  1. The dog i had out of chuckles in 87. only made 24 . the dog showed a lot of potential was doing well on rabbits day and night and started to knock over hares daytime. had a great nose on him and was a belting retriever. cant say he was tested or how good or bad he would have become. he died just before reaching 2 years of age. real bad quality photo. Looks a cracker darbo not to big either know what you mean about em not having the chance to reach full maturity mate its a sickener everytime it happens.

  5. Good prediction FM bang on the money.
  6. did not need to show boat like that though the lad fought a brave fight but was out classed at every level Totaly agree gte.
  7. Brave show from lindsay in the 2nd fight but the welsh kid selby is one strong fighter.
  8. Hope frampton wins in style. a decent test for him.
  9. thanks for the pic. sounds like you had good memories of the bitch.
  10. football, collecting birds eggs, swiming in canals and dams, messing about on old motor bikes, and sniffing glue.
  11. Was your bitch a litter sister of the dog he kept back for stud chuckles ? had a pup from chuckles back in 1987.
  12. The old saying with mares tails is 1 year seeding 7 years weeding. :whistling:Ive had it on mine for over 20 years never been able to get rid of it. just hoe it off or hand weed when they come through. good luck with the plot.
  13. everywhere is dug over and weed free. just planning what to grow this year. ordering potatoes, onion sets etc.
  14. Put your every effort into training bonding with your pup. Take your time and above all have patience.

    My Mates Kid

    My best regards to your mate and family. my nephew had the same illness. i hope something can be done. atb.
  16. depended on the type of lurcher ie a first cross collie/grey for example hunting up game on.a good coursing type to be tested on big enough fields fair law.
  17. He very promising much like his grandad. Three of the litter very promising, one useless but this lad looks something else over the moon with him a joy to watch.
  18. Good luck with your young pup sounds very promising. that russel dog i saw for quite a number of years was something else type of dog that could find a needle in a haystack so to speak.
  19. Do you reckon the lurcher is a better marking dog Darbo? as just a marking dog very hard to say. my beddy is a good marking dog seen other good terriers mark even mongrels. saw some good collie and beddy lurchers mark and other lurcher types. too difficult a question for me im afraid. if i was pushed to say the best i have personaly seen first class marker mark laid up ferrets on kills a dog that really didnt miss a trick was a russel dog from the late 80s onwards and unfortunatly he didnt belong to me. but this is just from my own experiences.
  20. i use a beddy for ferreting as i cant use a lurcher on the land. good marking dog mainly used in woodland and scrub land a good steady dog but i certainly would not compare him to a good ferreting lurcher.
  21. i revert back to being like a terrified child when i board a plane.
  22. im the same as you nl. i have flew a good number of times but hate it with a passion.
  23. Kes a timeless classic.
