  1. And this is why writing can be misconstrued, I knew what you ment and agree to a certain degree but just as you picked up on something you presumed I ment, I did the same. All being said I think you know what I'm getting at but putting it in writing is a different thing, so I'll try here and get back to the original post. If the dog in question is on the larger side and hits a bit in the tube which goes tighter with the fox just in front of it, maybe the fox feels safe enough to stay but knowing the dog can't push on enough to be much of a threat, but the dog (and again I don't know what style
  2. Most people don't have different sizes of terrier to use like picking a gun of a rack, and the one that's with you has to do the job. The lad who asked the original question to my knowledge only has one terrier also, so if you take the generals advice don't leave home without at least 4 different sized terriers or you'll be labelled a fool
  3. A big terrier in tight tubes ain't going to push on as quick as a smaller terrier in big tubes is it, and I never said I'd dig to a harder dog quicker, what was ment was the baying types might not push as much as the harder types and as a result won't be in a stop as quick(if you get what I mean). So to sum up a hard dog at it for an hour may of been in the thick of it longer than an out an out Bayer that's been their for 2 hours.
  4. So you don't think a young dog needs time to push the fox into a stop end?
  5. Yes the amount of time you give depends on the dogs size an temperament, as well as the earth you've put your dog in, and although we have no control over it a lot has to do with the temperament of the quarry
  6. I don't know if this has been mentioned but are you giving him enough time? Some people are to quick with the spade and start digging as soon as contact is made. Let the dog settle into his work load and give him time to push the quarry into a stop. A couple of bangs above before you start digging should move the quarry if it's not in a stop
  7. I want to know which one of you fellas has been using a springer spaniel for digging. Ha ha. The fact of the matter is, as always some anti reporter has decided to write a load of shite and as usual the idiot public take it as gospel. I've read the same things about badger baiting, dog fighting and taking foxes away to be "torn apart" more times than I care to remember and yet terrier work is still here, even the stupidest politician must know its a load of bollocks by now.
  8. Found a coin whilst digging once, I think it was called a black half penny or something like that from if memory serves me right 1600s, thought all my money worrys were over, so looked it up and it was worth 76p well gutted but we had a good dig to my bitch that day so wasn't a total loss
  9. I'd say the deerhound adds a more laid back dog in the kennels, I'd also like to say intelligence but mines thick as shite
  10. Just watched the piss take poacher vid and it bought back many memories, sort of wish I never watched it cause it reminds me how much I missed it. Crying shame they banned it
  11. That's not what I've been told and that was from a top nurse, but maybe I misunderstood, I'll check with him next time I see him
  12. Amoxicillin left over, it's the same for dogs and humans and despite what vets tell you they don't go out of date
  13. Proper misery arse in kennels, a bit happier in the field Dug and shot or whatever you put
  14. I dunno paulus I've just got a sixth sense about these things
  15. If the question is how to film rabbits lamping I think the hard part would be getting the rabbit to hold the lamp
  16. I've got a sneaky suspicion that blackbuck doesn't like Liamkelly
  17. I never said they can run into vehicles unharmed but let's face it, if a lurcher ran into a car I don't think it would be much better off than a greyhound
  18. I had a fella ask me what dogs I had once, so I told him I kept lurchers " oh " he said "I'd never keep one of them they have brittle necks" " how do ya work that one out" I says " I know a few people that have had them and died from a broken neck" "Well how did they break their neck" I asked sort of knowing what the reply would be. "They ran into a tree" Now that was the answer I knew that he'd say so I already had my come back sorted "you run into a tree at 30 odd mph head first and see how brittle your neck is". I think he changed his view of lurchers after that and let's face it, it's
  19. Bosun ya cheeky b*****d, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't of had any terriers on your tally
  20. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't make it wrong. The Labour Party didn't agree with hunting and they didn't like the people who did it, they knew the facts but banned it anyway. Sounds very similar to some of the people on this thread. Here's a few stories just to so how uneducated people can be just to force a point, when me and the missus were first going out she told me I shouldn't kill foxes," why? "I asked," because their endangered " she said, "how do you work that out" was my reply, "well I've never seen one". "And nor will you sat on your arse watching telly" that put
  21. Elephants are a pest they destroy everything, that's why nobody in Africa gives a toss about this elephant, truth be told if it wasn't for the money they make through hunting and tourism they'd kill them all. The elephant was old enough to of passed any worth while genes on anyway, but the true question I'd be asking is why did nobody know this specimen? Why was he alone? Sounds to me as if he may of been pushed out of somewhere and was living a solitary life, maybe he wasn't as good a specimen as they'd have us believe.
  22. This is a big ask but a friend we go digging with has had a few knee operations so can no longer come out digging, but if we got a quad then he'll be able, so what I'm after is a 4x4 farm quad, honda, Kawasaki or anything considered, must be powerful enough to pull a trailer with a couple of lazy fat b*****ds in. Within 2 hours of liverpool and for about £800. Thanks
