  1. Who's first season pup failed? You sir are not well. What time zone do you work in? Bedtime sounds good. Sorry lads back to topic. ?
  2. Correct Glynn, yet in moderation with a trained eye makes a big difference, as you know.
  3. Na mate, just leave it. This could be a good thread. Comparing hounds and stuff, you are well off the mark. Behave yourself ?
  4. Wrong thread mate, there's a bushing dog section ?
  5. Was in the same predicament myself MG a few seasons back with a dog that I still have to this day. Big sandy place dog had the run around for first half hour then was working away in a spot, we left him over 20mins and went to him, nothing much gets by this dog but before we got in that day everything shifted. He searched the place for easy 45mins, showed, turned back in on his own accord and searched again. He couldn't come onto it again. That and one other time, was the only time that dog has let me down. He's the guts of 9 yr old now so I've no worries about him not doing his job, it's part
  6. Speaking of getting pups that were bred and handed back, my mate had a border/patt x staff/patt bitch about 9yrs ago, she came up from Cork, handy wee bitch. He asked me could he put my Lakeland over her. So she'd 5 pups. I took a dog and a bitch, both never made the grade. He gave his grandad one his sister one and his mate one. His mates one got out of the yard never to be seen again. His granddad still has his. His sisters one she called Marley, because I remember the film "Marley and me" was out at the time. She handed him back to us at 8 months old because he'd the furniture ru
  7. They all work on the same frequency mate, not sure about the range but it would be more than you'd want to be digging.
  8. Getting plenty of work for them SS and going rightly for you's. Good to see man. Nice seeing the younger ones out and enjoying it. I had my eldest fella out, great day we had but his PlayStation had aldready won that war.
  9. What i mean is if you classify a pitbull as a terrier, yet they are limited to what earthwork they do which is little to none. Bedlingtons on the other hand have been used for earthwork for a long time so why would you have to question whether they are a terrier or not.
  10. Or you could be like stopend. He goes out for a shot and see's a fox in a field and is able to direct that fox into a burrow close by with a no.6 or likewise. The kind of sorcery even Harry Potter couldn't pull off!
  11. Is that the collar that goes with the space invaders orange and black box that Deben brought out, flimsy wee collar and all that? Must be loads of them on Gumtree or maybe even pick them up in the odd charity shop. The simple reason being I wouldn't put one on a decent hob ferret because they're complete shite and a step back from Deben rather than a step forward. Until the day Deben sorts the mess out and brings out a 2018 type knocker box upgraded version, which folk possibly might completely lose their shit over. I can't see the B&F and likewise devices being bettered.
  12. How any man could own and work away with a stolen dog is beyond me. Pleading ignorance isn't an excuse if someone has a dog they can't tell you how it's bred or where it came from unless they're good at telling lies. They'd need to have a long look at themselves.
  13. Few years back but did this fella ever get any of his dogs back? Bad carry on that, someone stealing another mans dogs is one thing but these stolen dogs don't vanish into thin air! They go somewhere and someone or people have them and they're just as bad as the thief in my eyes. There was a dog stolen from a friend of mine a long time ago now but we got the dog back lucky enough, best thing about it was his friend was the one had the dog taken. Too many scumbags about any wonder most men move in small circles.
  14. Bang on maxi? There's run of the mill places everyone knows in areas. I don't know where you're from yet there's lots of lads hunt in my area. Very few terrier men, but they try there best and think they are the best. That's the problem.. They run the places they've been shown by others that suits them. They even run the places off the beaten track that are, off that track, been found that where virgin and you'd got a first dig too and thought it was all sacred! Then you go back 8/10 wks later and it's been dug and the other spot maybe 5mile away the same! You smell a rat straight away, but y
  15. Debo takes it. AT is only bluffing. If you fell into shite you'd come out smelling like roses ye bollicks.
  16. My aul Digger dog was no world beater Neil, yet I never laid anyone to think any different. He put more work on the bank in a season than some men's so called world beaters would do in half a dozen seasons! Quality or quantity? I had a black bitch at time that was impressive in any mans eyes, you let her drop in and she sorted it out. I'd never thought about putting my Lakeland over her. Pity I didn't by being stubborn and true to type. Lakeland wise, there wasn't any bitches good enough that where consistent enough to be bred from to compare. There was no bitches that I could
  17. Suppose I'll have to put me own up then lol
  18. Hope you didn't cut me outta that photo ye bollicks ya ?
  19. Nothing really, I used the new one for half a dozen digs smasher a few times my mate said it was off, but we always got the dog then one time we came in on the side and he made sure to say to me again about it, so that was my mind made up lol I swapped it for a red brick and that was that. Then he'd the cheek to say to me where's your other box I liked it lol
  20. Had the original pieps box never failed was always spot on, got the newer pieps sport and didn't like it the same. Gave my mate my old pieps, he still uses it and varies it with his Barryvox pulse whatever he grabs out at a stop. There's very little between the two though I would say the Barryvox has the edge, only to me it's annoying and I don't like using it as I'm usually not open to change. Another mate had the red brick and hated it, sold it straight away. I got myself a red brick to try out and have used it every time, so far I find it spot on. Atb
  21. Great news mate hope he continues to go well for yous, nice to hear he's getting results ?
