  1. Did that poor soldier loose his sight overseas??? :sick:
  2. to be honest mate he was bought as a pet - guard dog. i started tacking him out in to the field with my rifle for fun until i realised i didnt need my gun any more recently av bin takin him on rough ground were he does well with the rabbits as for his nose i carnt knock it .. i got hopes for heaver work for him in the future Good stuff mate, yours looks as mine did as a youngster, same type. It's quite funny, but if you have a dog that is so keen, you will realise what the possibilitys of a dog are, rather than a gun! Best of luck with him, good to know, though i wouldn't be too 'ge
  3. Good to hear your gonna give a comp another go LDR, even though it does have to skip a year. Though IMO it would be a damn shame to retire Bruce, i done it once, put a crackin bitch into full retirement, she faded faster than i'd of ever hoped. A damn shame, she 'melted' before my eyes, from old and grey but rock solid and keen, she became a shadow of her former self and simply pined away, i'd have much rather she died 'tryin'!! Sommat i've always felt gulty about. Keep the comp goin LDR, feck the idiots, i only wish these days, i owned sommat worth puttin in!
  4. Then thats all you need Dave... Good stuff!
  5. When I was a kid i had a bull terrier, no, our house had a bull terrier, as he was the family dog. I worked him no different than my terriers and luchers, if i was out, he was out. He had as good a nose as ANY dog i've seen, marked and drew foxes, even dug him out a few times! Hard as fecking nails, he took some stick .. Superb marker of rats and would dig like a fiend to get 'em. Pheasant wild, he'd hunt 'em up and nail 'em on the seat or take off. Basically he hunted everything I did and had, for his type, great success! Would I buy one 'as a working dog'... Not a fecking chance!!! His f
  6. Good stuff Tomo, though that 'huting', as in the title, looks a lot like what i do, hunting!! Sorry ! as usual, crackin pics and a nice bit of film, i love this sort of hunting. Did think I was gonna see a collision though, but both your dogs got all their eyes, it really does help!!
  7. Steady on lads Gettin back to the subject... A one eyed, fat arsed, bull cross and a mangy lurcher who has a fetish for catching 'the one eyed one' un-awares and pissing in his eye socket... Nice team!!!
  8. Hi, Never seen the need to introduce Bull blood to the strain of a lurcher, although there is not a true lurcher ,I like to think the Collie cross is the true ( LURCHER )ie, all rounder day and night. If you want to add such things to a lurcher you just attract attention ie, (DEVIL DOGS) As I think you would agree, this is seen more and more in every day papers.!!Again my opinion. Christ !!!!! (excuse the phrase) I was out a walk the other day (Also with a few others from the site) and saw some youngsters out with there TYSON'S and REX'S ,(bad boy dogs) and so on, there dogs were ch
  9. Simply beautiful words Stabba and 100% right!
  10. Gobsmacked these pups went on a free DFK, i'm sure the'd do someone proud. Glad to see Craigy picked one up, best of luck with it and keep us posted!
  11. If you really 'need' that pup from her, and I do mean need. Would that pup be better than any other you could buy, to save any risk on your bitch? It can be a big risk for an older bitch (then again isn't there daily risk to any dog in its chosen vocation?) 'BUT' she's had a litter before and if you have her very fit and well, she should be quite capable....
  12. Fantastic Pics Magwitch, looks great fun on a lovely late summer evening.
  13. That must have been some shite if the rats were clearing out............... Was pissin hell fire out me arse, don't blame those rats one little bit!!!
  14. Good haul on a bad night Tomo, well done. Recon you'll be making a few trips back eh.
  15. This is going to sound a little bit nuts but.... Rats! Hunted the little buggers for years man & boy, they really don't bother me to hunt 'em, in fact I love it, hunted the black rats too on the docks.... BUT, a rat unawares, in an unlikely place makes me 'jump out of my skin'. the worst was when I had to use a ramshackel bog in Malasia, tiny little box, board with hole, dropping to a cess pit, stank like ya wouldn't belive, sat there in a bad way after some dodgy local grub (which incidentally was very spicy) and so not having the best time of it, or making it smell any better! All of
  16. Same as me Poach, never met him but know a few who did, no one said a bad word about him and his dogs worked well enough.
  17. In my eyes there should be nowt wrong with showing your dogs. IF shows are staged for the right reasons, to help fund working dog clubs (rescues etc) and so folk can get out and meet and greet friends, old and new, during the long summer months AND lets not forget we all love to look at our working dogs (though it does make me laugh when some try to deny this!!) and some are run as charity events. As for judging, yes it always should be the four legged things in the ring that are judged on. I'll hold my hand up, i've taken many a dog 'in' for other folk, usually my mates, who'll stand
  18. Good pics of good bags Blitz, thanks for sharing
  19. 86 with two dogs and two 30's with one dog, two nights running.
  20. Good stuff Rolf... Well done for sticking with her.
  21. Thats a very bonny young bitch, should make someone very happy. I fancied one out of this litter but wasn't in the market at the time.
  22. Aye Bosun and he didn't look like he had pace or stamina
