Its been a quiet rabbiting season...my worst ever... I've been lucky to receive, a few invitations to hunt with fellow enthusiasts and grateful as I am, it's not the same without your own jukel by your side. At the end of last season, my wee cur badly damaged her foot in a collision with some concrete rubble, she tore the tendons on her front foot and could not walk, let alone run. It was a bad injury as much as, everything else on her was working,..just not her foot,..a bit like having a high-performance car, with a blown wheel,..no fecking good... My first port of call, s

i've been lucky enough to chat about breeding with some of what i class as greats worker breeders of the type i like , but as Dillydog has said we only have the one life time, i've had my own terriers 42 years the blacks for 34 and all I've learnt is we are only maintaining the old blood lines, i sat in a pub once after a terrier show, no one knew me , and these young lads were talking loud enough for the whole pub to hear but anyway they were justly proud of their little dogs , but they were saying things like he's the best out of the line best they had ever seen , and how this/that generati

I've stuck to a line my whole adult life, I've done well enough. I've spoke to a few top spaniel trainers and some follow lines, but the bulk chase the dog or family that's winning at the time. Who's got it right ? I've just used an outcross myself, he's got a few terriers of the same line in at the back of his 5 generation pedigree. I've had my eye on the dog since he was a young entry, he's my type of dog, small and strong. I left it until he was a well proven dog in the ground and a well proven producer before I used him. Would I use a young dog or bitch with jus

Deadly Doris deals with a bolter... Safely back to hand

After a hard day on fells. My little side kick jack. Sadly gone now. Was a hell of a foxing terrier.

Nothing wrong with breeding a bitch young aslong as she has shown what she is made off and you know the blood behind her.I have a bitch here I bred just gone 2 year old reason for doing so was we had no other bitch and after seeing her work her 1st season we were more than happy with her also her work style was hard so we were also wary of the fact she could be lost to ground at anytime so she was bred.she was put back to her own blood and produced 5 pups all of which worked with 3 still going strong and 2 lost to ground. I repeated the mating 3years later and out of 6 born only one bitch surv

Vegans have been protesting at his restaurant so butchers a deer in the window in front of them then gets a bit cooked up and eats it right in front of them . I seen a video of it aswell and some cops go in to see him and they seem to be taking it in good humour http://nationalpost.com/news/toronto/toronto-chef-butchers-eats-deer-leg-in-front-of-animal-rights-protesters-outside-his-restaurant

This is the last time I will respond to one of your reply,s as it's very frustrating going over and over the same shite that's been written already, Danny nineham is a joke a liar and really bad news for people that are serious about the subject, he charges money for his talks and is basically a fraud, Danny nineham managed to con his way into a police helicopter back in the 80,s when the boy from trelleck had his face scratched in a big cat attack, amazingly the boy was nineham,s nephew and the police soon Sussed him and distanced themselves, he has never had dealings with the sas but as a se

Theres no hard and fast rules when it comes to line breeding. You work with the cards you're dealt. In an ideal world rules like "only 5 seasoned stud dogs of hard graft" are all well and good but older terriers may need replacing/kennels filling, a young bitch may need to be bred or a younger stud with a mixture of both performance and blood (breeding) may be more suitable. A proven well tested line is hard to come by and easy to lose! I agree 100% with FM and fair play for being open and honest. Needs must!, and if it's well thought out and seems the best way to go with no money involved, wh

Good pics them tree hands..

Theres good & bad in all be it dog breeders, owners, cattle farmers ect on no subject is anyone every going to all agree Each to there own. Im content with my choice wahted one for years, i know what im getting and this pup has a home for life regardless of what it can & cant do. That there is enough for me. Atb

The guy at that sanctuary told me most wildcat sightings are hybrids. Hence the wide range of catching and neutering the feral/ hybrids they catch regularly. He said pure scottish wildcats are out there but very rarely seen if you don't know what you looking for or areas they frequent. The ones in sanctuary are pure as is their offspring captive bred with very little or no human contact. Release them from time to time but until they think they have managed to successfully neuter all they trap they will continue with the sanctuary. They do a great job these guys and nice to see ther

People can now walk side by side along this path we cleared back

I can't "like" it Bosun so once again I'll just have to tell you ? I've seen close breeding bring down the size of bitches and conversely take the size of dogs up. I tried talking about it on here once and someone kindly put up a link to a paper on genetics, I no longer have it or I'd put it back up. If you cut out all the waffle and took it to the layman's talk it basically said breed out of your strongest bitches. A bitch always wants to be feminine, so by constantly breeding tight (without picking your strongest bitches) you'll double up on the feminine influence. The same stand

I would imaging things would be very different if the shoe was on the other foot and there were a crowd of meat eaters outside a vegan restaraunt screaming at them to eat meat, typical liberal wankers, that's a mans livelyhood being attacked and a few weeks of no trade could end everything he,s worked for, they are a tiny percent of the population and should go and f**k off

Hopefully council pick it up asap or it will end up back down dene

They are just another air rifle and the thought of leaving this mottley crew is unthinkable and I am sure Mitch will be the same. Never go back..................................I love air rifles and just bought a sub 12 FX Streamline from Si so it don't mean we will move of to pastures new NO MATTER HOW MUCH SOME MIGHT WISH IT Phil

Makes me laugh them pissing and whining about the Leave campaign illegal funding and CA-esqu manipulation of the electorate. Just sweep straight over the government blowing £8M on their own propaganda campaign backing the Remain! That was f***ing outrageous! I actually want another referendum. Let's have one tomorrow, it's a Thursday, no risk of illegal funding or a propaganda machine interfering..... never get tired of the shear look of bewilderment on the tyrannical c**ts faces when they can't understand why WE voted the 'wrong' way.

No charges to be brought against the farmer ?not enough evidence and the anti’s are up in arms ?

Hi lads border ratters out again tonight up puds farm at Scotland the team was me Pud and al we took Lola rogue Alf Ted and spud all terriers grafted hard making some spectacular marking and kills making a total of 81 longtails at the end of the night the youngest of the pack is spud my Plummer pup he is 11month coming up to nearly a year he’s one of Lola’s pups puds Plummer and he’s had 400+ longtails upto now he’s way ahead of his elf and these present pens we done has brought him right on anyway I had my camera with me again here’s a few pics

Looking a bit better lads

So I'm laid in the bath last night, knackered and aching from a days graft... my 12 year old lad walks in and says "Dad, I've got to do a challenge to raise money through sponsorship at school, will you help" i say " no worries mate, I'll chip a bit in and get the lads at work to put a bit in etc" thinking he'll wash some cars or something he says "yeah thanks Dad, but can you help me with the challenge?" the penny drops...." what's the challenge mate?" " Well I thought we could kayak the length of the canal and then cycle back to the start.." .7 mile kayak

At last , a common sense decision.The head of the parole board has rightly handed in his resignation, shame he didn’t do it before causing all this grief to the victims ...

How many times do u see dogs advertised say dog is unauthorised spoilt and that from so called lurcher men that haven't bothered to take it out and I'm not a hancock fan but people on these sites never say anything about there mates that don't bother it's all about stick a knife into hancock I surgestions some of u take a look in the mirror

Good on him he should have had a big screen behind him showing hunting videos aswell ......

It' funny really how all these people have seen loads of them and have clear as day pics in a gallery that is exclusive to them isn' it .... what I don' get is if they have these pics and are trying to convince people why do they never show them ? I'm still on the fence...are they quacks or lies?

Hopefully the lazy b*****ds that chucked all there shite appreciate your effort and keep it clean , great effort again .. ps , I can’t believe someone dumped that spaniel , I’ve got a home for that save it going to the tip ..

Your dogs aint shit, southern rabbits are definitely faster, and more intelligent, than their northern counterparts

What f***ing genius worked that out?.....anybody who is from London have been telling them that for 30 f***ing years ! Lol

I love it when data is 'racist'! The thought of liberals looking uncomfortable gives me a warm feeling.

Can’t see a problem in breeding from a dog or bitch after a couple of seasons if ye see something that little bit special in them. Better to chance an early breeding than to never get it. But that’s just me, appreciate other people have there way of doing things.

While there's a certain amount of "luck" in breeding a litter of terriers, you should know what mating is the best option if you have your own line/family for a lot of years, one of the biggest problems is that most look at what they have in their yard through "rose tinted glasses" and aren't honest with themselves, you don't just need to look at the sire and dam but their litter mates/grandparent's etc,,, You can weigh the odds of getting consistant worker's in your favour if your careful, aswell as a good dose of luck, not all will make the grade but it should help,, One thing's f

They were doing fine yesterday with loads out but very distant even the Marsh Harriers were having a look. For those it was a Canon 1Dmkiv and Sigma 150-600C but getting close is really the key.
