Our job is all about communication,...and by that I mean,...telling the customer/client..how things are going to go down... I am a fair minded, honest wee fecker,..and I've been a rabbit catcher for several decades. Now, in my dotage, I only trap the mighty mole,. However, my modus operandi is exactly the same...."You hire me,.you keep out of my fecking way",.end of story...

Go man go...

If like me,.you have had a life with lurchers,...you are sure to have come across a few, that were 'not fit for purpose'.... Some animals just don't have IT.. What you do with such animals,.. is a matter for your own conscience... Truth is, no dog ever goes out of its way to be a c**t,...(it is illogical to believe this to be so),...SO,...a good dog man will always give a dog a fair break..
