  1. Bosun it's because of what you wrote on here about the Glockners when comparing them to Fell Boots that made me get them. Most other boots have the spongey stuff between the boot and the sole which is what gets damaged and is difficult to repair.
  2. This is the reply I received from my local MP in regards to the Hunting Act repeal. Looks like they're not budging.
  3. The Lowa GTX's are a great boot, used them for a few seasons and couldn't fault them. Just got the Meindl Glockners as they seemed the best from what I've read on here for digging. I bought some Altberg Warriors in the winter but although they are a nice, light, comfortable boot they seem a bit lightweight and I'm not sure they would last long for shovelwork so they'll be kept for Friday nights down the pub...
  4. Just looked on the site, is the P+P part of the price or is it extra?
  5. Good posts Blaise, out of interest where do the people in the photos get the overalls from? They look hard wearing and handy to have.
  6. To me it just makes sense to let nature do the work, and if there's problems intervene and help the bitch out. But why fix something that isn't broken?
  7. I agree with the posts by Foxdropper and Corkman, some good advice there. Like my mate says 'a terrier's career is a marathon, not a sprint', why rush the job?
  8. You can't do that with Golfs as the filter sits inside an inbuilt plastic case so you've got to unscrew the plastic cap, replace the filter then put the cap back on. Its a c**t of a job without a strap!lol
  9. That's good to hear, do you know whether there'll be other digging tools to buy aswell as the forks?
  10. I serviced my Golf my self the other week, new sump plug was £2, I got oil, fuel and air filters and the oil all in for about £50 I think it was. Took me about half an hour to do it all. I would advise to get a filter strap or chain to get the cover off the oil filter as they are b*****ds to get off.
  11. I didn't write that to start anything about collie crosses WM lol
  12. Also maybe books like Plummers showed very little digging or otherwise photos because he actually didn't do it enough. I always remember reading his book 'Merle' and he had photos of what looked like the same fox in different poses stood with his dog Merle and his slippers on lol, with the caption underneath 'Merle's 50th of the season' or something similar lmao.
  13. Nice set up, I've been thinking about making something similar but never got my arse into gear to do it. Out of interest how much did it cost from start to finish?
  14. I agree that certain books recently are very photo orientated. I think with a lot of the new books with the Q + A type that everyone gives basically the same answers so makes it a bit repetitive. It would be far more interesting to delve further into the certain persons day to day life with terriers and maybe thoughts and theories that they may have regarding terriers etc etc, it's as if none of the new authors dare put their 'neck on the line' so to speak. The NS book was about the best I've read from recent years. I liked Harcombes 'Work Them Hard..' also.
  15. My mate got brother and sister littermates a few months ago, the bitch had a hernia so he got it fixed pretty cheaply, however it returned and he had her back to the vets and he's been given an £1100 bill...
  16. Don't think G Layton has terriers anymore, he's my mother's godfather and used to dig with my Grandad 'back in the day'.
  17. I get 500 ml bottle for £6 from local equine place.
  18. That's it Glyn, the better the food you feed the less shit there is. Shows how little goodness their bodies must take in from dry food etc as it just seems to pass through them.
  19. I'm pretty certain Messi scored 4 in one game against Arsenal?
  20. All round its easily Messi, Ronaldo is a selfish c**t and only cares about himself, and is not a team player. Fair play he is a good goalscorer but I think that's all there is to his game.
  21. It will work itself out in the end I'm sure so don't take it to heart mate, from the accounts I've heard he's a decent dog and his breeding is as good as you could want. The older boys know best, after all they've been there and done it
  22. Like Goat said I prefer to go by eye than weight etc. (I've never weighed a dog!). In a usual week mine get a mixture of dry food, tinned food, chicken mince, pasta, brown bread, sardines or anything that's left over from the table. I like to alternate the food every night. Every dog is different, I have one dog that holds his weight well and 2 that don't seem to, so I feed him a bit less than the others every night. I think it's because during the day(when the dogs are in the runs) the others are always up and alert to any noise they hear whereas the one that holds his weight just likes to l
