That's what I said the very first time I saw him when the lad bought him training.Like I say breeding completely unknown
-
Broke my no carb diet this morning.Couldnt refuse a couple of fried dumplings.Akee and saltfish,duck eggs,advacado and plaintain.
-
Just been reading all the comments from the Yank Jones fans this morning on fb.How Aspinall hadn't earned the right to fight jone blah blah blah.

Probably the best I've seen.The young lad got him from the dogs home he worked in as a stray when he was about 3 or 4 years old.Kept him indoors with cats and multiple other dogs.Dog was 100%stable round people and strange dogs and could switch on and back off in an instant when asked to.Took to everything that he was shown like a duck to water.Even after the lads mum accidentally let the dog out one day and he got picked up by the old bill and the lad had to agree to have his bollocks chopped he still went on to win top honours in pretty much every working trial event put on in this country.I

How many people are gunna use them to their full potential though?Unless they're being used in the military or by somebody who's training all week and competing at a high level so the dogs are getting the constant stimulation that they need then they just become a nightmare and a liability.Like I said the guy I know well who ran the met police dog dept and breeding program said they tried them and found them unsuitable as they spend a big part of any shift in the back of a vehicle where they would spend their time spinning in circles barking at every noise.Seen lads get them for security work
-
Fair enough but like I origionally said they're useless for 90%of people.What they're doing in war zones isn't anything like they're ever gunna be doing for anyone in day to day life over here.In the military in a conflict situation they are going to be working with they're handler all day long.I know a fella who ran the met police K9 dept and breeding program for 30years and still gives seminars to different police forces all over the world and even he said malis were no good to the met police as they just didn't get enough stimulation

Funnily enough I've never been to Israel,Especially during wartime
-
Do all what as good as them?If you mean sprint 100yds and fly through the air,leap through burning hoops etc.That doesn't equate to anything in real life.In fact when I was training I wouldn't even do long sends not that my old girl would have been fussed about chasing someone down anyway.My thing was if someone is running away my dog doesn't need to chase and bite them.And if it does I'm definitely in a world of shit.The point off a pp or guard dog is it should be right next to its owner protecting them or guarding its property not charging off down a field coz someone's waving their arm in t

The vids are impressive but let's be honest 90%of blokes aint got time to put the constant training and work in to get them to that level.Also a lot of that stuff has nothing to do with real life situations.
-
Far too much for most people.It aint just the physical work they need but the constant mental stimulation.Theres plenty of other breeds out there that will guard just as well.Can bite as hard or even harder.Could take more physical punishment but won't drive you round the twist.
-
Get ready for incoming opinions from people that have never owned let alone worked with any protection/sport breeds
-
Not that Ive noticed
-
Does Groundwork/bricklaying/roofing/plasterboarding/make you a labourer?Only thing I dont touch is plumbing or electrics
-
Mchull has got a Saluki cross that would beat all of them if anyone wants a match
-
I've been taking an electrolyte tablet each morning marketed for runners/cyclists and people on keto or low carb diets
-
You know he's full of sh*t too.Ive known a couple of lads from over that East side and they were all full of it.Must be something in the air that blows off the humber
-
I did 3 wagu burgers last night withe cheddar and fried onions on top with 2 proper free range duck eggs.I roughly go through 1/2 a dozen eggs a day.Proper free range as my pal has 60 chickens and 20 ducks all running round in 6 acres of old cherry orchard.I know from last summer that after a week or 2 of no carbs or sugar the fasting gets easier as you don't get the hunger or cravings.It just shows what all this processed shit and refined sugars do to your body and mind
-
Just get Mchull round mate.He'll get a load of younguns off the estate round and talk them all through how to do it step by step.Hell bring a tapemeasure and buy a few power tools down the Sunday boot fair.Knowing him he can probably get all the materials and skips half price as well
-
You should open up a building company.Your talents are wasted talking bo**ocks on here
-
Materials are through the roof since lockdown.Everything went up and never came back down.Even shitty old LBC sandfaced bricks are well over a quid each now.And then they keep getting sillier on building regs with insulation.150 cavities,150 cellotex in the oversite.Timber is mental.Concrete keeps going up.
-
Why ask me how much it would cost when you've got your brother and your dad's mate?You should know a southerner is gunna be expensive.Or you could even get Mchull to do it.Hes already said its easy.Probably have you moved in it within a fortnight
-
Yeah you're right again of course it's all a piece of piss.Hard to work out why good builders are always flat out busy and earning decent dough when people could just get anyone off the dole who can read a tapemeasure to do it for them
-
Get your old man's builder round you'll be quids in
-
Ffs I knew THL expert on everything would be along with his words of wisdom

bad news just checked with my pal who I work with who prices everything.I just get a flat day rate.He has the profit but also has the stress.i thought he told me a couple of weeks back on our last job that we've just completed a grand a meter but I got that wrong.He said 2grand a meter.The one wee just done was 50square meters and they paid just over 100k then extras for the bathroom suit/kitchen and patio and paths.Sorry mate,Good job I aint pricing big jobs.
