  1. The only thing I'd say about the set up above is the terriers would be at each other all day.I'd want a solid section down to the ground to stop them winding each other up and to stop legs getting pulled off.
  2. I used a log burner in my old set up, feckin she'd burned down around the dogs ! If it wasn't for the old chap next door I'd have nothing. When I do finally move house I'll have the professional resin floors in and take it all the way up the wall to. I used to use rust-oleum 5500, it's stupid expensive but good tack.
  3. I've got the flat cap, I might as well turn to pigeons to. Jesus if you ever see a pigeon in my yard tap my door and slap me
  4. Pissing about with reducing the size of my pictures
  5. Nope, some believe so but I'm not one of them. There's a difference between hard and drive, I want a terrier that's full of drive and does just enough to get the job done, tick away all day until you put the daylight in then they can take hold. It's a fine line mate, it's up to each and everyone of us to make their own decisions and go with their own consionse.
  6. Neil I can't send you a message mate, empty your mailbox
  7. I've bred off iron hard, I still get iron hard mute loons but I don't want them. I admire the raw courage but I don't like to see my terriers getting hurt, plenty of lads walk around with heavily scared dogs but I cringe when I see them and I certainly don't like having them in my yard. I used to take the piss out of old Nicolas but as I've got older I'm getting just the same, I used to call him Beatrix. People seem to have lost the concept of terriers WORKING their quarry instead of going balls out for the kill.
  8. I'd like to add that the chocolate bitch was bred by Paul Reece, he was asked to use a certain dog of DF's and bred the litter accordingly I'm sure Paul lost his bitch out of the litter and I've no idea where any of the others went, NS didn't like you to know to much. That little bitch was piss poor in it's first season, she'd of been PTS by many a good terrier man but at the time I had nothing to prove as I'd packed up and come away from it all. She was given all the Chances in the world because I was just taking her every now and again for curiosity, on her second season she started to put
  9. Vote right I'm looking at houses out there, it's no good jumping out of the frying pan and in to the fire.
  10. I think people like me and yourself (blowing smoke up my own arse) take it all to serious, I've beat myself up for years and lost a lifetime of sleep over "nothing". If I had no choice I'd use the best dog I had, I don't look for spite for want of a better word, I look for drive. Hardness is something to be admired but I'd sooner admire it from a far lol. I want a dog that will give his or her all, a dog that will push harder and stay longer even if it means his or her end, I'd also like them to do all that while having a brain in their head and to be calm cool and collected. Granted it's a
  11. I wouldn't breed out of a half hearted bitch full stop, if I had no options I still wouldn't. I'd ask around and go and get a pup that's off similar stuff that's still got the work ethic. In the same token I wouldn't use a mediocre dog over anything, I'm long in the tooth (literally) and would ask like minded people for a stud or pup. I don't breed enough pups to have had any impact on any breeding, I'm just ticking along mate, I'm after no medals.
  12. The dig was to my old black bitch mate, they've both done a ton of graft and both are as steady as rocks. The RSPCA had the chocolate bitch for ten weeks a couple of years ago, I felt like I'd had my guts taken out. I think both arguments hold water, it's just a personal thing. The way I see it is a bitch is physically weaker than a dog 90% of the time in much the same way men and women are. So if you go forward with bitches that hold their own or work harder (not hard) then your on to a winner. I don't have all the answers, I've only had the one lifetime. If it goes right, "crow from the r
  13. I've spent all day looking for a clever genetic come back and in truth I'm none the wiser. I've always bred to the bitch and always will do, it's my opinion and I'll stick with it. There's some top dogs out there and I've owned a few but they only give as much as a bitch. As for Nick, I always thought the same, he maybe left things a little to late or a few mating didn't turn out the way he thought. I'm still digging a few bitches from his baying dogs though and everything here comes through them. That bitch is 11 years old and she's still as giddy as a pup, just try and tell her she can't
  14. FD that's a very short sighted view, for me it's the bitch that's everything, without them your on a slippery slope. Granted dogs are by their very nature more masculine but if your bitches aren't right then why breed from them. The bitch is the yard stick of any man's yard, if your bitches are working as hard and as good as your dogs your getting it right. I'm just a good old fashioned feminist
  15. There's no accounting for folks, I've been at it for years and I'm still none the wiser where people come into it.
  16. Coming up to ten month old, still very immature, physically ready but they're still pups
  17. Yes mate, getting a bit big but good solid pups
  18. Not a very clear picture as my phone was on it's way out
  19. Funnily enough FD Andy Kelly, I had a few a couple of weeks ago. If not get some para cord and just re do your others
