    Cheers bud,yeah she is a handy little thing,not had her on the real big hoof yet but she's had a lot of lesser hoof nor have I tried her on teeth but I think she will be fine on both with a little more time on her side,she can gallop alright day or night,very fast tight running bitch,she's always had a little nervy streak in her much like her dam, nothing really untoward & it doesn't affect her working ability. I thought from day one she would make a cracking lamping dog,the best of the three, although the two dogs have had bigger hauls she's the one that looks good on the eye & I stil

    'Tino'.....my son supports Newcastle Utd so the name comes from Tino Livramento & Maggie got her name from Newcastle Utd 'The Magpies' ..Gus well my oldest lad named him,lord knows where his name came from

    At the end of the day Dodge I like all the pups,none get fed,exercised any different to the others,the old dog's get fed & walked exactly the same as them each & every day..but if I had to choose one & only one pup then I'd choose the big black dog Tino over the others.

    Cheers Dodge..it's still early days with them really but I've found out a bit about them these past months..bigger land suits the big black dog,he can gallop alright but in my opinion he's a better dog when underfoot conditions aren't really heavy/testing,wet is ok but I think heavy ground would find him out,he has a really good engine on him & certainly isn't shy in the wind department. Of the three the black & tan dog would surprisingly have the least wind from what I've seen,he's not exactly lacking in wind as some of his exploits would confirm that but still he wouldn't have the en

    Best of luck with the pup Black Neck,sorry to hear you lost a dog at the back end of last year, absolutely gutted wrenching to lose one of the team. Likewise regarding going out without one of your own dogs,an odd day or two is fine,it can be enjoyable but it's always good to be out amongst a bit of action with one from your own team that's for sure bud.

    I hear you bud, regarding river crossings I've had to cut short many a trip out due to the same thing,far too dangerous to even attempt crossing some of them for fear of getting swept off your feet. I think the whole country even the likes of Cornwall etc has had way more rain this winter than previous years,it's been testing in more ways than one that's for sure. It was -5c here this morning & the sun's out now but apparently we are getting rain from 6pm,I've never known the weather on a daily basis go from one extreme to another & it's been like that all winter. Hopefully we get a de

    How have people fared this past season weather-wise? Where I reside it's been so wet & still is it's been quite unbelievable really even though I live in what is one of the wettest places places in the UK anyway..in past years we've had serious flooding,bridges,roads swept away etc but just for relentless, prolonged rain I've never known anything like it in my 60 year's of living here, from September 1st 2025 until now March 8th 2026 I don't believe we've had 15-20 day's max where it hasn't rained,it's been incessant to the point of driving one up the fecking wall..anyone who owns a runnin

    Dig the hunting attire when it's minus 15c & blowing 60mph winds..a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do & all that

    Absolutely love being out on the mountains,I'm not going to lie I am much slower at getting up there these day's than in previous years but still we get there in the end,just means starting out hiking up there a half hour or so earlier in the darkness under the light of a head torch..hare & the tortoise comes to mind

    This is my pup Tino out of Boots x his daughter Rose..had a brilliant season with all 3 of the young dog's,they haven't put a foot wrong,Tino caught 3 x teeth on his first try, absolutely spot on he was,Gus the black & tan has been on a couple of teeth & was equally as good as Tino,the little bitch Maggie was a lot slower to come to hand due to being held up for two months with a wrist injury after Gus jumped a gate & landed on her so she hasn't been tried yet,as for other stuff they've caught their fare share both day & night,all 3 retrieve brilliantly & things are looking

    I mainly rake about in the daytime mate,my lad will do 90% of the lamping with the dog's these days..I still on occasions go for a few gallops on the lamp, nearly always in the company of the Gamekeeper & or with the farmer's son getting chauffeur driven around the fields..I'm just a part time hunter these day's,I'm out a couple of times weekly throughout the winter & that's about it. I'm the one walking,cleaning,prepping food & feeding the dogs BN of a daily basis,I'm out 6 times a day everyday,hail,rain,snow or sunshine,I've had 4 soakings today with two more to go they certai

    There's never been an abundance of gear local to me bud, when I say local I mean in walking distance from where I live,although a couple of days ago when just a ten mins walk from home I managed to see a Roe,Fox,Rabbits & a Badger too,nice to see them to be honest,what's around here we tend to leave alone,bodies accidentally falling victim to the dog's are inevitable on occasions but as I say we don't intentionally go looking for stuff. There's plenty of gear around if one's prepared to drive for a hour & a half or so & are prepared to run the gauntlet so to speak

    I think these pups are going to be in for a few skin tears with these antics,they are all or nothing,heart in your mouth types at everything they do,jumping the barbed wire fence isn't an issue but when they are jumping the single stranded 'bull wire' a yard or two the other side of it along with it they are destined for trip to the vet's at worst & or a purple spray & staple job..the word 'steady' is one that hasn't been adhered to just yet.. they'll learn one way or another.
