I agree bunnys but the dog we are talking about is Lurcher x Collie..there is very little sighthound in him so imo and mine only i think he could throw a canny pup by mateing a grey/whippet or a 3/4 bred or such then perhaps one of those back into the strain? ATB Andy.
Exactly correct Max and the way my dogs are bred it'll probably have to be sooner rather than later imo?...these mongrly curs will just end up "no good street curs" lol .ATB Andy.
well said tommo minshaw not fecking whippet AM and one or two others have keeped the strain going strong with very serlected out crossing the breeding back it would not take long to the line was fecked in there hands after all them years of hand graft and no how about there juckels lol
Wernt there whippet in the origional stuff minshaw bred when starting the strain ?
Your dot on Max...infact i think much along the same lines as you mate..a bitch with a bit of toe ie: whippet or grew could make cracking rabbiting dogs if mated with Don..after all thats about as much as one can do
Just gonna get mine ordered now...always liked the way PL tells a tale lol...hope this is in the same vein as his previous work? Should be great craic? ATB Andy.
Hey up Whin..i've got the job sorted through a mate of mine...we have the chance to run on "proper" land on permission,guaranteed a few spins apparently? All it'll cost you is the price of your fuel ...jobs a good un oh and it's down the Fens...let me know if you fancy it? ATB Andy.
Bottled it lol...pot,kettle and black spring to mind ...i've devoured your lovely Borders of game for the past 30 year lol with a bunch of mongrly curs as you call em and not with any of this driving over the land malarkey either ...jeez you'd think no one but you had ever caught anything up there? Ask yourself this Whin if you would? Is there as much gear around up there as there was 20/30 years ago? :whistling: If yes then why ain't you getting it and if no then the answer is already in this post for you? ATB Andy.
You need to learn to read first Tomo lol...you just can't go on looking at the pics forever? ..it's a superb book i must say,quality all the way...who got the number 1 of the 1000 then JD? Mine is number 17 lol...not that it makes a shite of difference but it would be nice to have numero uno lol ATB Andy.
Joe so you've actually "seen" ....(locally,big flat arable/stubble land where the offspring of Tor of Dartmoor) grace the open spaces and salmos leap in unison from the rivers and phezzies abound even in your garden and roost in ye old oak tree in the local churchyard :laugh:
Pleased to see he's still there mate..always liked him probably more so because of his sister that you gave our Dean...she was a "real un" and i'd stand by that statement all day long..memories,memories and memories .ATB Andy.
Just a word on the "book"..arrived this morning via courier and although i'm yet to read the book on 1st impressions it is ALL quality stuff,from the presentation box to the book itself,can't wait to settle down later and have a read of it..been around long enough to have owned and read plenty of books but this one really is something else!! Anyone who ain't got it that does or has done "abit" then if they ain't all sold out yet then get your hands in your pockets and even someone elses lol and ratch out some ££££ and get a copy you will NOT be disappointed,trust me on that? On this occasion i
That young un looks in great order Joe ...did you walk into that winter wheat field just to take a snap of the dog because "them" dogs surely can't catch on it? and definately NOT up by Whin ..whatever breed/type you keep they all ain't gonna make good un's as i know too well but i can honestly say that old dog of mine spat some handy dogs out and his grand kids ain't doing bad either?...Josy and plenty others have them and they like me won't keep shite in their kennels..ATB Andy.

Excellent result lads...glad to see you put a few bunnies to bed,hope the dogs are ok and TOMO if the winds blowing you over we'll have to see about getting you some stabilizers either that or put some bricks in your pockets lol...fair play for taking the lads on your land too and good on Dazz and Pritch for travelling and making the effort. ATB Andy.
