Cheers lads Jonesy, I haven't got pics of the sire I'm afraid. I got a lad I know with a nice Russell to let me line her when I visited By the way, no offence taken with you asking; she's almost four years old now. I was umming and ahhing about leaving her another season to get some good digging in before I bred her, but the vet reckoned 5 years old was pushing my luck for a first litter. At any rate, I figured since despite the fact she's out of 100% digging dogs herself, I haven't really got her for digging anyway, so it doesn't really matter does it?

Thanks again folks Oh and Maltenby, you're right. The bitch was bred by a guy called Heinien (spelling?!) in Welshpool. Apparently he has a couple of working Sealyhams going back donkeys years, and works them hard to ground. There certainly aren't many left though, capable of working at least. These are out of the right stuff either way, and my bitch has done well in what she's done so far so I have every expectation of the pups. Time will tell.

Cheers lads

When she starts doing them mate let me know, I reckon me and a couple of lads from work could give it a bloody good go at the one on the picture too what ya reckon? Will do mate And yeah, I reckon I'd put a good dent in the one in the pic, but you? I think you'd take second helpings... after you've done your usual trick of "Ooh, can I swap the tomatoes for tinned ones, and have less hash browns and more black pudding? And can I have more mushies and more black pudding? Oh and did I ask for more black pudding?"

Cheers Rich - you'd have been more than welcome to one at that Shame you moved really

Hi guys, I was in two minds as to whether bother posting this or not, tbh. Everyone 'knows' that as soon as you have a litter out of your best/favourite bitch (never mind that it's the only litter you've bred, ever, and you did it to keep pups back!) you're a dog dealer and a scumbag :kiss: But I'm so proud of how these little sods are turning out I couldn't contain my pee any longer lol Here's Gypsy's litter of six at 3 weeks, 1 day old At least half are reserved already and I'm keeping one too. If (IF) there's one left at the end I'll ask on here but I doubt it They're star

Agreed

That's what I thought There was a day I'd have demolished that and asked for seconds, no probs at all. Now I wouldn't even manage the toast lol My mother in law owns a cafe, I'll have to show her this... Toned down to the "big five" with five of everything, a full tin of Branston beans, nice yolky eggs and a good slab of butter on it?... I'd do it! I can just envisage mopping up the last of the yolk and bean juice with the black pudding and whacking it down with well done toast... ahh... You can't beat a fry-up for breaky, which is handy since I get one every morning at the cafe now

Yes mate, but mine doesn't. But that aside, the only reason I used that particular pic is because it's the only one on their website They do bars too, but I preferred mesh; I just put a roof on it myself to be safe. Sorted. I paid £520 for a 6' x 6' x 6' mesh run, inc vat and delivery. They're very nice quality indeed

Fair play csme, but I still think you're a little extreme in your generalisation when you take it upon yourself to inform the other six billion of us that there's 100% definitely nothing after death, "FACT" just because I'd like to see a little more evidence and reasoning either way, than the fact you simply can't comprehend it, before I make up my mind...

Holy hell... I bet the bulldog wasn't the only thing spewing its ring after witnessing that little lot :sick:

No mate. Do you?

Talking of science meets religion, did anyone read the study which was reviewed in New Scientist at the end of last year? Basically new evidence/hypotheses suggests that the physical universe is actually a 'bubble', and the 'REAL' life is happening on the OUTSIDE, and NOT on the inside where we are. Apparently when the objects on the 'film' surrounding our 'bubble' carry out actions, the 'mirror image' objects (i.e. us and all physical matter) inside our bubble (universe) then follow suit. In other words, we're a mere time-delayed reflection of an externally manipulated series of physical ev

csme, you say it's all about the science. They also say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! For example, quantum physics will tell you that Buddhist cosmology, written 2500 years ago, was actually correct right down to the quantum level. We, and everything around us, are not actual solid physical matter, but photons of non-solid light and other 'etheric' matter. Only the relatively (subjectively) experienced opposing magnetic fields around atoms and molecules give the appearance (illusion) of solidarity as some fields attract and others repel. This is what happens if you try to hit

haha Speak for yourself Stabs ye dirty fecker! I wouldn't have half minded, but the bloody thing had the longest coat I've ever seen on a lurcher... not something I want to ever wake up to again! :sick:

True that mate, very true indeed. I remember reading once (God only knows where) that man and dog have evolved together for so long now, you can't really call one complete without the other. Man relies on dog for all his hunting/herding/guarding needs, and dog needs man (albeit much less) for safety, comfort and sustenance. When you take one away from the other, inevitably you're left with a mere half of a being. It was written more eloquently at the time, but it sounds about right to me. They might cause us a real **** storm at times, but could you really imagine living without them? I

LOL Glad to see you're still alive mate You know what to do now, don't you? Don't mention it again, act cheery, casually announce you're all going out for tea and make sure there's a bigger, better pool awaiting the kids tomorrow. Say no more, cross your fingers, and you may just come out of this in one piece... eventually...

ha ha thats what i would do Me three Been there, done that. Unfortunately until now I never had the fortitude (or is that aptitude?) to lie about it. Take for example the time my old Bull (22" 60lbs) ate half of an armchair, belonging to a £2,500 hand-made Italian leather suite? That one got us in the **** for weeks. Or the time I took on an adult Saluki bred coursing bitch who'd lived in a stable, alone, all her life? I didn't have kennels at the time, and next morning she'd done a diarrhoea all over the kitchen worktop, and rolled/rubbed/walked it up the walls, cupboards, s

How did you pay this member? If it was PayPal just open a dispute and get your cash back

I know where you're coming from mate. I'm 27 next month and suffer kidney disease, ME, fibromyalgia, asthma, weak joints, you name it lol I went through a spell where I could barely get out of bed or stand up for more than a few seconds, never mind go hunting or work the dogs. Luckily I'm picking up a bit now, but I'll never be right. As was said above, a good mate who's willing to help out is worth their weight, even if you do feel like you're taking the pee when you can't pull your fair share of the weight. (cheers Gnipper )... I find that helping 'repay' them in other ways eases m

Another decent sounding offer on the surface of it
-
Nobody's knocking that mate, just saying since he's so good I wouldn't sell him just because next door's dog doesn't get on with him. One of the mesh runs I linked to a few posts up would do the job 100% and that way you don't have to sell such a good dog. It's not like they're easy to find, so why part with it if you don't need to?

Been there, done that. Ever seen a 40lb American Bulldog puppy wrapped in a blanket, wearing a bonnet and carried upside down newborn-baby style? Or a working terrier pup carried everywhere inside a jacket and called "cutey-kins"? Let them have their fun lads; once they're five or six months old and ragging feck out of everything and wanting out, the birds soon get bored of them. That's when you take over. Consider it excellent socialisation, which it is, and can only help produce a well rounded pup if not taken to extremes (i.e. snappy lap dog). The natural order of things goes

No worries John, as I said I know SS/A offered first but if he can't do it I'm more than happy to. I'm only 15 minutes down the bypass from you in Southport. As you say it's about the dog, and I do like the bullies - mine's knocking on for 11 now and if he was in a similar spot I'd hope someone would do the same for him, so...

Sounds like a dog you don't want to lose mate, he's only just starting but it's a promising start at that. I just bought one of these, I can highly recommend them
