That might explain the desire to not kill, LOL.

The Irish Wolfhound of today is a re-created breed as the old Wolfhound was extinct and I'd say the nearest type today to the old one would be what the Yanks call their Staghound. 2 or 3 of them should handle a Wolf. cheers Neil I don't get the difference between a deerhound and a stag hound or is a staghound just a lurcher? Todays Irish Wolfhound as far as I know was re-created from a Scottish Deerhound / One of the Masstiff types hybrid crossed back and forth till the Wolfhound bred through. There was an Irish Wolfhound coursing club set up a few years back and a coursing expe

Gotta agree. There's an Irish forum I look at and if a post has a hint of an illegal subject or any legal issues about it they pull the plug. Do I get a T-Shirt for kissing ass ? Yes, its pink. Do you want your name front or back?

I can never understand how the animal right idiots even find out about culls in the first place. Why can't government agencies or wildlife groups do their research, see what has to be done and just get on with it. No, they make big declarations that we're going to kill these cute pups or shoot badgers etc. Their own worst enemies.

Dan, I was enjoying your post 'till I seen those two words "fight style". Two words that shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the working terrier IMO, unless you're one of those wannabee macho types, and I don't think you are Dan. Over there you are very limited with the size of the terrier you can use underground, hence one of the reasons some of the best lines over here will never make it to the states. Another reason there's probably Patterdales in the states that don't suit folk is because the states is seen by some over here as a place to sell your crap too. But the trut

He did a sketch once where he was a doctor sitting behind his desk with a woman standing in front of him completely naked. He hands her a prescription and tells her her glasses will be ready Friday.

Just to add, the one I bought was a lad carrying a shovel too, not the dust cover shown above. -
Hunting / Wild Life Tattoos

f**k me, that takes me back. I bought it as a teenager. I remember starting to read it and noticed how Mr P. was giving out about those who swapped and chopped dogs and were only messers (maybe he was right) but by the end of the book he was mentioning how he'd lent this dog to Mr Smith and that dog to Mr Hancock and I seen how big a hypocrite he was. LOL, I had most of his books by then and sold them for good money to a Plummer wannabee, LOL, who was in his 50s. -
In the past or nowadays ?

I've heard a rumour that when the mods off of here get together with all their secret handshakes and sashes etc. they have more power than the Masons. Only a rumour mind.

Not these days - you can't sell miles of shoddy plastic tat in August for that ! Much better to import yet another poxy Americanism, merchandise the f*** out of it, and encourage your kids to scrounge sweets from total strangers........ And yet Halloween is an old Irish Pagan custom. I hate it too.

Could you send me a picture of a Greenfinch so I can remember what they look like. My father is little short of buying his wild bird food in bulk and has 100s of birds coming to his garden and the most common used to be the Greenfinch and now there's none. Very sad.

Such a pity they're suffering from that terrible disease as they one of our nicest natives and can be quiet variable in colour too. Beautiful pics.

The pub I drank a lot in when younger was Bennets of Ardcath. Best pub in Ireland at the time IMO. We often went in for a pint after digging and took the strongdog into the pub with us rather than leave him in the van with the terriers. Shooting men used to bring their guns in after shooting instead of leaving them in the car and I remember on one opening day a chap took the day of work but spent the day in the pub instead. He ended up giving a lad £40 for a pheasant so he could prove to the wife he was shooting. A freshly shot deer was brought into it another Sunday morning for the owner
