[Wolsingham, Terrier and Lurcher Show. Co Durham. 2nd Sep.]

see you all there, make sure you say hello.

[Summer hunting.]

fantastic pictures there.

 

looks like all the dogs had a great time.

[few hours out with woodga and his "pet" terriers this morning.]

thanks lads, was a really good day out. Colin always puts plenty of game infront of the dogs and the land is fantastic.

[leeholme dog show on 24-6-12 ,bishop auckland]

ide of been coming but other plans were already in place.

have fun lads.

[beef hearts ?]

i feed lamb heart near enough every day. find beef heart is abit rich for them if i feed to much of it so they only get small amounts now and then.

all my dogs do really well on them.

[The Poachers Rest Show.]

[The Poachers Rest Show.]

[The Poachers Rest Show.]

[The Poachers Rest Show.]

[few hours out with woodga and his "pet" terriers this morning.]

was top morning, cheers lads. couple more pictures i managed to get.

[few hours out with woodga and his "pet" terriers this morning.]

had a cracking walk out this morning with colin and his terriers, the old girl is getting on now at 11 years old but still a cracking little grafter. blaze was same as always, magic.

 

took my 2 pups to show them the ropes, get some good runs for the lurcher and show my patterdale how to go on around cover as i dont have a huge amount of cover to go at on my permission, thankfully woodga is a good enough guy to let me loose on some of his! lol

 

anyway morning started very slow as it was really wet and raining but then the rain stopped and the clouds even broke to let abit sun threw and the last hour and a half was quality. we had some right frisk!, my patterdale managed to bush out a couple of his own and the lurcher made some very good catches, a couple of which were good enough to even impress colin.

 

end of the day was 26 all in and around another 10 managed to escape threw the reed beds and out of view of the dogs.

[Scope made to order ???]

just wondering why such a large lens would be needed/wanted?

 

there are 60" plus scopes around already.

 

if your looking at china to make one it will probably be rubbish, high quality lenses of that sort of size would cost a fortune! if its to allow more light into the scope then large lenses isnt the answer, better quality is. its will be big bulky and por quality.

 

my swarovski 6x36 scope is better at low light then most mid range 50" plus scopes. simply because of the high quality of the lenses used.

[irish staff x]

just to join in!, this is my staff. when i got him as a pup i bought him as an irish staff dont really care if there isnt such a thing ill still call him one lol

 

[best way to teach my whippet to chase a lure?]

i take it he hunts rabbits?

 

get a rabbit skin on the end of the lure, tease him like mad with it and get the guy working it to take it steady a couple of times so the dog gets to follow it with out it taking off before he is running after it.

[whittonstall ,northumberland dog show 3rd june]

[yorkshire show ??]

Might have to have a ride down to this one as well, got no money to spend but I'll be up for Abit of crack if anyone wants to say hello?

[Blanchland Show, Co Durham. 13th May]

I had no idea what was going on with the show so Dident even bother to try and show one of my dogs. Just had some crack with a few lads and collect the new slip lead I had on order. Top quality it is as well the guy is a pure gent and his leather work is the best I've found so far looking around for a good quality slip.

[Blanchland Show, Co Durham. 13th May]

How do you enter a lurcher in the show. Thanks.

 

normally wait till you see the class you want to enter go in the ring then just go in with your dog. they collect the money once your in the ring usually £1 a time.

 

well thats how ive done it at show in the past and there all normally the same kind of thing.

 

ill defo be at this one, looking forward to it.
