    That it does. My wife wakes me up to say Im grinding my teeth whenever something bad has happened to one of my terriers. Losing a good one is a bad feeling.

    I know just how you feel man. I've had some years where I went through many dogs. After what I went through to find good stock, Id say don't waste time on unknown or unseen dogs. Stick with a group of friends that are doing it like you like to do it. It may be a few years before they breed something that you can get a pup off of but its worth it. Going through dog after dog that fails will make you wanna quit altogether. Just wait for that good one to come along.

    Being in the midst of putting together some books of my own, I can say its not easy to produce good work. It's hours of tedium. Do you have some books you have written fox bolter? I'm not Coming to anyone's defense. Whether a book is good or not is a matter of someone's opinion. But somebody saying something is easy when they haven't done it makes me laugh. Who knows, maybe you e written a few. I don't know.

    It's not easy work putting a book together. I like an obsession with NS.

    Fact is, the sport is going to be in disrepute no matter what you do. Enjoy the sport folks. Stop ragging on each other. We all know that terriers get harmed while working. To pretend there is another wholesome or safe way to do it is to play games and make those who are doing it right look bad too. I used to get my panties in a bunch over graphic pictures. But the truth is, terrier work isn't pretty. People pushing the idea that it can be done without dogs dying or getting injured is what has created the laws that keep people from using draw dogs which in America I have used to great affect

    It's like comparing an orange to a toothpick.

    Nice jagds. You are right, there is alot of showing in the breed. It has become very hard to find good ones. Most are being worked above ground or trialed in tunnels for five minute bouts. It is all silly. The real work separates the wheat from the chaff.

    If you've got an interest in this stuff, you should google it or watch some youtubes.

    Editing and formatting are two totally different jobs. Printing the books will be another expense. Not to mention there are 4 types of editors to be hired if you're really going all out. My family has three teachers of literature in it, so we're proficient amongst ourselves for much of what needs to be done.

    It depends on who is doing it for you. I have a friend from college doing it. For a cheap freelance editor, it was gonna cost $500 plus. I didn't look into formatters because I have one.
  11. Mosby
    Looks like publishing is postponed. My formatter can't get it formatted until December.

    To them I would say write it. Hunters are the ones to write this history. Otherwise it will be the enemies of hunting who write it.

    Cement is very bad for the dogs feet. Wood is much better. Good earth is best on the dogs feet, joints and skin but a good plastic mesh floor is very soft on the feet from what I've been told. Like I say, you should be running your dogs out of whatever kennel they're living in. Kennel isn't for exercise, its for rest.

    I have cement floors lol. The kennels I am now using were built by my dad when I was a boy.
  15. Mosby
    I am convinced raised kennels are the best. It cuts down on worms, fleas and ticks. The dogs are much cleaner. Always dry. The dog house, if insulated properly will keep the dog plenty warm. no kennel is big enough for the dog to be really stimulated and exercised. So the size is a non issue. Many say the dogs are actually more behaviorally stable in the above ground kennels because they feel safe. Better all around.

    I wouldn't use a publisher on a book with a small niche like this. They'd take all your profits, which when you add your time up will not be much. Also, they'll take forever in putting your books out. I would study up on self publishing if I were you. Find a print on demand publisher so that you don't need a garage full of books that may or may not be bought. You'll need to learn to format or find a professional formatter. Hire a cover artist as well. Look all this kind of stuff up online for details.

    The other book is titled "Tit" I wasn't calling you a tit lol. Man, a person can get themselves in trouble on here.
  18. Mosby
    It's not finished yet, LenM. I've had to rewrite a few sections, then formatting. Then when the cover is done, it'll be available.
  19. Mosby
    Thanks folks. I will have it out as a physical book for a while before I do an ebook. DillyDog, this was Grit. If you want the soft porn stuff, you'll have to read my other book... Tit

    Coallie The cold pipe was not what interested Coallie, but rather the warm stink that came from it. She squeezed with all her pent frustration to enter the cramped space. She had done it dozens of times; her ancestors had done it millions more. This is what she was meant to do. This is what she lived and breathed for. She was full of a fire that could not be extinguished, only dampened. Only action could satisfy, only action could calm her rage. The fire burnt her insides up. She pushed and pulled her way into the irrigation pipe. She could see movement down the tube and knew... Her adver

    Damn. I'll try again when I get the chance.

    Here you go fellas. As requested, this is a small portion of the novel I have been writing. I hope y'all enjoy.
  23. Mosby
    Some of you already have seen one of the cover choices in the last topic I posted about my books. My wife is working on another cover that I like better. Hopefully, I'll be able to post the finished cover soon. I am going through and doing some changes in the final edit of the first draft of my novel. I had hoped to have it finished by now but moving to a new place, plus school and work have got me busy. Once I'm finished with the novel. I'll get back to work on the non-fiction book about hunting here in the Pacific Northwest.
  24. Mosby
    Yes, our hunting is very different in that sense.

    Lukey, if you can find a fox sette in all the brush we have here, you feel free to walk your dog to every hole. Here, the dogs find the sette or it doesn't get found.
