    Personally it makes me mad when I see someone say that stolen dogs get used for baiting with pit bulls. Yet there's never been any proof of it but the unfortunate owner thinks their beloved pet has been tore to pieces by fighting dogs but the truth is that their pet is probably being walked by someone in a different town, county or even country. The truth is that dogs get stolen because there's a market in pedigree dogs and working dogs. As long as people will deal with dog dealers and buy pups and adults, no questions asked, there will be dog thieves. Simple as that.

    Except that a month ago the pelts were worthless. Reminds me of years ago when a friend killed a massive dog fox (aren't all dog foxes massive, LOL.) and he just threw it into his freezer on top of everything without wrapping it. In the middle of the Summer he asked me would I skin it. I said I would but as I was taking it out of the freezer the skin ripped badly, his fault not mine. Anyway, as he was dropping me home I threw the dog fox out the side door of his van on to the side of the road that ran between our two villages. For the next week everyone was asking me did I see the size of

    Nothing beats Hurling IMO, very rare you'll see a bad game. Some Yank upon seeing it for the first time called Hurling a cross between Hockey and murder.

    The Champagne is very volatile stuff while still in the bottle so take care. It really can explode.

    The money's been back in pelts a couple of years now. A Scandinavian fur company even sent someone over here to show lads how they wanted them skinned. 25 euro a fox and 20 a mink. Personally, I hope it doesn't take off. There's enough cowboys setting wires as it is. No problem with selling pelts, I did it years ago for £7 a pelt, but sudden bounties seem to bring the cowboys out of the woodwork.

    Mine perished after 18 months. JMO but 18 months is a long time for any pair of wellies. I wear them every single day and bought a pair of Hunter Balmorals a few days ago. Watch this space, LOL. Well they're shite. I might wear them every day but six months is not 100 euro's worth. I've known that Hunter have gone downhill the last few years but these take the piss.

    I was supposed to make my Elderflower champagne today but didn't get around to it, so hopefully tomorrow. Should be good, the flowers in the hedge look very good this year. Actually, everything's flowering great at the moment. Should be a sign of a good fruit harvest.

    OR, maybe they were on their permission and a terrier ran off on them and they followed it. Let the courts decide, and maybe (once again) we should keep our noses out.

    Maybe we should just hope these lads are innocent and found to be so, and leave it at that before it turns stupid.

    Flagger, is your Subaru a diesel or petrol ?

    You'd be surprised. A kick from a horse wont just teach a dog not to come near, it could kill it.
  12. neil cooney
    Are the horses used to dogs ? It takes a lot of work to get the two used to each other and one kick from a horse will usually end any dogs career or life.

    I agree Zilverhaze, it's not Jen etc. that the problem.

    I don't know much about shows but I do know that big isn't always better. Some of the best shows ever were small . Well done.

    And that is why people should think carefully before breeding. 3 hours a day in this weather would knacker most dogs and your's is still a handful ? Sad that a breed such as this ends up as someones reject. Fair play to you for taking him on but working terriers need an outlet that a stroll in the park usually wont satisfy and tales like your's often end with a sad story, a dead terrier and a big bill. Anyone putting such breeds into pet homes IMO is a disgrace.

    That b*****d has trouble written all over him. Get the gun.

    Good to see so many dogs in great condition, I'd say you've every possible cross covered in your photos. Small ring though.

    Does anyone know is Henry Johnson Jnr from Tennessee still with us ? I used to talk with Henry quiet a bit as he kept some small terriers too and he was around then, I think. Henry even made the trip to England to see the Fell types work in their homeland at quiet a brave age, fair play. If Henry is still around there's probably no one better qualified to tell about the proper Airedale. As far as I remember Henry inherited his dogs from ancestors who were homesteaders back in the day.

    I'm just after hearing that a neighbour of someone I know was a casualty. Hopefully it's wrong.

    A fellow said to me recently "my wife's an angel". I said "you lucky b*****d, mine's still alive."

    A bottle of whiskey, a box of chocolates and a "I hope your dog is OK," (I wouldn't apologise) could be cheaper in the long run. If a second complaint was ever made in a similar incident it would start to build a picture that you own a dangerous dog. And at the end of the day ,if a street cur can come into your garden what's to stop your dog getting out ?

    You wont do that to often. Nice.

    Bull Terrier ??? Sorry Bob, couldn't resist.

    After paying their workers and the inland revenue they can still afford those motors, they must have some income. The Mail on the other hand seems more interested in the cars than a human rights story.

    There are plenty of ways to move foxes on such as pissing beside the earth or let a terrier on a lead sniff around the entrances but the vixen will only move them a field or two. This year I seen a litter that could be seen from a road. They were doing no harm but I decided to move them so I let a terrier in the length of it's lead. The next morning they were gone. Two days later I seen them a field away from a lads house who I knew would probably shoot them for the sake of it. So again I let the terrier have a sniff. A few days later they were two fields away. I've been watching them since.
