Lol...you are more than all the pups together while you were here ye savage,I should have added 500 on to yours lol -
My sentiments exactly,

Your the man bill...

Christ,you don't hang about

Jig I've dropped nigh on that fmany fallow in a night plus with a single male jukel 50 fallow? your sum gumbunny....is it jealousy or is it a trait where you come from that you cant take the time to write in proper english and you have a bitterness towards anyone that gets more attention than you,..you can say all ye want but katchum in real life is a very decent bloke,just sit back Bill,ENJOY THE RIDE... leave the new owners stick a few updates in the next few months,IF the pups dont add up to what we hope them to be ,THEN you can scandalise the lot of us like you are determined

when you slay 15 goats and a deer Bill then you can boast ,lol...so we should breed less driven dogs and let the high drivers to the likes of you Bill?slaying 50 a night at times and running them as hard as possible and never getting to the end of their stamina? will ye fecking stop,..i am a casual hunter,2 days a week at best and hopefully a night or two a week in the future ,hills walking,and covering rough terrain,and i bet i wont have a bother with my laid back ,chilled out ,high driven pup

ffs ,their dogs ,give em basic,sit /lie/stay and retrieve training,introduce em to stock,and nets ,and rifles and let the rest lay in the hands of the lord almighty lol...end of.
-
sorry bill but fuk me if i can understand that,i think your saying if you give the dog no hunting,they will look for nothing ,which is garbage in my opinion,i get the feeling your hoping for problems or foreseeing problems before they even appear...these dogs are bred from a very hard working kelpie that is not hyper in any way,hes calm and social when not at work..i talked to the farmer on the matter,as Phil did mention temperament is everything,so i did investigate the matter ,and as a stranger turning up at his farm,the dog had no suspicion of me and let me rub and pet him without a bother.

It's a lot of wonga to me also,but I wanted no regrets when all was said and done,if it doesn't hit the target then at least I'll know it wasn't from bad rearing,If I get a great companion/working dog,spread over 12-15 years...it's worth it all. -
so I kept a log on the cost of rearing these pups just out of interest,to see what the expense might be ,and thought you might find it interesting..this includes the bitches care as much as the pups also so here goes,from day 1 Stud dog :200 euros vet checks:120 euros Lamblac:16 euros ox hearts (22) :88 euros Lidl beef mince (45 packets):160 euros home made stews,barley,beef,veg etc ,etc: 20 euros 2.5 kg bags of beef mince (8):24 euros tripe,(1 bag of 5 kg):6 euros 7 trays of chicken mince:26 euros worming bottle:22 euros, and 6 and

i need one for the other knives also, at home ,what do you recommend for yours Ken?
-
slow and steady wins the race bill,gradually bring em on ,they wont be doing back flips in the kennels while waiting to go.lol..the last bitch i had ,you could not tire her out but she was quiet content to chill at anyones side when off duty,the sire to these pups is a very laid back animal UNTIL duty calls and then hes a dynamo,but back in the yard quiet happy to sit with the young kids ,playing ball or just sleeping in the sun...(the rare times we get it )..i expect these pups to be steady when they get a bit of training and discipline, i dont foresee a problem anyway...lets hope im right
-
on the road to success,you get these little bumps in the road at times and then you get mountains also when you least expect them.hopefully this will be the end of the problem and it grows up to be a great companion and pot filler ..good luck for the future

lol,theres some bit of truth in that ,i had to speak slow and clear for the lads,when i spoke to the b and b owner in blarney it was back to normal,100 mph speech lol
