    I'm in the market for some new galloshes at the moment, so i'll come in handy to know whats out there, seen all the Le Chameau & Agile stuff but was wonderin if theres anythin else out there. TimmyK off here has recently gone and got himself a pair of 'Cobras', says they are snake proof and if we end up in a field full of snakes, i'm fecked!!! He read the write ups on 'em and it took a while to locate 'em but he did. Got to admit, they look sturdy and comfy enough but though he says they are a welly, they don't look like your average pair, time and fields will tell.

    One....... It's called the Lakeland terrier. Though if you mean how many different terrier types come from the Lakes & North Yorks areas you have the Lakeland, Patterdale (or black Fell), Fell terrier (covers all bases!) and maybe you could put Border-Lakeland in that bunch too (though that name seems to be getting rarer, most just refered to as Fell's).

    I agree, there is better more modern stuff out there..............do a search. Yep, dead right but back in the 's there was nothing to touch 'em, Blue eye, Black eye & Clear eye, all done well.

    some breeds take longer than others for the nuts to descend........be careful when taking a pup for its first jabs as the vet if they cant find both will tell you all about this condition and the dangers (which are real as Dawn states above) and try and get the mutts nuts off before he has had chance to let them descend........My dog has both proudly swinging in his sacks! however on his first visit to teh vets one wasn't quiet there....vet starts going on about all teh above (this is a small 8 week old puppy) and saying I will have to book him in for castration! I think the vet saw it as an o

    I use army surplus, though post bags ain't bad, some are swearing by SS's new carrier but I don't catch that much to justify one 'The One' and others are right, it's all about where you are, the weather conditions, also what you are running and how expierienced you are. Never be disheartened by listening to folk talk of taking huge bags (even for their average), most are full of shite, you'll learn that just as you'll learn about your ground, the weather, your mutt and all the expierience you'll soak up along with it. The only 'fly' is, no matter how keen you are and will persevere for

    Christ!!!! It's not about the dogs fecking nut, or the lack of it, it's about breeding from a 12 month old animal that has seen little or no work, that is the point, simples!!!!! Dawn B also, I beg to differ, the working Border Terrier, as a whole, is in dire straits, the thred on 'em on here is proof of that, I wouldn't care if it had one ollie, is overshot, had a stump tail or pissed backwards, if it went to ground, stayed to ground and could be called a genuine working Border Terrier, i'd breed from it, without a single doubt. All other minor 'faults' could be then bred out but wor

    Unless i've had to administer medicines to my dogs I've never weighed 'em, even when a vet has done it, i've never taken much notice, to me a dog need only to be viewed to see it's condition, weight matters little. All that said and I do know that my mutt would be a pound or two heavier if all the parts missing were still intact!

    If you have tried for years,you must really want one,if i really wanted something i would pay the price,this is the same problem that keeps cropping up,there has been a set price paid for borders for years,so why should the man who has worked even harder to keep a working line going sell his cheaper,than those who keep them as pets,surely he is entitled to the same money some people just dont get it and never will ....funny how its a alaunt owner that wrote that I tried the alaunt but it didnt suit,maybe i will get my user name changed to please you,yes some people will never get it,

    A lad on here said that Dave Harcombe tried it about 20 years ago, and it didn't work. The reasons it didn't work was there was no internet and he used alot of show bred stuff, thinking he could get them to work. Just before he wrapped in the borders, Levi Oates offered him 3 digging borders, 2 bitches and a dog that were working, not pups. John getting back to you, I think you have a big task ahead of you and I know quite a few lads up and down the country that would say the same. I love the idea of it, as I am very passionate about border terriers, and I wish you the best of luck in your que

    EP, I'd have a think on how much you want for it based on how much it's actually worth, with an original jacket. I'll bet you'll get plenty of interest and do your homework, as somebody else will

    a few good terrierman turned plummber down with interviews when it came to writing the fell terrier book as by then he already had a reputation for writing bull shit..one great terrierman arthur wells who is no longer with us from kendall in the lakes turned him down i know for a fact,which was a shame as wells did alot of diggin with some really good hard dogs Bill did turn plummer down & he was far from polite about it . I know this for a fact , because it was at a show when he was approached & Bill had been taken to the show by my dad who was stood next to him when Bill told him

    His finest work, an undertaking I don't think many would do again. Some great men in there and unfortunatley some not so great! Oh, and some 'deliberatley' missing!! As far as i'm concerned though, its a 'must' read. Anyone wanting to look back at the great days of Fell hunting, the terriers and the men who kept 'em needs a copy.

    Has the look of the old types, types rarely seen on here or most places these days, damn shame too, RIP.

    Quite a few good answers on here to an interesting question, what i'd question, these days is the 'value' and 'credibility' of the word respect. In my youth it was a 'powerful' word used, seemingly, for things of great importance. These days it's been hijacked by street kids and gang culture and though they use it as a word of 'equality' to stabalize their volitile world, what they really should use is the word 'fear'. "He doesn't respect me"! Should be, "He doesn't fear me"! and, usualy sparks retribution...! Sorry for boring.... So, saying 'respect your quarry', these

    Speak to Doxhope off here, he'll always give an honest account of the cross, or check out his book, damn good read.

    Mine get tinned mackerel once a week, for anyone wanting to try it make sure you get 'em the stuff in OIL (or tomato sauce) but not the brine!! As for fresh mackerel, deffo, whenever I can get it, they get it, eaten raw & whole. They'll just about polish off any raw fish given and love it, except trout..?

    Well mk3, thats easy, you use your loaf and buy two collars from SS, one without a reflective strip and pref in a very dark colour....'Like black'..... Then, you think about where your gonna be lamping that night and if the gaffs a bit 'warm' put the none reflective one on...(your dog, that is!!!!!!!!!) Seriously, if you are on a spot of easy ground, without the fear of looking over your shoulder, these reflective strips make interesting viewing for the lamper

    F**king vets

    Bosun11 replied to Malt's topic in General Talk

    Maltenby i would have thought you'd of realised most vets are fecking shite anyway... Get on tinterweb and look for 'bat rescue' type stuff, i'm sure you'll find sommat local and they'll probs collect the little fella too. Good on yer though for doin your best

    Gotta say, after seeing Strong Stuff's Lith battery I was well impressed, they are the future, of that I have no doubt. As for any other type and how long they last..... Its simple, get yourself a decent dry cell 12v 17aph battery, connect it up and get out and flick the switch, unless your on a full nights 'mission' it'll go the distance, after that, concern yourselves with whats at the other end of your beam instead of piss-balling with fecking fractions!!!
