What would be the normal size wise for the cork dogs/bitchs as a friend of mine used to keep them some years back until he got into bad health and some he had were big to say the least,he actually might still have some as ive not been speaking with him in a few years.He actually got me 1 of them,a dog called SAM from a man in wexford with a lot of SB stuff in its make up,good dog,not really built for tight fox earths but done a job.

Also there is a little law here vin Ireland that allows you shoot any c**t that you may think is going to harm you or your family by entering your home by force,lol would a terrier that your not even sure is or was yours be worth it.

Its always been around Chesney ,just not highlighted until the likes of facebook and thl and such came about,theres always been dealers just out there for a quick buck and no consideration towards the dogs,it could be terriers this wk lurchers next wk and they will still come and tell you there bred of such and such lines and they have the same line years but then there is people that like to hear this and buy just because of this.A friend of mine some years back gave 2 weeks wages for a pup of a certain man that had a red dog that was supposed to be the bees knees.I and another friend had act

Was chatting with a man earlier this eve that i done a lot of digging for years back,mid 80s early 90s and he asked me did i still keep the terriers.I said i did and will do until i can no longer bring them out to work them.He said that when he 1st came to know me that he used to see the terriers running lose about my yard and that when he passes by now all he ever see's is a golden retriever[not mine] grandsons but stays with us.I explained to him that things are not like what they were 30 odd year ago,nowadays terriers are locked away for there own good for fear of been stolen,at this he was

FD the terrier world is a small circle,it could take time but the whereabouts of both men and dogs will eventually pop up because someone always knows someone that knows someone.

I remember a few year ago a mate of mine sold a pup to a certain individual with a money back or replacement pup in the guarentee.The time passed and my mate got a phone call some time later that the dog was a failure and was pts.My mate then stuck to his agreement and the man in question took another pup in replacement.I then started chatting to a man of here and he told me of a certain dog his mate had that he had bought of a lad from a different county and there the puzzle started to unravell.The dog had not been pts and was sold to another man but a second pup was got under false pretences

I wouldn't think so. I'd say the fact he couldn't see me and the terriers weren't looking at him he felt safe. Funny enough on the same farm a few years ago I witnessed an amazing piece of animal behavior . It was a hot Summers day and I was sitting on a gate looking across the fields. The only dog I had with me was a small but racey Pit Bull bitch called Pepper. Across the field there was a Hare going about her business and she spotted Pepper and came over to investigate. She couldn't see me on the gate and Pepper spotted her and took of after her. I stayed on the gate and after a few mi -

Fox knew your terriers,knew he was safe as f**k. -
Lol you must have read a f***ing dictionary to come up with some of them words,but i agree all animals should be humanely dispatched and not bragged about on the www.

I personally cant/dont see the problem even if it was FD bitch,at the end of the day he gave the bitch away and if he is not happy that she was moved on then he should have made it clear when parting with her in the 1st place that she was to come back to him[1st refusal] if the other party did not want her or if she was not what they wanted,not having a go at FD but thats the way we do things,maybe im wrong.

I remember when i used to get the mag there was a chap called Darrigie probably spelt that wrong but he used to do some good articals on terrier work.

Think there's something FISH'Y about you Neil.

I had a terrier here that lost its front leg and he was dug to countless times afterwards and it did not seem to hinder him,Neil would probably remember him [butch].

Your just a lazy fat c**t,get up of your arse and get them dogs out doing a bit,lol ,its f***ing pissing down here at the minute,dogs cleaned and fed now to feed myself and then some socializing to be done,lol.

I actually lived close to Joe years ago and knew him quite well,not the big hard man he comes across as and not a bad man when you get to know him as are his sons,its all a hype thing with them on you-yube to try and better other travellers but they can fight.

We had a good season and everything went well,dogs all worked well and are deserving of the rest now,not a pretty sight at the moment but a few wks rest and they will recoup.The best part of the season for me was i entered a young bitch early on and she has been dug to a dozen times with good results including a very good din only last sunday,more than happy with her,she will now have 6-7 months rest before she see's an earth again,she not 2 year old until end of march so done well.We actually dug a vixen on sunday heavy in cub so im glad to pack it in for this season,atb to everyone.
