  1. looks great Joe, i'm big fan of these small nets, i use 18 footers/ two poles, perfect for hedge rows.
  2. been out with an auld boy with a shih tzu cross, its his pride and joy, it nails a lot rabbits within a few feet of the burrows when ferreting,funny to watch. he put it over a patterdale bitch for bushers, mad looking wee things,
  3. if it takes you fancy mate, fill your boots ! could be handy enough wee dogs and theres a lot of pleasure to be had from breeding your own.
  4. great snaps lads, might as well join in
  5. this seasons apprentice, around the 5 month mark
  6. what cross is slim good length on it cracking looking dog all the dogs so far in this thread are crackers mike brown whippet x first cross bedlington /greyhound, a wee touch under 23"
  7. have to agreed with the 10z stuff, use nothing else these days
  8. i've had a few, so will probably regret this in the morning but anyway just to amuse myself i'm been trying to gather up a few irish traditional tunes with a loose hunting theme , so this is my first effort, two jigs the gander in the pratie field and the hare in the corn, now i'm no great shakes and there's plenty of shite on the boots but i'm a happier man for trying http://youtu.be/V6oBYrae1tA
  9. take the heads and legs of before you freeze, they pack away nicely then.
  10. dog went to a fella called Philip from fermanagh as a pet/guard, he ended up closer to 16", what happened to him after that i've no idea mate.
  11. she was that, what size did she end up. the dog was over two when he left, he didn't wanna know and that's no reflection on Roger or his breeding, i was just unlucky with two well bred dogs.
  12. Rory, the two before her weren't up for the job ,i tried my best with them but it just wasn't happening, so that was the guts four years with nothing to show for it and i'd just had enough of them, had i have went for another breed i would have been digging to my own dogs instead of someone else's. in fairness the bitch i send back to Mike was looking promising, at least she wasn't afraid of the dark. temperament wise they didn't really suit me either, terriers should be bomb proof in my book and i found the bedlingtons to sensitive for my liking, i'm not sure were that trait has come from, i
  13. bedlington/lakeland Steve but i know where your coming from, she can look border like in some pics
  14. we'll have to agreed to disagree Morton. theres been a so called resurgence for 30 years now but earth working bedlingtons are still like hens teeth and most of the ones that are working are saturated with fell/lakeand, which begs the question of which breed is doing the work ?even bred from genuine workers the failure rate is far higher than other terrier breeds. the majority of pedigrees are littered with dogs that didn't make the grade, matings that terriermen from other breeds wouldn't even consider are for some reason acceptable in bedlingtons, all is not rosey in the garden. which is a
  15. its was easier to get a bedlington 20 years ago for proper work than it is now, which tells you what a poor state the breeds in.
  16. stout and a laptop.....dodgy combo !

  19. i really don't need another knife but i'm getting severely tempted
  20. http://www.bridportnets.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=19&zenid=ubq0jlksnv8g1o3o19eu436ro0, these might suit but to be honest, ive tried them and they weren't for me if its to stop rabbits running the hedges, these are a better job, i use half a dozen of these myself, though mine are 10z, which is far easier to work with. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-Foot-Gate-Net-6z-ferrets-purse-long-nets-NEW-/251084833604?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item3a75d28344
  21. hard to wack youngsters for getting your kits well used to being handled, my young daughters can't leave them alone at the minute i've litter of terriers pups due any day now, and you can bet they'll be getting the same treatment, good on yous girls !
  22. PK thats sounds like a plan mate, just let me know when your up and running. john its just any apple flavoured juice that you dilute mate.
  23. i've also made it with vanilla vodka, not quite the same kick but tasty all the same.
