    Wheaten used to be a bit more common in Fell terriers than nowadays but it's not unusual.

    Here in Eire you need a prescription for it now. More Red Tape thought up by the bloody money grabbing vets.

    A big pity, as it's not long ago that some of the best lads who knew how to work a terrier properly were Border men. But nowadays, with the odd exception, most Border owners are dreamers.

    Will Ivomec do CRD ? Wormers are not hard to get nowadays as most pet shops sell them but before they did a lot of lads used to buy a pigeon wormer and double the dose.

    Maybe when they're that young it doesn't work but when eaten shrews give off a foul tasting toxin, hence the reason foxes don't eat them.

    I thought it was a rough few seconds with some nice fighting but I do agree that he folded too easily.

    I always thought the reason women are crap at parking is because men are always telling them that 2 inches is a foot.

    Nice specimen. Any idea how it was taken, hounds, coursing or shot ?

    Hard to measure them from the photos but I'm thinking shrews.

    Not one cent would I give her and I'd say when she thinks it through she'll realise that bringing you to court could back fire on her. Well done with your actions.

    Where there's life there's hope and never under estimate a wild animals desire to stay alive. The bird I'd say was down low due to being water logged and it sounds like he was only in long enough to dry out so fingers crossed on a good hatch of flying insects and he might get his strength back up.

    He's a modest man indeed who doesn't talk up or boast about his terriers nor bad mouth others.

    An old way was to leave it on an ants nest. Fox skulls seem to clean and bleach quicker than most skulls when left to nature in an out of the way place.

    Very good, he could probably beat some of the recent champs.

    True, but at least it helps a bit to solve the puzzle as to why the border is struggling as a proper working type. Money men and dreamers, the ruination of any worker.

    Are you saying that you'll be seeking a working cert from a MFH and that combined with the fact that your stud dog is KC registered it will rise the value of the pups ? Or have I misinterpreted your post ?

    More like stupid pigeon. I've seen lurchers taking feather many's a time but the good ol' pigeon is a very hard bird to get close too.

    Reminds me of an add from years ago, "Jack Russell at stud.........12 inches".

    You know somethin' R.A.W. I did always have you down as a Financial Times man.

    While I agree with most of what you say Brindle that book is not the reason behind the name and the popularity of the so called Irish Staff. The term Irish Staff was being used possibly ten or so years before that book, mostly by English men.

    My Guess ? They're digging a hole, throw a roadkill badger into it and "hey presto" tomorrows headlines.

    Of course there's Irish lines of game bred staffs and there has been for a long time. But the name "Irish Staff" IMO was coined by the peddlers to UP the price of pups. It was mainly the gullible brits who came over with their cash to bring home an Irish Staff and a piece of paper to show off. And they with good lines already but then the grass is always greener on the other side. Regarding the staff cross lurcher ? I had one that was born in 1991 out of a well tested, well bred staff and a working greyhound bitch. The line of the staff was the same line of staff that was in the famous

    Hopefully first of many.

    True, but we've evolved because of our dependency on tools. If a predator uses it's keen sense of smell is that a tool ? Is a cheetah's speed a tool ? A raptor has brilliant eye sight, is that a tool ? Once upon a time man kind probably had all these things but nowadays we don't need them as much. But your right, if left on his own in the wild without tools most, but not all, humans would starve. But isn't that survival of the fittest.

    I would think that World wide man is TOO efficient as a hunter. Maybe not everywhere but in a lot of places.
