Bosun , the bounty was 35pence a tail when work was a bit tight so it was handy , who was the lad from your area, unreal the numbers at the time , thats when say on here lads had 100 a night , people wont have it , but they did on numerous occasions , but never mind , there is a surge in rabbit population this summer , we always have plenty but a lot more than normal , so will have some fun this winter lamping/ferreting .

It's a place I've always fancied to visit, I can remember when there was a bounty on rabbits, early eighties i think, and a noted local lurcherman went over never to return. I get there one day.

Feck me Tom, if you find it heavy to wear, who the feck wouldn't?? Plus, I wouldn't fancy having to break into a run with it on, some serious damage could be done there!! It's a fine and unusual thing though, best of luck with the sale

In the main Dotty, they ain't, but there are always the odd exception and if used, can deal with anything this country has to offer. Would I take that gamble though..

I'd totally agree with you points mate, your dead right IMO. Though, if anyone has (and I can see those who have..) got a decent grafter of an EBT then why not use it, like I said, mine worked like a fiend, the right type is more than capable..! And to those who's lurchers are out of this type, great, I hope your dogs work well for you, like I said I knew of a cracker, a 'genuine' dog, one i'd have loved to own.

Thats a very tidy whippet, looks well. Though it won't get far after that bunny with its lead on. Cracking shot of the kits too.

The one cross I always wanted Simo Back in the late 's I owned a 'genuine' working EBT, tall & rangy, this dog really could graft and though I tried putting him to both Greyhounds and Lurchers, it never happend. The big dumb b*****d was just that, when he came to stud, a big dumb b*****d! There was a dog of this breeding in the early 90's called Mickey, from Leigh, who had a hell of a reputation, i've been out with some of his offspring and all were very good, took one out on trial once, but it made a right mess of a good and very timid bitch I had in the back of the motor and it we

A 'well bred' Saluki hybrid (my next dog). A 'real' bushing mutt (this could come before the Saluki). A Catahoula Lepard Dog (for no particlular reason, other than i've never seen one in the flesh). If I do my 'homework' the first two should be sound investments, I really don't have any need (or see any sense) in owning a dog I can't use constantly. The third, because I needed a third for this post!

would by miniature fox terrier be any good?
Bosun11 replied to Dameize's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Didn't know there was a 'miniature' fox terrier, just fox terriers..?? Anyways, i'd agree with CG, you'll never know till you have a go (no ryme intended!), may as well try the fecking lot, from earth work to rabbiting, though i'd betcha it'll do very well with rats, one of the best ratters i've ever seen was a fox terrier, a demon to 'em. -
The best fox dog i've ever seen was a Liverpool dog called Floyd, running for a good number of years with a very keen & expierienced owner, this dog was well into 4 figures.

You can buy a rice cooker for about a tenner, they are just about the simpelest things you could use, simply measure the water to the rice and push the 'on' button. Perfect rice every time, mines lasted about 15 years and still goin strong. For chilli, add chopped onion and saffron for flavor and colour. For a curry, saffron, turmeric and ground corriander.

Nobody knows what a bull cross looks like.... "Come on, lets see your bull crosses"..!!!! (Can also be substituted for Saluki, collie, bedlington etc..!!!)
