    OK, but its head's very small, horns are a bit girly, not marked up. Does it take teeth or just chew? Has tough skin but what about wind? Methane?

    Thanks roosika,where can I get hold of replacement tubes?
  3. jukel123
    Just ordered a mark 3 from Gamekeeper John and some ammo . How long will the tubes last for? For ever? Or do they were out? Is there any advantage of tubes over bands? Is it difficult to change tubes or bands? Sounds daft, but what's the best way to practise accuracy?

    Sorry if it's been covered before but a friend of mine called a dog a jacker when in my view it had run its heart out and, in my view retired honourably. Hence the argument. It wasn't my dog by the way for all you amateur psychologists out there .

    You could try going to your nearest livestock market and hand out cards stating you will respect crops, bow and scrape etc lol. If they can see you in the flesh and you can point out what's in it for them, you should get something. If you can lend a hand at harvest/busy times that really goes down well. Good luck.

    I can never get my head around this term. Is a dog only not a jacker if it pursues its quarry at all costs and only comes to a standstill when it collapses? To me a dog is a genuine dog if it gives 100% on each run. If, after a course,the quarry is getting further and further away and the dog figures it is not going to catch, stops and then returns to the owner absolutely shattered but is ready to give 100% again after a suitable period of rest, then in my eyes it's not a jacker. If a dog runs its heart out one day and then runs half heartedly another day or picks its runs, that to me is a

    Sorry for being thick, but how does the 'gypsy slip' work?

    I've heard a few 'cursing' greyhounds too mate. Usually when they've backed losers all night.

    You are right Bird, there's not many of those 70s heavyweights who don't speak with a slurring voice. They've all suffered some form of brain injury. Victims of their own bravery a lot of them . Particularly Ali-a crying shame. However, he says even if boxing did cause his Parkinsons's (let's face it, it did) he would do it all again and I believe him.

    This unseasonable weather is weird. Just had a nosy round my wildlife garden with a lamp. There's still newts and frogs moving about and I live in Scotland. Read the other day that in Cornwall the frogs have already spawned. Crazy.

    This is my favourite. Thompson, a cruiserweight who, incidentally stopped David Haye, had been battered, outclassed and humiliated for 9 rounds. The ref was going to stop the fight, Thompson's corner were thinking about pulling him out. Then Carl 'the cat' Thompson comes up with this. He had balls of steel this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW1geLyh1Ck

    I was watching rooks inspecting their nests in a nearby rookery this morning. Through my glasses I could clearly see them rearranging twigs and cawing. I've noticed them do this before. It seems as though they are inspecting/claiming nests all through the winter. Does anybody know exactly what they are doing? Anybody know of any books or studies written about rooks?

    Great offer mate. However there's a possible fly in the ointment. One pup died of parvo, the other died of a severe worm infestation. Vets are by no means infallible. What if they both died of parvo, but only one pup was correctly diagnosed? It would be better, for safety's sake to get the pup vaccinated against parvo before it goes.
  16. jukel123
    How can one pup die from 'worms' and another presumably from the same litter die of parvo?????

    Check out Russel f.87's recent status update. He's just lost a pup from the same breeder plus all the dogs in his kennel from the infection the pup brought in. The breeder should, at the very least, be offering a full and immediate refund!

    Forgot to mention to be fair to her she was a very good shit hunter. She loved shit of all flavours: rabbit, hare, sheep and horse. But her especial favourite was human shit-she could find any human shit within half a mile. She appreciated both rolling in it and eating it. She was very difficult to love.
  19. jukel123
    She was eight weeks .I should have recognised she was going to be a bit weird in the first few days, but I thought with good socialisation she would come round. Wrong.
  20. jukel123
    Sesku, I am both ashamed and proud to say I kept her for 14 feckin years. My wife and kids thought the world of her and I couldn't upset them by putting her down.

    I didn't realise that a collie/grey can come with a lot of baggage: heading for home at the sound of an exhaust, a firework, thunder or gunshot. Constantly wheeling, circling totally hyperactive despite plenty of exercise, mental stimulation and work. Mine was extremely neurotic:-hated other dogs and attacked them through fear, fearful of any change in her routine, for example she would foul her run if my Mrs fed her instead of me, every time. I had to sedate her at firework time and even when I went on holiday otherwise she would pine,refuse to eat and foul her run. She also ran hot and cold

    I had a border half cross from him. It was so bad it was funny. Drove me nuts. I was wondering whether he was introducing beardie /border types to cancel out the obsessive, repetitive traits that some borders have. Mine was like a full border collie in temperament. I hated the fecker.lol It gave me high blood pressure and probably an ulcer.
  23. jukel123
    Most of the pups that hancock produces now seem to be a mix of beardie/border blood. Why after all these years has he chosen to go down this route? I know he had beardie/border stud dogs donkeys years ago, but they were in a minority. Most of his stud dogs were border types. Any answers? Theories?
  24. jukel123
    Fantastic. Would love a holiday out there.

    Tufty, what has Klitchkov said about Joshua?
