  1. v.good post, clearly put some effort into that, others should learn from it. Me included!
  2. Well done, i know the feeling. sounds a nice cross, any better pics of him?
  3. Alot of half rate pups being bred and alot of half rate owners trying to work them, imo. Too many pups arnt given a fair chance (either because poorly bred or poorly entered) and then passed from pillar to post.
  4. good post and well done! Wait untill november with frosty mornings and the smell of each shot hangs in the air, thats what rough shootings all about.

  6. depends very much on the standards of the owner
  7. I should imagine they had fat staffs that if tested are probably about as game as a yorky. Needed somthing to brag about so set about an old boy and his dog. Maybe a few lads with a bullx or 2 should take a walk out with the old boy... I cant think of a better reason for a spot of vermin control.
  8. 1/4 bull 1/4 whippet 1/2 greyhound assuming the dam is a first cross bull grey put to a straight whippet

    PINKERS

    There here in big numbers now but still no where near as the 50000 plus there was last year ....got WILF on his way up today for a craic at them plenty of pigeon shooting a bit of digging and hopefully a few bucks Living the dream
  10. If only I could find a deerhound lurcher pup like that. I think deep down almost all lurchermen would like to work a decent, hard allrounder of deerhound blood, something very attractive about them. The old pics do add a special atmosphere to the pics ya just dont get with modern 15 meg digi cams.
  11. Very easy to nock someone when your behind a computer, screams of maturity and self confidence... I cant speak for Penny's dogs working ability as I havent witnessed them grafting but I have met her in person for a very lengthy chat and advice and her knowledge, experience and helpfullness is second to non in my experience. Her reputation preceeds her and its clear to see why. Its very easy to spot a fecking clown in the hunting world and Penny most certainly isnt. I beleive its been said before by someone but ill say it now "there are messers in all walks of life, but working dogs seems t
  12. Depends on the circumstances pal. If your ferrets have never seen rat before you cant garuntee they will do the job. The hobs probably the best choice but may have trouble working the tight spots. Sure you cant nock up a smoker? Or dig them out if possible. Where abouts are you? Possibly someone could come along with a smoker to help you out. We have had some great fun with a chainsaw smoker in and around outbuildings using various methods of despatch depending on the circumstances. If theres a few of you just use a decent ratting stick, often more productive than shooting, and safer.
  13. From this; to this; to the first success; The land i run is bloody hard for a pup to kill on but every night out shes noticeably sharper.
  14. rabbit nets have a precise mesh size for a reason folks
  15. hells teeth! Be a decent days ferreting that, never mind a bloody mooch bushing! Terriers of lurcher catching mostly?
  16. Really had my heart set on this jacket! Ill be f*****g gutted if I cnt get a size to fit and I dont know of any shops that stock it so I can go try a few diff sizes on.
  17. Im 5'9" and 40" chest so usually a medium in clothing yet I tried on a harkilla 38" chest and it seemed very big on me. I particularly want the harkila pro hunter light because i want a jacket that fits quite well and not too baggy. Are harkila and seeland jackets particularly big for the sizes they are meant to be? Im sick of shite jackets so want the best but this size thing is really f*****g me off, HELP!
  18. Too much macho bollocks in our small dog world. Why 2 lads that keep different stock cant go out for a night on the lamp and be honest about each others dogs i dont know. Keep the money in ya fecking pockets, leave ya piss taking mates at home and just enjoy the crack and watching another type work along side your own prefered type.
  19. makes a change to have a look at a decent thread on terrier work.
  20. Im affraid i would most probably have the dog pts as i wouldnt feel it would have quality of life. very much depends on the dog and my situation at the time mind.
  21. Few years beating, then asked by the keeper to feed for a week for him, then helped out on work days, when i was out of work he sorted me part time work keepering for him and everything that goes with it. Only a DIY shoot mind you but still learnt a hell of a lot and that was how i got there.
  22. In many cases it isnt important weather or not there is a god but is important weather or not their is the belief in a god. The concept of a god gives people hope/strength. I dont/cant believe in a god/religion, but doesnt mean im right. For those people that blame all war/bad stuff on religion, grow the f**k up, if we werent fighting over religion we would be fighting over some other beliefs. Its just human nature to form groups and argue and fight.
  23. How did the fight go? Ive been eagerly waiting for a post on it. Might have missed it
