    I can't speak for Ireland, but over here, Guiness use to be given to the frail, elderly. I've seen patients in the old geriatric hospitals encouraged to have a glass of an evening, but it was never actually prescribed. It's not especially high in iron, but it does contain a !ot of calories in a small amount - handy, if you're caring for a frail old fella who's not eating very well. Cant stand the stuff, personally............. I'd well believe it. I wasn't messing when I said that Doctors used to tell pregnant women to drink a glass a day.

    VHD hit here 3 years ago and it has gone from bad to worse, we have always had mixie every year, but the next year there was always rabbits till it hit again. Now nothing, no rabbits anywhere. Yet 10 miles away they are unaffected? I can't work it out. TC That's what I'm afraid of Tiercel. We're only starting to get the grips of RHD. Some might like to see the rabbit gone but they don't realise that they're parents and grand parents were reared on them. Sad.

    Up until a few years ago before Ireland started get all f****n' PC you used to see only pregnant women drinking a glass (not a pint, we're not animals) of Guinness with some blackcurrant in it. Doctors often prescribed it because Guinness is high in iron. But then again, here in Ireland in those days we didn't have gays and that's probably who drinks it nowadays.

    Just one question, Did you shoot him before or after you stuffed him ?

    Why shouldn't you's have better terriers than what's in Britain ? I'm not saying you's do but why shouldn't you's strive to improve the strains ? We here in Ireland made them better and we started to get the black families of terriers about the same time you Americans did. IMO it's not about the blood yous have or the quarry nor is it it about the freedom you's have to hunt (but in reality you don't have the freedom ye'd have us believe.) but it's the fact ye haven't got a terrier tradition going back generations. You's do tend to have that opinion that terrierwork is a fighting sport (just

    LOL, I doubt it as I was measuring her against her handler (unless he's a small lad) but to be fair she looks like a lovely ,well proportioned bitch.

    Big bitch, very nice indeed.

    Mack, is it the red one that's a bitch ?????

    Has anyone any experience of RHD hitting a place and the rabbits coming back in number after a year or two. There's places around here that suffered from the Myxi most years but there was still an abundance of rabbits. Now those fields are empty. Also, it's been proven that RHD2 has been passed onto a hare. That's very worrying.

    always enjoyed fishing for tench on the float early mornings.trotting for grayling and chub.a good double figure barbel are hard to beat and carp on the barbel rods with a controller float and dog biscuits.DSC00201.JPGBlackhearts Dogs 012_001.jpgatb dc The Chub is starting to sneak it's way around Ireland and hopefully I'll hook one some day but the Barbel sounds like the Pit Bull for our kind of rivers but I can never see us having them over here. The Salmon anglers will ensure that.

    That's on my fishing to do list for sure, and better still if I can hook one on a fly.

    It's alright for you rich boys going out foreign after monsters but on a local level a Tench on light tackle will do me just fine.

    Has the dog got other things to distract him Shane like bones to chew or a bit mooching a few times a week ? It could be just something similar to a person who bites their nails. At this stage you can dismiss anything like a parasite or an ailment so it's probably in his head. Some terriers chew their kennels, some dig holes and some bark non stop. Yours is eating his tail. Sometimes highly strung head wreckers can be hard to live with but they also be very good workers. There's a fine line between genius and madness.

    A 70 year old millionaire goes to the doctor for a check up and informs the doc he's just married a 20 year old. The doc tells him to take it easy as it's not the ideal situation. A couple of months later the millionaire goes back to the doctor and tells him "she's pregnant, what do you think of that HA ?" The doc asks "Can I ask you a question ?" "Go ahead" says the old boy. "A hunter goes into the woods and see's a stag. He aims his rifle at it but decides not to fire. But while he's still looking at the stag there's a 'bang' and the stag drops dead. How did it die ???"

    Pink in the middle........perfect. What kind of venison......if I may ask ?
  16. neil cooney
    Nope, it's a Grey but if shot in England then I suppose it could be called an English Grey Partridge. .

    The brow tines being the first points on an antler I guess they do, only higher up.

    Excellent and hats off to your lurchers discipline.

    Right, well then there's a good advertisement for the good ol' Jack Russell cross.

    She isn't very good at her job though is she? She's a hysterical mental case. She's proven that to us, no doubt, but she has got a thread of here own on THL, .

    Here in my corner of county Meath in Ireland it's rampant and even some of the farmers who had a problem are sickened by it. You even see rabbits sitting in the open looking at you and you walk up to them and they're stone dead. Very sad IMO.

    Caught an anti a few years ago using a horn to try and get hounds onto a busy road. Luckily the huntsmen had gathered them. I told the anti if I caught him again (he had hidden the horn) that the only way he'd be able to blow a horn again was if he farted.

    It was the first time I ever seen small lurchers work on telly or in the flesh. I must have been only 15 or 16 at the time. So was I right Phil, was it a Jack Russell cross ?
  24. neil cooney
    A little off the subject here as I've no personal experience of the cross but I'm pretty sure Jack Hargrieves did a program on "Coney Dogs" years ago and one was a JRT X Whippet and it could fairly whip up bolted rabbits. Anyone remember it ?

    Land mines, poison darts, CCTV, a guard dog who can use a .44, padlocks and lazer guns wont stop the b*****ds when they're watching you as you leave your house and they then help themselves. Nor do dog thieves fall into a category because there's travelers, drug dealers and Joe Soaps who hate the thought of stolen dogs. There's also hard working 9 to 5ers who would steal a terrier if they thought they might get their hands on something decent. Dog Stealing is widespread because there's a market there and if you are someone who'll buy a dog with no questions asked THEN IMO you have no right t
