    A very smart lookin black terrier it is too! Very much of the type around today. 1947 - This photo pre-dates Brey & Bucks blacks by some years, Plummers fell terrier (a reliable source of info dispite what many think of him now!) states that their blacks only appeared in the 50's and were very much a new type and not just in the Lakes. Could be a bit of photo terrier history there.

    It' Meindl for me, owned two pair over the past 15 years, best boots i've ever worn. Though, if I had the money i'd try a pair of them 'Irish Setter' boots, made by RedWing, been seein 'em at shows over the past few years, by construction the look the feckin nuts! Footwear Country do 'em. Has anyone tried them on here?? Cheers

    Thats right Leveller, there was an episode of Clarissa & the Countryman with Glatting in. If I remember correctly, Johnny Scotts terrier Tug dived into the rock pool the spaniel marked an pulled the conger out, no need for the sticks with that one!

    Ted Walsh in Lurchers & Longdogs has a chapter on 'Overseas' and tells some great tales about Rampur Hounds. Well worth a read, not only for this chapter but in general, a classic 'the' first modern lurcher book. The nearest to an exotic I've come come across was when out running hares (pre ban) over a former tip that was near a housing estate. Our dog was bending holey feck out of this fine specimen when a woman came round the corner with two Afghans, the hare shot past and the first hairy womble jumped a feckin mile an made a bee line for the safety of the womans legs. The second l

    'Storming', 'norming' and 'forming', in big business, i'm reliably informed, is the best way to good results. We need a good result, the storm may take a while, TSA showed us the clouds and Tom brought us the thunder, recon we'll get there in the end...... Oh yer, and Chris, for me a merge was the right thing!

    The first bullX I seen really work was a dog called Spike (a 'few' years back now, see best bull x thred), I was interested in these dogs and had the offer of seeing one work. His owner had been asked to shift some stuff of some land. The dog worked 'off slip' from leaving the car in the farm yard. He killed 3 'big dog foxes' that night, i'd never witnessed such jaw power. Coming off the last, i asked my mate what he was like on bunnies, spinning the lamp he ran one, cought it and carried it back as if it was made of glass, that immence jaw power had turned into one of the best 'live to hand'

    Unlucky Joe, wish him/her a speedy recovery for you. It can be a real bonus with a dog that will hit cover hard behind its quarry, taking game where many would fail, i've always admired such dogs and owned a few but the dangers of such determination......

    Jesus! Reading through this thred, it's quite obvious why lurcher & terrier folk steer well clear of getting overly involved in most 'supportive groups', far far better to plough a lone furrow.....and thats a real shame!!

    Quite a few of the drive through McD's in this city are crawling..... whilst getting late night walks in with the lurchers its not uncommon to see 5's an 6's happily scampering round the car parks. Them ornimental, false, sterile shrubbery's they plant round 'em are alive. Our local Costco's car park plantation (same designer, me thinks!) is also a haven. Got some local youthfull terrier lads on to 'em and results were good

    Tin can & tights...... If I remember right I first read about this in a Plummer book in the early 's. Was ratting like mad back then and tried the method, which is to cut out both ends of the can and secure the leg of a stocking or pair of tights to it (duck tape etc). Enter ferret in to rat hole, and ram tin can into the hole, ferret does job, rat bolts and finds sanctuary in dark (if unwashed.. smelly!) nylon, you dispose of at will!! Tried it......and..... it 'sorta' works but if your armed with your trusty ratting tyke.....

    Used just about most things over the years, both paper & straw were good (for the dogs) but messy and a real pain to clean up after, the paper sticks too much when out the box and wet and the straw really can give the drains a bad time! Now with two dogs and a 'reduced' kennel set up I came across a dog bed at the local market, with a 'memory foam' pad inside a tough nylon outer layer, I drop it in their sleeping quarters every night whilst they are eating with a fleece type blanket and fish it out and give it a shake the next morning, as my younger dog, if left in the kennel, will sti

    I've just returned from what was a very interesting and enjoyable day. Certanley NOT what I was expecting....! First off, the fecking size and scale of the place, huge!! Now I'm certainley not into KC breeds, all that funky running your fancy mutt round a ring....... and some of the grooming... BUT for all things canine, unbelivable!! Breeds that I have only read about, breeds i've never heard of and then the equipment..... Us working dog folk are always on the look out for vetinary supplies..... stalls full of 'em, magazines and mail order too. Plenty of stalls that are
