  1. You don't suppose whomever told you that might have been full of it do ya? I've read that wolves have or had enough jaw strength to shear the top of dogs head off too, you can read it for yourself in a book entitled Of Wolves And Men. Its a damn fine read too imo... but I have to wonder if everything said in it is 100% correct. book by a fella called lopez? could well be true-mother nature has been culling hard since year zero-only the strong survive
  2. the've only been banned a couple of years. the last winner of the waterloo cup is probably still alive. plus you could get one from ireland. i think the lady from the "coursing diary" was telling me they breed 5,000 coursing greyhounds in ireland a year. ranging in cost for pups from around a 1,000 euro upto whatever you wanted to pay (5/6,000 for a stakes winners pup). only about 1/2 doz make any stake money, so there must be tons of retiring coursers or sapplings who didnt make the grade kicking about suitable for breeding or waiting to patiently to be turned into hunting dogs. id love
  3. welcome to the forum jonathan, is there still rabies in france?
  4. working ability comes first line breeding is ok if there both workers but a lot of terriermen and peddlersare breeding dog and bitches that are bred right but are not workers iv seen peds on other sites which are not true but then if a lad buys a pup he can only belive the man that bred it.in an ideal world working dog to working bitch of the same ancestory. if you bred a donkey to red run the foal wouldnt win the grand national.blood is like whiskey its no good water down. but tisnt every man that can handle the pure drop.
  5. because it was premeditated while you were getting the gun..moral of the story ..sleep with a loaded 1

  7. good post-do you have any pictures of your fathers terriers
  8. A match went 6 hours 58 minutes in the former yougoslavia about 2 years ago -i dont think theres many dogs that would match a pit for endurance. id say the dogo/running dog cross would be some operater on large game allright though.Theres a litter of dogos for sale on olx.ie at the moment.
  9. more stamina than a pit ...ha,ha,ha
  10. 4 dogs stolen in the east limerick area.One male 3/4 collie hound 12 years old ,big dog ,red brindle and white,one brindle whippet lurcher sapling (male),One rough coated patterdale male(2 years old),one plummer/american pitbull cross male ,plummer marked -looks like a staff from about 50 years ago,16-17 tts 30lb big head.Ill try and get some pictures up later(posting for a friend)
  11. Theres plenty fellows that would mark them up with a stanley blade as well.If i ever have a dog run to ground unexpectedly(without a collar)-i have a tiny russell bitch -a little fart of a thing ,7-8lb she wouldnt bite through a sheet of paper,,id put her in to find out was happening-she never mixes just a commentator-a fair voice on her for the size of her though.Ive done it starting pups as well ( with their dam) but it would depend on the burrow and depend on the dogs in question.
  12. I think thats all based on mitochondrial d.n.a i.e our damlines.In ireland i think something like 90% of us have the same.Men ,as soldiers and sailors more than likely were in them times wouldnt affect that,,some celtic men might have come over ,introduced ironworking and their language,rode all around them ,but it still wouldnt affect the mitochondrial dna(female line) of the population.The deise (waterford people) were definitely celts from gaul. But your right though-the ancient skulls and depictions of running dogs in pictish art suggest that greyhound types have been here since a long t
  13. Did the glen/russell come from a guy in wexford? Ive a few similarly bred pups myself (plummer/pitbull x glen)
  14. Well done jamie,That brock dog is a fine animal.
  15. ANNUAL JABS?? LIKE AS IN EVERY YEAR? PLEASE ENLIGTHEN US AS TO WHY DOGS NEED JABBED ANNUALLY? to make vets rich
  16. No mate ,i would dig a hole and start again . Its the same with all genes 2 litter brothers one works good he has the genes, if the other doesnt work good he doesnt carry the genes same with bitches if not passed directly they wont filter through a dog/bitch could be a jacker/cur but can reproduce the best game dogs ever..they either have a great reproducing gene or not..how many times have great digging dogs throw pure dirt in their offspring.. some of the best blood lines in the apbt world have been based on curs i.e bullyson Satin Lady has threw Alligator, and she was cold.
  17. no ,id take her out of the genepool altogether ,one way or an other. http://chla.library.cornell.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=chla;cc=chla;rgn=full%20text;idno=3133276;didno=3133276;view=image;seq=22;node=3133276%3A7;page=root;size=s;frm=frameset; Heres a link to a good book that tells you why,once vital genes have been lost from an individual within a breed they arent going to fall out of the sky and appear in her litter.Maybe if the dog is a super worker then you might be o.k but the dirt is sure to come out eventually.It does even when you breed best to best.
  18. take the ball away and try to take her out with with another dog/dogs that give tongue like fuk when bushing (plummers would be my choice but im biased in that direction). I use my plummers to bush rabbits for greyhound saplings and they have them sent cracked(i use them for digging too).Your dog is bound to get caught up in the excitement eventually.
  19. and everyone complains about how many useless terriers are about,i.m.o its a result of them being overly inbred- the best and worst of their genepool comes to the surface-sometimes even in the same litter.There is a lot to be said in favour of inbreeding as well though as long as one tests his /her breeding stock well and breeds only from good workers.
  20. any double jointed deaf and dumb nypphomaniacs out there
  21. I like the head on that fella,best of luck with him.
