  1. get a beddy or border from parents used for bushing not digging
  2. dogs for jobs mate, wheatons won't do it as well as a purpose bred bushing type. plus they are headstrong and very fiery, could pose problems with stock and when working with other dogs
  3. i think some went to the north 30+yrs ago met a man that started with that gear when we visited last year
  4. i'm sure they left 'normal people' alone - but individuals at the bottom of their food chain didn't, the street corner dealer, the twoccer, the pimp - they can't operate on peoples turf without permission
  5. what i liked about hagler hearns was that it lived up to the hype, plenty of good fights but the build up had gone on for months and they were both at their peak, and were never quite the same again
  6. it's easy to divorce the men at the top from the reality of it. they live in big houses, dress nicely, have pretty wives and posh cars. but it's a pyramid system and the crime proceeds from the bottom filters up to the top. so their lifestyle is directly funded by drugs, prostitution, trafficking, car theft, burglaries, insurance scams, protection rackets, cash machine fraud,......i could go on. you get my drift?
  7. my wife saw pics of them and reckons theres someone with a couple of pure picardies in west wales where i live? small world. doesn't seem theres many about in uk.
  8. so they sound like they would be ideal daytime? finding, running and catching their own game.?
  9. pulled that stunt, got police involved, one of the hunt followers had unliscend firearms at his house and is doing time in his mid sixties nothing came of the incident on film, unsurprisngly
  10. just checked and sanchez was actually younger than nelson! but more experienced when they fought its on you tube, real battle, worth watching.
  11. Gnasher, you know your boxing. How did you rate Salvador Sanchez, I know he beat Nelson, but was a hell of a fight? And Nelson was an unknown youngster Do you think Nelson would have avenged this defeat had Sanchez been around??
  12. are there actually working picardie's? i.e is the stud dog a grafter in the UK, if so is farm work?protection work?
  13. when do they finish now mate? and did they stop the Easter meets due to amount of walkers and visitors to the fells at that time of year?
  14. yours ideal for little overgrown orchards and gorse patches you do mate, but we got some massive forestry blocks and deep valleys, so thanks but no thanks, no offence.
  15. I was hoping a pic of Pepper would come up, 'the' best bitch I've seen run for a good few years, her owner is a lucky bloke indeed.... she wheatenX Bosun? No mate, she's simply a little drop of a few breeds to give her height, power, brains, courage and a little something that I can't put my finger on, because she's the most agile 'bigger' mutt i've seen run. No Wheaten in there. She makes me wince almost every night out, with her almost suicidal tendencies but always 'brings home the bacon'. On her best form she really is top notch. I know whats in her, as does her owner Tim but I'd bet

  17. i should hope so, you'd be worried if it was the other way round!
  18. Cheers bud he's deer grey x saluki bull grey he is a great rabbit dog ferreting and lamping . and yeah he can take big rabbits to a decent standard not as well as my other dogs but I'm sure pre ban he'd have been top notch on fox he looks a real nice animal, fit and well kept
  19. the dam of my 3/8 was a quarter wheaten and was told all litter worked single handed to decent standard on all fast quarry. ones i have seen look a tad too racy & classt for my liking didnt mean wheatens lack brain, just that you wouldn't add wheaten if all you needed was a bit more sense, not in collie league are they.
  20. i wouldn't say you add wheaten blood for brain mate fire, toughness, nose, feet, coat are the good bits. hard headed, stubborn & grumpy are the bad. also tendency to overheat and lack wind of other crosses. still love 'em though
  21. breed aside - i think scenting conditions vary and some days you need all the nose you can get, don't doubt that some bull bred lurchers are great hunters
