    I grew up listening to proper Country Music like Cash, Robbins, Jennings and Nelson. Proper Country music not like the pop star, city living wannabee cowboys nowadays. By the time I was ten I knew , through music, how to steal a mans horse, how to steal his woman and if he came after you, how to shoot him dead. LOL. And we give out about kids listening to Gangsta rap, LOL.

I was told you dig like a machine FatMan.

    Do you know something Outlaw, I'm just finishing a book at the moment and when I'm finished it I might just take Mr Corbetts book down of the shelf and give it another read. He's up there with BB in making you feel there, in the bush, but BB (my favourite) wrote fiction, Corbett walked the walk. He was also a great conservationist. Talking of BB, he wrote a good one in "The Tiger Carpet".

    Corbetts writings were fantastic and graphic too. Like the time he asked the father of the young girl who'd just been killed could he leave her body there for one more night as bait. The young girl had only stayed behind on a ledge to mind a woman who'd been mauled while the other women went for help. The mauled woman survived but said the tiger walked slowly down the ledge to the young girl, who could do nothing but sit watching her faith come towards her. If I remember correctly one of the tigers he wrote about in The Man Eaters of Kumaon killed hundreds of folk before he killed it and u

    Funny JD I thought of yourself earlier when writing my last post. Wont the barbel be the main species to suffer if dredging was to take place in some of your main rivers ?

    Nice report and pics R.A.W.

    What was that about in yesterdays Sunday World ??
  14. neil cooney
    You'd imagine that was two litters together ,which does happen, which means two vixens have given birth.

    LOL, guess. Up until 1966 the KC ran the trials so a lot of doggy men needed to have their dogs registered to take part. When the KC dropped the trials trials were continued by the true advocates of the breeds and they probably kept their dogs registered too. Now it's just my own opinion but a lot of outcrossing was done ie. staff or EBT was put in the wheaten or the wheaten was put in the glen etc. etc. and pedigrees still had to be kept but not ones that the KC would have approved off.

    I always got the impression in England because of the Washes and massive estuaries as well as a whole way of life along these flood plains (one of my favourite books when I young was about the Fen Tigers) that the old timers of yesteryear knew exactly how to control the waters and send them in the direction they wanted them to go. Nowadays as Gonetoearth put it, we have university engineers who's experience has come from books and greedy county councils which makes an awful lot of the problem a man made one. Where I live it's always been prone to flooding. A few years back it just got too bad

    Fair play for finding that General. A lot of work went into putting that list together. Always remember with the wheaten that a lot of the old breeders who bred for work first and foremost often had two sets of pedigrees per dog. One for the KC and one for the working dogman.

    Been watching the news in England a lot lately regarding the floods and there's a lot of people crying out for a lot of dredging to be done on your rivers. How's this going to affect angling ? I remember the OPW here in Eire years ago went dredging mad for a few years. It took the rivers years to return to any of their former glory.

    Probably Peter Sinead. Dog of the year 3 times in the early 70s.

    It's of the general opinion among most folk that wheat is best for pheasant and barley for ducks. I've no experience of partridge.

    Am I right in thinking Neil you feel their work is best consigned to the past? Not a dig (excuse pun), just rung a bell from a previous thread When worked correctly there is absolutely nothing wrong with working the wheaten terrier. However, IMO, very few know what a wheatens job is (and please lets not start a debate on the WWW.) and those that think they do should not discuss it on the inter-net. When combined with fools with cameras and egos the strongdog can do more harm to terrierwork than any other aspect.
  22. neil cooney
    That an Irish thing Neil. It's an Irish thing Liam but sadly it's nearly a thing of the past.
  23. neil cooney
    No harm in telling the truth either. Look at the mess some other breeds are in because the puppy peddlers are making sure they end up in the wrong hands.
  24. neil cooney
    I remember him well Danny and I also remember that it took me about 10 minutes to decide between him and another dog as to who to give first place too. It was an honour to judge so many fine dogs that day.

    Anyone remember the weight pulling one year (one of the last) where 2 dogs pulled equal weight but there was no more building blocks left so a child was put on top. One dog pulled with the child on top, one didn't. It was a great show with dog men coming from Cork, Limerick, Wales, England and Holland most years. They were happy days and never an argument over a ribbon. Like I say, the wheaten class was just that, class. I don't think anyone in those days kept a wheaten for anything other than what they were bred for.
