  1. Bring back the vermin lines or giblets as was once called here lol.
  2. What more has a terrier got to do than be boringly consistent though mate.There is no more higher acolaide for a terrier than to stay week in week out .I dont read much more into it than that ,as that there is the ultimate ,for me anyway .
  3. Must of been fair few black dogs called Nigger though I've never owned one ,owned a few I've called f***ing black b*****ds mind for one reason or another .
  4. I rated the Fly dog highly too as a worker and a producer of workers .Fly was out of Razor x Cassy ,two more that lived for the game back in their day.A bitch called Fern had a promising start then contracted what the vet said was soil born tb that caused an ulcer type sore on her head ,stopping her from working for 2 seasons then £2000 later she jacked ,no rhyme to that one .Nowadays i take it for granted really that a pup will go on to work and there have been many greats in the last 10 years Vicky ,Bracken,Grim,Hazel,Cary,Woody and Blade to name a few .Thinking back its been a great life r
  5. Best terrier I've ever bred was a bitch I called Willow.It wasn't just the one thing that gave her the title but all of it rolled into 15 lb of perfection .Some found her boring ,like clockwork but l loved her .She never stood for a dog at all and had to be put down because of a trapped nerve in her back that paralised her .Very sad day that.
  6. Or we can all face the fact there are people out there who would do this .They bear no ressemblance to real dogmen and probably stole the dog in the first place .Word will get round the area and no-one will have anything to do with them .If they were seen then 5-0 is on the case already im guessing .Rose tinted glasses wont cover the fact criminals steal/keep dogs too .
  7. Facts lads please ,lets not let the truth get in the way of a good story .You cannot get your collar felt for walking over a sette with dogs ,in fact the accidental act of a terrier entering a sette is not unlawful either as it happens but digging into a tube to retrieve it is plus the act of disturbing a badger .The wording of the badger act states it is an offence to interferre with the sette .This concerns the sette within and not surround and applies as stated to anywhere a badger resides .There are guidelines from defra as to how far anyone can work around it including driving posts in
  8. I would say law breakers are in the minority in my experience as here in gods country there is no need to stray as game is plentiful everywhere as we nurture it lol. No need to tarnish them all for a few idiots too lazy to do the legwork for permission .
  9. Pups looking good mate .All the best with your future plans too .
  10. Shooting will never compete with ratting with terriers properly
  11. Only legal to rescue a terrier mate not set out to dig it .
  12. Barrie mate ,ive had dealings with their insurance people and was left very disheartened ,nay very pissed off actually at their reluctance to back up a lad doing legit terrierwork who finds himself in need of advice .I stand by the fact that real terrierwork is not covered by the policy but would love to hear from anyone whos been treated well .A man can only honestly comment on whats been put infront of him at any one time in life ,not hearsay ,not money talking just facts . No doubt there are good men in the org but yet to meet one who is as passionate about our way of life as we are . Ju
  13. To those that appear to champion the organisation ,i would ask only this ,why is there no insurance attached to our pastime but anything else is covered .It grates me that i cant work a dog legally with insurance attached but i can go out with a centre fire and know i have 10 mil backup to an extent .My own thinking is that we are an embarrasment at best and at worst something they want distance from .This pisses me off . Ive paid into all of the sporting bodies over the years and attended meetings but now its just the cheapest to provide the cover. In my life someone has to earn respect n
  14. You must have seen a different side to them then mate .Ive no problem with the class distinction they make ,and its there but i have a problem with being looked down on because i work terriers as thats definately there too.We are one of only a few country pursuits where insurance is nul and void if you partake .Ill stick up for anybodies freedom but would be nice to see the bodies we pay into, actually championing our pastime.
  15. All true mate ,sadly.They shafted us hoping to preserve mounted hunting but we all know how that went .I was approached by an Allience minion at a game fair the year after the ban and i can honestly say i gave the bloke both barrels .His only defence was we are not a high profile sport ,nob .
  16. Been a bad year for breeding ,not only myself but several lads ive spoke to have had bitches not take . Seems more than usual but only coincidence im sure .
  17. If there dog is shaking its head a lot you need to look in the ear for mites just visable to our eyes .Probably a burst vessel in the ear of which there are many .So it from the bottom so it keeps draining as treat any ear problems accordingly
  18. Same as EDRD mate .Get a few mates together and barter is my advice .
  19. Ruts officially over here .Watched a doe and buck yesterday eve ,grazing same field and saw 3 does on another patch unaccompanied.
  20. My take on it is this .You have to approach a suspected camera to trigger the ir .The detector i have access to will only pick up ir and not a dormant camera .The screen will show you where the ir originated from so its up to you to find the camera .They will be positioned with a good veiw of any earths so think where you would put one .On finding it you need to get into it and take out the memory card before anything else .More than one lad has been found with camera intact that then becomes an embarrassment should you be in the wrong place .Cut any locks off ,open the back and card is in a s
  21. Has he seen a few rats mate .If so probably an abscess from a bite .Seen a few but all need treatment so you did right thing .ATB mate and keep us informed.
