  1. If it was a square go . Would you tie one hand behind your back lolol haaa
  2. Yes pal . Run it for 40 year . It's pish noo
  3. If I was still at the game and were to walk out . I'd a be going slip for slip . No favours required
  4. Agree to an extent . You obviously did a bit wi dogs before shitting the bed . But I seen a clip few year back of scottys dog on a bit of land in central Scotland. Hardly a hare on it . Big land . But it's simply a case of any hare there knows to hit the farm yards . And a dog running fens regularly would have steadied up a bit and most likely get straight lined as they are too bolty . Now imagine i was to run mick with my ratting dogs . I'd be looking to run the biggest land 8 hares a week before heading into his back yard . The famous saying is " horses for courses?
  5. I did say all the studs . But it's hardly name dropping. I will leave that to your good self . Lol
  6. Do you call proving my words factual, hitting a nerve . Have you seen me rant , make outrageous claims or get heated with mick . I truly like the guy and will have a walk out . Admire his enthusiasm and his grit to keep at it after I'll health . He certainly has a real real good dog . Only real difference in opinion is he won't believe until he sees with his own eyes . Now I totally believe the 12 week old pup killed that adult dog . Honestly. You banger are entitled to your opinion. However unfortunately you'll never have the opportunity to show me that us Scots are taking the bait . For y
  7. Fireman tom contacted me 12 year back . He'd just put romeo to belle . Said he'd took all the so called studs . Including bully . And they all struggled to dent them as it had been proper wet for weeks . Took romeo on the same land and he had them stopped up and bullying them 5 minutes in both times . They got away into same wood both times . Had he a great mouth he'd have took some beating.
  8. I don't lie . Pitty I'm just an auld ratting man noo. Funny I was talking to robbie tonight. I told him I openly said floyd was a better dog than romeo and that he and big kel had been running fens all season and got their best runs in Scotland . He said you've to contact him direct he will put you right . Mind put his response up on here please .
  9. plenty old working stuff way back in mine charts . Think it toughens the out and out coursing dogs imho
  10. Was cornered myself by him in a village down the east coast after a day where my little whippet x coursing bitch did 2/2 . At the very location he told me it was impossible in a January morning with a light frost on ground. He met up with me to see the evidence and even a couple of pics on the exact pin location. The thing i found strange was his reluctance to actually come out a couple of hours earlier
  11. Unless it's been claimed to have happened in Scotland haaaaa
  12. Chart . It certainly wouldn't be detrimental to the breed . Unlike the typical show type deerhounds parading around the rings and for the most part being idle in winter . You lads who work good honest crosses and pures have it in your own hands
  13. You lads with the deerhound crosses really should get your heads together. Get breeding and sort the breed out . Select wisely and tight .. the coursing bitch chance was as good as owt out there I'm told and had a percentage of deerhound in her .
  14. You should breed that to a pure and straighten the breed . Any pics . Cheers
  15. Yes , but maggie was 5 times better than romeo . They can't all be world beaters . Some are producers . Some are freaks in the field . That 8 minute run was amazing to watch dog n hare . If it hadn't been for the bitches condition she'd have been in trouble. Big big hearted bitch . And hare
  16. As I said before. I seen romeo loads . Good dog . Not the best . But a very good producer. Banger likes buddy bred . Buddy better producer than runner . As I said mick . Ask either of them men . I know for a fact they wouldn't come back with facetious comments about cow shite poor hares . Them men came and went home with informed opinions.
  17. Robbie, with romeo . Big K , with his amazing match bitch. Alistair with muddy . Very very good men . With very strong coursing dogs . Robbies had 5 6 and an 8 minuter. A couple a 2s and a few 3s . Big K had a 5 and a 6 minute runs . Both were on fens all season, said the hares were flying. Went back down the road saying best they'd run all season. FACT . Ask the men . Alistair was shooting in Aberdeen ( geese) . Took muddy with him so as he could run Scottish hares as his late father was from Scotland. Wee bit of nostalgia for him . There one small hedge on th
  18. Nae worries. Just seemed like you try to put lads off the game . But like you i do a lotta hours graft . But dogs come first a 6am , sit down to dinner most nights at 9pm . I'm just an auld ratting man . But the passion is there to keep my charges bang onn . It's a second job for sure . Is that JY you'd be buying a dog off if the times right ?
  19. Bangers, genuine question buddy . Are you resentful of lads that's not shat the bed and are cracking onn . ?
  20. He will be beating his meat when he sees a real dog .
