  1. He's one of the stand out guys on here. Makes gear at a fair price of the very highest quality and sources his materials from local suppliers. About the only guy I've posted cash to.
  2. I couldn't agree less,( and I enjoy a lot of what you post here) If you've never tried any other way you wouldn't know any better. I can see the benefit of your approach, all the blame is attached to the pup. None on the handler. One of the skills I admire most in a good terrier man is in getting a dog started, be that knowing when it's mature enough to start or knowing how to best handle that individual dog. Some need to be wound up, some need winding down a little so they calm down and follow their nose, some need company the first time, some will switch on just tied at the entran
  3. Bits in bold here are interesting ( first one is a fairly wild statement) Hare coursing offenders are also engaging in many other types of crime including anti-social behaviour, violence and intimidation, metal theft, plant theft, distraction burglary and ‘doorstep’ crime such as rogue trader offences. within these regions is needed to drive this. Police forces are reluctant to seize dogs in the same way they are reluctant to seize any animal/bird which is expensive to house or is subject to charges (such as raptors) because police cannot claim costs back from the of
  4. From their 2013 strategic report (not so much egg protection or endangered species) All poaching17 All poaching accounts for 44% (2255) of total intelligence at NWCU. Offenders are well aware of weak spots in specific police areas and will communicate these to each other. If forces introduce policies not to seize dogs or vehicles, offenders could see them as easy places to course hare (or deer) as, even if caught, they know their dogs will not be confiscated. As with many other wildlife crimes, use of social media facilitates poaching and coursing, with offenders posting photog
  5. They're the only guys allowed to course them in Ireland. who was telling you that.have a look at a map theres 32 counties last time i looked. It's the 32 I was talking about.

  7. Hi, just wondering who's best to service a HW100?
  8. She only lives about 20min away from me,and only last year in a local pub .............................................................................................................................Neil actually ended up with 1 some years back. Jays Neil, You're some man to take her home with you and throw yourself on the grenade. Is there nothing you wouldn't do for hunting? B
  9. you think they'd be more sickened by the ban? at least in Ireland you can relax and enjoy hunting with hounds wether it's good or as often happens bad.
  10. I think it's a great thread to compare the craic and fun fellas had before and great characters that were about before and now sadly passed. and then compare it with the kind of guys around now, Mixedgrill and a few more have tried very hard on here and any other thread they can to slag off Neil, it's great to see just how far they'll go. Some Craic
  11. Problem isn't shows. It's guys breeding for shows or making excuses for poor work because the dog is pretty. Guys wanting a "smart type" rather than a "working type" I don't know why you need working terrier men to judge shows? Why waste their time, it's about the prettiest dog, my mother could pick out the prettiest dog. Having good digging men judge shows just confuses the issue, it's nothing to do with work, your dog is pretty that's it. Just because Nuttal or Roberts or Parkes picked it out doesn't mean they like it or think it's a working dog, they have to say one is the be
  12. totally disagree, letting a pup go to someone in no way affects what you and your mates do, what would make the terrier job in a better state would be sharing the good blood and then the overall quality of terriers being bred would go up, and this would in no way affect you or your breeding plans, also how do you know when someone enquires for a pup there (in your opinion) an idiot. they may just be thinking that about you? and all i can say about you giving pups to lads you dont know is you must have changed in the last 15 yrs or so?[/ quote] would the quality go up though? Look at greyh
  13. anyone know where I can get a play station or a iPhone for free??? Fellas hand over 100's for them but want pups gifted and think they were robbed if they handed over a few 100 for a pup. I don't sell pups, never have or will. But I don't worry about people that do. If people have less value for a pup than an iPhone they can fuxk right off. Messers and guys starting out need to be able to buy from somewhere, if no one is selling, then someone is going to go robbing to supply pups.
  14. I think a lack of success at the trials was worked most against it being used more. The red hand dog was successful and used a lot on the back of that.I understand that but the trials were only a game played in one country and the bull terrier has spanned the globe as a working dog and I've got a feeling the Irishmen that were at the trials would have been more willing to work with the breed if it was a Irish creation and not a English one 2 Countries maybe? Some people say Northern Ireland is a part of the UK you know. Some of those guys were heavily involved in the games as you call it
  15. Sounds like green dog, unsure what to do and hasn't fully started.
  16. Maybe not breeds, but it must have added something to strains for guys to have persisted with those lines and strains that had that blood? Rather than going back to "pure" terrier? You'll have to ask some hard questions the next time you're down on the river. Myself and A were talking with a guy who offered his pay cheque for a 1/4 EBT cross bitch, way back when. Asked if she was the best bitch he'd seen? No, he said she had some knacks about her , but he knew she'd produce. He never bought her, but she produced a lot of bitches (and dogs) that again produced. I've never heard any o

  18. I can still see the shock and disgust on my nieces face when she said "You were ALIVE before the internet "
  19. Jaysus Jigsaw they're terrible pictures. What iPhones were ye using back then?
  20. Those old boys must be awful stupid to have stuck with their lines since the 60's when it's too hard and they won't travel? Of course back in the day I suppose a lot of those old boys didn't even have broadband or WiFi and didn't have the high standards of THL
  21. She'd have been only 1/16 EBT just shows strongly in the head shape on some more than others. Tess was her name, she was never bred off so wouldn't be showing up in any pedigrees. Dead 10 years+
  22. what's your worry about some fell in the mix? Every fell will have some beddy in the mix. Doesn't make them less of a fell. A leggy fell with a soft linty coat wouldn't be judged badly on wether there was beddy blood close up in it. But on whether it worked or not.
  23. Zilverhaze, don't fool yourself, you're more intelligent than that.Police and computer experts can get into a terrorist's or a pedophiles computer in seconds. How long would it take them to get into an ordinary Joe Soaps ? So how do nearly all the photos in todays media come from FB if it's a closed shop ? Because those who don't give a shit about hunting are the ones that leave it wide open for everyone to see. That's the whole point of this subject. And of course this site is crawling with anti's. It's one of the biggest hunting sites there is and the anti's and the authorities wouldn't be
