  1. Never get a dog that has more brains than you have.
  2. Books are there mainly for "entertainment". Whilst some have more fiction in than others, I wouldn't knock folk for writing them until Id tried putting one together myself.
  3. You're right about the Huntaways being too noisy for most. Those Idaho shags look like some of the mongrelised farm dogs that can be found here in the uk. They make some handy dogs indeed
  4. They'll cope with being kennelled, but they need to spend more time in the field than they do in the run.
  5. If you value your dog(s), Working dogs on pigs/boar is not the job for the faint hearted. No time for getting your phone out to film it. Get in and make sure you finish the job PDQ.
  6. Best you get your running shoes on then.
  7. Nobody wants an average dog, but in reality its what most people actually need, or are capable of making the most of.
  8. Aye, because changing the law has made a load of difference to how things are done in the world of working dogs.
  9. Question is, was Spud a genuine 1st cross Beddie grey, or was there something else in the mix?
  10. over a greyhound ? that thing would struggle to go over a step.
  11. He wants the coin first and foremost, not the pup. Not knocking the dogs though?
  12. Much of the stock from Jeffs is quite handy from what I've seen. Certainly easy on the eye, if not the pocket. But breeding off a bitch thats only had one full season of work is hardly using proven stock IMO.
  13. cracker of a little chap! Was Troy out of Razor?
  14. that explains why she's an ex!
  15. Like all crosses you get good and bad. What most bull whippets have in abundance is heart and drive. Not dogs for long slips for courses but the ones I've seen all excelled at mugging game and vermin of any kind.
  16. complicated dogs are collie crosses. If you can't decipher those posts, then best you get a saluki.?
  17. Since we've run put of last seasons game carcasses, This fecker is just happy eating his moles?
  18. Asking if a type of dog is any good after you have chosen it is akin to cumin in a bird and then asking if she's on the pill.
  19. A couple of friends stays and turn them out in their paddock for a few hours a day. Theres enough in there to keep them occupied.
  20. Sometimes, If you really have something special, leaving it until 6 years is too late. They often fail to make old bones.
  21. This bitch is bred from some of those farm curs that some people have described. Hardy, sharp and mentally a step away from some of the collies mental down falls.
  22. This was my shadow for a few years.
  23. we do our own stuff like that. We may have crossed paths if you've ever found a rat or two in your mole traps?
