    I agree . My daughter wasn’t subjected to religion either

    Right, I agree with that.

    …. Unlike in the 70’s when you were sent to Sunday school , so your parents could have adult time 😳.

    Haven't got a clue what you're on about here?!

     While the kids were getting touched up by the “friends of the church “ 

    Yes, I think we all know that really HAS happened, which is absolutely repulsive and mind boggling to me, why people AROUND THE WORLD still support religion.

    She's about 25 inch to the shoulder matey,that's gonna be about her now as far as height goes,as far as weight wise I could see her getting up towards the very high 20's in kilograms if not the low 30's when fully matured. She was weighed at the vets at 6 month's old & was over 22kg then..at the end of the day she will be what she will be buddy. She's well bred,she will get her chance & the rest is up to her at the end of the day. Were I a betting man I'd say she will be better than average.

    I might've missed the info on her breeding, FUJI, but is she bred down from your own dogs?

    Very nice pup, anyway.

    I’d like to see that in the flesh one day. They’re a pretty big bird and I think seeing a few hundred all at once would be pretty cool.

    They are surprisingly large, when you get fairly close to them, and extremely agile in the air.

    It's do do with them successfully spreading across UK from a little village in Wales where they were reintroduced I think there was one left, they feed them think they had 3/400 of them there..

    Gigrin farm, Rhayader.

    Went there a couple of times, many years ago.

    Elan Valley, mid Wales.

    The visitor centre, the reservoirs etc, are  beautiful places to visit, mate, but it's a fair old drive, about 200 miles, from your neck of the woods.

    Sprayers have their places, maybe in an indoor car body spray shop.  🤓

    Have to know your stock and make decisions based on what they show you. Got a real good glimpse as to her mindset and intent.

    Would agree with you there regarding most lurcher crosses but dogs with real pit in them if their bred right will be wired and more than ready at a year to be tried in my experience. Not saying, throw them in the deep end and push them to their limits but definitely be ready for some action.

    Wouldn't be for me, fellas.  But,  I've been accused, several times, of wrapping my dogs in cotton wool!!  Lol 👍

    Just a few action shots. Have a 4yo Apbt x Stag and his 10mo daughter who we started this week. Showing good promise. Would like for her to take one solo come 12mo 

    Takes contact silently. Pushes into the grip. Learning the pointy end and starting to pick angles. 

    Shes’s a big dog. Should be handy on pigs and provide strong finish on coyotes. 

    Denning season comes to a close in June and the young dogs start to become territorial. Hope to get her on some later this summer. 

    Winter just ended - will start dropping weight on the duo and prep them for the upcoming heat

    Each to their own, but 10-12 months on 'tough quarry' is far too young, for me.

    Don't care how physically big and strong a dog or bitch is.  It's more mental maturity, and at that age they are still very much pups.

    cut the field down from 40 horses to 32 for safety 

    And dropped the height of some of the fences by a couple of inches, which they also did a few years ago.

    Race ain't the same.

  22. Boxing At The Weekend...

    I must admit that Fury and the circus surrounding him frustrates me more than anything in boxing.., and nothing more so than the constant lies and contradictions. Thing is there are times when he’s very respectful and comes across humble and like a really decent guy. That’s probably the bi-polar thing and I do feel some sympathy for him and those closest to him that need to deal with it. He’d do himself and his cause and public image no harm in staying the fcuk away from social media though.

    None of these boxers are one man bands. And I don’t believe Fury fears AJ any more than AJ fears Fury. It’s people and ‘politics’ around them that have stopped this fight happening so far. Thing is I don’t believe that one fight might even end the debate. What if Fury totally out boxes AJ and wins all of the first seven rounds then gets caught and stopped by one big bomb.., or AJ knocks Fury on the floor 3 times before gassing and getting stopped on his feet, unable to defend himself? In both (surely possible?) scenarios the loser will no doubt want another crack at it.., and I’m sure as fcuk I’d want to see it.

    Maybe it will happen but time is surely running out. The punters deserve to see the fights they want to see. If they don’t, and we continue to be served up novelty fights and youtubers as the main events, then I reckon many real boxing fans will turn off ‘big time’ boxing and its broadcasters.

    I wonder how many threads we’ve had over the last decade on these two fighting. This latest one nearly 600 pages deep! Thinking back over the years with all the different users and some of the fan boy bickering about who could beat who.., and we’re still no closer to actually finding out. Wish I had a penny for every post on the subject.., I might even be able to afford the PPV if they ever do make it into the ring.

    Couple of sensible points there, mate.

    Watched a couple of YouTube vids last night, one of them being that totally pointless, self ego stroking, fury press conference.

    I've taken three possible scenarios from it, none being good or positive.

    There's a reason why they spray cars and don't paint them with a brush mate 👍

    Totally different, kingy.

    You can 'work' creosote into the wood better with a brush, and are less likely to miss awkward cracks/crevices etc.

    Jeemes.... I see you like a bit of bread with your butter don't ya mate.. Lol

    Butter is 'some' of the food of the gods.

    None of this 'low fat spread' shite etc etc, get some real butter down your neck.

    Real fat, animal fat, full fat milk etc, is all better for you than this low fat, no fat complete BOLLOX they keep trying to ram down our throats, for 'our health and longevity' etc they keep churning out.

    Not aimed at you in particular 👍
