Nahhhh dont buy it lol if its not about fishing then it wont be called mortimer and whitehouse go fishing, it would be called, playing chess or, scratching a nut sack or something, to be honest they do fish some lovely rivers and id love a chuck with whitehouse, i rekon he would be a good laugh
yes, but if it was 100% just about fishing , lot of people would turn off deff, im not fisherman , my late father in law was, and the wife brother in law, top class fisher man, won loads of competitions , price money = rods etc , ive had look with her late dad, but not for me, l like being on the move , thats prob why stuck at lamping for 37 years , catching stuff, and being fookin chased few times lol. But i do like the program , there both good, ive watched all the programs and enjoyed them, take it for what it is ,( light easy entertainment )

I haven't weight her but she is a fat lump and iv never seen a dog eat as fast as her you would think its her last meal need to get a slow feeding bowl slow her down
how would that work then ? just curious how it be done. never had any dog like that, the only breeds i know that eat for England are fooken Labs, there greedy animals . how much you feeding the dog, maybe it not getting enough , so wolfs it down just thought. plus acd dogs in pure form are small stocky dogs anyway , even if sighthound ion the acd prob strong gene , all my lurchers eat fairly quick when younger, but slowed up as they got older .!

If you can't find the named lines you are after a quick scroll through Instagram will find you working whippet lines. Without going too far North, I have a hedgerunner dog who does the job for me and a litter brother also I know is good. Jolly quick have some good looking pups
is that the name of the ped headgerunner whippets ? i might be wrong here , but going back when i had my none ped racing bitch , she was 20 in 20 lb , fast, good on rabbits , some of the males hit 23 in 34 lb , tough little dogs pile into foxes no prob if you let the buggers lol. they had in three genes staff bull, greyhound , that give them that toughness . agilty, pace, and not bsad stamina for sprinters . i did see few ped working whippets back then in the 80s , being honest i felt the none ped offered that bit more , away from the track, ok all whippets feel the cold, and get knocked up feet as working dogs . but if me i deff give a none ped whippet a go, or small grew , before i bought a ped whippet , but that just me .?

just watched the face off with fury v usyk , fookin fury pushing his nut right into usyk, making near loose his balance etc. ok fury got that extra weight and height, but fook me need that in the ring, i thought usyk was going pull one back and crack him, fury giving all the big bollocks that he knock him out dead quick , and said he usyk was scared of him maybe, maybe not, but i know one thing ( if) they ever do get in the ring together , fury will have to stop usyk early in the fight, if not he stop fury , he proved that twice when he as to, he can come on very strong the end of the fight, ithink fury win, as size be the factor, but usyk wont deff be a walk in the park as fury say , deff not .!

Well, born 1952, and didn't have a great educational experience, in them days, if you weren't in the A class, you were factory fodder, building site fodder, I did both. OK I ended up with well payed job at my local brewery, was there 25 years. So I done OK really, no trade or education to speak off, but had good wage, and fooked lower back, and knee now. But one thing I always fancied doing was ( glass blowing) doing that kind of job, and getting good wage for it be good job I reckon.? But like everything in life, you can't live in the past, what's done is done, as they say.

Hopefully Usyk will nail his mouth shut after the shite he was spouting yesterday
The only way I can see Fury winning is by using his size and weight in a clinch
that true , his size be the factor in this fight, but both be up for this fight, fury come in prob bit lighter and sharper . b ut so will be usyk he deff be sharp and fast for this fight, he know fury will drop his weight 2 1/2 st all over him and use his extra 6in over usyk . but i really believe will know this and try to get in with hard body shots , to drop furys long reach. i keep saying usyk not that small 6ft 3in 15st 10lb , same size what Ali was , he deff could ko fury , i deff pay to what this fight.

Gov have released example pics of XL Bullys and is it just me or would these dogs (especially 2 and 3) have been covered under pit type anyway?
i see what you mean, even though nothing like proer apbt = bulldog , the cops rspca , would label the same breed, after all there pit x abd x mastiff type x there really poor bred ( bandog) . and even though license or retraining be good thing , but the divs macho types would never do it. feck me i have enough probs with think lab owners and dob owners going at my old dog Buck , Christ he 11 year old , ive had go out early to avoid them. ist time in long while that i wish i had one of our old line staffs we had in the 60s, he kill them feckin labs or dob , but suppose it be my dog that pay the price through them wankers .

usyk fury 17 feb
joshua signed to fight wallin instead a wilder
parker took the wilder fight both 23rd december
and average don’t win every belt there is shaark lol
well, will these 2 really get in the ring and fight on feb 17th.?? or will fury find another way out of it .? i carnt really see the prob with fury fighting usyk, because usyk will deff be a easier type fight. he use his 18 st and drop all over usyk, with the extra 2 1/2 st and 6in reach , it be i think to much for usyk to break down, fury stop usyk latter rounds, unless usyk can find away to get in low and hard on fury, if so he knock fury deff out. when fury had step up to the mark on a strong big hungry as big strong, like been said he couldnt do it. lets hope they fight he get the 4 belts , then fooks off, and retires , and let some new heavies who want to fight more than once a year .

nice that, build to take few bangs/ bumps. i had kelpie x collie x grey bitch in the 80s looked very similar in color build was 23 in 50 odd lb strong with it. she was hard nails , great on rabbits, couple foxes, great type knock about type, the types i like. But her temp was bad, she was dangerous with other dogs, and people, with me she was great very loyal protective deff, any stranger get to close she nail them. it was her protective nature , that was her down fall. she started to get funny with my wife and back then my young 8 year old son, she snapped at him, i give her good hiding , but you could see the look in her eye if he walked in the room, so put her down, fookin shame really great worker .

mine bit like jukel123 , as ive said on here lot of times , when a kid in w-ton was brought up with heinz 57s= mongrels , and bull breed = working line staffs, and later bullmastiffs . when going back 37 years , i was walking my bullmastiff bitch by a golf course , had her on the lead she could be funny with other dogs, when what thought what was greyhound , ran flat out on the edge green, go right over a gate after tree rat. i thought fook me never seen a greyhound do that, the bloke got his dog back, then started to walk by me with it on a lead. i said never see greyhound do that, he said it not, it a lurcher, it x salukix grey x collie x grey, it was tall 27in string build brindle smooth coat, so thats why i thought was greyhound . we got chatting said he take me out early morning , said the dog a male get few rabbits and the odd fox if any about, well a thought got to see this for me self. so went next morning , no fox but couple rabbits, thought great, when had slow big bullmastiffs, or dog aggressive staffs types , be nice change. and then i got my 1st lurcher beddy x whippet x grey , was ok never really got on with it, then had few colliexs and lurcher xlurchers, bullxs, and my old dog now 1x gsd x grey Buck, and i still have another even when he gone , i think lurchers get in you , and never really leave you, they great dogs workers/ pets deff Ray

It's putting it at floor level but also trying to stop the dogs covering it with bedding etc I think mate..as dc said a raised floor sounds like a good idea..and maybe put a thin ply floor above it etc..so essentially it will have a heated floor in the the box..
Why not just use a normal type heat lamp. I've got 2 red bulb lamps hanging from bracket in the kennel, it gives of enough heat, as dogs will flat out, they don't curl up, like most dog when there cold
All heat is supposed to do, is take chill out of the air, and keep comfortable at room temperature, they haven't got to be to hot, unless there skinny type whippet with thin coat lol, get a dog with thick coat. Old Buck got great coat. Don't feel the cold. But he 11 so put lamp on now, if forecast frost next day.

What did the bitches in Bucks litter turn out like mate its a cross i might be tempted at trying just for mooching about local and having a dog with a guarding instinct due to crime being on the increase were i live.
the bitches, made 26in, nice strong frame , but not like Buck or his brother had. but as ive always said on here , he good pace for big dog and agilty , they all got a long stride on them, so cover ground quick, had good wind, bitches were the same. they bit full on as well after quarry , he landed on fookin wire etc , but go through a wood in the dark after his quarry didnt get hurt, but i think me getting out as 10 week old pup, he tag long no prob, he got used it, lot of his catches' were out the beam anyway , trigger on here say the same about him. it very good x as lamping dog, if you get the dogs well bred working gsd bitch x to good greyhound , it do what you want deff. but because there not your your run of the mill type ( common ) lurcher , be hard to get one, maybe was lucky , ive always said on here, there deff step up from a collie x grey, and thats all i ever wanted , thats what old Buck is.
