  1. Neil its not a big deal for anyone to take out the game at the end of a dig,i once had a dog that would bite you quicker than the quarry if you tried to lift him when he was up close.I dont think there is too many that wont get there hands dirty but some lads like to see there strng dogs or lurchers work in the end of a dig and if thats what they like then why knock it,everyone does different things while in the field.Is it not illigal to handle game at the end of a dig ?also if everyone told the truth we have all done it including yourself but some pricks take it another step and then it gets
  2. IMO its the camers's and mobile phones that should not be on a dig,not lurchers or strong dogs.
  3. Why did she not just call the law if he was on your premises looking at the garage entrance he was up to no good.
  4. Some maybe late starters,but not all of them.We had a couple of borders of lads from the south of ireland some years back and they both self entered before 12 months old.I personally think its like any other terrier,i have seen some black dogs not enter until 2 year old and maybe with some not enter at all.I also think and this is jmo that it is an important factor in which the way the pup or pups are brought up to adulthood,locked away in a pen until there 14 months old wont do them any good,they need to be out in the field taking in all that is around them from an early age,i think they prog
  5. Big G, I disagree with the bit where you said "and no matter what people admit too,". There are men who go through the whole of their lives having never had a strongdog or a lurcher present on a dig. They are usual men who are brilliant with their hands and able to use a shovel. If the quarry is to be killed a firearms is used and if the quarry is to be relocated or freed they use their hands or step out of the way to let it by. If the quarry is further up the tube they trench or tunnel on, torch in mouth and slide in on their belly to get the job done. Using a dog to draw is often an excu
  6. Good goin Liam,well done the young dog,bitch is shown her age.
  7. Never seen a pointerxspaniel work but neighbour had a labxpointer,very good dog on land and water,great dog on a winged bird or a runner,great stamina would go all day and worked cover like a springer but a lot more bidable.
  8. Running Sand is a nightmare but i have found that peat bogs are the worst as it can travell all over the place with the cracks in the peat and also very liable to flooding,a terrier can be very cold and wet after a dig in peat.
  9. I reckon Liam was commenting on both in as if they make a sound while working there game they were disqualified,let it be bull or wheaton,they were meant to work silent,all pre ban of course
  10. I personally don't think JB gave or gives a flying f**k about the the lads in the book or the irish diging digging men full stop.I know a lot of the lads in the book,good honest diging men but bluck then goes and bans them from his site because they don't play ball with what he has to say.I have also seen him mention certain men as peddlers on his countrywise site,well he is no different as everytime he is on he is either tryiny to sell his books,mags.souviners,or maybe a game fair,to me he is not a dog man he is a money grabing arsehole.He now says he has his own line of black dogs,its only a
  11. Some good digging lads going in that book, like JB or not!! these men will tell there stories Some good digging lads going in that book, like JB or not!! these men will tell there stories They'll hardly "tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth"why not ?Maybe due to JohnnyB'ullshit having the final say on what others write for 'his books'....If the tales don't sell copies whats the point? I believe when he published them there were 2000 limited editions and were going to be sold like hot buns,i see he is still trying to get shut of them,ie,Facebook,Countrywise,and anywhere e
  12. This thread is a load of SHITE if you ask me,dogs shite clean it up end of story.
  13. Good looking pack you got there FD but just out of interest,would you not have 2 different hunts goin on with the harriers been a lot quicker on there feet than say the beagles or the terriersxs.I ask because a friend of mine used to keep a mixed pack of harrier and also had 3-4 beagles and you would always have 2 different hunts on the 1 fox,also the beagles if the fox was ran to ground were b*****ds for goin to ground after it.I bet ye do some pest control with that little pack,atb for the season.
  14. Well done the bitch Bull,great when they do a good job in an awkward place.Had a 16mth old pup out on Sunday bred from the bitch I had to retire.We droped her in what we always regarded as an easy place but this time it went under a huge beech tree and it was 2hr+ when we finially broke through to her well in control.I was well pleased as that's both bitchs dug to at 1st time of asking.
  15. We had a little blackntan bitch over 30 year ago that was a very good terrier on all game but if it was a cold day and you broke through to her you had to grab her straight away or she would be off through the earth to curl up and sleep and pointless trying to drop a hole to get her as she would just move to a different place in the end we would not feed her evening before hunting and always brought something tasty next day so she would hop out knowing she was getting a treat.
  16. im in balla co mayo fatman plenty of deer not far from me, plenty of shooters to so bucks like that dont come often, saw another 1 like him yesterday evening but he was on a island so hes still there. where r u. Westmeath Steve,i have both fallow and reds on my permission but some of it is tough goin.There is a lot of places about me which hold fallow but a lot of shooters know them aswell,lol,with the reds im the only one allowed on the land where they are.
  17. Good goin Steve,nice size buck,what part of the country are you if you don't mind me asking.
  18. What you got in it,i mean what mixture of meat?
  19. Just wondering how everyone's season is goin so far.Seems a lot a finding it hard to find game to ground as are ourselves.We have been at it since start of September and have got on average 2 digs per outing but same time last season had a lot more diging done.I know its early days but most I have spoken with say the same.
  20. Maybe so but without good breeding behind the dogs in the 1st place you wound not have the good dogs to talk about.Any man can put a dog across a bitch and produce a worker or 2 but to do it consistently each time you breed and to keep the same line of dogs goin takes a bit of know how would you not agree.
  21. My introduction to diging was much the same although I had a couple of terriers myself there was a chap that lived about 2 mile from me who was known as red bert.Bert was the man to be in with so to speak as he done nothing much else but dig his terriers.I eventually plucked up the courage to approach Bert and ask if me and my then mate could tag along on a sunday morn with him.He to our surprise agreed but told us not to be late and bring grub and plenty of it which we duly did.When we arrived on that 1st sunday morn with a sack of sandwiches h;e started to hand us tools of different types sa
  22. was talking to a couple of lads local to me at the weekend , they claim to have bought two cocker bred pups " best line of black dogs in the country " they say , haven't heard to much of A Cocker myselfHave also heard lads claiming to have pups of him and love hearing their excuses when I ask about the dogs absence of a tattoo in its ear as I think the man tatoos all his pups in one ear Any pup that came out of his yard will have his initials tattooed in its ear,as said a lot claim to have them but only a small few have,bit like the lad with the 9in penis.
  23. Cut his tail then he cant chase it,f**k me this site gets worse.
  24. Not his choice,he is a quiet man who keeps himself to himself but a lot of people seem to be using his name just for there own gain.The man works and breeds his terriers to the highest level possible,what more can anyone ask for.
  25. Your still an ugly bald c**t even with the head blanked out,lol,how is things Liam,how is the son getting on now since the accident.The old bitch is looking well,nice black dog aswell.We are into double figures at this stage but game is hard enough to find and it seems to be the same all over,atb for the season.
