  2. Pure bred working line German Shepherd bitch pup Zara. Had a GS dog before, he came out mooching all time but was primarily a guard dog. Zara got same job description, family guard and protector but available on mooching days to jump in.
  3. No sympathy......Alpacas would do the same to us if they could!
  4. Loving this book. Not finished it yet but big thing jumping out so far is how quickly and permanently the show fraternity ruined working breeds.

  13. Good mooch locally today. Just Floyd n Cú out. Floyd worked well all day flushed plenty of game birds, big ears and cotton tails. Good trailing long loops on puss and good work in briars at bunnies. Got got marks at rats. One bolted and he caught him in the briars, one mark 3 bolted and gave us the slip and last mark we killed 2 big fat rats. Was chuffed with last mark, in a muck hill with lots of tubes and very loose clay, as you digging clay just falls in covering tubes and making it to mark rats. Floyd stuck at it, kept scratching and searching and finally found two big rats in a tube that
