Smasher, That was the point, I have only the highest respect for the Black dogs, dug over some excellent terriers from this line. My interest was in where they came from, how the men who started the strain selected their breeding stock and perfected their line. I put up the pedigrees from 3 men who are credited with the foundation stock. Noticed a gap in the lined asked if anybody could fill it. A case of a little knowledge looking for more knowledge. I will learn from anyone willing to part with information. Have had PM's from men who know some of the history of this line and they

When it comes to the fox there's no rules. In hard weather they can find the warmest, driest bed under a furze and yet I've seen them to ground in mid Summer when the Suns splitting the stones. I think they go in to escape the heat. They'll often just lie 3 or 4 foot inside the entrance. They'll sleep in snow too and let's face it we've all seen them out hunting mid day all year round. They're also heavy sleepers above ground too. Twice I've had terriers nail them on sunny banks as they'd be curled up asleep in the sun. I also know of two lads out shooting who've walked straight up to sle

If you had a coat like a good healthy fox's a bit of cold weather wouldn't bother you. It's the wet and cold that usually puts them down below. But not always.

Poor, poor James. He must be a saint of a man to have put up with you lot, LOL. Fair play ,it sounds like a good day.

General, is that the chocolate terrier you's used recently ?

Apache, that f****r knows he's handsome, look at that for a pose. Is he the lines you mentioned to me before ?
-
Corkman, why did you always suspect there was white blood back in the origins of the black type ? Was it in their conformation or the way they worked ? Just being curious because unless some one wrote it down I wonder how someone would know ?

A few year back Irelands most popular show "The Late Late Show" in a trailer said that tonight's special guest was Ireland's first sex change patient. It was a he who'd become a she from Newbridge in County Kildare. On the night it never turned up. Rumour has it that half the young lads in the town had shagged it and had given death threats to it if it went on T.V. Could you imagine sitting in your local with you mate, looking up at the telly and saying "ere, that looks like the bird you pulled last week." LOL.

LOL, sorry.

It usually means that the terrier is minding itself a little too much. Sometimes, this can work. If you have a terrier standing back, baying, and the quarry is young or green the terrierman can often crown through and be successful but a lot of the time this wont happen. When the quarry hears the terrierman coming near it will go towards the terrier and with such terriers they usually step to one side. But, there has been such terriers who've accounted for a lot of game, usually because they've been in the hands of good lads who knew where to dig and dig fast. But, it's not a good standard

Several facts on that list point to a massive increase in the human population, which at the end of the day , is the main reason for all these problems anyways. So, in a few years we'll be back to square one.

I have a couple of SS collars for using with my Barryvox and I do curse them because with some muck on them they're near impossible to take off a terrier. The nylon loop the collar fits into after putting the pin through the hole is way to tight. A quick switch of collar is near impossible, but they are near indestructible. A friend has a set of the couples that Alcapone started this topic about and I've always seen them as handy because when back to the vehicle it's a quick un-clip and terriers are back in their box. But, I don't think I'll be changing from the old leather reliable's now.

Peter Sinead.

Fair play to you Jack. The day I made that comment I was in the presence of some Northern dogmen and some Dublin dogmen. Some of them had no time for Mr Gorman but they gave Peter Sinead the credit he deserved for working with a broken jaw. No, I wouldn't know where Peter got his original Wheatens. I started in terriers around '85, '86 and if I remember correctly he died in '86. Most of the dogmen I knew then knew him well with Dundalk being only 40 minutes up the road.

Have to admit that if I'd had the two near misses that Alcapone had through equipment failure I'd be very annoyed too. ALL gear needs checking regularly to ensure accidents don't happen so when it's the gear itself that's at fault it needs addressing ASAP.

If Rabies ever makes it to these shores we're f****d. In this morning's paper it shows the fox beside the girl it attacked and the fellow who killed it and it aint small. The man who killed it also says that he's hunted all his life. So he'll definitely get hate mail.

998 of them just phoned because they never got what they wanted thoughIn a perfect world you'd be right but in this world you're sadly wrong.sorry mate obviously something dear to you just having a little joke No offence taken at all, I laughed at it too. I'm just pissed off that I bought yesterdays The Sun to look at the horses and the first 8 pages were dedicated to that queer George Micheal and his wonderful talent. What talent ????? "Wake me up before you go go" !!!!!!!!! FFS. Lets face it, he was more into having sex in public toilets with strange men than his own self preservation.

Nor does the fox look sick or starving, only dead and if he died from a few kicks he could have already been injured. It's getting more and more common and in the countryside too. Wonder how many letters has yer man got so far from the lunatics saying they'll kill his wife and rape his kids.

The last couple of years for celebrities it's become fashionable and it get's them in the papers ,so there's a few i'm hoping jump on that band wagon. What's more important about Christmas IMO is that here in Ireland 1000 children rang Childline on Christmas day. There's a real problem that needs addressing.

Great to see you posting Stephen. When we're lucky enough to get a great hunt ,whether it be a long hound hunt or dig or stalk a camera isn't always available and I do think a trophy is nice way to remember the hunt and the quarry and tell the tale for many's a day. It also in my opinion respects the quarry. But, as you say an animal we once cherished as a worker and companion shouldn't become as ornament. I can only think of one time that a good tale came out of such a case. It's well documented that when Peter Gormans famous Wheaten "Peter Sinead" got mounted after his death that the
