    As this has surfaced again i think i ought to explain my earlier post, in my area there's a lot of steelworks[or used to be] a by product of steel making is slag,quite a few place's we hunted had slag boulders piled up for years in a quiet corner, These held loads of fox,absolutely ideal for them,some were a bit dangerous for the dogs and were avoided if you had any sense,some were quite safe although covering a big area,foxes could be reluctant to bolt sometimes and would just lead the dog a dance round and round,didn't matter how good the dog was it was just playing follow my leader,alt

    Could you explain the bit about the drunks cheering I can explain it Liam,there was a tale on the 73 thread about someone falling over a dog drunk at one of those events! Im part of the hunting community,if i jacked this site in i would still be a member of the hunting community,and anyone posting stupid pictures/comments could affect my life, so i think im entiteled to pull them up on it. A moderator talking about tact and people posting pictures of a dog with half its face hanging off?????? or a bull cross heavily damaged that couldn't catch me its so heavy? Some people thi

    Its not that easy to tell from the side view in Bob's picture but Badger's have a very distinct cranial ridge,personally i would say fox skull. Stupidly just realised stubbys and the first picture arent the same animal,thought they were,first one does look like a Badger.

    Posts like this allways set alarm bells ringing for me, anti's would like to get hunting dogs classed as dangerous animals,if anyone offered the dog in question a home it would be like saying "we dont care if its likely to bite kids,so long as it hunts" a slippery slope in my opinion. If you are genuine fair play for trying to help the dog,if you are an anti trying it on, my daughter used to dress up my working terriers in dolls clothes and sleep in the basket with it sometimes,no need for dangerous tempraments at all. steve.

    Liam Like i said you wouldn't need to be sherlock to work certain things out,i dont think you read it properly,either that or staffies can live for 30 yrs,thats not all just a single point, It didn't get off the first page without baiting being mentioned,bit of difference between a 14lb terrier and a fekin bulldog imo. I honestly think the anti's post on things like that to egg people on to post worse and worse sh.t,if telling them what went on makes you feel better to rub their nose in it thats your right. The truth is the bull lads got it banned for the rest of us,if a crowd

    Disagree with you there digger this isnt an argument , i just see no comparison between the pre 73 thread and some of the others you mentioned. i knew when i started the thread there might be a limited response but as it happens i was humbled by the response..lads that were actually around in them days took the time to write (rarely happens on here )and some very mature replies void of all the silly slobber you get week in week out like some of the threads in recent days on the terrier section.yours novice. Chip The problem i have with the 73 thread was to much info being put on a

    To be honest ive seen bad advise on here from some of the people who are complaining about replies,and in my opinion Liam the pre 73 thread was the most damageing thread ive ever seen along with the bullcross fiasco I dont think the problem is the novice who ask's a stupid/obvious question is at fault really,i think its the people who attempt to answer them even though they dont have a clue about the subdject,in which case you will get shot down or whats the point in forum's? Ive made some pretty bold statements in a few posts and defended them,thing is ive finished and can say what i

    If you are saying doubling is a bad idea and claiming to never have done it how do you know? There's sense in Valero's post,exept the "not up for it part" i suspect some of the posters here only work earth tubes,and in that situation it is pointless,rock scree and piles of scrap are different, a single dog and fox can go round and round all day,but never 2 bitchs or 2 dogs and not if they go tight. All mine were very proven and started on their own when young,dont mix pups and adults or you will be very sorry.

    Agree with both posts 100%, I think the question is "why do we need new housing" its mostly a case of catering for people who shouldn't be here in the first place imo, Some common sense needs injecting into the whole situation,personally i think weve lost enough of our heritage to keep other people happy.

    I dont think it would make much difference working him with the terriers,i mainly go out alone and mine thinks its a spaniel as well. One thing i do like is her "pointing" she marks game in cover like a bird dog,very handy for the catty Pretty good at finding in the open as well,did it today in fact. Expecting good things this coming season. rgds steve

    Nobody could ever persuade me to have a first cross again,must be the most lied about lurcher in existance,but a small amount of collie in a lurcher can be a good thing in my opinion.

    Mines 19 and a half and i wouldn't want her to be any faster to be honest,hunts up though ive never discouraged it,surprising how good her nose is,she finds all the time and she 's starting to mark pretty well,great little character and smart with it.

    She's been a bit slower to mature than i thought to be honest,but running ability and stamina wise very good,also great temprament/obediance,weve been suffering with bad boughts of mixi for the last 3 yrs [mosquito's thrived in the floods]so i havent had the numbers to go at i would have liked,also had problems with Ar*holes with lamps and rifles,killing things for the sake of it,not even picking them up atb steve. ps had a picture on the "why beddy" thread lad put it on i cant do it myself,crap on computers.

    If he's coming up 2 yrs i think he's the litter brother of my bitch.

    Nice whippets mate,is the blue dog B x W? got a bitch myself.

    I like my springers,there's nothing i cant mend on them and they are "self sufficient" ive even bought the odd wreck just to repair and tune because i enjoy doing it,wouldn't be seen dead mending a car though.

    Stabba, I live in the same area and im a builder myself,like you say our area has been hit hard but there's loads of brown site to build on and whole areas in my town need knocking down and re-building before we start on the green belt land,its just greed in some cases mate pure and simple.atb steve.
  23. digger63
    Totally agree with that post mate,W.....rs the lot of them. There's some farm land near me,weve hunted on it for years,belongs to a local estate but they dont shoot that part and let the local lads mooch about on it more or less, Developers have got plans to build on all of it,houses a school and it will all dissapear,to be honest it will break my heart to see it happen,loads of good memories hunting there even though its not crammed with game,at the moment its got shelved but its only a matter of time,a local protest group has been organised and have held demo's,we talked about joining t

    Exercises his dog 4 hrs a day and trains them,ffs sounds like the kind of bloke lurchers could do with to me,and he's come on asking for advice before just going out and buying one,give the bloke a break. edited to say, i do understand where anon is coming from but this lad sounds genuine.
  25. digger63
    All 3 in very good condition by the looks of it,nice dogs.
