    The two dog's I have out of Boots have both suffered major setbacks in their life mate,this dog here Bear broke his neck as a young dog,at the time he looked like he was going to make a serious dog,day or night came alike to him,very fast dog, brilliant retriever & regardless of how big or how hard it was he dealt with them,as a young dog he showed more wind than his sister Rose,obviously him breaking his neck stopped his progression in its tracks. I like the dog regardless of his disability,what he can still do he does it very well. Rose snapped both bones in her front leg back in Februar

    I agree with you in regards to what was the main reason that brought our downfall,that being the Labour Party & their promise of banning hunting with dog's which had long been a controversial topic just to gain votes that would tip thing's in their favour at the election,if you can recall we got word that the Tories would reverse what Labour brought in if they regained power at the next general election,again to secure our votes,many voted for them only because of what was said in regards to the reversal of the hunting with dog's act,the politicians lied to us as they very often do.

    I just want to set the record straight here,I did mention about Boots having mated a bitch earlier this week & truthfully I didn't have a motive to promote that as a sales pitch nor as a motive to promote Boots up for stud. I'm sorry if it came across as that,it never crossed my mind at all, I was only putting it out there as hopefully being a turning point regarding the awful run of bad luck I've recently endured. I only started this topic as a bit of craic regarding my own dog's & our recent adventures, nothing more & nothing less than that,just a bit of banter & to share a f

    Good to hear your back at it so to speak,I'll not be doing any maths regarding what you've caught Joe but hope your keeping the dog's busy & enjoying running them again good luck for the remainder of this season & let's hope the dog's stay free of injury

    I started the topic back on the 15th December there wasn't any bitch in season to be mated that I knew about ,the lad only rang me this past Sunday to ask me about a mating,the bitch was mated on Monday & Tuesday of this week so my 'reappearance' as you call it was nothing to do or couldn't of been anything to do with what you mention.I didn't ask for a penny regarding a stud fee nor a penny for fuel to trail up into Scotland with my dog,the lad offered but I refused. I mentioned it because this past month or so has been nothing short of suicidal with all the bad luck I've had,I've had gra

    Those that read Darcy's last book may recall seeing a chapter titled the 'Beast of the Bowl'..well that is part of the bowl in this pic behind Boots just the other day,it's been a fantastic 'watering hole' forfor many year's..we have some great memories & some that I'd rather forget hunting up,on & around the bowl..have a tiptop day everyone,just away out with the mongrels now,watch how you all go

    What I've found is that there isn't much difference at all by changing the bulb,far more improvement by changing the head if you have them available or obviously get the next size lamp up.

    My little Cocker is grand Dodge,yeah I like her mate,she's bred out of some good stuff,her parents worked on the moors & it's very easy to see that in her,she won't entertain thick cover but that's not a problem to me as there's nothing in the cover around these parts haha..she is the best natured dog I've ever seen in my life! She will get stuck into whatever the lurchers catch,teeth the lot,she's caught loads of rabbits when out on the moorland & or sieve type ground,like them all she's a brilliant retriever,loves water & is so easy to have around,she's a lovely little dog,her gr

    I hear you loud & clear matey,I know you've been on here a long while & have kept working dog's even longer & like you say if you do a bit quite regularly over a period of time it's unfortunate but it's quite likely at some point something untoward is going to happen to one of the team. It certainly does knock the wind out of one's sail so to speak but as you rightly say you've got two options they being quit or get straight back on your horse & you go again. In our case my lads already been back out with the little dog's & had a great day & I've been back out with the

    2024,I wonder what it has in store for each & everyone of us? Hopefully more good than bad although to be honest on a personal level I've had a horrendous start to the new year,on new year's day morning whilst out with the dog's my legs gave way & I ended up falling & a week & a half later I'm still black & blue,still the following day I was out with the terriers & put the first one in a place what has seen a 5ft shovel job & two which have been less than 2ft! Within 30 seconds of the dog going in the Bellman & Flint was showing 17ft 8! The dog held steady at th

    Early start for us today,we were out the door for 4am & done the drive & slog up the mountain for daybreak,it was a cold day on the high tops with a cold brisk wind with the mountain weather forecast stating that taking the wind chill into account temperatures were to be around -12C,we had light rain at times & at other times we had sleet. Unfortunately we didn't put anything to rest today,being honest we probably could have but I seen more than a handful of other's out enjoying the mountains today,I did see 3 big fine along with a handful of the opposite sex with them but they

    Living where I do where we get over 250 day's a year of rain I can well believe this,rabbits are & always have been thin on the ground in the area I live,if you don't or won't travel then you needn't have a running dog nor a ferret.
