  1. Plummer class included aswell as child handlers.
  2. Sensible keepers buy poults in and save all that time and just focus most of the time in fixing up/building pens, doing drinkers and feeders etc. and also alot of the keepers round here use that spare time to do a bit of pigeon shooting as well as fox control. what are you on about by sensible keepers buy poults in? every estate wants to save money and have the best from their birds.it works out alot cheaper for many commercial shoots to rear from day old.i admit the initial out lay to start this is exspensive but after a couple of seasons money is saved.im not talking about shoots that
  3. Nutty welsh feckers.had my fingers caught in fenn traps a few times,thought that hurt!
  4. great mate hope we can get over to support you good luck cheers pal.when you say get over,get over from where?
  5. i doubt the publics view will never change.they are too naive,hear of a bull or rotty attack then label the whole breed.what about all the other attacks by other breeds? it happens,you know it,i know it but it doesnt get published.
  6. ah lad id say more than that got a 2 nearly every weekend..... lads them rifle boys ruin our sport.... Every piece of ground i work the terriers on is lamped weekly with rifle but i still manage to find 99% of the time.its been another exceptional year for me,i thought last year was good.although it is lamped and many are accounted for by the rifle,alot of the ground is wooded and unlampable
  7. so my mrs is right when she tells me 'size doesnt matter' i too like small terriers but id not want anything smaller than 12".(terrier that is )
  8. Times have changed.i didnt go to college,i started the hard way and was taught by old school keepers although i did do a YTS sceme with rural pursuits in which i hated and didnt see the whole course through.im affraid any wana be keepers id advise to get into a college,do EVERY course you can get,including the forestry/land management side of things,this way your options are left wide open.many commercial shooting estates want to see paper work rather than dirty hands nowadays. agreed , but , abit of first hand experiance always looks good on your cv first hand experience i

  10. done that on purpose to see who was on the ball Saturday 17th july.
  11. FMWTC Charity Terrier,Lurcher and family Dog Show. Saturday 17th July. Charity- 'HELP FOR HEROES'. All qualifiers applied for,(some already received) including the bull cross. Hopefully simulated coursing! Location-Malt Shovel lane,Upper Lambourn,Berkshire,RG17 8QN. Time 11am. licensed bar and BBQ. Hope to get a few trade stands.
  12. I am having a general get together on monday 15th March at 8pm for existing members and any terrier lads that wish to join,still only £10 a year!! i already have a few lads coming and alot more interested.Anyone interested,please PM me for location
  13. not a truer word spoken.my best mate(digging partner)didnt return home.needless to say which is why the chosen charity for my show is 'HELP FOR HEROES'
  14. alot of us round here have fork cut off for getting through the chalk.good post!
  15. unfortunately a few lads decided to run a few hares after the show which is one of the reasons the show was stopped.the other reason was the bare knuckle. fingers crossed all will go smooth and no coursing takes place after the event other wise it will be the first and last chance to bring back what was an exellent event. its taken me alot of time and pursuading of the lambourn parish and mr hills who ownes the chosen paddock,i just hope it flows well,theres a good attendance and everyone enjoys themselves
  16. mine will be held on the first field it was held on,not the sloping one at seven barrows but the one opposite the malt shovel pub alone malt shovel lane in upper lambourn.IF the show proves to be near as busy as it once was all them years ago,then i shall move it to the seven barrows field.
  17. 17th july.will shortly put all details up on the show section
  18. Are we talking about the scuedules or a proper hard back book?
  19. Surely not the booklet by hancock it only cost me £3.25 'HOW MUCH!!' Think i will try and borrow one instead in that case.
  20. hey poach,i did see there was a booklet about it but id imagine it would cost a small fortune.i may ring david to get some information. ive got the original booklet if you want to buy it? PM sent.
