allow a dog to hunt, catch and kill are rats and rabbits. So no need for the blood of large Celtic dogs, noble desert hounds or a drop of the hard. In theory anyway.

will do mate worker to worker winner every time no matter what your after.

This permission`s rabbit numbers are now well under control. Just single rabbits are the normal nowadays . On the approach into the permission a single rabbit was nibbling away so I slowly stopped my van, got out, loaded up and took a rest as best I could, against the back of the van, range 53 yds lased. I had to shoot under that overhanging tree. You can just make out the white of the rabbit`s underside, centre of the disused lane, upper left to the blue water barrel. Here`s the camera view on full mag`. Lased to

f***ing dweebs!

when saluki blood was first available to lurcher lads the first thing they did was not line a grey hound, they already had lurchers and crossed them to the saluki, and don't forget no brian plummer slagging them off back then, may be we got lucky who knows, but I am not saying use saluki instead of grey hound I am saying use coursing dog, different animal altogether, just think what a greyhound can do and what a coursing dog can do and its a simple choice.

Punch a dog i gave to Limb , few lines going back to Blitz2 and Poker , Barrie your Photo of Snapper reminded me of him

I didn't even read the blurb and just by looking at the weasely Mekon headed fukcer makes me want to slap the Cnut sideways .......

Hi David I remember John's son and his friend (Shaun ???) came over to stay with us and to go digging and hunting maybe a couple, or even three decades ago now. Shaun flew all the way from the USA wearing his favourite digging boots. He said he didn't mind losing his clothes and other stuff in his suitcase "But no way am I risking these boots !!!". He was deadly serious and I've got the biggest imaginable grin on my face right now just thinking about it. The lads were a pleasure and we enjoyed their company immensely. John would ring me up frequently to check out some of t

Mrs wanted to catch up with her soaps so I was off haha... Just the one again missed two 40yarders bloody .25 cal hehe but ended up lying in wait 30yds from the hedge line and these bloody weird sheep came toddling past, they just looked at me in Disgust as if to say WTF haha...

Sounds like a peddlers dream tbh, funny how Hancock gets lambasted but some of these coursing lads are just as bad and demand a hell of a lot more money with it.

Always best to pay all taxes on earnings ?

Lol one of the finest Libby faggotty soya feminist lezzo bi non gender type thingy breakdowns ever hahaha

Guess Anorak is outdated now. Cheers, D.

Couldn't have happened to a better person .....

you should try living with half a dozen cockers mate, do that do anything, seriously though I must be wired up the right way cos I never have a problem with em.

that's mick lowdes flash he had a massive impact round our way in the creation of hare catchers late 60s early70s

The majority of lads ant got neither the knowledge or th experience,ta see it da what it his these jukels doing big coney numbers are few and far between but they would be more off them if the saluki or coursing animal used both sides the breeding with base blood ,don't you see it kenny fa what it his the arrival off the saluki they were bred ta lurchers Norfolk typed some. Had beddy blood in em ,we had them forty yrs ago we fetched a pure from down Oxfordshire my old friend these early imports some were very aggressive the one we fetched grew in to a right b*****d bite any intruder with ou

Kenny seems like you may have misunderstood me curs ,means like collie jukels base bred lurchers ,f1s first xes types.never no need to X again to. Greyhound that's not a massive influence,the massive influence I top coursing stock his saluki and the Irish use lots a whippet with there saluki coursing animals why , blatantly obvious they a better alternative I have seen a pure kill plenty field hares preban don't get confused with running style and no speed ..of course there are slow Salukis same has greyhounds but the thing with the saluki slow or fast they add all the qualities needed in

Heres my pure for next season...looking forwatd to running him

I'm shit at this stuff but I'm good at remembering stuff. A quote of TC's from a few years ago that seemed relevant...

This lads 14 inch n about 25lbs bread him from 2 I had of Brian turned out a decent worker proberly the best I’ve had so far had a litter out of him to his half sister to who is simlar size and kept the bitches they seem to have come a decent size aswell still only young yet 7-8 months but are getting ther in his litter ther was 5 males 2 a perfect size 2 abit smaller than whuld of liked but not to small and a cull what wasent the size we was looking for one of the brothers died after working contracted some desise and faded and 3 still working well to date

Sounds good fun Shortstraw I've kept all sorts, big and small, fast (and not so fast)...and enjoyed working with them all, but ya can't beat having a bit of a mouch, with a genuine hunting cur...

That would be the Dingo,good hunters and pets and the abbo's used to eat them when times were tough.Now bred by Davo down the road who keeps to himself.Good on ya Davo..

seen two from the same litter in the 1970s, both decent dogs, as far as catching stuff went, one was racy and the other cloddy, the cloddy one used to kill hares, he ran like a fen dog, every race lasted five mins and he kill it in the dyke, and he yapped the whole time lol

Yeah that wasn’t long ago, he was very lucky to walk away from that, I’m sure I read somewhere that they also found a castaway when they were filming around Australia

That's how to catch big fish!

Well I think it could well be as the old saying goes, you get out what you put in. The beddy crosses I've seen were owned and worked by what could be said as 'less than demanding' owners. Who knows? But it put me off beddy crosses lol

I can't believe you're still talking about children in cages, we've been doing that for thousands of years. Old news. What we haven't been doing for thousands of years is building a space army! A f***ing space force! I love it. Sign me up for the USS Battlestar Gallactica!

Use to love hooked on fishing with paul.young
