Does anyone care, as long as they are still used as workers does it really matter? What's in a name anyway? I'd bloody care if someone told me what the terriers I've bred for generations are or are not. Especially if that person only had them a wet week and was jumping on a band wagon. But I do agree that K.C. recognition wouldn't effect those who are true to them as workers.

First time in years Mary I seen someone use the word "den". Years ago anywhere a fox would lie was called his den ,now you never hear it.
-
I hope I'm wrong but at some stage the so called Patterdale terrier probably will get K.C. recognition. There's lads still alive today who've had their lines 30 or 40 years and some day they'll be told that their tall or short or cobby rough coated undershot white footed terriers are NOT Patterdales. But on the plus side there'll be a fortune to be had, LMAO.

sound advice mary... the dogs tail is connected to is spine plus its back legs & femur bones very important for the terriers thrust, its main driving muscle.. a terrier digs with their front legs and pushes through with its back legs... a terriers tail has never been docked for a handful or the show brigade, its been done for century's for the welfare of the terrier... so it doesn't get tail sore wagging its tail doing the job a terrier loves in very confined spaces most of its working career.. if you open a hole correctly there is no need to grab for the terriers tail. just back

West Coast Of Ireland Fishing. Help.
neil cooney replied to mick20's topic in Fresh & Salt Water Fishing
http://fishinginireland.info/ This is the best site I know of for current catch reports and it looks like most places are fishing well but talking to lads it seems freshwater fishing is slow most places. -
Looking For Adult Male Glrn Of Imaal Terrier
neil cooney replied to delonpara's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
True Liam, not in this day and age but it is nice to look back on the times when there'd be 3 or 4 heavy dogs pegged along the hedge while the digging took place. Thinking back, my God, they were a pain in the ass walking from hole to hole . -
Very unusual indeed, but then again Black Stuff, there's something funny in the air down your neck of the woods and the wildlife aren't the only ones not right, LOL. Pity it wasn't in Winter pelt. It would make a lovely mask.

You'll have to get back with the camera in a few weeks for some action shots.

I don't think so. There is one from the Philippines but I don't know anything about it.

It seems to be an American thing to be more interested in a terriers pedigree than it's ability. A few years back when Robert Booth was found to have sold a lot of terriers to the U.S. for big money but all had false pedigrees (35 years of line breeding, LOL.) one of his customers rang a man I know here in Ireland for the real pedigrees of his terriers. He wanted to leave a legacy in terriers to his son !!!!! The Irish man rang him back with the pedigree but it was too late. The Yank had shot the terriers as he wasn't taking the chance. A sport ie. a white terrier in a black line, can pop

Two finely tuned killing machines but typical black guy any excuse to wear his trousers down below his ass.

Fine animals who'll soon have other things on their mind.

Try Sabong, some of the Yanks might send some over to you. I have a lend at the moment of some Grit and Steel ,The Feather Warrior and The Gamecock mags from the 40s and 50s. Great reading of a great bygone age. There's even an add in one of them for fowl for sale or will swap for hand guns.

Does the ISPCA have an anti hunting agenda ? I know the RSPCA and the USPCA do but I've never seen anything to make me believe the ISPCA is anti.

Two hill billies out in the woods shooting turkeys when one of them feels a pain in his chest and holding his chest falls over. The other panics and rings 911. Operator = "What service do you require." Hillbilliy = "Paramedics ,I think ma friends died." Operator = "Are you sure sir. First make sure he's dead." BANG, BANG. Hillbilly = "Yup, he dead for sure now."

A farmer buys a nice pony mare at the mart and brings her home. The only place he has to put her is in a shed with the bull. The farmer thinks he saw the bull looking lustfully at the pony so just to be sure he gets a white sheet and puts it over the pony's hindquarters. The next morning the farmer is sitting at the table reading the paper when his son comes in from milking. The farmer asks "Did ya check in on the bull Son ?" "Yes" says the son "I see ya bought a nice mare". "Aye" says the farmer. "Tell me this" says the son "why has she got a white handkerchief sticking out of her arse

I wouldn't give up. Those who've been lucky enough to get one on the line (better still a fly) say it's the best battle you'll have pound for pound. Hope to do it some day.

Also best told with an Aussie accent......... An Aussie visits a New Zealand sheep station. He looks over the wall one morn' and here's a Kiwi doing very rude things to a sheep. "wat ya doin mate ?" "I'm shaggin' a sheep," "Back in Oz we shear them." "We'll ya cen get yer bleedy own."

Fished for them only once. Put out balls of bread flake and watched a large shoal of Mullet sniff at my ground bait and hook bait for the next two hours, LOL. Not a bite. Still want to try them again though.

Personally I'd well believe that certain species had their own local strains in certain areas of the islands. I do know it most certainly was true with some localised Hare populations ie. shape and colour and you also see it with some localised bird populations colour wise. So why wouldn't there have been a localised population of Foxes in an area with their own shape, size and colour, especially as there's large geographical barriers such as the Pennines to slow down a too-ing and frowing of fresh blood. Didn't Badger hunters in the old times used to remark on certain areas being reknown fo

Good one Malt, I thought for a second there you were going to tell the old one about how a mans grandfather died from the drink. He drowned in a large tank full of Guinness. The rescuers kept pulling him out but after the 5th time of getting back in they said to leave him there.

Good one, if I could have one wish in life it's to die in my sleep like my grandfather did. Not screaming and roaring like his passengers.
