  1. Maybe, but I feel smug as f**k knowing the antis will be seeing the outcome. Done.
  2. I've got it every night with the site. Usually just give it 5 and try again.
  3. Nice pic Liam! The little fella looks proud as feck with his chest out and hands on his hips. The terriers look a handy type too. Very nice! Anybody else got any pictures of the sports youth then get em up!
  4. Thanks everyone, both of the lads are keen on their hunting/shooting and I don't think we'll be loosing either of them. On a more personal note, I hope the pup goes onto to make something half decent, at the moment I'm very happy with her, handy little dog for me.
  5. Never really one to bother posting in this section but this picture brought a smile to my face. These two young lads had their first real experience of a bit of foxing with terriers and it was the black pups first fox. Nothing special, the dogfox wanted out and took very little persauding and bolted into a net with the pup inches behind it. The lads got a bit excited when it bolted as to be expected but once I had it scruffed I shot it and let the terrier have a good long rag and the lads chilled out and just enjoyed it all. She was very keen and a good start for a pup. Faces blurred for o
  6. According to the article it was in the context of "19th century European colonialism". Tbh it's not the sorta thing that would bother me at all, but as has been said if it was a white person saying similar then there would be resignations expected and a racism investigation! I can easily see it being said as humour but when you are in the possition she is then it is the wrong side of a fine line and she knows it! Imo the whole country is race mental to both extremes.
  7. In my opinion not many people do know what they really want to do career wise. I know I have'nt found my 'perfect' career yet, but for the time being this one will do. A fella I know/shoot with only just figured what he really wanted to do when he was in his 40s!!!
  8. I agree to a certain extent, but the trouble will be that some drivers will then start doing 120 in a 90 limit, instead of 100 in a 70. I personally reckon it should be upped to , but increase the fines. I too have lost a family member from some t**t speeding. Personally I would like to see the speed limit rise to 90mph in fast lanes on the motorway, 80mph in all others and dual carriageways. Also I think harder punishments for those caught breaking these increased speed limits. JMO
  9. It's about time the laws changed in this country, the 70mph motorway speed limit is pathetically slow considering the quality of modern cars. In most modern cars it's perfectly safe to be doing 90mph providing you increase your stopping distance accordingly.
  10. My mate had a bull cross kenneled at his place for a short while and a very brief fight with a terrier while out in the yard ended in the terrier having to be shot as it was that badly mauled. I just would'nt chance kenneling 2 such dogs together full stop.
  11. Lurcher to lurcher from parents doing alot of rabbiting if you can find it. Failing that a whippet x colliegrey would'nt be a bad dog to start with at all.
  12. He'll give you his placebo talk now Penny.....
  13. I would be inclined to agree, my lack of experience really did show with my bitch. At times I did'nt know whether to take her out and shoot her or shoot myself. Shes really come good this season (her second) but her first was shocking, we were both just fighting each other at every corner. Like you say, If i ever get another wheaton bred dog or a pup that has the same attitude I will approach things very differently. Thanks.
  14. Sorry to steal the thread for a moment Denned. Cleanspade, just wondering if you have much experience with wheaton lurchers (I believe Ozzy is a half cross?). Reason i ask is my bitch has 1/4 wheaton and she was a stubborn pig headed arse to stock break. She just gave them the 'eye' and no matter how much I shouted and thrashed her (when neccessary) she would persist to do so untill about 2 when me and her started to see eye to eye. Now shes pretty much fine and as soon as she sees sheep trots over to me wagging her tail. I walk her though them as regular as possible to keep it up. I would
  15. Did you see the Tommy gun he modified It was a bit sad to see it with all the gear on it, but f*ck me did that gun spit some lead! Yep! I could hardly believe the firepower the thing had. I would love to see the damage it would do in a combat situation. Where ever that sheriff works will have some seriously messed up bad guys if they cop one of them while on full auto! I was quite impressed with the moderated AK47 as well.....
  16. I think you might like 'Sons of Guns' Ian. It's about an american custom gun shop. The make some real big boys toys on it.
  17. How tall should a lurcher be? How tall should a terrier be? How tall should a spaniel be?........... As tall as they need to be to perform their job! There's only one way to find out..............

  19. How many times have those rabbits been in and out of your freezer Tomo? Seriously though, hell of a feat, one that I would find hard to truely comprehend. Well done to all. Just one question really, how was your bitch at the end of the night? Does she have more in her?
  20. He's doing alot of good, I'm quite sure a few of the 21st centuries future Nobel Prize winners will have been inspired by the lectures of this man.
  21. Depends whether you 'need' the quarry dead. If you were out bolting foxes and the dog slipped really wasn't up to the job i would have no problem with a second being slipped to ensure a kill. Difference between sport and pest control. I would be sick to my stomach seeing a second dog slipped when one dog was beat fare and square in a sporting course though. Thats not what dog work is about.
  22. I shoot as well as run dogs and the occasional bit of terrier work. No shooting compares to working the dogs for me but i do enjoy a walk out with a gun quite regularly. Dog lads have trouble with shooters because a syndicate will move in with alot of money and buy all the sporting rights which took so long to earn the hard way and then hammer everything with rifles and lamp. Shooters have trouble with dog men because there are a fair few that 'wander' where they like mob handed, running everything and anything, leaving their kills in the nearest dyke and threatening anybody that dare
  23. Took a walk out after dinner with the mutts and had a successfull run. Just about to go round to see some friends for the evening.
  24. Haha, my lurcher had just been to have a sniff of the game and the terrier is twitchy when other dogs are about with 'her' game. Makes her look moody, lol.
