    Now Im getting worried!

    my 3/4 bull bitch looks like a half cross so i will hopefully breed her to a half cross type and pick the 1/2 cross type from the litter. Its type we are after isnt it? Its ability we should be after... only constant work in the field over several seasons will judge if the dog is the right 'type' for you... I think we are on cross threads. Of course the dog has to perform and we breed from performers but we make type choices which have shown to be suited to us.

    Sounds a nightmare. Dogs should evolve for purpose not fashion.

    I think good ones that have been selected for performance and bred close continue to be bred according to "The pibull garden" book and are a diffrent job altogether,also being bred for performance only they loose the roman nose.

    Over the last 30 years Ive had several bull breeds,and found them all to be reasonably intelligent(particularly staffies)never owned an EBT but a few of my mates have,Ive got to say they were the stupidest animals I have come across,not saying they are all thick but the three I spent a lot of time around were,put me off ever having one.... Well you have said what ive been told by others. Its strange really because has you say the staffies and others are anything but idiots.They seem to not only learn quick but work things out for themselves.

    When working hard in season...Ferramo..cod liver oil every other day because it can clog the liver and tie up protein. Fed with meat stews all year round and a sprinkle of Aussie formula. Also breakfast in winter...goats milk/bicuit egg.

    Ive got a 3/4 Bull 1/4 Greyhound bitch I bought off here. Shes not heavy and should have no problems catching rabbit etc. Shes only young but just never runs out of gas.Should make a good lamping/ferreting and genral mooching dog,and game.

    You call this a debate? You edit most of your posts,so even you must feel silly re-reading them.

    I thought the English were head strong and far less intelligent than the stafford/pit dogs. Ive read Hinks leaned more toward the show ring and pet than actual work. I know some were good in the trials and the famous Psyco had Ebt in his blood,but Im not sure how useful they would be in the pure form to a Hunting man. When the Ingles thing was going strong and those dogs were seen here and there I tried but failed to get a straight answer regarding working qualities. One thing you cant deny is they certainly got the conformation better.

    There's an online shooting diary now btw: http://shootingdiary.co.uk/ You're right with the antis, they only see it one way and you'll never please them. But the fact is that shooting in most cases is a by product of pest control or conservation and it only inflames the situation when people in a minority such as Jeemes come along and declare they shoot only for the sake of killing stuff as it only reinforces the bloodthirsty cruel b*****d image and causes he benefits of shooting to get lost behind the bloody thirsty image, and that image does nothing but feed propaganda for a ban.

    the question was to Alsone but of course the bird is stone dead.Otherwise it wouldnt of given me sheer pleasure. It is a hypathetical question. The Pheasant has done its job that it was brought into the world for by flying high and fast having been artificially put to flight in the direction of the waiting guns. The sportsman has achieved all he dreams about shooting a high fast bird dead in the air,and he has watched it come down to earth dead. Every part of its life upto that point has been artificially managed. Its probably cost around £25 to kill that bird or there abouts. My question is.

    What about shooting for the sheer pleasure of seeing a high bird come down to my shot and who cares if it gets eaten or just left in the grass for Charlie to find? Is that wrong. Should I give up shooting?

    KILLING. IS KILLING. dont be so nieve as to think you can hide behind a few words. like shooter/ stalker/ . as far as your average anti is concerned.. everyone that kills animals in whatever way by whatever method FOR WHATEVER REASON. is fair game. get real. But there is a difference between killing for the sake of it and killing for conservation of the natural balance or the table. What do you think about driven shooting and rearing of game birds. How does that fit in?

    theres hot dogs,then theres Otter dogs

    Im confused. Are you agreeing that animals should only be killed when neccesary and not for sport or are you lying to please the antis. Or have you forgotten where you are yourself. You are already in a bad light as far as the antis are concerned. Are you saying a Fox doesnt deserve a sporting chance?
  21. jeemes
    please explain what you mean.

    Watched 2 cubs 40yds apart tonight just mousing or learning to mouse.I had a .17hmr next to me. No temptation though. It was nice to watch them. Hope to see them again a bit later in the year in an earh perhaps or on the stubble in the beam when Ive got one of my lads pulling on the slip and Charlie will have a chance. Ive no right to preach to anyone about shooting Foxes, but I do object to calling it sport. I only consider it sport when the quarry knows its in danger and has a chance to avoid it or defend itself.

    spot on mate. Its vulpicide. ive got rifles but i would never assassinate a Fox. Ive seen blokes swelling with pride because theyve just murdered 2 or 3 cubs after sileage has been cut.
