YIPDEFU***NDO it worked,my heart was in my mouth doing that.I think I deserve a beer after that.If it hadnt worked I'd have had a beer to drown my sorrows,(its an Irish thing,kind of a custom like)either way I'm getting beer As you can see from the photos hes steady eddie with those sheepy things.I have to admit hes a pleasure to have.I look at all the pups born and dogs with their photos on here but (and I know this is going to sound jammy)I wouldnt swap him for anything else.I think he'll develope into a useful dog for me.I'm not looking for a world beater,once he is steady and obedient and

Drove close to 30 miles to a hill with plenty of ewes and lambs.Just as I got there we had typical summer like weather,PISSING RAIN and SLEET showers.As I had my 11 year old son with me I decided to head back towards home.The winds were gusting and the sleet was coming down heavy.Well we travelled in about 10 miles and the sun came out so I went to another spot and we went for a walk about.Through the sheep and young uns and we were walking down by a lake and found 3 active dens,feathers of hens,pigeon and pheasant all about,plus rabbit carcasses,so mental note made for next September.I would

Dont leave it too long people or it gets way harder,just heading out with the pup and son for session two.

went out today with my 5 month old lurcher,its a pit/greyhound/collie/g.houndXwhippet/g.hound.I had to drive 34 miles to get to a farm that has 1oo's of lambing ewes.I'm friends with the farmer and called to him,he said work away and have fun.Well my sole purpose going there was to get up close and personal with the ewes and lambs.I entered the fields and walked amongst the stock with the pup on the lead first off.I have to say he almost shit himself when we were surrounded by sheep.After a few minutes I was confident enough to let him loose and he never left my side,(told ya he was shitting h

Ossie if you get around to the poodle/greyhound cross,give me a bell if theres one to spare,would like to try that type.I reckon that cross would be a ferreting mans dream.

Congrats mate,best wishes to you and yours.

please dont try and compare an english bull with a pit,I've owned both and there just isnt any comparison.The E/B make as good a pet as the pitt,but in my opinion the wedge heads are ugly bas***ds,but thats just MY opinion.I had 4 e/bulls over a period of time,I'd never have one inside a kennel again.I have pitts now and what a dog,family friendly and obedient and full of the joys of life,sureshot have you ever owned a pitt.This is not an argumentitive question,just would like to know if you are comparing from experience.When you say the pitt is not better than the english,in what way do you m

Snoopdog wheres that story you promised to write up?Cmon now boy dont reneige,cough it up.

Molly they are computerised as ditch said and cant just dissapear from radar,they have to be accounted for.I was hoping someone might have a way of side stepping this as you lot on here dont miss much If you wouldnt mind,ask him if he ever heard of anyone getting around this,I've asked the farmers I know but no one has clue if it can be done.Jigsaw.

Glad you enjoyed,as you can tell you couldnt make up stories like that.When I look back at those incidents I still find it hard to believe they happened.Happy days huh!

Heres the next one and this happened 19 years ago and the reason I'm sure of this is because I was just after moving into my house.I decided to go walk abouts and check out the local country side.I went through a few miles of fields and had with me a lurcher and a terrier I bought from Ken Gould in 85.Well I came to a boreen(a small road,grass up the middle of it,you get the picture).I proceeded to walk down the roadway when a friggin cat ran full belt across the road,now my 2 dogs are partial to a little bit of cat(I was tempted to phrase that differently but though it might be a little too v

Could be snoopdog ,by the way thanks for the confidence building ya bas***d lol Right here goes,I'll tell this as I remember it,I was walking with a pit bull bitch a few years ago through the countryside.The place I was at had a fair few rabbits and the bitch was right keen to catch them and she spent her time galloping here there and everywhere trying to catch them.This is a great way way to get a dog fit as you'd know.Well I came to a field full of sheep so I put the bitch on the lead,I proceeded to walk through the flock to the other side of this area that led up to a path and I'd walk he

I offer the wife free meat regulary but shes not interested,says a lot dont you think.

I dont know the first thing about falconry but Berkutchi is that bird capable of killing a wolf?Jeeze I find it hard to comprehend that a bird that can stand on your wrist is powerful enough to take down a wolf,but hey the camera doesnt lie....does it?
-
Not 200 yards from me there is an abbatoir and there isnt a chance of getting a scrap of meat from there.Its gone to the stage that they're charging 10 euros for a pair of cow bellys.Before you could get bellys for nought.The demand is so that they're making hundreds from the waste products that were once looked on as rubbish,how times change. Ds sounds like a good avenue to pursue but....and they's always a but,if I put half knackered stock on to my property they'll be looking in the feckin back kitchen window,ya see I'm a townie and I

Inducing (?) a bitch's season
jigsaw replied to Pumper dog's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
I'm 2 years waiting for a bitch to come into season,in 9 years shes come into season 3 times.I've given up hope of getting a litter out of her now.Shes kennelled next to a bitch that just went out of season 2 weeks ago,nothing happened yet.I wouldnt go down the road of injecting her to bring her in,I just have to accept she wont be a moma again. -
For many years I collected fallen beasts,young calves,the odd sheep,etc.Since the European union rules and regulations came in on farming its not possible to get such free meat any more.Does anyone still collect fallen stock .I know the local hunts have a licence to do this service still but I believe they are very restricted in this area too. I remember once a few years ago I collected a fairly robust calf,it took 4 of us to get him in the trailer and I covered him with canvas to keep out the prying eyes.Now I live in a housing estate,23 houses in our little part.I got home and waited till d

On our local edition of the BUY&Sell in Ireland theres a presa for sale the only pup in Ireland it says,they are looking for,4000 euros,wether thats a mistake or not I dont know but my good Christ thats some money if its correct.

What the ***k is my wife doing on that site,no wonder shes always tired.

I stopped a month ago also but I had a phone call from a farmer we do during the year and hes shot 30 in the last 2 weeks.He wants us down to give the place 1 going over,I had a walkaround the farm and it doesnt seem to be over run with bunnies at all.I think hes exaggerating a little.We did the place last year twice and at the start of the season we got 13 and last december we got 9.Where the flood of rabbits came from I cant make out.For good realations we'll do the place anyway and see what happens,could be foreign national rabbits after taking over the neighbourhood lol.

I got a mk 3 this season and it took me a bit to get the hang of it but its way way better than the mk1.I was so impressed with it I gave my mk1 with 2 collars to a mate and never regretted it.When using the mk1 which I've had for at least 18 years(not the same 1 obviously)I always found after digging to a ferret I was never spot on the collar always a bit out.Now I can dig to the mk3 and be 2 inches out at most.I've taped the ferret collar onto a dog collar and dug to the dog too and have always been within a few inches of the dog.In my opinion its a superb bit of kit.I have no doubts the B&a

I used it a lot this season and it was spot on,no doubt b&f are better but the mk3 worked fine.
