  1. That's amazing, bloody lucky dog! How it didn't get infected and go nasty is a mystery.
  2. Are you talking proper line breeding or just dogs we can trace the breeding of?
  3. 177 day state x2 great condition. 1-mag Scope £300
  4. They promise a free vote to repeal the act not amend it. So we wait........to see IF they deliver. But with a majority we have a better chance of successfully repealing the ban. So I am glad they did not try in the last government.
  5. Aye Skycat they love birds alright! Maybe it's the names Sparrow and Hawk lol I knew something was a foot when he was a pup he took this poor chaffinch out the air in front of me, little shite. Then he moved on to partridge out the seat and on the wing and he's been the same ever since.
  6. Some really nice shots FUJI. I would love to wander that land up north one day ;-)
  7. The week after I collected him.He's come along way since this picture Skycat!
  8. That's what it's about for me, that's what impresses me in a dog. Yes it was just a old cock bird but it's the way the dog worked that counts.
  9. The morning exercise is coming to an end on another late winter morning. As we go down the track with thick hedges each side of us we pass a gateway to a small paddock with a gradual incline leading up a small hill. Three feathered heads bob down into the long grass around 100 yards out into the paddock as we pass the gate, and the older of the two dogs goes on point shortly followed by the younger dog. The dogs hadn't seen much on the walk, so I figured it's best to let them have a run and see what comes of it. With the command 'get on' that they are waiting for, they vault the 5 bar
  10. He does well, marks warrens and doesn't stop hunting!
  11. Those table manners are fecking terrible.........
  12. And maybe a little more if I am lucky, I am referring to rats of course :-) Maggie looks a fast thing Phil, It been a while since I had a dog that has take off speed like this. Just the job for down Ere, let's hope he keeps it up!
  13. Here and there matey, mainly flying under the radar :-)
  14. You want a collie x they are easy lol
  15. Long back indeed, longest tale I have seen on a pup too. No slouch that's for sure :-)
  16. Couple of snaps of the young dog. Bulked up a bit and come together nicely now he's matured. 24ish tts a very quick dog. Out with the pack
  17. Clear you inbox you have pm ?
  18. A few night ago the wind was blowing hard and we took the dogs for a spin up the road here for a few rabbits. Now these rabbits were well out on small arable fields. Most fields were on hillsides. You need to catch these rabbits quick before they are at top speed and over the hill and out the beam. The youngster missed a couple but soon 'clicked' that that it was a strike early and catch them quick type of situation. Great to watch lots of tumbling catches, he did well and sure has some speed about him. And I was impressed to see some tidy speedy retrieves considering we had another dog with
  19. Ain't that the truth but I don't think aggression is the right word. A good gwp can be one hell of a dog. My good mates line of dogs has produced some crackers, done well in the field from stalking to falconry and more. Great rough shooting dog and will whack a fox at the blink of an eye. These dogs are true HPR's, they will never beat a Lurcher at doing what lurchers do, but hell they are a very useful animal. Not to be underestimated in my opinion. The smooths are differnt to the wires, the wires tend to be a bit tougher.
  20. Fingers crossed he will. If he carries on the way he's going I will be more than happy.
  21. Thanks for posting up the snaps Phil, I enjoyed the wonder about. Nice easy going day. Really happy the youngster caught a few more, not much seems to get away from him so far. He's fit and in good nick but as many dogmen know its hard to keep that balance right.
