    What was the breeding of the dam to that dog? Looks like he’s got decent feet and coat on him

    Good luck with the pups. When you are working dogs in the way you do I think 11 is a good age. My dog is 11 now and he’s still doing alright. I just notice the next day he’s had it and needs to be rested a day or so. He’s getting clumsy and I suppose it’s a bit disheartening when he’s seeing dogs that he showed the ropes to out classing him. As long as they’ve had a good life then I think they are happy with chilling in the garden and a walk along the beach.

    That’s decent mate.

    Looks a smart little dog. What’s in the black one FP?

    There’s much better places to go up there in my opinion. I grew up in the area so I was lucky enough to call it my back garden I suppose.

    That’s a great route up. Only worth doing if it’s clear visibility as you want to see the view. Top tips is leave really early (probably before first light). There is then less risk of getting stuck behind people. If you are definitely not sure then chip in and get a guide. Once you are on you are fairly committed. It’s easier to crack on than back track through the crowds. I tend to stay away from Snowdon, or should I say Yr Wyddfa when the crowds are there.

    I’d say the same. Similar to a bitch I have. Minimal bull in her though

    They always run for the rocks where I am. I’m not a terrier man so I just leave them for another day. I was out on the hills last year a good 4 or 5 miles from the nearest road. Dogs took off and I located them at a remote pile of rocks marking. As you can see from the pic somebody had been there recently and a dog must have dropped in. The rocks above have all been dug out. Must have been some work doing that and the only way up there would be by quad/ATV.

    If only they were closer!

    There should be lads out there with the type you are after. If you don’t want a grew then you are going have to look down the collie grew or beddy grew route maybe. My dogs sire was a grew and his dam was saluki collie grey. He’s been a decent dog so I think breeding along them lines would suit what you wanted.

    Rusty roof, dirty cellar!

    Still a fair weight to be humping around Tomo! I suppose if you camped out up there then the dogs could have a good feed too.

    Good thread this so hopefully it keeps going. Never had a crack at this type of hunting and I’m no expert with any type of cross that suits. Size, weight and grit would make sense. Until you see the size of these animals up close and the power they have running then that’s when you can appreciate a dog that would even get up close. A dog would be no comparison in weight and would potentially be connecting with the quarry at full pace. I would imagine that would take a special dog. Risk of injury to the dog when in a really remote place would also need to be considered. I’ve always wondered ho
