With all due respect p***y, though he can answer for himself, i'm sure Wolfy was just doing a little fishing on here, as I do know he's new to this pc stuff but not to the working terrier!

About right Wilf. I've long since learned that 'most' organisations supposedly dedicated to the greater good of 'our' pusuits, turn to shite, we've seen it before and i'm sure (sadly) we'll see it again. March your fecking legs off, it'll only strengthen the social status of some! The two things that always get me are.....: The false hope that is sold with each membership. Money that people think is funding 'the fight', when all it really does is fund those gala nights and tea partys that go with the 'ladder climbing' of the chair and secritary etc. Remember.......

As soon as I put that part up about Minshaw dogs, I knew what would come back Lancer and i've put bits up on other posts about 'em so look back, plenty of 'em on here. It would be a shame if this thred is turned into yet another Minshaw 'bicker'. It's about the comp, let it be so....

Whin, with all due respect, your posts certanily leave me pondering..... For someone who's posts portray a man who's been in this game many years and is still going strong, to then write that rabbits are "a bit of fun and don't stretch the dog too much" it would seem that you have never run for numbers, no need, as rabbits are far far to low key and such an easy catch!! ?? Not all on here are new to this game , some have done a bit for a few years, far and wide and still do run plenty of 'bigger stuff', BUT with the utmost respect, those still out to catch decent hauls of rabbits, know j

Damn good choice, a very underrated film, your dead right about Hopper and Walken, fine, fine acting! Sexy Beast is a great Brit classic to. As for Horror..... I must have had a bad time as a kid with those old Hammer classics, so i'm hiding behind a cushion as soon as the music starts

Would have to agree Frank, we used plenty of ex track dogs when we were kids (dead cheap or givaways). Looking back, I wouldn't know (and didn't care) what prior running these dogs did but most never made it and a fair few died trying, seen some horrific deaths, as you said, far to fast, for their limited minds. Though, it has to be said I did see one or two good 'un's. Dogs that either worked out what open counrtyside was, pretty fast, or had the luck with their first few runs and settled in but even these were pretty broke with a season or two behind 'em. I'm sure with correct and car

It's a fair point Brookie.... One well worth thinking about. Yep, we could stand together for once and fight this case, all chip in, small donations, appoint a barrister and with the right one (CR springs to mind) I'm sure we could toast a small victory AND just maybe 'if' we did the same for other similar cases (as i'm sure will come up!) it may give these feckin :wankerzo4: sommat to think about for the future???? Sounds good....... Well.... it would do, but read over the other threds on this topic first, read the replies from half the 'hunters' on here they would see him/them burn

Very sad news. Met Cyril, twice, many years ago and bought a good bitch off him too. A true giant of of hunting and Fell (lakeland) Terriers.

I wish I was in the market right now, i'm sure these pups will make crackin animals. For anyone looking for real 'when the chips are down' dogs, look no further! Best of luck with the sale Joe.

Eh!!!! Do you know these lads personally FT? As thats a pretty damning attack on those who run lurchers without permission, most of whom respect the land and animals they run! 'Help our cause'.... what cause would that be??? If you think that the forces that oppose us will go away if every owner of a lurcher or terrier had permission to work their animals you are very much mistaken!! Oh, and as for us having a bad name, scum as you called it, thats been around for the 'few' hundred years that people have kept and worked lurchers & terriers, most of us work around it!

Yep Cp, I'd agree with that, once had the 'pleasure' of a German import on my arm.... he really was a different animal! I just always try to make the point on here, that most 'weirdo' crosses, bred by your average Joe, using the nearest available animal, because he hear'd it could, just wouldn't make the grade as a working lurcher. Try a 'new' cross the right way by all means, source and breed from the 'right' animals, test them in the fire and be brutally honest about the results. That said, if the right person did do this and put his heart into it, would that be the same for the othe

Your last sentence is dead right Wilf I also agree with Bird etc. The Doberman, if bred right, can be a pretty handy dog as a guard breed, but unfortunatley spurred on by Zeus and Appollo and a crappy film called The Doberman Gang they hit a boom in the early 's and ten ton of shite was bred!!! Dobies look athletic enough but in their movement they are as stiff as boards, never seen one out excercising that would give me any reason to think it would suit a lurcher x. None had a decent gait, none could turn and there is no agility in free movement what so ever.... And as Bird said,

Red Lumps on Dogs Neck
Bosun11 replied to Little Butch's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Bull terriers can have skin problems of all sorts (acral lick disease is one) but I recon that problem is caused from one of the two things mentioned or both, first started by the fence then aggrivated by the pup. Though whatever the cause, on a bull terrier it always appears bad. Electric fencing can cause some nasty marks, many moons ago (very pre-ban) I pulled over to lamp a fox from the road side, on a field I knew well, called it in and sent my old bitch over a big flat topped hedge with a bigger drop on the other side, she did this with a running jump off the road and as she was a fa -
The Yearling, cried my fecking eyes out as a kid an never watched it since!
