  1. Seems to be a bit of that going around, best to walk away with a hard earned lesson, Karma will bite them in the arse
  2. I've read that half a dozen times and I'm still none the wiser
  3. Loads of pups are born from slip matings, I know a lad that won't let them tieat all. The dog ejaculates in the first few seconds, the rest is show bizz and prostatic fluid being released to push the semen along.
  4. Exactly the same, I tried in vain to read the Middleton book......tried and failed, it made no sense what so ever.
  5. Ring molly rose, she'll hook you up right away ?
  6. https://www.petprescription.co.uk/products/1989/alizin/ You'll need a prescription from your vet, at least I know what he's having out of me now ?
  7. https://uk.virbac.com/home/products/reproduction/main/reproduction/alizin.html £60 a bottle usually
  8. I've used it with mixed results, when your own vet advises you NOT to use it if you value your bitch then it's best not to use it. The advice he gave me was that he couldn't guarantee the bitch would ever hold again and it would be better to let her go the term and any pup should be PTS

  10. Nice little pad I've got my eye on RH, it's looking more than likely that I'll end up that way on http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48031866.html
  11. True, but it would give the honest decent lads something to protect their names with. It's never been any different, in my lifetime all you've had to do is buy yourself a terrier and "just like that" you're a terrier man ! We all know different but if there was some sort of system behind terrier work like a licence, something that you had to serve a bit of time on the bank with an older an wiser terrier man before you could strike out on your own then IMO terrier work would be in a better place. Truth be known I had to learn everything the hard way myself, I was just as dull and j
  12. Young lads stuck in their own little circle, no common sense and no respect for the animals they hunt or keep. I've said it for years, terrier work should have some form of licensing, education is seriously missing with the youth of today in all walks of life.
  13. Nothings as disgusting as a herd of Pakis raping young girls, give your head a shake
  14. You need to get out more DD, times have changed I'll grant you that but there's still good lads coming through and IMO there's plenty of exceptional terriers in the country in far greater numbers than ever before.
  15. Nice that Wombe, it'll be nice to see how it changes as it grows
  16. I've had 68 moles in a week off a farm that shows hardly any mole activity, I was depressed while driving the fields to wiegh the job up. I've still got 20 + traps down, so the final tally will be higher. I've never found any accurate way of guessing what's in the ground, all I tell myself if I'm getting lazy is "the traps won't earn anything in the bag" !
  17. I haven't got anything more recent, he's just starting to shape up and loose the puppy fat. He was born on the 21st of March last year and he saw his first fox a few days ago.
  18. 12 years old, with her last pup ! He saw his first fox last week, killed it and drew it from a decent earth. Time will tell if he's got what it takes but it's a good start for now.
  19. I'm all over it FD ? I'm all but finished in the game, it's time to pass on the torch and let someone else have the headache. If we can leave it as good as we found it's not been a waste of time and effort.
  20. I always breed from the best bitch possible, if it was weak in size and bone I either wouldn't breed from it or I'd use a dog that might rectifythe problem. I've just bred out of a good strong bitch, the biggest in her litter, I waited until she was 7 years old because I didn't need to take from her. I bred her dam first but only got one dog pup, I took the plunge and took a litter from the daughter too. The bitches I've seen and the bitch I kept back are small, not tiny but small for this line. The bitch I've got I'm happy with, she's the same stamp and size of her grandam, if she
  21. I can't "like" it Bosun so once again I'll just have to tell you ? I've seen close breeding bring down the size of bitches and conversely take the size of dogs up. I tried talking about it on here once and someone kindly put up a link to a paper on genetics, I no longer have it or I'd put it back up. If you cut out all the waffle and took it to the layman's talk it basically said breed out of your strongest bitches. A bitch always wants to be feminine, so by constantly breeding tight (without picking your strongest bitches) you'll double up on the feminine influence. The same stand
  22. FD that's where it all falls down mate, finding decent lads to gift dogs too, I've got enough stories to write a book !
  23. I've stuck to a line my whole adult life, I've done well enough. I've spoke to a few top spaniel trainers and some follow lines, but the bulk chase the dog or family that's winning at the time. Who's got it right ? I've just used an outcross myself, he's got a few terriers of the same line in at the back of his 5 generation pedigree. I've had my eye on the dog since he was a young entry, he's my type of dog, small and strong. I left it until he was a well proven dog in the ground and a well proven producer before I used him. Would I use a young dog or bitch with jus
  24. I'd broke my back and neck FM, literally, I had two nice young bitches in ready to go and I just thought I'd give them to decent lads and keep a couple of pups back. If for no other reason than to give me a couple of years where I didn't have to do anything serious. I've got faith in the blood, I've seen plenty of shit in litters with good dogs in and ran with the odds.
