No, you can have "Manslaughter" or "Attempted Murder". As "Manslaughter" is deemed to be non- premeditated it can't , in law , be "Attempted". As far as shooting a dog is concerned, he has every right to, if they are worrying stock or damaging crops, although he sounds a right c**t, anyway. I had a dog shot many years ago by a gamekeeper. There was no stock near and the feild was ploughed. Me and my brother were charged with "Trespass in pursuit of game or coney" and GBH, 'cause we gave him a hiding. The case was thrown out of court and the'keeper was charged and found guilty of unlawfully kil

Me and Longdogrunner had a mooch around the Northumberland Fells, not far from where the Border and Coquetdale Coursing Club used to operate, plenty of rabbits, fox, deer, but didn't see one hare in over three hours wandering about. I couldn't believe it. Cheers.

In New Zealand they come in all sizes and colours, the ginger one with the straight tail is a "Captain Cooker" and grow huge. Allthough they are feral pigs, after a few generations they revert to type and are every bit as dangerous as the European Wild Boar. These two were taken, (allong with many more !!), around the Tokaroa area in the nineties. Cheers.

Foxlamper; what makes you think the dog is going to be a big 'un if it is only 22" @ 15 month ? It is probably fully grown now. Cheers.

Is the black and white a 1st cross, 'cause there was a big argument/discussion on here a while back where some said , (not me!), that it was impossible for a 1st cross to be feathered ? two beautiful dogs mate, heres a pic of a pure Saluki I had in the middle east a few years back. Cheers.

Hi molly, I'm just getting my small pond established. A heron took the first lot of fish I put in, so I got a heron decoy, it seems to work, I've seen a heron on the roofs but it hasn't come down and the new fish are still there ! As for plants; why not put them in thosr plastic baskets available from garden centres, then you can reposition or remove as needed when they expand. Cheers.

Lost me after the 1st sentence, Ian !!!, I'm happy now I can post pic's, will figure out the avatar thing in time, bear with us old farts !! Cheers.

Where abouts in the north are you matti ? There is a breeding colony of wild boar, (not ferals), in Choppwell woods near Gateshead, escaped from a breeder a few years ago. Regularly seen and causing damage to the adjacent golf course. Cheers. I,m in cumbria not to far away from Gateshead, bet the golfers would like to see the back of them Do you live in the Gateshead area chartpolski? Born there but live on the other side of the river, Cheers.

Haven't got a clue, mate!!! Couldn't post a pic, tried many times then suddenly o.k. !!! Then tried for an avatar, no luck, will keep trying !!! Cheers.

Try again ! Hooray !!! It works !!!! Cheers.

Now Now !!!! Mr. Millet, I didn't say that !!!! But it is far easier to put photo's up on smoochers, even for a computer illiterate like me. Cheers.

Just checking to see if I can add photo's now. Cheers. Nope; It keeps telling me something about my "Global Limit", these are the same photo's that I can upload to smoochers no problem ? Cheers.

A white rabbit escaped into the nature reserve behind my house and there has been pure white and particoloured offspring for 2 seasons now. I chase them daily with my pup and believe me, they are every bit as fast and wary as their normal coloured siblings !!! I did put up a photo on smoochers a while ago, I'll take the camera out and see if I can get some more photos. Cheers.

Bullsmilk, I take it you mean rats are mammals also ?? Of course you are right, but read the "Hunting Act, 2004" and you will find that the hunting of ALL mammals with dogs is banned, with the exception of rats and rabbits, subject to certain restrictions, (i.e., you must have permission), please don't any one reply saying I'm wrong, as the act is such a f**k up, even human rights lawers are having a hard time interpreting it. (and I tend to totally ignore it, anyway.). Cheers.
-
Sorry Mistwalker, but it is a "mammal" and covered by the ban. You could probably flush it to gun, but I'd want a f*****g big gun !!, (and some big bloody "flushing dogs"!!! Cheers.

This thread is turning into crap !! A.S.D., you should be above this, you've nowt to prove. If I was into daytime hares I would have a "fen dog", if lamping was my game I would try for a "Minshaw", as it happens I do a bit of everything, so I hope my dog will be an "allrounder", She will not excell on daytime hares or phenomenal night time bags, but she will keep a "moocher "like me happy, (hopefully !!). Cheers.

In my opinion, there are two variables which dictate how many dogs you own; time and space, (no, it's not a science lesson !!!). I've retired, so I have the time, and have space for 3 or 4 dogs, but choose to have a maximum of 2. This is so I can give them the attention they need, feeding, grooming, excersing and training, etc., and still have time for other things. I have a 8/9 y.o. Doberman and an 11 m.o. Lurcher and they are out mooching every day for at least 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs at night, I couldn't really justify having more dogs, but this doesn't mean other people can't succes

Forgive my ignorance, but expand on your comment, please. Cheers.

Back in the 70s I used to course hares on Sunderland Airfeild, (remember that place, Hylts ? ), any way, coming back from there one night, I happened to shine the lamp over the Nissan sports feild, I couldn't beleive my eyes!!! Hares all over the place. There was only one hole in the fence where they could get into/ out of, so i tyed my fell terrier to the hole in the fence and let the little old lurcher bitch into the feild; the one and only time I have ever taken 3 out of 3, totally unsporting but what the hell, she was absolutly knackered but would still have tried for her fourth, but I dec

Whilst being dead set against the litter dumping, I'm sure the good people of Appleby will be able to afford the clean up. There was a mark up of at least 50p a pint in the bars, compared to "non" fair prices, I lost count of the number of parking tickets being issued, and £6 to park in a feild was a bit steep. Still, no excuse for not putting your litter in the bin. Cheers.

You're right, a staghound is a foxhound used on red deer, but some travellers, (and Aussies), call deerhound/greyhound Xs, especially rough coated ones, staghounds. Cheers.

Had a great time there yesterday, far better than last year when it p****d down !! Took a horsey mate with us, he seemed to know every second person there! We were in and out of all the bars, had a good craic with some Irish lads who had come over to buy horses but were put of by the prices, between £7000 and £20000 for the ones they were interested in !"! Met some dog lads who had mutual freinds , didn't take any dogs with us as it was far to hot and crowded. Talked to a woman who had a cracking looking Afghan X lurcher, really looked as if it could do the biz, (would like to see it on a ha
