    Watched an interesting documentary last night on the Galloglass of Ireland.... The last resort battalion of men in a battle.... The sas of their day?

    What was that called? I’m interested in the galloglass but don’t see much about them

    I don’t really understand people’s views on the trials they don’t seem dissimilar to what the Europeans are doing with the Jagds artificial earths to a badger under rules you get a certificate now almost everyone says that is rubbish doesn’t count for anything but when it’s the trials it’s the best thing ever is it rose tinted spectacles looking at the past it is one genuinely better than the other again I’m not knocking the trials I’m sure they were a good day out and a test and I would be a them if they were on today but I genuinely can’t see much of a difference

    Would love a dog like that. 'Remember speaking with Glen years ago on the phone (when I first moved here, green and stupid lol) and had it I was gonna get jumping on the backs of pigs with these types ? 

    That boy there is a specimen ;)

    Is it not aloud out there mate?

    Do you think the trials were harder than pig hunting?   Or vice versa. I know nowt of either but find it interesting that dogs failed regular at trials but then the same breed makes awsome pig dogs, would love to know how a dog thought ?

    I don’t know what would be harder for the dog as I haven’t been to the trials my point was it’s different also I’m pretty sure the EBT of today is of a better standard than most I’ve seen at the trials

    back in the day at trials, for every good Bull Terrier or bull terrier mix , there was 20 good or better SBTs,, the majority of good dogs at trials was either Wheatens or SBTs, Bull terriers ware a rarity

    I think that’s a different ball game to be honest mate nothing against the trials but six minutes at a badger and finding catching and holding a 100 kilo pig 3 times in a row is not the same

    As an all rounder heavy saluki coursing bred As all rounder take fox hare deer for fun  they take rabbits aswell but there’s a lot better For bunny’s 

    a half bred sal grey great for rabbit fox hare and deer but they won’t be as good for daytime hares as a Sal lurcher 

    bull x as all rounder good on rabbit fox deer 

    daytime and hare hopeless 

    whippet grey all rounder normally good on rabbit hare fox deer lack bit stamina 

    not great in the day for hare but with still ball a few over 

    All crosses defo not all rounders 

    That’s that sorted then

    You get them from over sea's or a breeder over here or your self. It's okay if you've got your own stock or know of someone over here but that's the risk we take buying eggs from over seas. The wife wanted to buy a few parrot eggs. Says I've seen some 50 quid a says don't talk stupid there f***ing duck eggs ??. Nobody sell's parrot eggs ffs and if it was someone you knew they'd want 200 quid an egg lol

    Got them from a breeder over here from Manchester he’s on Facebook seemed to be quite a well known game farm could have been the transport or could have been my fault with the incubator

    Yes I understand that it could well be our fault it’s a brand new incubator it’s a self turning one we followed the instructions with the temperature and humidity it’s in a room inside so the outside temperature didn’t change much not sure what else we could have done really

    Well we had 26 eggs in the incubator 3 hatched on day 19 one had bad feet we are on day 25 and nothing else happened a bit gutted to be honest not sure if it was bad eggs or our fault with the incubator going to see if there is anything in the eggs tomorrow

    I got a nephew he’s 30 married 2 kids so not a child but he wants to get in to game birds I’ve only got a few laying hens now but he’s asked me if it’s worth having some eggs sent over I’ve never done it so I don’t know just wondering if anyone had any experience of this and if it is worth it any advice would be appreciated thanks
