John's achievements in both his personal and professional life were considerable and he was very well respected within the legal profession. Yet first and foremost he was always a terrier man both at heart and in practice. He was a true “Son of The North”. John did honourable service as a member of the Fell & Moorland W.T.C. and then went on along with others, to form the well respected and highly successful Durham & Northumberland W.T.C. He and his late wife Esme formed the backbone of that Club in an area where fools are not suffered gladly. He was a lifelong terrier enthusiast

That's the point fellah,...you don't mess about with the ferrets, and we don't run the big land, with purpose bred coursing dogs,.but, we all have a voice on the Hunting Life....

Slow cooked brisket. 8 hrs in slow cooker. I know it looks dry but it really wasn't

Well, I say Buck, my 1x gsd xgrey. I did have a lurcherx lurcher bitch in the 80s, who catch hares in the day and few foxes and rabbits in the lamp, she got injured at 4 year old, and put her down, shame nice bitch. Bryn my 1x coolie x grey my best ferret dog I've ever had, good in the lamp on rabbits, but only a rabbit dog really. Now big Buck been good on rabbits, better than old Bryn, Buck will take other quarry if need be, was fast for his size, good stamina, not a day time hare dog, but as most of my hunting was lamping anyway, that suited me, but he great in woods in the day, finding the

Back to having a pup again . She's 15 weeks just gone Friday there and a menace.

Back 35 odd years ago, I brought a 8 month old small pure bred whippet dog ,grey in color ,with wee ears that grew no hair due to a what we term here, a hall fost when he was a pup .The owner ,a rabbitter had sadly passed & his friend was tidying up all the loose ends ,so the wee dog had to be rehomed .He had been, at that point, very lightly started over ferrets I was told.I paid the asking price of $400 nz or about 200 BPs on the condistion that If the dog didnt suit I could bring him back at any stage .I re started him at about 14 months & over the next 3 years he acounted for load

Couple more plates of slop that Keepdigging wouldn't feed to his imaginary dogs. Last night King prawn stir fry and tonight's Hunters chicken, rosti, veg and mushrooms. Cheers, D.

Well, I am relieved that you are not going to go the other route with me fellah,.. you sound as though you are a bit of a desperado,...and at my time of life, I don't need to mess with a tough guy like you? All the best,...and thanks for sparing my life...?

Went out a 4.30 , and got set up behind the bailes , the silage was to long really 9/12 inches high, and the decoys were bearly visible, but managed to pull these in , finished with 41 , for 2/12 hours then it went dead Atb

So they have changed to an Indian variant !

Wasn't actually mine, but I had him in my kennel a few times when his owner, my pal, was between wives, houses, whatever, and I worked my dog alongside him for a few years; Bruce the Rescue Dog; Cheers.

3/4 saluki grey my best friend from 15 + never have another like her took it for granted the standard she set a old Shepard told me you’ll never have another better than your first an he was right I’ll never have the time or the open opportunity’s available to me that I did have with her and I’ll never be satisfied with another dog again everyone takes the p... out of saluki greyhounds but I’ve only every run small fields or heather moorland and the things that bitch done would change many opinions on them ...... either one of a kind or she was given the freedom and situations to make th

The one and only

I’ll start. My father got this bitch off a traveller when she was around 1 year old I was about 12/13 at the time we never fully knew what was in her just told it was beddy whippet with a bitta Greyhound but my god she was some dog for rabbits day and night definitely the best dog I’ve ever owned to catch a rabbit be it a straight course across an open field, down rough terrain or in woodland she always seemed to make a catch. She took good few hares too on the lamp and took a few in the day too but I wasn’t interested in daytime hares and where I am in Ireland the fields are all small to

One of my top 3 fish to eat if you know how to cook em delicate but far from bland , matey who owns boat takes only way he can sell from his beach hut to locals who queue up as soon as he is on his way in no export no mass netting to order no ice needed hes pro brexit and can’t rely on cod no more after watching them eu trawlers yr after yr decimate the stocks one of my fave fishes to eat he catches is the flounder again not everyone’s tastiest fish to eat but I love em and cheap at £1 a fish ? grill fish over coals is my fave way to eat fish not everyone’s cuppa ?

Another young vixen tonight. 120yds came in to my mouth call. 32gr honrnady dropped on spot. Called in a barn owl twice, second time I had to say "get fuckeđ" as it felt like it about to drop on my head so close!!

Seven weeks old, first cross Deerhound / Greyhound; Cheers.

Beddy/bull/grey bitch...best all-rounder I've owned,came to me at 18 months old after a friend went over the wall.a dog that just seemed to make things happen and catch where ever we went, worked with terriers,on the lamp,around the nets and with the hawks..had to be something else in there because she had some tank,showed up plenty in her time,had some good times up and down the UK , especially Scotland...would love another like her?

Pot roast beef today, with enough left over for my butties tomorrow ?

I'll say 1 thing about the rebel mc he got some things 2 say but seems 2 have no problem wi people going and seeing if what he's saying is true even my cross dressing ass ,I intend 2 go have a look ,note 2 lose as I've med no secret o the fact my dogs ain't woth a carrot but if his ain't what he says then the real slim shady will have 2 stand up ???

Don’t tell me the two runs are on hares on big land on your ground so you can prove you’re purpose bred coursing dog is the bestest ever ? you remind me of the lads who take race bred dog round all of the Lurcher shows winning the racing against all of the collie greys, bull greys etc ?

? I missed the foolishly made, but obviously intended insult ? However,..I am not ashamed to be called, a 'rabbiting man'.....in fact, considering my financial status now, as opposed to my totally skint and poverty stricken,...'arse hanging out ' situation, when I first started out,...I regard the jealous, spurious wording,... as something of a compliment?

"Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?" That line ,credited to a rather notorious Actress of the Classic Hollywood era , can still raise a smile today . Though the firearm aspect of the quote has generally been replaced by a less subtle reference to a banana . Yesterday l set forth into the woods with not a gun ,or a banana , but a fishing rod in my pocket . A little forest ghyll that is for the most only a few inches deep and a couple of feet wide had been dammed many years ago to provide a local water supply . I had no idea if it even held any f

Why not give up strimming a set area and plant it with a wildflower mix. Less work, longer term benefits for insects and looks good

Not a very bloke thing to say but lookin at him gives me the creeps, if you saw him on front page of your local newspaper for something horrific it wouldn’t surprise you:( last thing this county need is that cnut

Labour mp,s are horrified that he was cuddling a woman not a man

If I’m honest mate I like them all in they own ways & they all contribute to the pack but Brian will take some beating mate ?

Yes, I would only echo your words Toolbox? Rightly or wrongly,.. "Lurchers have been my Life"....without the help and influence of my working pals,..I would still be a cast-iron loser....My lack of formal schooling and my own quirky temperament, insured that I was going nowhere in life,...fast? My strong connection to lurchers and the kudos a wee bit of amateur scribbling produced, opened so many previously shut doors and enabled me to become, a rural Pest Controller.. For this,.. I thank them..? Best dog ever? Well, to be truthful, I've never owned a world beater, o

To all the goodie dogs out there ,some still here ,others long gone ,to them I tip my hat ,you have my respect ,job well done .Now Im done posted enough for at least two months .......later TB

This bitch has been the best Iv owned can turn her hand to most things and great around the house and kennel , brought on a lot youngsters , I think my younger bitch will be better at what I do now but no where near her at other aspects , not the best dog I’ve seen that goes to a dog local to me that’s now passed but had the privilege to watch her work in last year or two of her life

I heard about that farmer having issues with where the jackdaws kept nesting, contamination of foodstuffs destined for human consumption. ?

Not a very good picture of him ( Top Left ) Spring We call them Staghounds - Scottish Deerhound x Greyhound ( had a touch of bull as well ) 27 tts an absolute mental case with speed and stamina to burn Killed anything you wanted him too and was stock safe

Taking 60 daytime rabbits in a single day makes him one special dog imo, a rabbit is a damn sight harder to catch in daylight compared to moonlight

It’s no big secret, all the people in Westminster are just not very good.....simple. These people aren’t the greatest minds Britain has to offer, they are your 14 year olds head of year done a bit better for themselves.....that’s it. Given that is what they are, what’s the danger in just voting for anyone else but them ?......I can’t see any, let’s face it, they can’t be any more inept or morally bankrupt !

Picked this bitch up as an 11month old green pup.. put her into shape and started her on the lamp only took a few nights I had her watching the beam took to it like a duck to water,, couldn’t ask anymore of her
