Makes a change from the noisy, mouthy Furys. I'm really enjoying not hearing from that lot. Peace. I hope it continues and he stays retired.

Does Asha still keep the deerhound crosses?

I had a deer/grey pup which whined if it was not right next to me. Whined and whined even in the hatch of the car. Whined in the kennel all day and all night even though it had other dogs with it and a heat lamp as it was used to. Was absolutely fine if it was close to me. Eventually I rehomed it and told the dog shelter it was only to be rehoved with someone who was prepared for a very big 'Velcro' dog. I felt a shit leaving it but I wasn't set up for a dog with that kind of need at the time.

I've seen a few German imports of the GWP on the hills in Scotland. They are 'macho', aloof dogs. They don't want or need human approval. They just want to hunt. A good un that actually stops and points is a real asset. But I've seen some wild feckers which just riot all day. They quest really far out unlike spaniels. With certain owners they really gel. But they are not for every gundog owner.

Yes, the wirehaired cross are seriously tough dogs. Even the pures will kill fox and deer if they get close. I think the smooth are a different breed entirely and softies in comparison. Wouldn't fancy one, I'm with Charts , daft cross imo.

All the breeds discussed have a different running style or gait. It's amazing to me how,when all these breeds are mixed, that you get effective running dogs at all. Even more weird is how you get an effective lurcher out of pointer crosses. Pointers have a unique way of moving, part gallop part questing movement. But the cross is effective. I used to have a collie saturated lurcher that when it saw a hare would run really wide of it and try and herd it. You could swear it had been taught to "come by". It only ever caught one hare .....by accident. It was f****n hopeless.

I have thought about clay shot.

There's a cat local to me which sits near my bird feeder and pounces on them whenever it can. I set the dog on it to chase it, douse it with water, put pepper down, you name it. Nothing deters it. It's a clever little barsteward. If it sees me looking at it through the window she knows I am harmless. If I open the back door as silently as I can, she's off in a flash.If I sneak up on it using the other door she's aware of the garden gate being twisted and scarpers. She perches on a fence post inches away from the dog's reach and stares down in complete contempt whilst the dog is in a frenz

That's not true Jok. You'll be peeing with it. As for the other function, you' ll just have to wait and ahem, ..... see what comes up.

I'm always staggered at the courage of men and women during the war. Imagine Paddy and his mates flying those flimsy tin boxes being shot down and then back out again. Imagine men and women being parachuted behind enemy lines in darkness. I'm scared just thinking about it. Amazing people rise to the surface in emergencies.

The big cat may be a bengal. Bigger than the normal tabby and with coat markings similar to the one in the photo. Just a thought ,I'm no expert. https://cfa.org/breed/bengal/

My next line "was I'm a 75 year old pervert with severe sinus and prostate issues. Bald, bad tempered but still imo, handsome in a well worn sort of way. I'm usually on GRINDER but don't mind experimenting. Would you like to exchange numbers?" That should do the trick.

Tell your sister I had her down as your nephew's girlfriend.

Good luck Geordies. I think every neutral would love to see them win. Might be a few sore heads and a few sickies pulled if they do.

I can never understand grown men putting young kids down. Sad feckers. -
Completely off topic, but do you remember Ginger Beard? He kept Platts deer/ greys. He used to have me in stitches. Said he hated people and preferred slaughter house work because he didn't have to talk to people. He reckons he spent his money on hookers and dope. I think he went to Norway. A friend of mine is working in Norway as a slaughterer. He says he's never coming back.Same for Ginger Beard I reckon.

Yeh, me too. Whin was good entertainment too. And he was mad about his dogs.

Do you remember that aggro you and Billy Hardy had? Comedy gold that was. Billy must have been dyslexic. It was hard to decipher what he was on about at the best of times, but when he got mad he wrote Chinese or Arabic. He was a fan of the alsation cross. And he knew a lot about and kept some bonny goldfinches.

Publicising it is asking for trouble.
