Just messaged Ray and his ok. Had buck put down so has knocked him back but his still active just can’t log onto site. Will see if I can help him

Hi all, my current dogs have served me really well ( thanks Fuji as both from him ) but my bitch is getting on a bit and starting to slow down and deserve some sofa time and the big lad is going to be doing the same in the next couple of years. So, come summertime or ideally late August / September I'll be looking for a pup to add to the team. In an ideal world 3/4 sighthound with a the rest terrier or I would consider bull as the bog lad is probably the best dog I've had for thirty years growing around the 24-26 inch and with enough turn of speed to put down larger edible.

Take a look at this

Back about 04 I was at a dog show.I had gotten there early.The person who was supposed to pick Tom up from airport didn't show.I was asked to hop in another man's truck and pick Tom up.While driving this man's truck I got a chew of tobacco as I always do.Not thinking it wasn't my truck and I didn't have a spit bottle.I quickly found a McDonald's cup and started spitting in it.Picked up Tom.We had a good day.Treadmill races. Hang time competition.I was driving home that night when my cell phone rang.The man who owned the truck had drank from the cup while driving Tom back to the airport.When he

Excellent news Jukel I won't be ringing any bells, they told me from day 1 (August 2023) it was terminal but I'm still batting and looking fairly well set in the crease for the time being Cheers, D.

This might interest you ,Wilf; The old lad in the middle is Des Phillips, I worked with him in the Middle East when I was only 24. He was one of the youngest Fight Sergeants in the British air force and was with 617 Squadron , The Dambusters. He didn’t fly on that sortie but did on the sortie that sunk the German Battleship Tirpitz. He got a medal for that and one for getting his Lancaster home with one engine out and damaged landing gear . Now he had some REALLY good stories Cheers.

That was bloody lovely

First one of the year ribeye steak fried egg onions and mushrooms with crusty bread sorry I ate most of it before the pic

Mrs went to Morrison's tonight for à mother's Day present came back with a young kitten pissed wet through as thin as a lat apparently part of a litter that's been dumped it came up to her crying so she couldn't leave it all my dog's are broken to cats it's currently asleep between 3 of them when she said she is staying I disagreed but the Mrs is seriously hostile so it's staying and they say working dogs is cruel and they are ill treated never know anyone dump a pup at that age

Got a house full of the ones no one wants or I find on my travels Just cause you hunt doesn’t mean you have to be utterly callous about things

Her son today. Just turned a year old last week

Few pics out & about with the squadron

Tino..17 month's old yesterday March 6th 2026

Just if any body is interested this is what I got from the mud. Apart from the Queen Victoria half a crown which I found in a farm gate way on the way to the river. The large Bullet in from a 450 Martini - Henry Breach loading rifle issued in 1879 and used in Battles such as Rorks drift. The larger Musket shot is probably a Brown Bess .75" but has hit something so its distorted. The big brass thing is from a old cooker I think from the wreck of an old paddle steamer that still mored against the bank. Cheers Arry

Not been here long and I’ve had a chub and just had this double take . My mate at the side has had a chub , a 9.1 and a 12.9 pb as he was putting the 9 back

I knocked this up last night with the last bag of mince from the ram I killed 18 months ago, technically shepherds pie with some smoked paprika sprinkled on the mash to give it a little extra, was very nice ta.

Mill town missile started off well .Roll on next season gents

Started off with air rifles, then ratting with terriers, then ferreting, then foxing with terriers, then lamping lurchers. Did a few years rough shooting and wildfowling but for me it was all about the dogs. Over the last 30 years it has just been digging with terriers, lurcher work, and following hounds. All about the dogs for me. Cheers, D.

For me I think it was the hunting instinct that never goes away. Being able to outwit the target quarry whether it be animal, bird or fish. Probably started by catching birds with a garden sieve a stick and a piece of string out the back window, then letting them go (getting a bollocking from father if found out). Snaring rats or using an old gin that ran along the bottom of the fence at the bottom of the garden where the neighbour keep an aviary of budgies. Or throwing a slice of Mothers Pride like a frisbee on to the house roof and sitting in the old hen house with my BSA Meteor and tw

Just to throw a controversial stick in the fire here….. Do you not think some of this comes down to honesty and having the legs to sit a kid down and explain a few things in a kind and gentle way ? Like, there no way in gods green earth ten grand is warranted in a family pet !…….ever ! I don’t care if you’re Richard Branson, it’s just not on……part of the moral obligation of having an animal is having the backbone to put it out of its misery if it can’t live a full life. Its not something you want to do but it’s something you are obligated to do and I think that’s a great le

The Mrs has spent the last 2 days writing up the yearly report for our daughter...she went to the comp for the first 12 months,in that time she went too 3 different schools, completely lost our faith in the education system..so we took the decision to start home schooling ourselves ..there's loads of groups etc you can join for free,we pay for a Spanish course,on line and have a friend of the Mrs,who is doing her teaching degree,that comes twice a week,she helps out with maths, English..my daughter is thriving to be fair..My eldest lad goes to a ACT Unit after he was kicked out,of school for

Last night's Sirloin. Cheers, D.

So funny....

My own country England and a good day on the bunnies.....I know not the most exciting to some! But watching the dogs listen on the warren anticipating a bolt being in the right place at the right time....it never gets boring to me

I'm meeting a friend tomorrow who has just finished his last course of treatment. Apart from tiredness, he hasn't had any side effects . The ward sister rang a special bell to send him on his way and to signify successful treatment. He's now officially in remission.

Started out with stick and string,then got a chardonneret trap from an old bird trapper then started doing salmon while doing my paper-round before school so had a few quid and bought a mist-net,the good old days.

I was on Ozziedogs and Boar Dogs forums, both closed down now. I got loads of offers for coursing , working lurchers and terriers to fox and going out with the local hound pack. My daughter lived in Victoria so I had three months there and took up as many opportunities as I could . Cheers.

Why would it need to be an increase in income tax specifically? Why not a moratorium on overseas aid ? Why not cut all benefits to illegal immigrants ? Why not a tax increase on the likes of Amazon ? Why pay an estimated £35 billion to give away the Chagos Islands ? Or how about cancelling net zero and the huge subsidies and drill for our own oil and frack for our own gas ? There are many ways of increasing military spending. Cheers.

My opinion is they should never of been offered the operation, I know she loves the dog but 10k is a piss take, these people are not in it for the love of animals they are in it to take advantage of people like my niece

Big Joe raki grabbed my lad in PE round his neck from behind and started trying to choke him, so my lad dropped his shoulder and thrown him.....then wrapped a badminton racket round his head. It was all on CCTV and cool as fck. My lad got suspended. As a one off we could live with it...but he shouldn't have to be doing that every day. We have made the decision, he ain't going to school after Easter holidays. Already lined up an ex teacher friend to do a couple hours a week maths and someone to teach him Spanish. His brother does AI and software development so he will help with that side o

Wifey's Lamb Roast. Cheers Arry

River rainbow for the lad

Note the bean barrier Cheers, D.

I can see the appeal of hunting exotic quarry in far away lands, less appealing the older that I get, but for me it would just be the British Isles. No better "country" in the world, no better range of quarry for the sporting dogs that we developed and perfected. So a time machine, rather than a large bank account or sense of adventure needed.

Chicken Pie and Cauliflower Cheese. Cheers Arry

8 month next week

Shop keeper Mohammed Ali was stabbed 23 times in a robbery. After 2 weeks on life support his family have had to take the heartbreaking decision…..to close the shop and go and visit him !
