Found this wood plaque 40 old years ago when I was knock a building down, it's about 9 inches by 6.5 inches. Every now and again I find it at the back of a cupboard and end up trying to solve the Family Heraldry it is. I thought the Motto would be enough "Tout ou Rien" which means ( All or Nothing). Adams came up having that motto in this country and think it was Gundulic Family in Europe. The shield is quartered the top left a cross it could be Adams and that would fit with the motto, but also Villiers and Bigod could be possible. Bottom Left could be de Bermingham (Birmingham). Bottom right maybe Ayala or Lopez (Spanish). Top right no real clues if it's Spanish as well maybe Martinez. Up in the top right you can see two things that look like bridges that sign means 'first born" the four round thing are I think Crescents if you look closely which mean "second born"
Now there was a Blount that married a Ayala quite famous be nice if that was in it.
I theory should be able to get the colours from the way its carved.
Cheers Arry
All or nothing? My French is very rusty.

The "Flood" is mentioned in most religions and myths.
Its postulated that it may have been the breaching of the Pillars of Hercules, or the Bosporus land bridge, both of which would have had catastrophic results in the Mediterranean, and explain the myth in the Semitic religions.
It doesn't, however explain how religions and myths as diverse as the Chinese, Australian aboriginals, North American natives and Norse all have Great Flood Myths.
So, perhaps that's all it is, a myth ?
Cheers.

Legion/plummer bred from a pet bull and it wasn't the first choice bull he used,the first choice dog was a real deal and plummer was told to do one when he asked to use it..
Rockey lee wasn't it.? Some cracking looking patterdales bred down from same dog.

I like the look of plummers, especially the early smaller type but i can't help thinking to myself why re-invent the wheel when Russells have filled the role?
I think the jack Russell club ( or whatever it was called)- de- registered his dogs. So he went and called them after himself.

Are you meaning putting back full line breeds over bull out crosses TT or full bull bloods .
Bitch I had was 1/8 bull - just the one cross of bull in her. (Apart from the legendary/ fictitious one back in 60s or 70s).I think Legion kennels bred away from it too quickly. That bitch I had was born on Christmas day 2003 -already a granddaughter of a dog born in 99 - flying through the generations rather than testing each one and breeding best to best.

Your last post baffles me Steve . How many gens do you think it would take to breed out something put in and what would you put over what to do so .I’ve added bull via a 3/4 pat so 1/4 bull .The lad breeding the first half cross has never used another but there is no mistaking the dogs he breeds .I’m a firm believer that once the physical attributes are gone ,bred out so is any other attribute but might be wrong .
I'd say 2 or 3. I'd a granddaughter of the last bull cross Plummer did in late 90s. To look at her you'd think there was no bull in her - her dam (3/4 plummer, 1/4 bull) looked an obvious bull cross.

One of the main promoters of bitcoin is a lady called Bettina Warburg (same name as the sister of the guy who thought up the U.S Federal Reserve)_ for that reason alone I wouldn't trust it one bit. I think the Euro will fail sooner rather than later - and these cryptos will be the only option left ( accidentally on purpose). All a further move towards a cashless society/nanny state.

This dog was a gift off plummer,he was pagan x vampire,so a quarter patterdale Nigel hinchcliffes stuff was used as an outcross.
Its a good cross. Did it myself a few years ago. Same story as with you're one - Plummer owners more likely to use a red n white dog than a different colour one with a good few busy seasons behind it. (Best of that litter has still never covered a bitch at 7)

Exactly. I’ve been around bulldogs my whole life( Bulldogs = American pit bull terrier). And its the same stuff. Guys saying things like I don’t need no pedigree. Or I’ve seen dogs that cost $50 make those pretty pedigree dogs look stupid. All I do is laugh when people say things like that. For some reason they can’t wrap their heads around the fact that it’s possible for people to take performance and pedigree into consideration when buying or breeding the dogs. Name any of the best breeders who used what they bred and every single one of them has bred to a dog based only on how it was bred. The key though was that it was a dog from the family they have been breeding for the past 15 plus years and personally saw the dogs in the first four generations of the dog chosen for its pedigree. There were many top dog men that never worked any of their females used for breeding. Breeding untested dogs isn’t something I would recommend for a person who is just starting out or even someone who isn’t breeding a family of dogs that they have years of hands on experience with. When a person was the one who has bred the parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and so on of the dogs in there yard they can get away with breeding an untested dog every once in a while
A lot of park coursing greyhound men are the same. Often the second or 3rd best bitch out of a litter makes the best brood bitch. A lot of top notch bitches don't breed on(having their seasons stopped might be the cause of it or amphetamines)

gifted ,sell do what you want to do but keep it honest about the dogs , i have in the past filled other mens kennels , and once was royal f****d over,other if you gave them two rats they'd manage to breed mice, i've just bred a litter and gave them away all to working homes and hopefully they will do the job , i paid the stud reared them and then placed them ... my old chap god rest him couldn't get his around giving pups away , as he said "if you walked into someone house and said thats a nice TV would they give you it , would they f**k your f***ing mad" he had a point all i know is i'll gift pups but i'll never fill another mans kennel again , to make a mistake doesn't make you stupid but if you keep doing it then you are !
The vast majority of dogs in continental Europe must be carrying some of your breeding via Tom/Grom.

I'd a bitch pup once that was killing large adult rats at 8 weeks old. (she found them herself).I cant see what the benefit of baiting pups with tame rats is though.It seems to be an american thing -trying to have them dug to by 7 months old etc.

Just watched a two part thing on the Irish Famine.
Very, very good and informative.
Just to get an idea of the scale of the disaster was eye opening, the famine was Europe wide but they lost 100,000 dead on the continent of Europe compared to 1,500,000 dead in Ireland and 2,000,000 emigrated.
Thats unthinkable.
Also loads of little things like £8 million spend on Irish famine reliefs but £14 million spent on police & military in Ireland in the same period.
A very interesting and unbelievable chapter in British history.
I think most of the rest that died in europe were in belgium. Mayo had half a million people in it before the famine. There was also another famine about 100 years before that one (caused by freezing fog).

Seems to be a good mix.
They looked a lot like yours as well. Youd never have thought theyd have made a brilliant litter to go by the parents. Bitch was a very runty bull hound more like a whippet and youd turn a jumbo jet easier than the dog.(both loved teeth though).it was like they just brought exactly the right parts of each parent.

One of the biggest problem theses days is that people are increasingly linking fitness with rippling muscles, when the opposite is often the case, for anything that needs to run much above 200 meters big muscles are an increasing hinderance.
couple of the fittest fellas alive when this was taken but note the lack of rippling muscles.
even the sprinters are losing the bulk.
true-and the only man(van niekerk) to break 10 for 100m,20 for 200 m and 44 for 400m is quite lightly built. (i reckon he could probably give the 800meter record a fright if he tried) .Ive heard of greyhounds becoming over muscular (a tendency to put on so much muscle that it becomes a hindrance to them).

around 8 or 9 lb (too small). Handy at times though
