  1. I think the lads are wrong that you are D A mate . Otherwise you' be 120 years old
  2. Seen many dogs take hold but rarely without punishment and that's the truth. Don't disbelief the type being discussed either .That's what makes for discussion .
  3. Local pack to me would have sparse days if it weren't for lime trees and such in the park .Takes a special dog to do tree work regular
  4. On my own ground I shoot everything but if I'm on an invite and their wishes are to release then I release .These days I don't travel far tbh ,done all that so everything is shot locally with loads to go at ,more time digging rather than watching a dog heal .
  5. Details of all this probably left to ourselves rather than the net suffice to say no shortage of quarry here .
  6. In this freezing weather when hoses are frozen cleaning kennels need not be left til the thaw Not preaching just advce ..Shovel out as best as possible any waste then shovel in fresh snow and repeat. Seems comment sense but that aint that comment any more .Don't fill water bowls with warm water as that freezes faster than cold .See socks brilliant post in pinned section
  7. Hi mate .can I get a price on the pulsar x30 and 50 please 

  8. No one us questioning you mate .You have a dog with the knack of making things look easy. Nothing you have taught it nor s it in its breeding. Its knows the best way to deal is hold and hang on .
  9. Hold yes but come off unscathed no mate .You are indeed blessed .
  10. I have the utmost respect for all types of terrier providing it stays to be dug whether it' 10 minutes or 5 hours
  11. A f***ing miracle mate ? Joking aside ,yes I've seen it but does that sane dog do sane every ime it encounters educated stuff or just the odd time .
  12. If you don' know anyone that uses the dog as a macho tool mate then you've been lucky ,the game is rife with them and best ignored ,a blight on the game.
  13. Your taking it wrong mate and thinking I'm green myself lol I'e seen all manor of dogs in all manor if earth s and I own dogs that can step up to anything ,ask the Welsh lads .Time to ground comes with the territory but no one in their right mind puts a hard type to ground on educated stuff in a deep place without trying to prove to others rather himself that the dog is all that .Its not about head counts either it's about working the dogs .Time out is down time for work and I know what I'd rather be doing .
  14. A Call me soft call me whatever mate but I never set out to wilfully harm my dogs which is exactly whats happening when stuff is released and purposefully dug to again .Ive seen enough damage done by stuff that's never seen a dog to want to create more .My idea of a hard dog dosnt differ from anybody else'. Its there if needed but id rather it isn't.
  15. Seen it all before mate and the results arnt for me. Mine will do whats asked on some else's releases but not by choice .I know what I'm keeping and would rather dig more with a dog than see it f****d in kennels .Ive seen enough "hard" terriers to last me a lifetime and tbh they mean more to me than a macho image some favour over the actual work. Enough down time from so called green stuff without creating it .
  16. Some of you lads that dig and release CAN end up creating hard terriers from otherwise steady week in week out dogs or sicken them altogether. The notion that released quarry makes for a better dog has always baffled me. Educated stuff requires a hard type or it' not staying to be dug to but then same lads are moaning dog is too hard and only gets minimal work .I' rather dog gets regular work myself but that's just me .
  17. Just a question but is terrierwork taken seriously over there.
  18. Great pics lads .Are those raccoons all from same hunt same day ?.
  19. Sometimes a particular nasty opponent can change a terrier from a bayer to a stupidly rough type .Happened to me several times but all that's really happened is an awakening .
  20. Only the one cull a year mate .Keeper will have a few before doe season ends .
