  1. They defo bond with one person for sure . I couldn't look at the wife wrong . Yet he seen me as boss . Took the piss out my missus and daughter. But never tried to take piss out me . Special dogs for some reason. Masters at nothing. But jack of all trades
  2. If you never owned an Ebt , you dont know how they get under your skin ?
  3. Aye , great dogs . Dont think I will get another . Family is distraught. But as you say , not many get to over 14 . . There was an argument over a £100 football polish lads had went up onto sport centre roof and retrieved it . The local lads had waited for the maintenance to get it on the friday . Anyway , they wouldn't give back ant tensions were high . I was walking bye with the pig whilst the poles were playing ( with said ball) . I opened the gate said give me the ball . When I got told to f**k off I simply gave a little lead . The bold fella went straight to him needless to say . The
  4. I lost mine on friday . 14 n half . He was a proper gentleman. Good blusher. But I couldnt break him to livestock. So he was left behind most times . Great temperament. However hed kill a sharpei in a heart beat . They are the missing link tbh . But I reckon that's what makes them intriguing ?
  5. Nice pup . Welcome to the nut house
  6. Haaaaaaaa . You cocked when I said I'd bring double what we minced the next day lol . Just give me a days notice davie bhoy
  7. A mile over the hill from there it's all moorland . Was good a long time ago . But between squads of lads being taken on and thermal shooting it's very poor now. Was always good for pups
  8. Other side of water d . About a mile past caravan park. Just at the little railway tunnel
  9. Did they catch it D . I can mind 30 year back you got them across the clyde from that bit on the flat grass . The made for the mast at top of that hill . Scary stuff when the turned back down ?
  10. I caught it in a place called muirkirk. Was known for whites years back. I caught it just on the edge of the moor . I couldn't tell which it was . As I was doing work in Strathclyde university I asked them if they wanted it . They did , and I was told it was indeed a hybrid. They asked to keep it . I later read that it's a lot more common in Finland. And I've also caught an albino brown
  11. They do in spring and in hardships. More cases of hybridization happen where numbers are struggling. It used to be thought thai it didnt happen . It does . I've caught a hybrid myself
  12. Bad news in a sense. The gangs will be on the moors when the birds are nesting.
  13. Farm near me had record numbers last summer. Virus blew through. I've seen one on it all summer so far
  14. Cant judge dogs in April to be fair . Think it kept getting put back because of the weather . But what can you do when it was banned a short time after
  15. Just transport them in dog crates . Dig out old burrys and release . Catch more rabbits from totally different areas and create a varied / strong gene pool
  16. He was very good at the barbel by all accounts.
  17. The coursing world has lost a true gentleman and dog man . RIP stick , hail hail
  18. Proper well bred . Some of the best producers in there . Nero, cindy ,Romeo etc . Certainly giving yourself a chance. But will they click . Pays your money and buckle down . 18 months ain't that long .best a luck with the pups
  19. My pal had a lab first x in the late 80s . Lacked a bit top end pace . But had a little burst and strike of a cobra when it mattered . Not enough of them for a strong gene pool . But if bred to type for 4/5 generations . They could add to even coursing types imo . Oh , that same dog was mustard on fox
  20. Good stuff . Teaching the young lad proper values. Summer fishing . Winter dogs .
  21. Be nice to see them bred with some decent pures if they do the business . Very nice indeed
