English ref shite big up the irish boys you had it in the bag from day 1 You lost because your lot were second best on the day, simple as that , admit it, your decision making was shite, your pack wasn't mobile enough, the wops were all over you lot like a rash and they took they're points when they could. Tough sh*t, moan all you want, at least Chris White will never be as bent as Derek Bevan or that Nigel Shitehouse ?, who makes a mockery of reffereeing at the moment. :wacko:

I suppose the moral of the story is, 'be careful where you "retire" you're working terrier to' eh Still, at least Herr Schwab has told the lads they are free to collect old Jet, so that must go some ways to making amends eh.
-
Does anyone know why he's sold / passed on Jet. I don't know Mr Mason but there must be a reason eh. I aint jumping on anyones side here, just found the previous thread a fascinating turn up.

You have to admire the Ausssies eh.

Go on then Vixen, where have i knocked a terrier that only works cover ?, i haven't. i also use my terriers for hunting up and such like. I have used a stripping knife for all of 10 years, that's all, i am only a newcomer by your standards i know but it works for me, someone asked my opinion and i tried to answer....................how very dare i. You do what you want and i'll do what i want, my dogs seem to look ok though despite me butchering them with a stripping knife.
-
Has the coat stayed hard Shay, or gone soft,or not changed at all. Just curious.
-
No probs Rob, i'm just not sure how to answer the question In my experience you have been able to see where the coat has gone missing but that grows back after the next strip, hope that answers it for you Rob. Not a good picture but the coat goes from something like this.......... To this...................... Given a few weeks after stripping.
-
Not sure Rob as like i said, the whole lot comes off and is down to the wood so it all starts off the same length again. Old Border dog i had got mange and lost a fair bit of coat but that all grew back ok as well, just looked a mess. Thing with a Border is they have a double coat so its stripped down to "bum fluff" and the harsher coat grows through it
-
Poor fecker , well i like the picture so much i just had to do my own copy.
-
My Border is used for Earth work, as the name Border Terrier suggests. her coat is very thick and if any is rubbed off or missing it is normally on her head, normally caused by another animals teeth. :black eye: Before they are ready for stripping, a Border's coat can best be described as a mess and the dog actually likes having the old taken off,apart from being messed about that is. The whole lot comes off in a one'er when she is stripped and she has no say in it. I'll add, i strip the coat off my Border to tidy her up and ensure a good coat is carried on, i don't do it for the "Show

Martin you do as you like matey, i'm the last person to tell you what you should do or not do with your dog. Stripping pulls the older, dying hair out and allows the newer coat to come through, sometimes harder and sometimes not. Generally the coat is better of for being stripped but it is time consuming and a pain in the arse to say the least. I strip out my fell type of dead hair and the coat looks ok to me, so i would have thought a Russel would be the same. In the end though its up to the owner mate.
-
I use it to Strip the coat properly Vixen, the finer bits i do with finger and thumb. Been doing it like that for years, Anne Roslin-Williams book on Borders describes it all better than i can on this forum. Never clipper a coat though, it will make it linty,long and not very protective in the long run. I know stripping a coat is a ball ache and you never really get to the finish as there is always something that don't look right, if your after perfection but it is well worth doing. Next few weeks, when i strip my Border i will put up pictures. ( if i remember)

I just thought everyone was on Raw Liver, breakfast, dinner and Tea.

I deleted the posts that had nothing to do with the disussion in this thread eg' info about german God knows what , flights etc blah blah blah..... Oh and ass licking between members . That's all that was deleted , and a PM was certainly not needed to inform you of the deletion of such rubbish . Never will I miss-use my moderating powers and everyone is treated exactly the same ..... friend / foe or twat . [ Guilty as charged your Honour Waffling on a bit
-
Well i've always used a stripping knife/ hacksaw blade and never cut a coat yet, must have just been lucky eh
-
Use a blunt hack saw blade mate, just as good.
-
There we go then fella's, lets put this to bed then. Rudi, can you answer the questions please if you dont mind. Even if it is a bit embarresing. Also can you put a link up for your web site matey.
-
As long as its not wall paper
-
I can understand your pissed off Wex, and not wanting to rev the situation up or owt but who is the one at fault here, The bloke who has the dog now or the bloke who let it go to Germany or wherever Jet is now ?
-
Your right about the comedy David, there is sometimes too much tension and too much mulling over the typed word on this forum, which lets be honest, is a form of entertainment in its self. I must draw the line when you take the mick out of Barbour coats with no home though
-
Think your right Steezy, i didn't think Lindenstrasse was that bad it needed deleting though
-
Does your partner get envolved with your hobby???
