Snow only insulates plants when lying on it. Frost does more damage. Besides it's the bulbs I presume you're more interested in Dido and the snow will leave them OK.

Fair play Joe. Had a look at that and although she mightn't be who wrote the book I'm thinking off (but maybe she did) looking into her work might start a ball rolling.

Spot on BH, but as long as I live I'll have a big problem with anyone who leaves edible game behind and dead vermin where it might be seen by the wrong sort. In this day and age every single one of us has to see the big picture and think of the good of fieldsports.

If they were shot why isn't this thread on the shooting forum ?

Thanks Terry, I have. The web site I'm thinking of had the book printed page for page. Glad to see a couple of books I have on there for sale for a few bob more than I paid for them, LOL. Thanks again Terry.

I know a man who's writing a book about the history of his beloved hunt and I told him about an on line book I read 8 or 9 years ago about an English woman who came over to Ireland and hunted with several hunts in the 1800s and I can't remember the title nor find the web-site that had the book to read page for page. Any ideas where I might have seen this ?

There must have been a weakness or they weren't seasoned fully. Did you season them yourself ? I use a Hazel thumbstick every single day and use it as a tool not just a walking stick and they'll take some abuse.

I've never grown it because it's so cheap and I put it plenty of dishes as well as my fowls water, I love the stuff. My granny used to say to keep garlic in the house and use it and you'll never be sick, you'll never have friends, but you'll never be sick, LOL. Cheers.
-
I would never have guessed there was different varieties of garlic. I always presumed domestic and wild (ramsons) ? So do some taste stronger than others ?
-
So to summarize your post Mickey, a mushroom breakfast followed by a chinky, LOL, not a bad day.

Sounds just like something an anti would do. Pet dog caught in gamekeepers trap = perfect media crap. I bet it wasn't in a tunnel or on a line but just set where someones dog is likely to step. Was it even staked ?

Welcome back Pabs.
-
I put garlic bulbs in my fowls drinking water and it even sprouts and grows in water alone.

There was a grand old sportsman here in Ireland who died last year who had a DDB he called Biffo after former Taoiseach Brian "Biffo" Cowan. Said he looked like him.

Patterdale is just a name at the end of the day that describes a type of black working terrier. But since you're telling me how my terriers are bred can I tell you that ALL your bedlingtons are just poodle hybrids, if we're making assumptions about breedings because someone else did the outcross then I can assume that your poodle hybrids work like poodles. And to assume that the terriers of todays are not as game as those of yesteryear also tells me Morton that you need to get out and do a bit. There's still lads out there who strive for perfection in their terriers and nearly every one

Any cross or type who REALLY wants it's game will try damn hard to get to it and if that means going to ground then any game one will. Bert Gripton was well known for digging a lot of foxes and badgers with a whippet cross. I've dug to a Bedlington cross lurcher and I've seen a first cross Wheaten Greyhound go to ground, check it, and walk out of the same earth, LOL. Any hunting man will have tales of fox hounds going to ground and I heard of a man entering pure bred Beagles in a Badger trial back when legal and they traveled the shore up to their Badger. If a dog wants to then he will.
-
Is that meant for me ? Ask me what about a hen house ? I no understand ?

I'd say the last one.

Spot on... is the patterdale the gamest terrier.??? Dependent on the dog, yes, can be. i've never kept a patterdale or bred bred a litter of lurchers but i would imagine there would be alot of small pups with a whippet x pat mating.not good for much except ratting and bushing. how big do wheatens get.? I hear ya Ginger Beard. Because the OP mentioned a digging dog I mentioned another type of digging terrier but ,Yes, regarding gameness in terriers the Wheaten is the road to go down. It's not too long ago that the best coursing dogs here in Ireland (and several went over
-
what about your dog making a fuukup have yea still got it?? I hear everything chum Fair play, you're admitting to being a gossip and last year you admitted to making up lies about me and publicly apologized , so maybe you're slowly starting to become a man. So is that another lie you've made up about the General ?
-
If you look at old photos of the Bedlington they looked like a lot of todays fell types and I always wonder why this cross isn't done more. I've seen a Patterdale X Whippet first cross and it looked just like a black Whippet. If a first cross terrier was what I wanted I'd go for the gamest type of terrier, the Patterdale. The Jagd IMO would be a poor substitute.
-
Wrong lads, this is the dog Hitler wanted to mass produce, probably for the puppy market.
-
Spot on. But the discussion is about type. IMO if a terrierman wants to keep terriers that work to the same standards (ie. baying type to suit his country) then he'll want that consistently and that wont be achieved by trying this that and the other of different lads terriers. So he'll either go back to the same man who keeps what he wants or he'll try and breed his own. This will usually mean a line of terrier and because a terriers job is a physical one there should be none of those weaknesses you see with the K.C. breeds.

There's an old saying "never argue with a fool as he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience." So I wont argue with you but I will state what I said to show you keep putting words in my mouth, and I stand by my statement. If the Kennel Club regards a dog as being PURE when it has been breed pure (same type to same type) for 9 generations then IMO there are men out there who's terriers have been bred type (ie. black working terrier) to type for many generations. In some cases this might be 15 or more generations on the same yard and maybe only going outside of that yard
