Kes (Bulpa x Tess) and 1/2 brother Patch (Bulpa x Jess)...Kes will be great grand dam to Eddie,Maisie,Molly,Ginny,Maurice,Swift,Venus,Lily,Diesel,Sox,Don..grand dam of Chester..she's in them all
With age comes strained and tired eyes, when there right at the edge of a blitz white is good or high viz collars on the black ones
Tell me about it ..i have one of them hi viz collars...handy on permission
He did say past and present?... which at that given time (Chalkie may be able to verify the year? i'm thinking 81/82?) i'd say he was right in what he said in relation to rabbits and deer and probably hares too at that given time but i know for certain the latter quarry in years since Blue has been taken in far more quantity than what he ever achieved by certain dogs ...it was THE stud advert of the day back then for sure .it was all the gossip ...ATB Andy.
When i seen Lily running up in Whin's part of the countryside she ran absolutely A1 she has a lovely style of running,you wouldn't see a gundog retrieve better either,i did say her wind could of been better BUT Timber did say he wouldn't have her at the kind of level of fitness that some would she done ABSOLUTELY everything as you would want? Not sure what the craic was at the Brick's but i thought the dogs over a few days put some good numbers to rest? I also thought Lily went to Lloyd's up near Wick and ran ok up there but i stand to be corrected on that?.JB well he liked to talk about dog
I'd be a dead man long ago if all the folk who have had crap dogs bred off mine came knocking at my door :laugh: c'mon guys,no need for fighting talk just fecking mutts not life or death is it? I've met both Giro and Timber and i honestly would say you are two of the most decent guys in the game now be fecking good and play nice
Great to see the dogs Moscow,it shows the diversity in them even though many are so closely related ..just look at Eddie,Don,Swift and our Dean's Sox for starters ..all 1/2 brothers and sisters ..Jeremy Kyle and the DNA test eat your heart out ..Bess will be knocking on now surely?..let them young un's take up the front line position now and let the old girl take it easy ...ATB Andy.
His father was identical and grandfather and I suppose you can say his great grandfather Minshaws Blue too? Jack and Bulpa I owned were fuckers if you never watched them,100% grand when out in company but any other time you were on pins lol...ATB Andy
He certainly does have a look of his uncle Moscow
He has a very similar running style to.
There was a bigger black dog in the litter but he wasnt a patch on Eddie and didnt make the grade
Haha..i think you were telling me about the black dog if i'm on the right wavelength this time? Was it the dog you thought wasn't "pulling his weight" so to speak? His head is the double of his uncles lol..lovely animal he is,whats his temperament like? Easy to handle? Obedient?..or strongheaded and a fighter or a mixture? ATB Andy.
Eddie is very similar to his grandfather Moscow don't you think Joe? He's a lovely looking dog for sure isn't he? Would he be the biggest of the litter Joe?
edited to say Moscow ain't in him is he? i'm thinking he was out of Maurice
edited again lol...looks like he's been on testing ground there..look at how far up his front legs the mud is?..
Jack,i have been speaking to the fella who bred Don from over your side of the Irish Sea just this evening ...Manchester ..jeez you couldn't make half of this up could you? ..anyway your man is always planning ahead as you know and he was just putting his thoughts to me about what way to go with the "next" generation ... ATB Andy.
I'm away to watch the footie guys..catch you's up later ...ATB Andy.
Bulpa dog grandfather to Don out with the terriers back in 1988 ..can you see my wee Russell bitch underneath the Patterdale lol?
