  1. Quite a few of the strongman gyms are very basic.My pal Paul who was britains 105kg strongman champion for a couple of years.runs one out of an old farm building.down here in kent.Terry Hollands trains there as well as a few up and coming strongmen.Anothe al of mine and I fabricated quite a bit of their equipment for them.
  2. What sort of fields were these 20hares a night being regularly killed in?I know a hare on the lamp is not the same as in the day but even so on decent size arable fieds or fens they dont just sit about waiting to get caught.
  3. How has a thread about Mick Douglas Norfolk lurchers ended up as a thread about poxy Saluki's ?
  4. She's a cracking bitch mate exactly my type.My mate who owns her finds her too defensive for his liking thats why hes using the black dog on her.Hes hoping a dog bred the way he is will make the pups more forward going and drivey.
  5. Thats my pals bitch.Same bitch in the 3rd from bottom pic.Bandog carrying 75% mastiff.
  6. Interesting breeding taking place later this week between these 2.Should make some lively dogs.
  7. Im sure I read somewhere that hes not a lot shorter than Fury(maybe 6.5")so im guessing even if hes relatively slender hes still a fair lump.
  8. Like rob said I think its more down to luck.I know a couple of straight pipes running between ditches on a golf coarse that regularly hold foxes also known a couple of short pipes under gateways where they'd quite often lay.Ive also known lads spend days digging intricate artificials with multiple entrances and sleeping areas that have never held a thing.
  9. They were mostly show dogs 25years ago
  10. If your concrete is laid correctly and there is plenty of ventilation you dont need much fall and it should still dry out in no time.Shouldn't matter if your drains are at the front or back,99%of the water should go straight away just leaving the surface damp which will all dry evenly.If you end up with any part laying wetter than others then the concrete has been layed poorly.
  11. Definitely Catahula in certain lines of AB
  12. Did any of the older lads ever see any of the Enbeck bred lakies work.Few lads round my way had them when i very first showed an interest in terriers as a kid but even then i realised the ones id seen were shit.
  13. But you'd still have a spare hand to twist its balls or stick your finger up it arse.Apparently that makes them let go.
  14. So youve come to the conclusion that they were/are all shit from seeing one dog that you dont actually know for definite if it was a Norfolk from Burrel or Mick Douglas lines
  15. The 4 or 5 of them i saw 20 years ago all looked exactly the same as that.
  16. Same as everything mate.ABs went downhill as soon as they became popular.Quality bandogs are being far outnumbered by shitty scatterbred mutts now.The best thing is when they're worth f**k all so only the genuine enthusiasts stick with them.
  17. Hes not going to be able to stop her getting any heavier if shes only 6months old.Hip,elbow and patella problems comes more from poor breeding rather than just size/weght.There have been quite a few very large Boerboels imported with excellent hip/elbow scores.Id sooner have a pup from these than much smaller/lighter parents that havn't been x-rayed and scored.
  18. Mick was known as the marshman not the fenman as he lived out in the middle of the marshes in Norfolk.I had a little bitch about 20years ago bred out of a pals 2 Norfolk type lurchers bred down from stuff he'd had from Mick over the years.A really super intelligent biddable little thing that would have been perfect for someone that wanted a rabbiting,ferreting,mooching dog.Met Mick plenty of times as he used to come down and stay on his boat with his dogs not far from me.Also had a few days up on his marsh coursing and he'd always come out whatever the weather dressed in denim dungarees,shirt
  19. Trying to find a decent border is like trying to find a needle in a haystack and trying to find a decent stafford is nigh on impossible so i wouldnt fancy your chances of finding one of each worth putting together.
  20. Great if you want to go pack hunting for Caribou.
