Ain't owned or seen work a Cowan bred dog for 20+ years. Back then, the dogs were of a smart type, tall and leggy. All were a bit 'gassy' and loved a tear up, especially around the 12month mark but both I owned would stay and were hard as feckin nails underground. My bitch was given the name Lassie but once entered and for the rest of her workin life we knew her as Crazyhorse! If he still breeds the same type you won't go far wrong

On my bullx dog side about 18 years, with the same blood on both sides. From what i'm told my lurcher bitch's dam line goes back much much longer, the sire was an outcross of unknown breeding. It's nice to know the ancestry of a dog but if it works and works well, thats all the info you'll need.

why not write to the editor and tell him your concenrs and make suggesytions....that way theres a good chance you will see the kind of articles you want to see. Much more productive than just slagging it off on here Ha Ha Ha..... I did a few years back, I also spoke to (the very nice) Tracy Allen when at the Welsh one year BUT and this was pre ban, they wern't very enthusiastic about articles about 'genuine' terrier work, work to ground, nor the taking of foxes with lurchers, especially mentioning lurchers with bull blood in 'em that, at the time was the unprintable word in the CMW!!!

Well that took a while Georgia, for what looked like a very handy critter, i did like the look of him too. Hope he does well for his new owner

A nice little thing Mooshka A few years back I (rather my Mrs), did a similar thing, went home full of doubt but it all (for the time we had her) couldn't have turned out better. Best of luck. -

Read this an searched, look's like he's gone. Damn shame if you ask me, my fav poster on this site, always jumped straight to read Wilf's posts. Sharp, honest, dry, well informed and very funny.... I hope it's just temporary.

Got a mate who, a few years back had some 'very serious' fox dogs, none would go anywhere near the family cat but would destroy any other moggy on sight.

They sell it in Martins newsagents in Maghull square, though I wouldn't waste my money and time on it personally, subscribe to EDRD and use this site for all your needs.

Killed by a group of baboons....Now that ain't the way for a good dog to go.... BUT, just wondering i hope it was a Great Dane bitch used for that mating, or that grew would have suffered a worse fate than it's unfortunate offspring!!
-
The Great Dane as we see it today, in the show ring, would/could bring 'NOTHING' to the working lurcher and I'm sure even less to the hunting field! I'm sure someone, somewhere in the world has an unchanged, old time specimen that could possibly hunt but for our fair shore's it still nigh on useless. All that said, those two off 'The Swiss Family Robinson' (the one with John Mills) did look great to me as a kid

This shows what little experience you have of the breed, also you have listed German Shepherds and Alsations as separate votes? They are the same dog. The best guard dog depends on your definition of a guard dog, many people are happy with something that sits in the kennels and barks at strange noises, other own dogs that will bite anyone entering their "territory" where as my idea of a guard dog is one that is very sociable inside and outside the home environment, is always under control with an excellent level of obedience and high drive and strong nerves, the dog must be able to find,

Just were a pair of 'Y' front's to the party, when asked what you've come as tell 'em 'premature ejaculation', when asked how you work that out? Reply, "I've just come in my undies"!!

Good to see her doing well 'down under' Stabs. Seen a few Beardie crosses 'go' and rated all of 'em. The best write up on a Beardie came in early EDRD's from Marc H. Glenn, I was glued to the stuff on his pup's progress and then it all fell silent... Shame!

Always thought TopGun was a little bit gay.... Will Young did too and did a very justifiable parody of it, a year or two back!

Hmm ! Anyway's, loads of crackin 's films, all the 'classics' and then some! Right out with it Paul.... been in the closet too long...!! Was always a sucker for those 'Brat Pack' type movies, Rumble Fish, The Outsiders, The Breakfast Club, Catholic Boys, St Elmos Fire, Pretty in Pink and my fav...

jumping,what do i do?
Bosun11 replied to JPTfellterrier's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Reduce the hight she's jumping. Look for, or set up sommat she could clear easily, though make sure it's still wire. Wind her up with something to retrieve over, get her exited to go over it with tones of praise for leaping without touching, she'll soon click that to get over faster to continue the game, it's easier to leap directly over. -
Err, I think you'll be refering to Lakeland type Terriers (black & tan), 'Patterdale' as a name for a dog was never used in it's native Lakeland until these types of terrier became popular in other parts of the country, locally they were (and still are by some) known as Fell Terriers, which is a name associated with the various crossbred terriers emerging from the Lakes area. The 'Fell Terrier' name covers all bases, including Patterdale, Lakeland (none registered) and Border/Lakeland's or any mix of these. Fell Terrier colours include, B&T, Red, Chocolate and (predominantly) Black (
