    You fancy commenting on my last post Stopend? You've read it and you know it was you that was the representative that night. I never did tell them lads that you back stabbed them after the meeting but they'll read it on here anyway. That should be enough fact to keep you simmering over. Edited to add as for bloodlines given to start men out x amount of years ago that's another story. Pity you weren't gifted the same maybe you wouldn't be so bitter. Any of that I've seen and have some blood in my yard isn't lacking in anyway.

    Sorry for your loss, I've had 2 family members commit suicide also a couple mates and countless people I knew or grew up with. My town is rife with it unfortunately. Something must just click inside the mind and they believe there's no other way out. Leaves more hurt and sorrow behind mind you that never goes away. Had a mate try it a few times and it was no call for help he genuinely wanted out. His mother caught him twice and he ended up in a Physiatric ward in the near by hospital. They caught him 3 times in 2 days until he finally got what he wanted, he was beyond any help, mentally his h

    Good thread lads and long may it continue, I know nothing about these dogs but they look nice types and don't seem shy for work.

    Cheers Chesney, I only done the blockwork on the days I wasn't working, he done the rest himself. Still has a bit of plastering to do and lights and a walkway around. Then when it's finished we'll christen the shed with a few beer some night and get the stove lite.

    I built these for my mate a few weeks ago. Still a few finishing touches to do but nearly there.

    The only time i have a terrier on a leash is to and from hunting ground,then they are released,often 3 or more.Do accidents happen? certainly,do i walk past quarry that a leashed terrier misses?,possibly not.Ive lost more terriers that saw work from the restrictions of a leash than i have that where less restricted.I like to know the lie of the land and hunt accordingly and often source a factor that was not present the times ive hunted it before.Every time a terrier is taken out there is a probability it will not come home,leashed or free and we have to take that into the equation and accept

    You can't win them all, sometimes yes a dog can have an off day but that'll stick in your head a lot longer than the good days and work the same dog has put in for you over a period of time. The fact of the matter is you'll never look at the dog the same way you did previously so, its entirely up to each individual what the next course of action would be if any. I'm sure most have seen it happen if they're honest. As for pups from said animal it's the same scenario, entirely up to the individual. Just bear in mind there's a lot of dishonest individuals in the game and they'd swear blind sires

    I'd a black bitch in the 90s that was only 10 months old she'd never seen anything. I was out walking her on land I thought I knew well, she put a fox out of a double ditch and chased it over a hill. I found her nearly an hour later in a 3 eyed place deep in undergrowth that I didn't know was there before. Only found it because it was in the direction she'd ran and I could hear her from where I was walking past from one of the entrances. I rang my mate at the time and he was on his way home from work on the motorway it took him another hour to get home get tools and get to me, all while I stoo

    Lead walking on all land you mean, you only think you know places well until you have a terrier running loose one day and it disappears only for you to find its working away underground somewhere you've walked past 100 times. It only takes the one time to be caught out. The only time I've a terrier of the lead is with a collar on it

    You'll learn quickly having 3 terriers running loose at one time around the countryside, even with tools and a locator you'd be going well to sort that out if they'd happen to drop in somewhere.

    Not my cup of tea, I've not kept lurchers for over a decade. I've seen good and bad in all types of working dogs, the same as the majority of lads that do enough to know the difference. I know there is some good decent lines lads do keep but it's like everything else. Most bull x's I've seen, some bred from the best, they are game but stupid and most can't despatch a fox single handed the way it should be done. Choking a fox to death by "necking" it will only get you so far until the dog gets the right one that won't let the dog have its way and then you see the sword fencer within. Or catchi

    Had my previous account deactivated and couldn't get back onto it. I'd just finished the book and I watched the film and that's why I picked the name, plus a good friend of mine was a personal associate of Cahill.

    Just had a descussion with a fella I know about hard ends. He asked me what I thought and I told him that to me it's a stupid idea and it proves absolutely nothing at all and he's a moron if he does it. Don't think it went down to well. There's far better ways to run a young dog on in my eyes and they learn more than they would if they were given hard ends. I don't actually see the point in it. What's your views ?

    The dog must have been passed about a bit because another man owned him as well.
