a great read MC....one that really 'states your name'. Just off the subject a little....... When selling 'our type' of vehicles..... Once owned a very...very reliable Renault, 19 TD model, this car went everywere.....from 'tricky' parking spots high up on the Lakeland Fells (following different packs) to being used like a Sube over rough ground in pursute of all manner of critter......well time came (bout 100k+ of my own miles) to say goodbye, now I had been using this 'bus' daily for 8 years and (to my standards then) gave it a damn good clean pre-sale, two blokes come to view.....do the

Yep, agree with you Pip, time with 'em seems to be the thing.......I have never owned one but seen a few genuine first X's out, all dogs were 'sharp' temperament wise and could really 'turn it on'. Bitches were a different kettle of fish.....could be the same as the dogs in the field, game as feck! ....but very...(am loath to use the word but...) 'timid' (or use 'quiet'?) and needed good handlers and constant re-assurance to get the best out of them (not all did!).....in the right hands these girls could do very well for the opportunist owner who needs his dog to get 'stuck in', very biddable -
With all due respect Dawn, he looks as good on the back end as your friends dog, he's just standing with his back legs under him and his tail high in the pic, i wouldn't say he had bad stifles, just a poor shot of 'em, the dog looks like he's possibly about to turn, being on the lead? Totaly understand why your asking the question but I recon a few more pic's will help.

Something I often wondered SJM, Marc H. Glen was doin some great articles in EDRD a few years back, really enjoyed them, always seemed good, honest accounts? Had one hell of a training programme for that pup he bred and wrote about, was that Sheamus, as I don't fancy trawling through all my back copies! Then he stopped writing.....What happend??

Yep, Nelson, it's something that's had me wondering too......For the past 25 years people have talked about 'old' Nuttall stuff and how good these dogs were but I have yet to meet or hear from anyone who has kept this stuff pure? Brian Nuttall has said to me that his dogs are no different to the dogs of yesteryear except in size, so what were the qualities of these former dogs that merrit so much debate? If this 'old' stuff was so good and so readily available then surely people would have kept 'pure' lines? We hear all to often how dogs have old Nuttall blood in 'em but it's always way down

My dad brought home a Grew when I was about 5-6 and she went everywhere with me, summers where always good, off to the caravan, with open land an bunnies everywhere. Every Sunday my dad would take me to work with him, he worked on Sefton Meadows land fill site (tip!) and drove the 'Compactor' and other heavy plant. Now, going with him was good, coz sitting in that cab, pushing tons of rubbish over.....great fun! But what I loved more than anything were the 'Ratters'. Blokes would come from all over the country to rat the place, cars and vans tipping out huge amounts of terriers and lurche

Know what, mate? My instant reaction to that statement was; " Really?! " But then, a second later, I remembered that I personally know of SIX active badger sets within a One Mile Quadrent of this f*cking chair! Four of them within a few hundred yards. One within fifty. If I could be arsed to look for the ones in the other three quarters? God alone knows how many there must be. And ye wonder why I've never seen hide nor hair of a hotchi here? Sounds like it's time to stop staring at that margarine mess on your windowsil Ditch

To quote Plummer on his 'legendary' Omega bitch, 'to use her for earth work would be like using a Rapier to chop wood', funny that this 'Rapier' was last spotted huddeling in a wet tea chest, exposed to the elements of Cathness! And yes......I have read (and re-read) many a Plummer 'classic'!!
