Hi,
Can anyone recommend a decent waterproof jacket and trousers. I want them for following hounds and digging so I suppose an all round jacket.
I know you get what you pay for but my budget will only stretch to around €200.
I have purchased army camo waterproof gear off the internet, but find that you still get wet with this gear. I was out last night walking the dogs and I got drowned even though I had the army gear on. Is it possible to make them waterproof again?
The local gun shop has Hoggs pro hunters and I was wondering if anyone has these and if they are any good.
I picked up a pair of North Face boots for €, leather uppers, gore tex and vibram sole, everything you would look for in a boot.
However I got less than 1 season from them and I wouldn't consider that they got tough going either.
After a few weeks a crack appeared on both boots and the heel of the boots wore very quickly they were complete rubbish.
I have bough a pair of meindl and you couldn't compare them.

Hi James,
I got a couple of grafts from a crowd called Birkdale, they are based in Dublin but will deliver nationwide.
I think I paid around €30 - €32 each inculding delivery.
They are a handy tool. The handle is a tube and not solid so it's not too heavy to carry or use.
We also use a crow bar with a spade head welded on which is heavy but required when you hit the hard stuff.
There was a post on here before and that is where I got the contact details from.
Birkdales number is 01-8311520.
The guy that I spoke to knew what I was on about straight away.
Well wo
It happened to me a couple of times with the release on the lead. It wasn't the trigger type release it was the other type made from steel.
I put a bit of insulation tape on the release which has stopped it happening. It hasn't been a problem for me since.
I have the collars and leads for about the last 4 years and they are still like new and are excellent quality and they should see me out.
When I am buying again I will probably go with the trigger release made from brass.
I use the orange ortovox box and the bellman collar.
I found it to be straightforward 1.0 metre up to about 4 metres.
After the 4 metres I think it may not be as accurate.

I'm looking to get some pennicilin and amoxicillin before the start of the season.
Can anyone recommend a good supplier.
I see a few adverts in earth dog running dog. Anyone buy from these and if so was everything alright.
Anyone know a supplier in Ireland.
Thanks,
Rebel
Managed to get in touch, looks like it was just a mix up, and the cheque wasn't received.
I'm sure it will all be sorted once I get onto the bank and see what happened with the cheque.

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone has ordered the reprint.
I ordered it about 6 weeks ago and still havent' received it and can't get through on the number.
Be interested if anyone else has had a similar experience
Another possible way is to get involved with a local pack of hounds/beagles.
Theres always a few lads with a few terriers and you can look, listen and learn.

Hi,
I was just wondering if there is a show in Kilmacthomas, Co. Waterford coming up shortly.
For some reason, I thought it might be on this weekend.
If anyone has any details, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Terriers and Terriermen has been reprinted and it is for sale for £49.00 + postage.
I know that copies of the first print are like gold dust and I'm just wondering if worth the investment.
Any opinions would be welcome.
Thanks

I was at the Kilkenny show last year, a good show with plenty of dogs.
Does anyone know if Mullinavat Harriers and Tory Hill beagles are having a show this year.
They had one two years ago, it was a fairly good one too and only up the road.
