    Are there any fanciers, who actually selectively test and breed please?

    I put a WANTED post on Buy, Sell, Swap on 05/03 and had 339 views to date, but unfortunately no replies as yet. Does anybody have any details of Litters due, Litters on the ground, Breeders or prefer a Line or mixture of Lines from personal knowledge? I have very limited knowledge of working pure Whippets, pre-ban or after, other than the last few Months of Internet time. If this needs to be removed from this area, no problem.

    PM'S answered and really appreciate the help and information.......one of the places should be suitable.

    I am looking for a reasonably priced, decent B&B for this Sunday coming in Barnsley, near to the Crematorium? Anyone?

    The same could be said for all the Fox Digging Threads which get put on here. Digging Foxes out with Terriers is technically illegal, UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. If all the Threads were 'Moderated' to the Letter of the LAW and some 'Moderators' ideas of good judgement and interpretation all the time.............The 'WORKING DOG' threads of all types and some other sections threads would be highly censored and in effect have no attraction. I saw a Documentary once and in it the presenter explained that in many built up areas the Water drank is full of female hormones. It's because, in the

    LMAO.........I've spent hours at some 'so called' Puppy Earths and 'one Holers'! Never take anything for granted....trust me.

    If someone puts two Black Terriers together and get a Wolf let me know please........that would be some 'throwback'...lol. I can go back over 35 years on a particular 'Family' of APBT and I KNOW they are all APBT, as we know and think of them as. If I go back further and further to when the generations of imports were about, in the 1800's and early 1900's and beyond what would I find?.........Staff, Bulldog, Hound, some European type of Mastiff?! Man used Dogs for Jobs, not as Pets, like the modern day Man unfortunately thinks they should be!! Herding Dogs, Hunting Dogs, War Dogs and most had

    I suspect A GREAT DEAL of 'Working Terrier' Ancestry in the UK and Eire, will be taken to the Grave. Nice types 'tested' once or twice, found a bit hard, but put over a nice type of Fox killing Bitch anyway etc, etc!! Terriers with historically good producing Blood never dug to 'hard', but bred from none the less. I am lucky to be able to dig everything LEGALLY now and the Dogs used have never seen any Blood within the last 60 years except Terrier Blood, having been both 'line' and 'inbred' once breeding true to type. They have been tested, culled, bred, tested and then culled again....the onl

    This Bird has gone...... So both Birds have now gone. Thanks.

    Male still for sale. I have had a little interest. Couple of things.....I can't help where he is. No I won't take " a one-er for it". He is for sale for one more week only.

    Many thanks for the positive comments. The Female has gone, incidentally, talking about prices, her original asking price from the Breeder was £1,150, the price I asked reflected the necessary Imping and her being 'second Hand' for want of a better expression. I personally believe she would have entered the first time of asking and finished the Season at 2lb 9 or even 10oz with me. The prices are what I consider fair, which are less than I actually paid financially and in time and effort. On more than one occasion this Male has caught and held Rabbits by landing and chasing them running along

    I bought him from the Margeresons and have had him since manning in 2011.
  15. Shamo
    I would have to start to man him and get him going again over a couple of weeks and I want to sell him while in the UK. So wouldn't be keen. Fell for that before with a Falcon and it turned out the guys just wanted to go out hunting with a Bird! I have had the Bird since 'manning' so he will need to get used to you anyway, so what he is like with me, may well be different for you, certainly for a Month or two.

    Male 2011 PR, fully entered on Rabbit, done nothing this season so far, I usually start late. Flew last season at 1lb 10oz. Female 2015 PR, ready for proper entering, works a Rabbit carcass at 2lb 6oz. Both would be classed as 'Northern Goshawks', although the male is out of wild caught Mother and F1 Father all originating from Finland. A10's both present. Both have been made to the Hood and well socialised with people and mutts. All my future Hawking is in Eastern Europe, so concentrating on Hares and larger prey, with the 'right' Bird. The male is vasectomised (NOT CASTRATED), but is

    Shamo replied to Jamie m's topic in Longnetting

    I know setting up feed stations can help keeping them away from any drop Zones. Recce, recce, recce they all travel the same routes, try to cut them off at the pass.....lol.

    Mark just a tip which may help....WHEN SPEAKING TO THE TRAINER, BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH THE DOG AND HOW YOU HAVE GONE ABOUT IT, EVEN IF IT MAKES YOU LOOK A C^NT. You might as well stay Home if you are not.

    These Lures were made out of Hand cranked Sheep Shears and originally Geared to work the Clippers fast enough to cut. I spent many a painful hour turning a Handle like that, when we sheared our handful of Sheep (30 odd) on the 'Small Holding'. It was always the hottest couple days of the year.......it seemed. Used to see one or two around the Hunt Shows years ago. That Wheel moves pretty quickly on a complete turn. They start a little slow until up to speed. I have seen Lures made from Bicycle Gears and Chains too. Edited to add that there used to be a Universal Joint on both ends of a fle

    Hi, Who was making and selling the Lure Machines a while back please? Anyone got any pics of them, to refresh my memory?

    RSPCA forcefully (long story) took a Golden Eagle away from a Falconer and killed it through ignorance!!!!

    Little bit of nostalgia. You Tube.....'Rabbits and Badgers(1923) Pathe' news. Says 'Blue Terriers' don't know if older name for 'Kerry Blue'
  23. Shamo
    Yes
  24. Shamo
    My opinion is you are a complete MUPPET..........you asked!!
  25. Shamo
    The steady Terrier, with a good voice given chance to thoroughly checks a place out and work it's stuff to an Oven, will be relegated to the same place as the Bar and the dirty Ear. Edited to say a definite yes to the original question
