yes the impetuosity of youth......I was 35.........glad I bought her though
-
I have no idea who bred either dog....it would be nice to know a bit more about my own.....spent 20 mins talking to the fella at the cattle market....then paid my ££ dough and walked away with her.....he told me her breeding was deer/grey x whipp/grey....the guy was from down in heartfordshire ....don't even know his name....
-
yeh it pissed me off the not knowing....I hoped a nice family picked her up in the local village.....because she was very good pet dog as well....she had a very relaxed attitude ... even if I had found her dead in a ditch at least I would have known.....but not a bloody thing.....
-
sadly not mate I only had her just over two years...befor I lost her whilst out coursing....she ran a hare and was never seen again.....I looked and looked for her for days on end...posters up ...rang dog catchers police rspca ect.....she was microchipped .....but never got her back ..I was gutted of course....my plan was to put her to the other dog in the avatar pic...who belongs to maxhardcore of this site
-
better pic of her.....she has the red collar on....has a wider chest than the other dog....her name was Sally
-
see if this works...mines the red bitch.....
-
correct amount of collie....
-
there was a thread a few years back about folk that don't look after there kids right.... and I remember saying at the time....what you just said.....as long as kids are well fed ..warm ...and loved....everything else after that is extras....like phones playstations ect
-
it is still on ..on a Tuesday morning mate....still a few characters there....me and the mrs went just a few weeks ago.... the lurcher that's in my avatar ...im the shorter fella holding the trophy....that lurcher came from cattle market ....a chap was walking round with her...he was meeting somone to sell her but the fella never turned up....he wanted £120 for her...I gave him £60 ......I drove home with her stretched out on the back seat....my mrs was preggers at the time....been to one of the swimming classes for preggers women....picked her up from the baths.....she didn't half get a

how old are you moocher??...did you experience life like that .....bet there some cracking stories to tell.... grand old age for your nan.....it might have been hard life for her....but by Christ she did well on it
-
there was a chap still doing the knife sharpening around Leicestershire ....he was often stoped just outside melton Mowbray .....local news did a piece on him about 10 year ago...we often used to see him when we were out coursing that way
-
loving them pics moocher what lovely happy bunch they seem ...from what must have been a tuff life.... and its good they had the pics done ...how many would have thought back then ....they might be the last generation to live like that....
-
back to a collie.....to get rid of the annoying greyhound traits ....
-
sept or oct last year I killed a dozen in an hour or so with bonnie here in Nottinghamshire.....never seen as many in a small area with it....very sad cos only a month earlier on a walk with the kids...they counted 46 rabbits running across a footpath on a sunny sunday afternoon on the same bit of land....real shame cos its a nice place for a wander
-
really I don't think there that common place.....all these crimes that get commited with the same handgun....leads me to believe there not that common.....and I cant remember an army type machine gun being used .....and look at all the black kids stabbing each other.....wouldn't they be using a handgun for £200 notes.....our recant terror attacks ..guys in cars ...or machete's .....not a machine gun ....leads me to think perhaps our gun laws have stoped that hapening
-
that's about the right amount....
-
its intresting isn't it ...the rabbit was supposed to have originated in the Iberian peninsular (spain Portugal) around costal regions.....yet here you have two totally different ecologys and weather .....the dry arid almost desert like conditions of Australia ....and the cold wet conditions of the highlands of Scotland and the rabbit has thrived in both...ok the Australian conditions might be similar to where they evolved....but not the highlands
-
I think its difficult to compere ....but on the hole looking at the ozzy lads posts and what they catch I think so..... I ferreted in ozz back in 06-07 ....we got 28 I think ....had a great time out there.....that was 100k south of Sydney .....however we drove from adalaide to Sydney went through mildura and hay....on the a20 road I think....about 2 hours out of Adelaide .....it was rabbit heaven flat both sides of the road and as far as you could see either side was rabbits sat above warrens.....it drove me mad looking at it ....being mad for rabbit catching.....it might be diferent now
-
have no idea what a dish licker is
-
you know looking at that pic of the rabbits drinking round that water hole.....and it looks like the rabbits have larger ears than our rabbits back here ....certainly the rabbits from the dales have smaller ears.....I bet its something to do with heat loss....
-
was the $5 for the rabbit from the government for killing them ...or were they going to a game dealer ..or some kind of prossesing company...
-
I got a little bitch here ...bonnie...only 3/16 collie the rest greyhound and whippet.....wish I had a £! for every rabbit she missed up the dales I would be a rich man..... as for hunting up read beds she does a cracking job.....with hardly any collie in her..... just last Friday I was up there bolting to the dogs ....had fert with me....who has speedy line bred collie cross 25 ish at the shoulder....and a gwalch...a wesh fella with a speedy well put together bitch out of gaffa......ask either of them two about the rabbits we missed up the dales that day....plenty... at the end
-
"no they wont stop talking".........
-
