  1. Happy birthday you big nosed messer
  2. Not just bull breeds were used in the square back then though, and still not. I think any dog, if deemed to be standing a chance, was used. If memory serves me correctly, then there's mention of a golden retriever who was used in the pit in Fitzbarnard's Fighting Sports book, and also in Lucas's Hunt and Working Terriers book, there's the Airedale dog, Thunder, that was used too....I think. My memory might be playing tricks on me. Certainly from my own experience, I had a little 20" lurcher once that adored a tear-up with my bull terriers

  4. Interestingly enough, a bloke I know was out on ground local to me last week with two pure greyhounds and the terrain is very unforgiving. One dog limped home and the other was half carried. Both had two runs (doubled up) with nothing caught. As I said, very hard ground to run on so not ideal for greyhounds. The dogs aren't bad and have caught a few bits and pieces, particularly on the turf farm where we have permission. Get them out onto bad ground and they suffer.

  10. They've been in Kent for ages and the media local to where I was always reported them getting knocked over on the main road....it all became a bit matter of fact.....and no, you can't run them.....and no, you can't run CWD either
  11. This old one of mine is very much a dog of her own. She hunts up and generally does her own thing but she knows what I want her to do. People often misread her type as pig-headed and stubborn, but they simply don’t understand the dog in my opinion. She’s not one of these types that will perform circus tricks although I had her retrieving dummies to perfection in the garden. That all went out of the window when we got to the hunting field, although I would say she retrieves very well…it’s just not textbook. I’d say she’s very primitive and she works with me as opposed to for me. A h

  13. It must make you wonder why you bother Tomo......
  14. Have you got any pics of your stafford GTO?
  15. Had some good fun with these dogs in days gone by, but as AFT has pointed out, there's not much you can do with them legally these days, fox-wise anyway.

  17. Aye, these things happen mate. She was shaping up nicely.
  18. am i remembering the same dog there stabs...? Possibly mate. She was given to me at 10 months old by Taffy a good few years ago. Had some good sport with her before she died on the job. Lovely bitch. Very, very driven.
