    WELL MATE , CHEAP GALV DOES WEAR OFF EASILY ............ MAYBE THE PROBLEM OF DISCOLOURATION ? UNLESS THE EYE ISNT WOUND PROPERLY , WITH ROUGH EDGES ..... THE BRASS SHOULDNT BE WEAKENED BY THE ZINC , PLUS I USUALLY SPRAY MY TEALERS PERSONALLY ..... HIGH TENSILE 2.5 AND 3 mm STRAINING WIRE IS EASY TO COME BY , I CANNOT SEE THE POINT OF MAKING A SNARE TEALER WHICH MAY RUST IN SHORT ORDER OR LET YOU DOWN IN THE FIELD FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW COPPERS SPENT EXTRA ALL THE BEST DUCKWING

    WELL FRANK , FIRST OFF ............. I WASNT GETTING AT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR BEING UNABLE TO CARE FOR TWO OR MORE DOGS PROPERLY ......... AS YER PAL IRISH LURCHER SEEMED TO READ ? INTO MY POST !!! SECOND .......... I WAS TRYING TO OFFER NEW AND VERY KEEN LURCHER MEN IN GENERAL A BIT OF GOOD ADVICE WHICH WOULD STAND THEM IN GOOD STEAD THROUGH A LIFE OF KEEPING RUNNING DOGS , AS ITS VERY EASY TO GET CARRIED AWAY AND HAVE TOO MANY DOGS FOR TOO LITTLE HUNTING ITS FAR BETTER TO EXPLOIT THE FULL ABILITYS OF A DOG ......... THAN HAVE TWO WHICH ARE LEFT LIKE AN UNREAD BOOK WITH
  22. DUCKWING
    GET OFF YER HIGH HORSE KID ........ IVE HAD RUNNING DOGS A LONG TIME ................ AND IVE SEEN THE POINT I HIGHLIGHTED .... MANY , MANY TIMES BY MANY FAR MORE EXPERIENCED DOGMEN THAN YOU AND FRANK , I WASNT TALKING OF PRATTS NOT BEING ABLE TO LOOK AFTER MORE THAN TWO DOGS !!!! , I WAS TALKING OF MEN SUB - CONSCIOUSLY FAVOURING ONE SAPLING OVER ANOTHER YOU SEE .....THE COURSING BRED DOGS AND TERRIERS ARENT EFFECTED TO THE SAME DEGREE , THEIR WORK IS IN THEM OR IT ISNT !, HOWEVER THE LURCHER WHICH IS A JACK OF ALL TRADES .. MOST CERTAINLY IS !!! IMO HAVING TWO PUP
  23. DUCKWING
    THE WORST THING ANY LURCHERMAN CAN DO IMO ............... TRYING TO BRING ON TWO PUPS AT ONCE IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER .......... VERY FEW MEN HAVE THE TIME , .......... VERY FEW MEN HAVE THE AMOUNT OF GAME TO GO AT ............ AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ...... VERY FEW MEN GIVE BOTH PUPS AN EVEN CHANCE , MOST WILL FAVOUR ONE OVER THE OTHER HENCE ONE PUP SEES MORE TRAINING , WORK AND GENERAL BONDING NEXT THING IS A SAPLING UP FOR SALE , ......... THROUGH NO FAULT OF ITS OWN ..... DUE TO THE OWNER TAKEING ON FAR TOO MUCH ALL THE BEST DUCKWING
