I find several things about your post confusing. Where's the bull dog or terrier you mention. A shar pei X thai ridgeback cross cane corso X bulldog is not close to a bull terrier or any type of bull breed. It's a mongeral that 1/4 type bull breed. Would you be telling prospective owners that the pups father is a bull (as you put it). You say he's as game as you could ask for so we can presume the photo of him was taken before you found out about his bottomless gameness, something which some lads will tell you means your dog is dead. Not all lads who take on bull crosses are your ma

Let me guess Joe, that photo was taken just as you got the pup home and the girl in the photo has already christened her "Nancy". LOL. Nice pup, good head for a bitch.

It only takes one bad apple to ruin the whole barrel.

I know of one farmer who just decided to herd one night around ten, just for the hell of it, and found 19 heifers in a pen ready to be loaded. That would finish a small farmer. Like I said, lynch the b*****ds.

Yep the treehuggers are pushing to get wolves introduced back into Scotland as well Just cross patterdales with wolfhounds,should cover the lot. You've just given me a business idea !!!!!!! Wolferdales, 30 years of line breeding , you've tried the rest now buy the best , £2000 per pup. Can I patent the name ???????????

In the old days in the wild west rustlers were hung from a tree, IMO that should be whats done with them nowadays. Between them and burglars they are destroying the country way of life and everyones living on their nerves and as a result it's ruining the hunting game. String the b*****ds up I say.

I don't drink tea myself but there seems to be a lot of yuppies out there who'd pay a fiver for a tea or coffee in one of those cardboard cups with the lids and then carry it around for hours. It's like carrying a bottle of water nowadays, it's an accessory, just like sun glasses on the top of your head all year round.

I see your from Newry. There's a lad in Newry who used to have a very useful family of Lakelands that used to throw up a few blue ones. He doesn't have them now but was yours one of them ? And Len, Moira has always been a well run good show but it never had the strongdogs show up for it that used to appear at Tandragee. The way I see it is that back then there was around 3 very good shows in the North, (forget about anything Seamus ran as they were for the showman,) that used to attract the proper dogmen with their dogs. In the South there was really only the Sweep Bar show ran by

That last lad you've mentioned seems to sell a helluva lot of dogs every year.

No, I judged lurchers twice and the Wheatens once in Tandragee in the earlys 00s. I would love to have seen the Lakeland class in Tandragee back when you say as Ireland was full of good Lakeland terriers then. Even though there was plenty of show type Lakies back then when the little wee man in the North was running loads of shows and he used to make sure he ran one the same day someone else had theres, just to take away from them. It would mean Tandragee had the workers.

Has it gone that bad ? I always found it to be a good read back when Phil Lloyd, Peter Tulip, Eddie Chapman wrote for it and I used to love the photographic articles by the Welsh Doctor and personally it wouldn't even enter my head to ask if an article is the truth or not, as long as it was good. I do admit though that articles containing pedigrees and dates etc. should also be truthful and I don't like writers who have a hidden agenda and that's to talk up their dogs to sell pups. But it was the price that stopped me getting it in the end. Sterling to Euro at the time meant that an issue w

That's a good question Kay as a lot of horses get slaughtered as a last resort after veterinary treatment has failed and not because they've been reared for meat. I wouldn't ask the knacker himself because he'd just tell you what you want to hear but find out if any of the local greyhound men or hunts get their flesh from him and ask them are they happy ?

England Cheshire Game & Angling Fair - August 6Th
neil cooney replied to Bosun11's topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
WAY TO MUCH ALCOHOL ? I was going to say the opposite, but yes, the shows a credit to all involved and it was nice to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. I still can't believe you think we drank to much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Write nice an clearly, put details on the back of the photos and send them off to Dave and expect to see your article in 3 or 4 issues time. And I mean write clearly. I do and yet once a sentence that should have said "my daughter Ciara loves catching rats with her terrier" was printed as "my daughter Gara loves catching cats with her terrier", and that's something that might be illegal, LOL. Go for it, it's nice to put some thought into something and then see it as the printed word.

Horses get the bullet mate. Drugs work out expensive in horse doses and you cant use the meat, then have to dispose of it. Bang bang Neddy. Horses DO get killed by injection and only yesterday morning I heard of a bullock killed by anesthetic. So never take anything for granted. When I mentioned that there's enough anesthetic in a horse to kill a lot of dogs that's because I've known where one dead horse fed caused over 20 hounds to die. It's up to you if you want to take it for granted.

A great day with craic and hospitality second to none. Thanks for having us folks. -
Four and a half hours ????????????Who was your passenger ? Miss Daisy ? I thought you boys in the North didn't know how to drive slow ,LOL. I remember the Sweep Bar show, it went on for 15 or 16 years. The Sweep Bar show and the Tandragee Show will probably go down as the best shows ever ran in Ireland. I still have a video my brother took of Tandragee where there's nearly 30 dogs in the Wheaten class. That's something that might never be seen again. There was a breakfast a coffee and 2 piss stops threw in there as well maybe that held us up lol. Yeah was down at it a few times good sho

Bbc Panorama Tonight About Rspca

On a positive note, hopefully it's good timing that such a show should be aired when the Nazi's are looking at the right to confiscate folks prides and joys without a police presence. It all helps. -

Anyone remember this guy ?

If you're getting horse flesh ALWAYS find out how it died. A horse put down by a vet using a general anesthetic has enough in it to kill dozens of dogs. A horse killed by a humane bolt is 100%.

Any man who dyes his hair or uses a moisturiser should always have some lip balm in his handbag too.

That's the way it's always been and always will be. But when it comes to showing strength in numbers and signing petitions etc. as a rule we do tend to stick together.

What's great about her is that she's been seen plain and clearly as a fruit cake and as a result nobody will take her cause seriously. Just to let you know Judith, you haven't saved the life of one single fox.
