In Matt Hughes book Agree with Gnasher, the Griffin v Bonnar fight was great entertainment. Over the years i have seen some great ones that i really enjoyed. Pulver vs Penn 1, Couture vs Liddell 1, Couture vs Ortiz, many early fights were great to watch but are a countrymile away from todays technical fighters, anyone remember Abbott vs Mattua or Frye vs Takayama?

Very hard to get into and low pay generally. Afraid to sound like an old fart BUT nowdays most jobs require formal qualifications and you have a better chance of getting the job you want with them..........

Looked at it back in 1990 and 2009, bottom line is its not easy, land isn't cheap and the main problem is power, waste and legislation.

I think we all have regrets of some sort BUT you only get one shot at this life so enjoy what you can from it, Iregret wasting giving time, money and any scrap of emotion to a couple of people, my life has changed dramatically over the last few years but i'm now happier than i have been despite less money, smaller house etc etc, as you get older you realise your partner, family, great friends and lifestyle are all you need.......... Best not to dwell on regrets, you can't change it, i have my kids, partner, some great friends, my dogs and touch wood my health, anything else is a bonus

ITS not pointless thread I siad >>>>>>>which has been seen in action?<<<<<<<<< And as i said "If you have to ask why its laughable"
-
A well bred whippet imo Resist urge for sarcasm........
-
What a pointless thread, and if you have to ask why then its laughable........Ive seen a few lads dogs of various breeding work but im sure they wont want me discussing it on here and the feeling is mutual.......

Had a couple of bites when man work training, a German Shepherd latched onto my arse, everybody found it highly amusing at the time Another time a Bouvier Des Flandres put two fangs into my forearm on a misplaced bite.....Worst one was about 12 years ago my old terrier used to like grabbing anything to hang onto and decided she liked the draw cord of my jacket so she jumped, missed and bit my testicles, had me pole axed on the floor and at the docs the next day as everything went swollen and black

how long should i rest my dog 4 ?
Simoman replied to mikeydogscotland's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
mate its the blood build up that congeils and then callouses,ive heard and used that method before,but i know better now dont mean to sound condesending ,but thats from 2 very good greyhound specialists atb That was the advice i got last December from George Drake and Tom Peppercorn, two of the most respected greyhound men when my bitch knocked a toe (not broken) -
have you read more country mischief? i liked country mischief and earth dogs and running dogs was exellent so looking at getting more country mischief, any good? Yeah mate..ive read more country mischief but for some reason(imo)it doesnt live up to the first part...still a good read nonetheless and definatley worth buying...atb stabba The only reason stabba ain't read the third book by Didrickson is because he hasn't taken it off my shelf yet, i'm stabbas personal fieldsports library

Mine start this week. They will be getting 3 miles roadwalking for a fortnight, followed by 2 miles on the bike for a week, then a mile roadwalking and free running exercise for a week, then it will be 4 miles on the bike and free running exercise until the season starts. Then lamping will get them really fit. I'll take some before and after shots come September

No......

how long should i rest my dog 4 ?
Simoman replied to mikeydogscotland's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
If its just a knocked toe, cut the nail right back to the quick, cage rest her for week or so and no free running exercise for a month...... -
I can only imagine, i'm paranoid about keeping an eye on my lot, I know some say its good that you KNOW if there is a threat on your doorstep but I wouldn't want a sick menace like that anywhere near my house. No doubt they won't last long before being relocated anyway as the residents would make life hell for them.........
