took my bitch lamping for the first time when she was 7 months Wouldn't generally recommend it at that age though. Every dog is different and I knew mine was ready.

Interesting that Hawkeye....I've never been one for draw dogs to be honest and I do run all my dogs together most of the time. The last time I used a draw dog was with that wheaten bitch of mine and that was really to see if she wanted to know more than anything else as she was a touch slow in coming forward if you know what I mean. I showed her the business end of the hole and she got that excited she grabbed the first thing she could get which was the terrier :11: Poor little sod didn't know what was happening

That Darcy has got a lot to answer for :11: Welcome aboard Simon

BD, was that the b*****d who wouldn't take you to the vet?

I've seen the pics of them on the CMW stands at various shows and they don't look like an earth dog to me. All the foxes they pose with look like they've been shot and there's not a speck of dust on the terriers. I hope there are some out there but I doubt it. I was under the impression that the dogs that Lucas crossed the Norfolk into were the rabbit dogs. He kept two strains, one for on top and for for below.

You can't dictate to people what they can and can't own or work. If people want a Plummer then they'll have one. The Sealyham and the Plummer are very different breeds aesthetically. I'll wager there are more working Plummers out there than there are working Sealyhams too. I'd love to see the Sealyham become popular again and work to the standard it used to. If you read Lucas's books then you'll see a lot of those big badger digs they used to do, they'd have 4 or 5 dogs to ground. The Sealyham used in the ground was really a specialist for the badger and when that sport lost popularity betwee

When egg collecting was legal, you'd take the egg, make a pin prick in the top and bottom and "blow" the yolk out so you just had the shell for your collection. That's how they keep otherwise you'd have an egg with rotten yolk inside and it wouldn't half pong a bit

Other way around.....if it sinks then the chick hasn't started forming so it's fresher. Actually that whole test was to see if you could blow the egg as you obviously couldn't blow one with a part formed chick inside.
-
when we used to go nesting, an egg that was "gollied" ie. the chick was forming, was a floater and was left. A sinker was good to blow.

Ah, that makes sense now Cheers Peg the dogs don't eat them but the "doo" sometimes comes back with bits missing :11: That's only with the brindle male though.

doos??

The moggy nicked a bleeder in her ear but a bit of styptic sorted that. No damage to the eyes thankfully. Dawn, if there's gulls that need killing, then that's my job, not some smelly ferals :11:

A pal of mine sent me this clip this morning... :11: Apparently there was an accident in this mine and there was some wild claim that it was drink related :whistle: The lads managed to convince the camera crew it was an innocent mistake and all was going well until the blokes mate turns up http://media.putfile.com/nadrbany

No worries Jack. Funnily enough, foxes taken on that side of the farm have all had mange to some extent, though not as bad as that one. Foxes taken on the other side of the same farm have all been clean.

Got a call from one of my farms this morning asking me to go along and sort out a troublesome feral moggy. Seems this problematic feline was playing havoc with the ducks and when the farmer saw it chase and kill a slow rising juvenile gull he rang me. His mrs likes feeding the fancy ducks and didn't relish loosing anymore though this bird murdering black b*****d. After a few hours we dropped onto the nasty black shit and that was that One less bird murderer. I really hate ferals.

I think Dawn over on smoochers has taught her Borders to retrieve

Was out at the crack of dawn today after dropping the mrs off at the airport. I took a leisurely walk over one of my farms and dropped a few sky rats. Here's a "collard" for pegandgun :11: This next one was possibly the best shot the world has ever seen The breeze was up and the birds were coming in very fast and I was extremely pleased with that shot. Best I've ever taken. Now this one was quite possibly the second best shot the shotgun world has ever seen :11: Seriously though, is there any better shooting than fast woodies? I haven't found any.

Me and Cupid were on local telly at the time.......both looking shit scared when the copper horses started moving :11: :11:

A hard terrier that didn't go to ground for the foxes on top, the same terrier that did go to ground for the foxes when you wanted it to :11: Wouldn't mind a hairy hunting foxing lurcher, which I did have until recently....and a springer spaniel for the water work

I know the breeding of the sire but I've never seen it work which is a shame. G did want to come over on my ground for a dig but circumstances conspired against us....if you know what I mean :11: G told me he was a good un' though

He can talk the hind legs off a donkey that lad :11: You are right though, he's a walking encyclopedia when it comes to terriers and pedigrees. If there's a nice bitch in that litter lets hope it turns out like its mam
