Agreed.

suppose you've no photos of your terriers at the end of any digs then ? No, I can handle quarry. So once the terrier has been tethered I either shoot or release the quarry. If I want to examine it or take a photo I'll take it out and get photo. I don't do selfies though. I don't see anything cruel about taking a photo of a terrier at the end of a dig. I just don't see any point in doing it when there's more important things to be done. So no, I have no pictures of terriers in the hole with their game.

He contacted me on Facebook Neil praising my pictures asking me to go in a book I respectfully declined his offer then I seen my picture on the front of he's book My names Mike jones on face book my pictures are correct and no harm to anyone or terrier work I thought so.

Indeed we do Treehands and your face rings a bell. I've a feeling we've dug together. If not, we've definitely dug with with the same lads.

Just out of interest Zilvehaze ? How did Mr Bluck find out about you working terriers ? Was it the stuff you were putting up on Face Book ?

I presume you wont get a battered sausage.

Another thing, a lot of terriers can hold them all day but 9 times out of 10 the most pressure comes on a terrier at the end when the quarry knows there's another factor other than the terrier out there. A couple of seconds messing can let game escape and an otherwise good terrier is now a wanker. There's no time for messing with photos etc. at the end of a dig.

If you've broke in and the terrier and it's quarry have been made safe then there'll be either a shovel between the two or only one or the other will be seen in the photo. If both are looking at one another then IMO it's not time for a photo shoot. JMHO.

I'm with The General on this one. I've always wondered about pictures taken at the end of a dig. A camera is not what I'd be asking for if I needed something handed to me. If someone takes a photo at the end of a dig IMO to them their ego is more important than their terrier,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the quarry for that matter.

Huskie is not even a breed, it means Local Village Dog. Most of the dogs used nowadays by Mushers have Pointer, Greyhound and herding dog blood in them. Doesn't say much for the Spitz breeds etc. when they've been replaces by mongerals, does it.

Definitely not Francolin.

Nothing. I was with Ricky B. and after the lad said it I looked at Ricky and he looked at me. We went to a pub nearby and fell around the place laughing. I also think we got very drunk. I have even funnier memories of that lad.
-
Yes, agreed.

Nothing would surprise me. I went into a lads yard a few years back with another lad. There was two brown pups in a pen. I asked who bred them. He said Neil Cooney.

Stevo, I know what you're saying but things like that APP are like a Christmas present to do gooders. I don't know if you's have it in Britain but we have Text Alert systems here in Ireland. If someone in an area sees something suspicious a text is sent out to all subscribers giving a description such as car colour, reg number etc. On Christmas eve I went into check a few earths on a farm where I have full permission. I even parked outside a relations house. When I was a field in I looked back and here was a woman taking photos of my van, reg, tax etc. etc. I ran back and she went into her

That last photo is class. A very focused terrier.

It can often be a no win situation. You give some lads your pride and joy for nothing and they'll never have the same admiration as you've had for the breeding. Then if you try to put a value to the pup by charging for it and it doesn't work out (and this can happen ANY body) they'll often sell the terrier to get their money back. It goes to it's next home and so on. Then there's the lad who's 100% reliable and keeps to his word but hasn't a clue how to enter a terrier and ruins it. You get word back then that it's no good. It's much harder than folk realise to place pups in good reliable h

Waterloo Cup Ground Under Threat..!

Five years I was there with a lot of good memories. It would be a terrible shame. -
No Jack, I had moved the trap because of the interfering pheasant and it was anchored, hence the reason the pheasant went in for the grain. It's an old trap with a bar outside the top, they don't work in tunnels. It was covered on all sides. The reason I don't use the Fenns I have is because there's flocks of song birds around my pens and sticks at the end of a tunnel doesn't stop the sparrows. Now Jack, I can see by your post on trapping rules and regulations that it's time you actually did some of the practical side of the practice. Now f**k off and stop annoying me, I've got snares to

Accip, you're doing that much yawning you should go to bed, . -
Also Stopend, in your expert opinion could you tell me why the pheasant pulled the trap to one side for the grain for a few mornings but this morning was actually in it ?
-
LOL, you're giving me advice on the law Stop End, now that is funny. Like I say before, you'll pick through my posts for arguement. Some day you'll have your chance to say these things to my face. The trap in question is a squirrel trap set for rats among small out buildings. All my traps set for squirrel's are set in tunnels. LOL, don't the laws in N.I. regarding pest control differ to the South ? This time last year you didn't know what a trap was, now you're an expert on trapping in both North and Southern Ireland.

You'd better believe it Glyn. Years ago there was a lad I used to dig with a few times a week. A few other lads told me he was bad mouthing my terriers behind my back. I bred a litter and when they were a few weeks old he walked into the shed , looked at the litter ,picked one up and said "keep this one for me." That was the excuse I needed, I ran him. His loss, it was a good litter.

I was offered a pup years ago that I really wanted and as the breeder wanted no money I offered to rear a pup as well to repay the kindness. I reared the two pups and grew very very fond of the one I was rearing as a favour and it broke my heart to give her back but a deals a deal. She was sold immediately and I heard her new owner abused her. She ended up being taken off him and put down. Never again. Still annoys me to this day.

The bloody idiot of a pheasant was actually in a squirrel trap this morning. I released him and he seemed to fly off OK but 2 fields later the Springer put him up and the Lurcher caught him. A pity as I was getting fond of him seeing him there everyday and he was the only pheasant around not intimidated by the 2 resident buzzards.
