    I've only started to target big perch over the last couple of years I have managed to catch some very nice fish .I like the look of them & the smaller ones are fine table fish .

    This bitch is well gone now ,touched by "old man time ,Dee was one of the very best bushing dogs I've owned & had the pleasure to spend time with out on the hill .Unwanted by a farm hand she came to me ,very thin & covered in fleas .She was frightened ,hiding in the back of the kennel & when I reached into the box she came forward & fanged my hand ,drawing blood. She had been chasing the farmhands chickens & I could tell she had been beaten & miss treated .Dee showed me within several days she was very gun shy & at the first signs of the gun being used she would bo

    What I didn't post up & should of is the major strong asset "happy " has is he has beagle type tracking nose ,he can enter cover long after the other dogs, and catch the rabbit .He listens a lot & is great at taking a rabbit out of its seat by sneaking up head down ,tail up , sounds much like the dog you commented on lamperNM. However a lurcher type or a pure whippet would be my choice for a rabbiting dog.

    I've used this Tan & white dog for a good number of years ,he's a dog I use with the ferrets over a gun or nets ,he can do it all ,flushing ,bringing back to hand , apart from running down a rabbit out in the open .Around the nets he's cat like & doesn't miss many, "Happy" is a cross between a Jack Russell and a English springer Spaniel .

    when I read about dogs facing teeth on here I smile ,some of the dogs pictured here were killed during a encounter with a boar ,at least with the tracking gear you can find them .A wild boar is a real test for any dog, week in week out, some jack it and lose any interest in answering the bark or to bring a big boar to bail. These dogs are either rehomed or given away . A dog that rips the ball bag on the chase is highly valued .Every boar is dangerous & by the body language it sends out, the dogs know, to handle with care even so some pay the highest price .

    We would carry the pigs as above for miles ,sometimes over steep ruff ground where the under growth is heavy & thick.

    90% of the trout I catch I release back into the water as I don't eat them & I like the idea that the fish is there for somebody else to catch and enjoy .I don't know if anyone has noticed the bed rock in the pictures ,rivers that have this also have good number of fresh water Crayfish which the trout target making their flesh bright Orange ,fine table fish .

    Jett always seems to get himself in the right spot for any escaping rabbits ,he seems to know the right spot .Without doubt I more than most ,know that good dogs breed good dogs .With each breeding I like to see a improvement ,at times you don't get one but it shows up on the next cross, part of my cull program is I will not breed with a substandard dog or bitch .I used Jett who is rising 6 now over a good bitch & the pup I kept is showing signs of being what we term a "goer" the rest is up to me .I wont require the pup called "snow" to do anything huge or mind blowing until he's fully b

    I don't need to go very far to fresh water fish ,since I live on a dead end road leading down to one of the best brown trout rivers in New Zealand but I also like to fish different waters so we try not to fish the same waters twice within any given season .I'm pretty sure I wouldn't see more than 4/5 other fishermen during a season but that depends on where I go however there is never a shortage of spots ,any water that has a bridge over them ,you can find trout in them ,even after 50 years of fishing I still can find a spot I've never fished before ,that keeps it all very interesting .ATB TB

    Now bet your boat REALLY flys with that big donk .I should mention while I could use my boat local it would be rare to get the weather right ,our water is cold & there is no land mast between the bottom of the South Island and the polar cap ,the sea is a killer and every year good sized fishing boats are lost along with their crews ,a 5 meter swell is common place and the weather can change within a few minute's.Ive been out years ago when I was still young & silly and can still remember looking up and seeing a 10 meter high wall of water racing down from above me .I stick to the har
