  1. Would you ever consider a dog from this breeding JD?
  2. Some dogs just take a while for the penny to drop Although they do say dogs can be like there owners :kiss:
  3. I've got a titled male at stud. Parents direct imports from Belgium, ALL pedigree Schutzhund III titled dogs at least. Sired security/police and sport dogs, also a cattle herding dog Haemophilia negative and hip score of 2:2. Not ONE show dog in ancestry £200
  4. Hi Willy, Yes the clip showed malis with the Dutch police, did you see the end of the clip where the dog latches onto its own handler I've been running manwork classes/courses since 1997, instructing service/security/sport/ dog handlers and after seeing various breeds and hundreds of dogs a well bred (this is soooo important) GSD is IMO the best manwork dog.
  5. How was the dog on fox and what is the dogs stamina like? (pre-ban) Simon
  6. The funny thing is I said it was ok but had prefered Dave Harcombes book :11:
  7. I didn't know he wrote it until recently I stayed at his place in Caithness as a teenager and at the time he asked me what I thought of the Working Terrier by Mark Giles and the books of Michael Shaw
  8. I bought this book from the Midland and have just finished reading it. I was surprised that I enjoyed it as to be honest her other books didn't do a lot for me. There are some good chapters on working, including fox, deer and smaller game (pre-ban) and some good photos. Worth adding to your collection.
  9. Has anyone got any "different" ideas for cooking pigeon breast?
  10. Is that the one disguised as a beaten up Landy? :11: ..............mine is JOEB Tell the truth JOEB, you couldn't hit the rabbit with the gun so you coursed it in the landy
  11. 9 Stone, thats 126lb, my two added together are about 130lb, are you sure its not a newfoundland Who says they would be useless? I agree that we have enough breeds doing the job and I would always choose a bull or wheaton cross
  12. I have friends who have imported dogs from thre Czech republic, Holland and Belgium. The parents of my dog were Belgian imports. These countries seem to produce the best dogs, although a friend has recently been to Poland sourcing dogs
  13. The rabbit population where I go has been decimated over the last couple of years by myxi, out with the lamp a few weeks ago, walked a couple of hundred acres and saw three rabbits In contrast in an area which I regularly pass there is a huge population, at dusk I can spot over a hundred rabbits in a very short time but permission is impossible
  14. My dog is exactly the same, he is a very inteligent dog but still gives 100% on animals he has no chance of catching. I agree although I do think they have something to offer but a couple of problems are finding a suitable GSD, the majority of shepherds in this country have difficulty getting in the car, and also the ones I have seen (1/2 cross) have not really looked like lurchers.
  15. Get all my meat from Landywoods, they are excellent And they e-mail me every fews weeks asking if I need a delivery....
  16. Am I right in thinking the video has some interviews, shows and a bit of work??
  17. I'm with you on the BARF diet Rainmaker and your human recipe sounds pretty tasty to
  18. how fast simoman? i have a light boned straight backed alsation [hate that word gsd] and believe this or not have had twenty nine mph out of her running at the side of van. like you say stuck with a gsd instead of a lurcher same here. but she will run owt .catching is another matter. great guarding dog though. clears five bar gates with ease and would give any fowlers dogs a run for there money at the swimming game. my mate has a half cross thats doing the job . Don't know how fast they are although they have always been fast enough to catch a bloke wearing a sleeve My younger dog l

  20. IMO this is always a no no unless you are looking at reducing your stock
