I could tell ye a few blunders,...one concerning ratchet grabbing a bull that wandered into a wood I walked.....I'm just healing mentally .....15 years later

Well, I hope that you can continue with the Hare hunting, I honestly do...? We have loads of hares here, so it is inevitable that accidents occur,...same all over the country I suppose? No, I was only thinking about my own early days (1960's) with working dogs, and remembering locally, just how scarce on the ground, and how few in number, the proper running dog types actually were.. Truth is, I never knew anyone with a genuine Greyhound , let alone a Saluki! However, as the seasons moved on, we kinda drifted away from roustabout curs, and ended up with Deerhound and Sal

I at one time got the shit kicked out of me from a llama ,it decided to protect the flock of sheep he was in with,it was bad enough trying to keep jigsaw away from the hairy cnut,but the llama was well up for a scrap too,my shins were skint to fuk,and my foot badly bruised from it stamping on me,..how I got myself into these situations,I can't understand even to this day..

Low and slow cooked fall of the bone sticky spare ribs. Cheers Arry

Dug out this old pic. First A.P.B.T I owned. Got him late 89, early 90..... around 54lb and standing 22/23in.... Yokel

Never knew his breeding unfortunately. The story behind him, from memory was this... The litter was bred by a fella in London, the fella was raided and banged up for something or other and the sire and dam and pups were taken to Battersea dogs home. Battersea had a policy not to re-home a.p.b.t's at the time and the sire and dam were destroyed. The pups were due the same fate I believe, but due to a contact at Battersea, a hippy dippy animal rescue shelter not far from me took on the litter and put them up for rehoming....this dog cost the princely sum of £25! Two of the litter mates were

bacon cheeseburger and a biscotti blondie?

She doesn't do it anymore. Too old now.

I still think this fight should've happened earlier, whoever and whatever the reasons I doubt it was the boxers themselves, as they gain the most from the biggest fights, Did we really need a trilogy of fights with Fury v Wilder? Somewhere amongst that an AJ fight should've been made.. Or even before, AJ held belts when Fury was coming back from his lay off..now he holds nothing.. But better late than never imo... Said it loads before but Fury in Wilder 2 and 3 changed his style and was more aggressive, better imo.. AJ since Ruiz 1 has changed his style for the worst,

You are right about farm syndicates . My mate Tim isn’t doing his this year , and there are also a few around here that haven’t bothered . And even the bigger shoots were struggling to get birds . Most have put some birds to wood in July , and then had to put the rest in as and when they could get them . So they have days sold in early October , but they have birds on the ground which won’t be ready till late November. They won’t be wanting dogs in the beating line and the pickers up are going to be mopping up squeakers and wet youngsters. So you mustn’t beat yourself up . It’s a

A few of mine in the past

Bedlington whippet grey X collie whippet grey 21" coming 12 month old.spending the next few week off with a skin tear and staples ?

Thought I would up my small game load in my 30wcf today from 14.5gns of A2400 to 15gn. Glad I did. Shoots a little tighter. I shot three at concrete with a stone set in it smaller than a rabbits head at 50yds. First shot hit it and the next two landed on that splash. The previous load I felt was a touch erratic and it showed on similar targets as in more flyers. Next I went to a ploughed field in a valley and plinked to 400 yards. 400 was pushing it but 200 & 300 was straight forward enough. No rabbit wants to be giving me rude gestures put it that way!

Good shout mate ....... I was back at the beef and Stilton pies tonight - that time of year is coming back around again

Back on the pies, chicken and veg, with new spuds, carrots and a white wine, parsley, butter sauce ?

Some lovely little pics up here lads ? I’ve always thought half the battle the l apbt faced was the fact that some of those smaller types look like lively little Stafford’s. And people who have no business owning a dog like that Are taken in by that bully appearance . About 35 years ago , I knew a dog , what you could call a game type , not a pure , it was mix of about 3/4 apbt , the rest being wheaten and greyhound . It’s job was was to pull out things and end any sort of messing about . It did that job in a fashion that was quite the spectacle . And when his elderly owner was

Bang on.I can remember bringing a little 12 week old dog pup home who only topped out at 26lb grown.I had a couple of terriers here and a bulldog bitch who was 100%around the terriers and would work along side them and Any other lads dogs I was out with.She could also be left with other biches pups.I thought being a male he should grow up around my bitches fine.I carried him from my car through my back gate and dropped him down and he ran straight across the patio and grabbed my old terrier bich through the head and started shaking her.Fom that day on he couldnt be trusted with anything on 4 l

I think this fight is closer to happening than its ever been, but I will only believe its on when I see the two of them gloved up in a boxing ring Tysons fight

These 2 are in that shadow litter,ch.ruby on top and ch.meg below....

Here’s a close up of the fishing village. I think this was a winch for landing the fishing boats.

Had another quick spin down with a mate. The fishing was shit tbf but that was just an excuse.

Do we at least agree that fury has picked his moment with AJ coming off the back of two straight losses ?... im not making excuses for AJ just fury didn't seem so keen when AJ was peak.

Get 2 him quick his only ate the front half ?

I kept a lot over 22 years,all you need is one moment of forgetfulness,one slip up and it can be costly,...if you just keep a lone dog ,it'd be less tense I think lol

They should have left her at Balmoral, she loved the place. Seeing her being driven through the city of London with all the whooping and whistling, compared to how the Scots handled it I thought was disrespectful. The Scots did her proud and handled everything brilliantly.

My lads 17th today, went out for a bit of grub at a local Italian... we shared a T bone... was bloody handsome..

Regards bulldogs and horses a well known dog back years ago owned by an old pal of mine was on the front of the local paper after his bulldog attacked a police horse outside Tottenhams ground....what possibly made him think taking a performance bred bulldog to a football match was a good idea god only knows !

They'd have run away ...this thing was savage...if I hadn't had the pit I'd have run away lol

Awesome shepherds pie ? Cheers, D.

Holy shit Bernard you gotta share video of jess the tree climber!! Although "oh yes, there he is" might be creepiest thing I've ever heard!!

Yep, these big houndy things were certainly more thick on the ground back then. Personally I prefer a dog 40lb max, anywhere between 30&40lb. A proper bred dog with a "sporting" temperament is more than enough of a handful at those weights I.m.o.. Yokel.

I’m saying that it’s very easy but point fingers and tar people with the demonic brush of child abuser when in reality it shouldn’t be bandied around lightly

This is a couple of pics I took in Kandy Sri Lanka as you can see it was taken high up I was sitting in a bar above watching the elephants they were bellowing and trumpeting it was quite an experience, thought I’d share seeing as we are on the subject of water holes, the last pic you can see a piece of melon on the bottom left that’s me feeding the elephant it didn’t stop eating I had an endless supply of fresh fruit and it just kept on going lol I hope it remembers me they say they’ve good memories ? Just too add the 3rd pic that elephant used to belong to one of the leaders of the Tamil

Young bitch 6 month old.

buy the one copy....and circulate it,let everyone know their game?..f**k em and the copyright ?

or a handy little manual on how to suss the great unwashed??

Lovely chill in the air this morning! Bloody lovely!!

I dont think they paid a lot of attention to size back then mate....gameness came first and nothing else really mattered....besides which the dog is going against a dog its own size anyway but a 20" 45 lb dog is plenty big enough to keep active. Bird are you aware of some sort of Staffordshire Bull Terrier museum up the black country somewhere.....a few folk have told me about it i just wondered whether its worth a quick visit next time im up that way.

You really don't want to bring the headaches some of these dogs can bring lol.....consider a whippet instead lol

No I won’t , but what your missing is the use of photos which were rife in that era hold little to no weight . beatles ?? Get them hung …

it’s the truth though stiff you have to admit no way was saville around the futility king and the intelligence services and charles didn’t know exactly what he was up to you can’t be that naive

I think the bit that winds me up the most is that they can come here and get all of the free shit without having paid anything in. ........ that's our money - we all earned that. We contributed to the standards in this country. Not them.

Out and about had old Sally & Grace out today they really enjoyed the run and even managed to bolt a few, Chase continues to grow and improve, the other young ferrets enjoyed their work and yes I am still alive and kicking Ha Ha. Enjoy!

I’m feeling a bit better about them now, I was talking to my mate earlier and he was on about the amount of farm syndicates that haven’t got anything this year and will just be doing a day or two around Christmas, at least we have some, I just need to accept that it’s just a farm shoot but in the woods and I can’t be there all the time and can only do what I’m doing and it will be what it will be, just need to make sure there’s a few to go over my guests, I’m not bothered about the members ?

Of course,but that has to change ....300 quid,some food tokens and an Iphone isnt anywhere near as attractive as 20k per person to take back to a third world shithole where that sort of money go's a long way particularly for a family,who will likely end up with a nice little nest egg....we give 10 billion a year in foreign aid,that money used for voluntary repatriation would get half a million people off our books annually......not many people seem to realise but the Uk already has a Voluntary Returns Service i think its something like 2k plus return flight.....many countries have successfully
