My mate sent me this of a house near Exeter .

Home today, unfortunately didn’t get my final day Rehala as it was cancelled due to rain. Instead visited the kennels of the Rehala president to see and discuss his dogs. we met on the Friday for a drink and tapas and discussed the various issues faced by us in the uk and those in Spain at the hands of the antis. I put him in touch with the president of French terrierwork so that both organisations can liaise and discuss their plans etc. Which is nice. Here our organisations just take the donations then turn their back on us. Alfonso works a breed of podenco called Podenco Paternino,

3 degrees and stunning ?

Having hunted for many years with JD & seeing his dog's in action all over the country & further afield too I have no doubt his new writing's will be worth a read..he puts in the hard miles season after season to work,test his own pooches plus the dog's of other like-minded enthusiastic owners who he walks out with throughout the winter month's too..he's a honest,genuine sound lad & he's one of less than a handful in this world who I would entrust with my life if it came down to that..the books will be worthy of a place on the bookshelf I'm sure of that ?

My Mrs asked for a teckel...I came back with a Plummer ? she's been threatening to leave me if I get another dog for the last 18 yrs....lost track of how many times she's packed my bags ?...she gave away a pup I bred and kept for myself 3 yrs ago...So I've got 6 different dogs since?...like I tell her...' tuck your teeth in...or I stop your money'??

Nice bit of topside on the go for today ?

I have a permanent birth in a marina, but can come and go as and when, I can stay out for months at a time if I want, I gave myself a year in the marina to get all the things sorted on the boat that needed sorting and get it fitted out with solar then hopefully spend more time on the canals and less time in the marina end goal would be marina from Oct to March and out on rivers and canals April to September ???

A quick response Jennifer, a manager at a local Lidl store, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job vacancy. After sorting through a stack of CV’s she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call them in together and ask them just one question which was ‘What is the fastest thing you know of’?. She asked the first man the question and he replied! "A thought, it just pops into your head without warning!" She asked the second man the question and he replied! ‘A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. She asked the thir

Home grown chops for tea

local wander today had two runs

Disaster struck on Friday, i trod on two rusty nails . A post and rail fence had been repaired , but part of the old rail with two nails sticking up had been trodden into the ground by cattle leaving the two nails sticking up . Jesus Christ it hurt , and bled . Then when I got home it started to throb , but didn’t swell up too much . All I could think of was how am I going to shoot at My mate Tim’s . It’s a great little shoot and one of the highlights of my sporting year . But my mum didn’t bring up a pussy . I somehow managed to get a wellie on . And once I got going it wasn’t

Love the Deerhound hybrids....? I miss them.....?

Different to the other Spanish correspondent, tells us it's all rollerblading and chasing fanny !!!

Well I’m unfortunately now back in England but already planning my return after missing out on a few things due to hunting being on certain days etc.

Being Welsh I could look well tidy or even lush? Best coat in the village.

Couple more images of the Paternino, I have been gifted a book on the history, standards etc for the breed but it’s in Spanish ?

Had a tough day out in the mountains yesterday,weather was kind if nothing else & that's a bonus for sure! I'm sure age has a hell of a lot to do with how difficult I'm finding walking in & amongst the high tops these day's..I'm not going to lie it's becoming nigh on f###ing impossible for me to enjoy a days mooching about up there ?.. anyways,it turned out not too bad in the end,what I have realised & i have to admit I had a tear in my eye is that Boots is all but finished now,he has recently seen his 9th birthday & like a good friend of mine told me yesterday if a dog at 9 ye

Plenty on here like that , always will be but at the end the day doesn’t matter wich part the country there from what they hunt , there just men with dog , nothing more , nothing less ,

I was always lead to believe two things about heart beats 1 ) one measure of fitness Is how much hammer you can give yourself from your standing start , I e from resting to maximum , the higher the range is of that median is a test of your true range of fitness 2) and true fitness is measured as your return rate to resting pulse from maximum effort level phys . Basically measuring your recovery time. The shorter the heart rate diminishes to normal level indicates how fit you are . Oh and grown men smoking weed , ffs , grow up . Couldn’t be arsed with making can pipes ever

If you beg your Mrs enough she might let you keep it in the house ? ? fecking hen pecked Messer you have to plant a seed months in advance just so you can have a pup couldn't make it up ?? beg nicely she might let you build a pen in the garden ??

Day number 2 over and done with and what a cracking day ( the guns words, not mine ) first drive was the tip drive and as on the first day this didn’t get going until halfway through the drive, I had one out of control dog on this one that push a big group of birds out the top of the drive towards Gordon’s pen, I wasn’t happy about this but to be fair if all them birds had of stayed in the drive it would of been a massacre. Back to the yard now for a sloe gin and a bit of pork and apple pie. Drive number 2, Oakwood, again started off very slow with a few shots then we turned the drive to push

Just an update, not had much chance to edit and upload any photos yet as I literally haven’t stopped. Wednesday I hunted podenco xarnego valenciano in the actual valencian orange groves which was nice, we had 4 rabbits and one was released. Yesterday I hunted Rehala again and we had around 50 reds and 30 boar with both dogs and guns, great day. this evening I am meeting with and having a meal with the president of the Rehala association, think he wants to understand my intentions, suss me out type thing. tomorrow I hunt Rehala with him for the first time, it was tough saying go

I'll mention it to the wife that I'm after a pup then sort it out and tell her that I'm picking one up she's never bothered about it really, the pup I've got here now was ment to be a terrier that's what she wanted so she got a sal/bull/grey close enough I reckon

Fecking likely, just got in after grafting all night. She'll get cereals at a push..... ?

I bet she sat there doing her nails or on Facebook whilst greb has to do all the house hold chores and school run for the next 6 months . I can't get how someone who argues so much on here so often as to beg his Mrs to let him have a pup in his own house ?. Geninue question greb how often will she let you out with it that if she says you can have one and please don't say after you have washed up ?.I'm like you poxon I just tell her I'm getting one and I go out when I want

Cheers, D.

Nothing worse a nice stock ruined, I know that feeling, you may aswell leave it & just use it as it is , it will never look the same again. Serves you right for poaching on my permission without my say so.

Down on the coast today. Cheers Arry

It's all about compromise bangers ,I am allowed out more now since I stopped using prostitutes ,funny things women
