    Well said DM. Thats my point workin terriers are more of a type than a breed. If lads were more interested in working em and less about conformation, the working 'lakies' would be in safe hands!
  2. Kaizer Sozĕ
    No Struck me as a decent & thorough account of fell terrier origins and history including pics of each terriermans/hunts dogs. None of which conform to a certain type. Which terriermen should not have been included?
  3. Kaizer Sozĕ
    Was Plummers book 'the fell terrier' accurate?

    Morton genuine question : what is a lakeland? What does one look like? Was the real lakeland not a fell terrier. a type that came in all shapes and sizes Red, Black and Black and Tan rough, broken and maybe even smooth coated?

    The start of the season can be fairly mild over here can anyone recommend a short length jacket, hard wearing relatively waterproof not too heavy but not as light as a dpm? Thanks..
  9. Kaizer Sozĕ

  10. Kaizer Sozĕ

    Not big into ratting but that is some result FD. Amazing how that amount of rats are about those sheds and besides seeing the odd one they go unnoticed...Unreal!

    Pedigrees are hugely important. But you need to know your line. Even though you may never have seen em you need to know the important individuals to concentrate on. We have as far back as anyone does with regards to the line we work, thanks to the kindness of the previous and present generation including Tommy himself. And like the men before us we pass them on to lads we know to be genuine. Pups are never sold but given away. Helping each other is the name of the game, for the benefit of the line and our sport. How did those who now keep pedigrees to themselves, obtain the pedigrees of their

    Well said p3d. Cant understand lieing. Its very simple be honest with yourself and others and you cant go wrong!

    I thought Cyril Breay was known to refute any idea of Bull in his line of terrier?

    As youngfellas we kept a few lurchers for fox and rabbit. We did course the odd hare but always with fair law and with never more than two dogs. Hares were rarely caught. Never did we slip a dog on a hare at night, having learned early on how vulnerable & stupid they are on the lamp. But we were often confronted both day and night by members of the local coursing club. Likewise landowners often confronted us again looking out for the hares on behalf of the coursing club. We didnt mind they seemed to realise we were genuine and no threat to the hares. So in my limited experience the coursin

    The problem with the antis is that they allow blinkered emotions take over from rational common sense! They never considered what happens when foxhunting is banned. Everyone accepts that foxes are pests. And if you dont then you disagree with the very farming community that have managed the countryside since time began and whose livestock and livelyhoods are affected by these predators. Usually the problem foxes are injured, diseased or a vixen with cubs. These are the very foxes that are usually accounted for by hounds & terriers. While this removes the troublesome foxes it takes the pres

    Sorry my mistake the book I was referring to was 'The Fox and the Orchid' by Robin Page..

    Good book by an independent naturalist who never hunted but understands the countryside and its wildlife. How hunting benefits both & maybe more so in this modern age...
  19. Kaizer Sozĕ
    Cant say thats been my experience...

    Its a long time since Ive kept lurchers. But I enjoyed many a night on the lamp as a young lad. Dont know how ye behave over there but in general lampers respect both land/landowner and wildlife. Its those masking as lampers that carry out thefts and well you know that!
  21. Kaizer Sozĕ
    Some young lads not as priviledged as yourself might only have a few lurchers in life. Its only a few rabbits or foxes ffs. Not a crime in my eyes never mind likening it to burglary or the likes. We all have idiots working their dogs on our permission but we dont own the land or the game. Its something everyone puts up with. Never have I heard of one hunting lad inform police on another. Ask yourself this if tomorrow you had no permission would you give up terrierwork? I think we both know the answer.

    I hope you're proud of yourself!

    Had some very enjoyable days in good company with the usual suspects. But the high for me would be two five foot digs one immediately after the other (one of which proved awkward), with my 11 year old dog, all done in style in the company of my 10 year old disabled son. He had been out with hounds before but this was our first father-son only digs together, he even climbed in and got on the spade. The low was losing a young bitch out of said dog.

    A group of farmers have publicly said they will shoot down any over their land as drones have been seen in the area just before robberies....

    None of my business but if it is the same bitch I can see both sides. FD gave away the bitch to someone he trusted. A bitch thats part of a breeding plan. Who knows maybe a critical part in the future of a line. When you give away a terrier that dog goes back to you if its going anywhere. Obviously the 'snake' broke that trust and she went elsewhere. Whats this got to do with Sweeper? More than likely nothing! Probably an innocent party in all this. I think FD realises this as he has wished Sweeper all the best with her. But if this is the case and can be proven within reason then IMO there is
