Digger was the name of my first Patterdale out of Rocky. He was a good dog that deserved more work than he got, as game as they come though.

Here is another old favorite of mine for you Bonny Lad...he loved the Roe with all his heart...

I was brought up in a slum with nowt,hand me down clothes and suchlike,my dad was a bit of a cnut,i learnt to value money,worked silly hours at times,i do regret not seeing more of my kids when they were toddlers all for chasing paper,but I never wasted even a pound note,never drank,smoked,gambled,they are getting first class education and at least one of them understands I worked hard so they didn't have to.

I remember the big crash in the early 90,s I think when all the lads headed for Germany, prior to that I was working 12hour days 6/7 days a week had a gang of lads working for me, left home before my kids were up got home when they were in bed and thought I was doing great, after the interest rates hit 15 percent and every other house was repossessed all my mates were in Germany, I got a little maintenance job and thought what the f**k were those last years all about and since that time I value my free time and family more than anything in the world and just do enough to live now,, with as muc

I do believe he is not only from Sunderland Mackem. But he is without doubt Sunderlands hardest man. Here he is typing a post on thl With his heavy keyboard bag

Both crosses when crossed together produced some of the best pot filling lurchers ive owned back in the day

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

As many are "Town-ies" or City dwellers now, it is becoming rare that we process our own animals and foods. In a previous Thread I started I showed what we do with a half of a pig each year, this year I will show you the start of the task and what we do to prepare the pig for butchering and making our smallgoods. This part is not such a family affair as compared to the processing the next day.

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.

Went out again this morning to a horse training track that i got permission o a few weeks ago, the grass in the middle was a bit long so couldnt see what was i it, i took a shot at a woody on the fence and dropped it, as i shot rabbits were bobbing up all over in the grass, i shot 3 in a few mins and that was it, i found loads of warrens where they all ran to, left there after about half an hour with 3 rabbits and a woody then got another woody on a gate across the road, so another good spot for shooting now and ferreting in winter

the red bitch is a three quarter bred from boozers fred the other bitch is off the same mother to another first cross. red bitch 9 month just started killing the week before .

FX Impact .25 fac is the only airgun you would ever need ,apart from HW100k .177 and HW97 .22

This is a thread about Africa - Why are you posting pictures of Croydon?

You spend a day with your lad on the bank fishing and having a little bbq in this great weather.them memorys your lad will have for a lifetime. Money can't buy quality time. Even a day river swimming is great.my 3 lads spend all day in there.

Reminds me of the “Flying Machine “ pub near Gloucester, circa 1986/87 , Travelers tearing there shirts off , glasses flying. You couldn’t pay for entertainment like that now . ?

3 weeks old one of the bitch pups hear

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

Couple of next year's hopefuls and one for this year

The old bitch did a perfect retrieve she still got it

12 months here 19 months now started well

f**k the horrible little ginger b*****d,i'm off.£15,000 in 3 months is to good for me to turn down.i'll be back in november and i'm sure i could get him over to norway to make some good memorys for him.apparantly life over there is all about the outdoors. I'm meeting a bloke monday to find out more.

Same here, f**k that. That continent would be a paradise without the savages. We're off to Gibraltar next year with the inlaws. ...... Her Dad suggested a trip to North Africa for a couple of days - I told him that he's off his nut and, that he won't be taking my missus or daughter over. I went to Tunisia a while back - the country was a shithole and I didn't like the people either. ........ The only way I'd ever go back would be in a Vulcan bomber - I wouldn't want to land and, I want to be away sharpish after the payload was gone

Got to agree,.I made my bones with such useful, old style lurchers...great days, great times and great memories.

Not disagreeing with you that theres alot of shit about but how do you work out most of them are ? Not a dig or owt genuinly interested. Theres dogs that have took everything the british isles has to offer everyone is in contact now we can look for the best blood to add to our dogs find out about differrnt qaurry to test the dogs on and listen to other genuine dogmen and learn bits from there mistakes. Ok so it might be abit harder to test a dog properly at certain disciplines but you can its just abit more hassle.youd think lurchermen would be movingforwards not backwards over the years

Them scenes are a regular occurrence in Sunderland after dogfox goes on the piss

Amazing how it went from black muzzled Reds with white feet to black Blacks now?

Over the moon haven't had a Thrush in the garden for ages, then this fella turned up seems tame followed me around the garden. Cheers Arry

Just the two last night . No cubs ? A big dog and a small vixen , she has had cubs but where are they ? Who knows , I dare say our paths will cross soon enough . Set off about 11.30 . Snoozed in the chair all evening, the Mrs thanked me for my wonderful company as I left the house , muttering words like “don’t bother coming back, ya boring bar steward “. So refreshed and awake I started my tour of the newly cut fields . Nothing on the first lap . Drove the mule into a narrow field with a muck heap in the middle , a quick scan with the thermal, nothing . Then I noticed some movement on the muck

i've got a few others but saving them Tig the choc bitch ,( Rusty and kippers Dam ) Rusty , Bonney and monty

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

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.

Today I unblocked my dr5 without releasing the pressure first ? Full on incompetence! ?

Will kill the brush anyway ???

I know he’s never done a days work I know he’s a sucked out maggot that hasn’t got a days work in him but he’s very angry about Brexit ???????Ahh bless his cotton socks lol
