And old friend.old man he's passed on now.used to do alot with apbt around the country.I'm not exercising my dogs any were near the condition that his dogs were in.feck a little trot on the bike they are having mun lol. again I'm not talking about you I'm generalising. SO STOP BEEN PARANOID. Ha ha only kidding?

or if you have time to cycle for 2 hours then just bring a spade and dig the dog instead it will be more beneficial sparring than using the punch bag ?

Some lads think that training them like a pitbull in a keep is going to benifit a terrier but it can be over done to the point of exhaustion. A Bull terrier is built up and trained to peak on a certain day and after that it goes backwards. An average to good standard of fitness ( not a fat dog) will be enough for a terrier to start with, then work will put him in the condition he needs to be in and after hard work a dog could lose a few pounds of condition and need good food and rest to regain that condition not a marathon run that will slow down recovery. If the dog has a good back on him but

You don't have to believe a word I say jiggy.But I've never been 1 for lying. I threw a well paid job in 3yrs 3 weeks ago. Due to the wife struggling with our 2 disabled kids. So I've got plenty of time for the dogs in the daytime or night. One day I will have to go back to work. And I will be wishing I wasn't working. 8 to 10 miles a day I was walking the dogs they were free running when I was living in Wales up the mountain over heather ground forestry etc. Every single day no matter the weather. On very rainy days I would stick to the forestry roads for a little shelter. And wish

While I knew there is probably a small few who do Id like to put a lie detector test on 90% of these lads that say they genuinely give there dogs 6 mile a day on bike 7 days a week. It sounds good on a computer screen though.what about these 70 and year old legendary terriermen with 30 dogs on there yard they must be wore out going for a dig after doing 180 miles on the bike and the dogs are still world beaters

If pine martins were took off the protected list then squirrel populations would recover. Since the ban on setting poison came in a decade ago they have become a serious problem and will destroy the song bird populations and will take all birds off there roosts at night time. I seen one at night time walking across a branch after 4 or 5 thrushes roosting and they were walking sideways away from it but hadn't the brains to fly away in the dark. I've also seen them several times caught in Larsen traps trying to kill the decoy bird. Dozens of neighbours have lost fowl to them aswell and they are

I'm sure I've read or seen that on tv before jiggy about the thinner branch's.Have you seen many pine Martins about mate. countrys full of them when out bushing for foxes in woods or on bogland we would rise more of them than foxes and they can move very fast ahead of dogs through cover and are 10 times more likely to run into a crack in the bog banks where terriers wouldn't get than to run up a tree. A very odd time the terriers would catch up with them and you have to tell the dog a firm no because they are protected.

Reds only around here in this part of Ireland and the antis reckon that Pine Martins will kill greys but not reds which I find hard to believe unless the red can get out on the lighter branches to safety or can travel quicker. I remember seeing greys when a young lad but not in years and the reds are still about. Only 15 or 20 miles away in seperate woods it seems to be all greys so they must not cross open ground that easily and stick to there own woods.

We had them at fisheries in Cheshire which is 40km from the sea The lads into fishing would ask the lads duck shooting the rivers to blast them if they seen them but they were very clever birds and new the range of a shotgun I don't remember anyone ever shooting one except one idiot who claimed he shot one flying in the air freehand at 300 yards with a .22 (he was good at bullsh1t stories) but they are certainly more popular on the bigger lakes within 20 miles of the sea. Would they be any worse than an otter.many years ago there was a story in the anglers mail and on the front cover was a pi

The problem with robots is problem solving if something goes wrong the system fails. If the bales of bricks are different lengths or heights and not consistant everything will end up in a big shit heap. A good bricky will shout a few fcuks scratch his arse smoke a fag and then whip out the con saw or change his mortar bed depths to allow for this which you can't do with adhesive. Anyway you wouldn't get a wheelbarrow down most sites with scaffolding everywhere let alone that monstrosity and if it's a wet day how will you get it in through the pub door for a few beers after all the bricks it's

If there is no fish surely they will move off. It could be the sign of healthy stocks to see them. It was 20 year ago I used to see them around our way on the rivers and fishing was good then. Don't see them anymore now and fishing is shit because for whatever reason either dumped by someone using them as bait or a bitter person or by making it by flooding to the river system Dace that were non existent in the river 10 year ago have now taking it over and are desecrating the trouts food supply. Pity a few cormorants wouldn't come and wipe them out but they are here to stay.

Some say batches of vaccines dont actually work against the disease and are a waste of time and could cause the dog to actually contract it or that it's common to have reactions to it. A little bit of info on it would be good. A few vets would say it's easily treatable if discovered early so the vaccine could be harder on the dog than the cure. I don't know much about it either way and have no opinion on it but would like to hear a bit about it from someone who did.

If they don't fly away then they don't fly back. Seen them 60 mile inland but not common. Seen an interesting program before with some foreign lads with fully trained ones diving off the boat and bringing back big fish for small treat. Anybody able to put up a link it's probably on utube

didnt Tom crean carry a man on his back that collapsed for 11 odd miles through snow and blizzards on one of the expeditions. I thought I read that somewhere maybe I have it wrong. One hardy skin of a man either ways was the book written about him called the unsung hero , I read extracts of it a very good read.

The spikey ends on steel mesh in concrete will rip the best of boots and trousers you might not get a days wear out of them so cheap and cheerful for that job buy a good pair of insoles and £15 pound pair of wellies.

It all depends on if it's an innocent or guilty person been tortured even though some deserved it.A lot of innocent men were put on death row in the USA by overzealous judiciary

Got mine from eBay, decent bit of kit once properly sharpenedwhy would you sharpen a stethoscope lol.
-
the steposcope is n no way to replace the ortovox D1 around the the terriers neck,it works best in roots or rocke soils,don't buy cheapest , around 20 dollars will get u a good sentative steposcope will help u hear them talking to.each otherexactly obviously you would have locator on dog but it would be nice to hear what they are whispering in the games ear when your waiting on them too settle.?

I couldnt care less i want to watch him play football i dont want to be his friend.....do you ?Are you serious.Why the feck would I want to be friends with someone like that. Maybe I'm old fashioned in my views. But I can't see past a persons achievements for the real person they are. I don't talk to family members for doing similar stuff. Morals mean the world to me 100% concerning family and friends. People seem to turn a blind eye to low life's. Because they are sportsmen. What a sad world we live in Ey youll find that plenty of your other heroes ,friends and family have done similar
