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

That was bloody lovely

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 suck 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

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.

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.

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

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.

Beef Stew tonight. Cheers Arry

No, mate. Dan Edwards who used to be on here gave me an invite to hunt coyote with his dogs in Illinois US, but I never got round to it. As for favourite quarry, I’ve been lucky enough to have ran dogs all round the world on various quarry but I still like to see a dog on a daytime hare or better still , a deer/grey type in full flight on a daytime roe . But I’m just as keen to have a mornings ferreting rabbits here or jump on a plane and go to Australia to hunt fox or New Zealand to hunt boar. Im lucky because I get free flights because of my job, even though I’m long retire

Wifeys Fry up tonight. Cheers Arry

France sending surface to air missile batteries to defend Cyprus and our air base……. Starmer still not wanting to get involved. Disgraceful and humiliating. Cheers.

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

I’d just like to be able to choose like I was as a youngster and not thought of as odd for doing what every male should be capable of doing simply putting food on the table and I’d love the fur trade to start again as we just took it for granted when young

Tino & my Mrs pooch Kali out & about in recent weeks..

Gus..

My choices if st Peter sends me back for one more day of my choosing... New forest hounds hunting fox in the big woodlands Hunting roe deer with a full pack But if I could have one thing back it would be one more morning with the Pennine hounds on the edge of the local moors on the rocks. Rattle a couple of cubs around early season, a mark, a dig and the mixed smell of crushed bracken, wet hounds and fox and a sip of whiskey from my hip flask.....but most of all the people who were there but are no longer with us. Just one more morning with those once familiar faces.

Rib Eye and Triple cooked chunky chips. Wifey don't like the Pepper Corn Sauce or the Mushroom and Onions. Cheers Arry

Never seen one, evidently they are very rare. I remember reading about them years ago when I was toying with the idea of writing a book about sighthounds of the world. Supposedly derived from dogs, probably Salukis and tazis, that the traders took with them along the Silk Road and spice road from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to India and China. Cheers.

About 50 yards then mate lol

That’s twice now you’ve said you would take her in you mucky old man she would probably rather stay were she is and take her chances

I reckon this isn’t a battle with a “regime”, I think this is a battle with Islam……I also think it’s a given that it’s coming in any place the west and Islam collide. Its inevitable that at some point white people in Europe are going to have to fight this battle domestically…..because the choice is it’s that or be enslaved to Islam. Hopefully politicians grow some sense before then and find a way to make these people go back to Islamic and 3rd world country’s in a sane, humane, kind way…….i won’t hold my breath !

Im not running out mate only took 2 for a walk this morning so back dinner take these get some paint fish and chips and go back.graft until. 6ish

Med rare silverside, roast spuds, spring greens,carrots, roast parsnip and gert homemade Yorkshire pudding

At the end of the day Dodge I like all the pups,none get fed,exercised any different to the others,the old dog's get fed & walked exactly the same as them each & every day..but if I had to choose one & only one pup then I'd choose the big black dog Tino over the others.

Maxhardcores pups today dam n pups doing very well w box bitch n pups always clean as a whistle..

Absolutely love being out on the mountains,I'm not going to lie I am much slower at getting up there these day's than in previous years but still we get there in the end,just means starting out hiking up there a half hour or so earlier in the darkness under the light of a head torch..hare & the tortoise comes to mind

I make no distinction. I just love hunting. Started off chasing beetles, earwigs and centipedes which I found under grass sods when I was 3. I've been obsessed ever since. I progressed as a kid onto frogs, newts, perch, pike, birds' nests in bombed buildings, butterflies, rats, rabbits anything. I've snared, netted, shot, coursed, and catapulted quarry. If I go on holiday, I'll spend my days chasing butterflies, lizards and geckos. I remember a holiday on a Greek island when one of my sons was about 20. We spent the days spearfishing and hunting anything that moved under rocks a

Amazing......The Royal Kennel Club of Uk " Lets create and encourage the breeding of some of the unhealthiest ridiculous looking dog breeds known to man and then when the government ban them we can blame the public for breeding them "........shower of c**ts !

Maggie..

I'd have rather he'd have lived another 20 years dribbling in a chair in agony every day, death too good for some

Chicken and leek pie, hasselbacks, tender stem and a cream/white wine sauce ( gravy ) I’d make someone a lovely little housewife

This is just my personal opinion, and I could be wrong; I think as the Arab and North African traders moved east, they took their saluki and sloughi types with them and traded them, and they evolved into the Indian Rampur and Mudhol types and the Chinese Xigou. As they went north they evolved into the Tazi , Borzoi, Chartpolski, Afghan hound types. When they went west and colonised the Iberian peninsula they evolved into the Ibizan, pharaoh hound, podenco, etc. I don’t know if the galgo came later or was also from Arab stock. Im not sure about the English greyhound, the Scott
