Ruby was my best friend as well as part of my hunting team,we enjoyed hiking in the mountains throughout the UK & she's topped out on hundreds of summits over the year's..even in her last year of life she still put plenty of miles in,my Garmin Fenix GPS watch put our mileage in excess of 3000 miles which equates to about 8.5 miles per day,every day of the week for 365 day's of the year,hail,rain,sunshine,snow,gales,storms we still were out on our wanders,in her youth & mine too we would of done much more but still she kept on marching right up to the end..a fantastic walking companion

Thanks Ross,I know on more than one occasion in the past you've asked of her wellbeing & I thank you for that,knowing she brought joy & entertainment to others shows to me how special of a wee dog she was..thank you

Sounds exactly like my Ruby!! I always said if she was the size of a lurcher she would be the best dog in the friggin world haha.. honestly her stamina was unreal,she collapsed my young dog's several times up in the mountains even just last season at 14 years of age..the young lurcher bottomed out & had to be carried off,she just looked at it as if to say 'wtf' ..I'm sure your bitsa is much the same & I'm glad it's proving to be a great companion & worker for you too..enjoy the journey together matey & make memories aplenty ?

My daughter who was 12 at the time wanted a puppy mate,she seen this in a local pet shop and we bought her it,£450 I paid for Ruby back then,most expensive dog I'd ever bought in my life!.You know what kid's are like after a few weeks the dog was forgotten about, initially my daughter was carrying Ruby about in little shoulder bags,had pink ribbons in her hair & the rest of it but after the novelty wore off I took the pooch out on all my daily walks with the lurchers,in her mind she was every bit as big as them..the 1st rabbit she ever caught was one with myxi that was sat in a coma under

From John O'Groats to the south coast,the offshore isles too we travelled & hunted it all,not always successful but we gave it our best shot..nowhere was ever too far,nowhere was to difficult for us to reach be it by foot,by car or by boat,we just went in pursuit of our quarry be it through hell or high water,no exceptions & no excuses from us ?

I know many of you on here will have seen my sidekick Ruby the Pomeranian alongside my running dog's on many of my post's over the year's,sadly I had to have her put to sleep back on August 17th of this year at 15 year's of age,even 2 weeks before she died we were up hiking in the Highlands of Scotland in the Arrochar Alps..sadly the old girl went downhill quite rapidly & it was a very hard day for me when I took her to the vet's as she was my shadow,where I went,she went that's just how it was,they said she hadn't been in the vets since 2006 when she had her jabs for parvo/distemper so sh

Duchess old fella Boots is still plodding away having just seen his 9th birthday at the beginning of this month,this will almost certainly be his last 'full' season at work,I'll be hanging up his lead for good in a few month's time,the year's have passed by so quickly that's for sure..he wouldn't retire himself I know that much,he still loves what he does but I'd never want to see him being embarrassed when hunting due to old age & or reoccurring injuries..I'll make the decision as to when he has his final trip out in the near future..nice to hear Duchess has & continues to serve you o

Looking good fella..hope your keeping well ?..any piccies of the pups bud?

There isn't a better way to rot a dog's teeth than by soaking kibble..either feed it dry or don't feed it at all..soaking it is a definite NO NO ?

Enjoy the stress,heartache & get your hair dyed now because you'll end up as grey as me by the time it all comes to fruition with the dog ?

Always a nice sight ?

I've seen plenty of dog's doing the do fella with more than coursing blood,I should of said the most prolific catchers were all coursing bred,no doubt generations back there will be poodles & all kinds of mongrels in them because them c##ts who breed them don't have a clue what's really in them,they just say Saluki & Grey ??

I've hunted big deer daytime probably more than any other man in the country back when we were able to do so,I guess that's one advantage of being an old c##t..bull crosses are too slow,they have crap feet & ain't enough wind to blow a candle out,Collie types have the wind but lack in size & again speed too,Deerhound types well there ain't one in the country & hasn't been since before the millennium that has got the balls to mix it with a big boy..all them need good coursing blood added to give them a chance to be able to do big beasts regularly,I've hunted with not hundreds but th

Get a good coursing dog and it'll wipe the floor with ANY of your other types be it Bull,Deerhound,Collie or whatever when it comes to tackling BIG deer,the aforementioned couldn't,can't & will never catch consistently in the daytime,they need additional coursing blood to be able to do that and that's a FACT! ?

Chocolate one was a machine,it was taking double figures of Charlie's in a night,she killed herself hitting a hedgerow..100% singlehanded on ANYTHING but sometimes they just don't make old bones matey ?

Yeah she's out of Boots x Roxy mate,both parents were 5/8 3/8 so this bitch is 5/8 Grey 3/16 Saluki 3/16 Bull ?
