    It’s not bad Dave to hold but I’ve not used it much,I would say it’s the same size as the old milbro & dead shot catapults,what would you recommend to bulk handle up? Cheers.

    No welsh_red I had a piece of aluminium which I cut in the shape of a Catapult with a hacksaw,then filed the rough edges off then wet & dry then on buffer, I’ve a couple of brass bits that go through the holes in the catapult,I glued these to the bands with araldite and all’s good, I gave it a test the other day and I am shite with it lol,my fault not Catys but it must be 40 yrs since I went after game with a catapult.

    I made this a while since with the idea of sticking it in my pocket but I’ve never used it,in fact the tubes had perished when I got it out the draw! I fitted these round tubes £3.99 from barrnett I think,after looking on here I see a few are using a wide flat band are these better? Also we’re is best place to buy ball bearings? Cheers.

    Not sensitive I am sensible around dogs,I once spent a load of time & money breeding & rearing a pup for my self to have it ruined by a out of control dog that badly mauled her,it left her nervous around any dogs for the rest of her life! All because somebody didn’t put there dog on lead! What is it with people with badly trained dogs and not wanting to put them on leads? .the person who’s dog yours attacked will probably have a nervous dog now plus time off work & maybe loose the enjoyment of walking the dog.

    Why do people like you who have dogs that they know could kick off don’t put them on leads? If somebody’s dog had done it to yours you would no doubt be on here bleating about it.

    Dr johns hypoallergenic £16.49 chicken £17.49 lamb, it’s made with oats & barely No wheat, this is the best dry dog food I’ve used, dogs shite 2-3 times a day unlike wheat based meals were they can shite 3 time every time you walk them.i mix in Raw eggs,sardines in oil from Lidl & table scraps.

    Here's my new pup Ted, he's a Sealyham X Russell mix who is 9 weeks ,the plan is that Ted will do abit of everything,training him has all ready started with sitting for his food,recall & the odd retrieve .

    My mates APBT,it’s as big as my lab but looks like it’s on steroids,it’s light brown ginger colour with pale eyes,it’s impressive to look at but if that kicked off you would need an axe to stop it,I know there are some people that are really on top of these dogs and by all accounts when brought up correctly they make great dogs BUT I see too many with young lads as a status symbol,if same lads had collies as status symbols and encouraged them to bite people then they would but there’s a big difference in a collie nipping your arse and a pit bull hung off your wedding tackle!,for me they are po

    That’s good hear that your putting time in training the dogs.

    Each to there own but I think these are over kill for a house guard dog, all you need is something that barks,I wouldn’t keep anything that I couldn’t pull off a dog or person and looking at them they look determined & very strong plus there’s 2 of them.a pit bull terrier once attracted one of my dogs pinning it to the floor, it had to be hit very hard over the head to make it let go, it ruined my dog made it very nervous,I’ve a long time friend now with a pit bull,I’ve helped him train it regards heal work & general obedience and it’s a bright dog but I wouldn’t trust it as far as I

    Neil I agree a good spaniel takes some beating (I've got a cocker) but we're talking all round duties,few pics of my dogs of the past,the bottom pic is for you to show they could work fox as well, it was the white dog on the left that worked that one, the pic of the coloured dog retrieving fox had just bolted that and I shot it.when I had these dogs I had 6000 acre to go at but I was lucky if I worked a dozen foxes ayear to ground so squirrels rabbits rats I think are the best way to keep a dog busy,fit and there minds occupied.

    Shooting will be next,I know of large shooting estates were 500 birds are killed on one drive, drives go on for 45 mins,it costs over £2000 for the day! If shooting doesn’t self regulate then the government will do it for them.

    There can’t be many breeds as versatile as a working terrier,shame to just restrict them to just earth work,smart dog Terry.
