    The paddy dog I mentioned would be nearly putting the glass through on the motor when it saw it’s target, in fact one night it nearly give it’s owner a black eye jumping out the drivers window because the passenger window was shut ! Lol Hit him in the side of the head like a hammer much to our amusement. And by god, what a machine, it just switched stuffs lights out in under a minute with no fuss or f***ing about......and it would do it again and again and again and again all night long. It was a really quiet steady animal in its kennel, just lived on a chain and was sound aroun

    And there you have it in a nutshell, put much better than I ever could. Great post mate ?

    Good post that FD, I reckon there is still a few lads really chucking it at dogs to see what they are made of but I would think they are like hens teeth. Its all too much like hard work and as Stiffmiester said who wants to be crawling up the motorway at stupid o clock in the morning and burning through diesel when the chances are you have an article in the back. I had a dog (and following on from what Blackmag said about the owner failing the dog) that I put a massive amount of graft in front of one season. At a guess I was easily doing a thousand miles a week on average, I too

    I couldn’t reply, I have been sat outside all night.....the rat just let me in for a cup of tea ! ?

    The mighty rat scarer ! Lol

    But what a nice liability though mate huh ?

    As I happens I have a decent little example of what I mean, my little lad is autistic so I got him a pet. Saw a litter of mongrel whippet x labs advertised, accidental mating and all that. They were €30 each and I thought ideal, that will be an article and that’s exactly right....he just wants something kind and cuddly. I watched the dog chase and corner a rat the other day, he sniffed at the cornered rat and it bit him on the nose and the dog ran away ! Now some people would enjoy watching their dog chase squirrels and rats and maybe the odd rabbit......but would this dog

    I get you mate. I could see me enjoying a well bred collie and having a bash at training it, but again I dont really have enough work to keep it happy. Thats true mate and as I said my last proper dog was far from perfect but I really liked him and he was my pal. However, one thing has f**k all to do with the other and the fact I liked that dog and put up with all his faults shouldn’t cloud my judgement when talking about these things. Bottom line is, if you want a dog to kill things then you have to breed from something that kills things and you want something that is k

    People have lived off the decisions them old boys Like your dad took for years, it’s the blokes like him who produce dogs really worth having if you want a proper working dog worthy of the name. ?
  10. WILF
    Nope and that’s a fact, but let’s call it what it is and not be offended when people call it what it isn’t if that makes sense mate ?
  11. WILF
    Because I don’t have the ability to breed myself into a professional footballer, chef, fighter pilot or anything else......however I do have that option with animals.
  12. WILF
    Mate, the collie means absolutely nothing to me, I literally couldn’t give a f**k if it lived or died. It wandered up the drive a few years back and the kids seem to like it.....that’s it. I don’t think your comparison to football or restaurants is very sensible in this context with the greatest respect. Breeding an animal is about producing the best example you can, that’s is and should be what everyone with an interest in dog genetics and ability should be aiming for.....it’s all about the blood on a working animal. Anything else isn’t a working dog, it’s a pet with benef
  13. WILF
    Yep, I hear you mate, I have done plenty of failing the dog myself. Thats a very sensible, honest reply mate and imho there are not enough lads with that type of honesty left in the dog job and that’s why there is so much sub standard breeding going on.

    I have never owned anything I consider top notch and I no longer own any dogs other than a pet for my boy and a farm collie mate. My mistake was seeing a couple of really good dogs in their glory and knowing what that looks like, after that everything was shit. I was never one to make excuses for my dogs, even my last proper dog was my mate and I really liked the dog but he wasn’t good enough in lots of ways I brought him here and the poor b*****d had nothing to go at and it was driving him mad so he now has a nice spot up the back. As I said, I couldn’t own anything I’d wan

    Don’t tell lies, you’d want the absolute liability and the killer is, you always compare, you can’t help yourself......you know that as well as I do brother
  16. WILF
    I think you misunderstand mate as is easy to do in the written word. Im not slagging lads who just enjoy their dog, that’s what it’s all about. Im sure Stiff isn’t either, in fact I know he isn’t. But what you have to understand is that personally I would always know and I wouldn’t feel happy not being able to do what I personally want to do. Thats no reflection or slight of anyone else, it’s just a personal thing. It gets sickening after a while putting articles in the ground.....it’s f***ing horrible in fact.

    As you know mate, he was home 6 months of the year and that dog went out every single night of those 6 months. Did he have his deerhound Sal with him when you judged that show ? Sal was a lovely bitch

    It’s strange chatting about dogs and a little sad actually because I will never be able to own a dog I’d want again. My circumstances dictate that it’s just no longer possible, I have livestock, not enough work for it, the topography of the land provides no test and in fact would sicken an animal and there isn’t enough tackle to point it at in any case. A very odd sensation actually.

    The dog just killed whatever it was slipped on. You missed out mate, Mik is a top countryman with a deep knowledge of fish, fur and feather.....it’s just interesting being in his company and the amount of gear he can put in front of a dog, rod or gun is mind blowing ?
  20. WILF
    That dog saw graft every night of the week mate ?
  21. WILF
    If it took 2 adult bull Xs to kill a fox cub I’d shoot the pair of them !
  22. WILF
    Yes mate, but in fairness even Tigger was limited in his experience of certain things but was absolutely without equal to anything I ever personally witnessed at the things he did do. Same for the dog Paddy.
  23. WILF
    I have seen two (What I consider) good dogs and never owned any (other than a little terrier who’s heart was in the wrong size body) One was a dog called Paddy, a Wheaton greyhound and one was a dog called Tigger. I have travelled widely but been very selective about who with so I can’t claim any experience whatsoever of what dogs are out there mate.....there could be thousands of outstanding dogs for all I know, but I doubt it. But if it’s breeding stock we are talking about then something with a sickening level of barbarity and bottle would be the foundation to go to imho, no

    Limerick my arse......we have schools in England with higher knife crime figures ! Hows that for a one up ! Lol Makes you proud to be English I tell ya !

    Sandy & Charts.....lads, for two highly intelligent chaps who I always take time to read you don’t half sound stupid ! It’s been Labour or Tory since I don’t know when ?.....certainly for 70 years or more and the country is in the state it’s in.....I really need to understand how either is ever better “this time” ? If you voted for me once every 5 years and I then came round every week and punched you in the face, at what point would you stop voting for me ?
