That's him Rob, he still can't help himself with the chest measurements, they come up on every other post, and go hand in hand with his Chapman worship.

I enjoy a jacket spud, but I'm not the biggest fan. What I can't get my head around lately are blokes like 'The Spud Man', who's all over social media, has celebrities and people coming from far and wide for a jacket spud, with huge queues lasting hours. I believe one has opened by me in Crosby and people are coming from all over the NW to try it, WTF is that all about, it's a baked potato with butter and grated cheese etc FFS...??

Would anyone know if Sharptooth are still trading. All that comes up on a Google search is the web creators that designed their site. Can't seem to find any links to where they are sold. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Maybe i really shouldn't post on this topic, as i'm someone who's had dogs run and catch with broken toes, and seen dogs that could do the same whilst running on digits that were so smashed they stood on them. Back then, if a dog jacked a run because of a sore dew claw, i"d reconsider the standard of dog i was running. It was all about hearts and numbers... Though I'm lucky enough never to have a dog with dew claw problems. These days I'd only get a pup on with the dew claws removed.

I'd simply find the biggest, hardest, most smashed, bull greyhound hybrid, and make a fecking killing on the pups...

In my experience, grow what you want to eat, no more, no less... Wolfy dog, I've moved your posts on the subject to the 'Living Off The Land' heading. Best of luck with the venture -
Not when it's stifled by piss poor ownership...

Absofuckinlutely.... Fair play to you Wilf, you couldn't of given any better responses to such a pathetic post

Yep, i'm sure we're talking about the very same... Gets a real shit on with any thing not meeting Eddie's standards

Cracker that, well done...

Eddie is almost idolised in the US, but not so much here. The bloke on FB by the name of Terrierman, can't gush enough about him. I dug to a couple of his dogs in the 80's and they were decent enough. I last seen him at my only visit to Crufts about 17 years ago. Back in the 80's a mate put a dog off Eddie over a working Border bitch and they also were good. Eddie seen a white bitch off this litter at a show and bought it off the lad, knowing how it was bred. He then put one of his dogs over that and sold the lot as his line. And though I'll bet those pups were no worse for tha

Read this earlier. Sensationalism at it's best, reading absolute anti bullshit about a perfectly legal and normal activity. The only things he did wrong was trespass with no permo.

Zamberlan (the heavier models) can be a bugger to break in, but mine are still top notch 4 years in, and as comfortable as slippers.

Yes, he did, at the very begining.

Yeah, but remember, he had a number of different stud dogs, of different types of collie, and collie hybrids too. I would think in the early days he experimented on those different studs, and the various lines of greyhound, with the best intentions. He had a reputation to earn for this venture to be a business. But Plummer's fixation with the merle coloured dogs, and subsequent book promotions, took him to think not of working ability, just sales... His book, My Life with Lurchers gives some insight as to the various types he was producing. That said, I believe those dogs

I judged a wolfhound/greyhound the other week in Conwy. Bloke brought that, and a trailer full of different crosses over from Northern Ireland. He was tiny, and the dog as big as him..! To be honest, the beast looked like it had a gallop in it. And I asked what it was like on foxes. He replied that he'd never tried it on them. It was just a deer dog, at which it did very well, and running it on foxes may spoil that..!! All I know is that, neither dog nor owner looked like they could deal with a deer in the field, and I wouldn't like to shovel up after it...

It was one hell of an experience mate. To follow a professional stalker trying to hit his cull quota was tough. I really wasn't sure what to expect, so kept an open mind. Donnie is in his late 60's, but he can move up the steepest glen like the very beasts we were stalking. Driving the bottom roads, pausing to gaze up, and as soon as deer were spotted we were going up, vertical, direct, no paths, no routes, just direct. On a couple of stalks, Donnie would say " this isn't going to be fun", and boy was he right..! Gralloched where they fell, it fed the foxes on the hill. Some of the poorer

I was invited to go stalking up near Alberfeldy last November. I seen a total contrast to everything you have just posted. To have it right, ALL upland areas in the British Isles used to be densely forested, but were stripped bare for grazing, hundreds of years before the gun was ever invented.
