If i was a purist, i'd say never but i've seen good dogs brought on either way. On here it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. One thing i know for sure, whichever way i was gonna bring on a youngster, in this day an age, i wouldn't be asking the world about it....

Cracker that... Nice one for posting mate.

Knew a lad that used to visit Bill often, he said that he always liked Sid Wilkinsons dogs and if he, or Middleton had a good 'un on he would try to use it. Used to sit at his kitchen table when he went, once with a revolver on it. Bill said he chased Plummer down the road with it when he came to him reserching his Fell Terrier book. That's why Bill didn't make it in..! He was a nice bloke with hands like a bunch of bananas! The Jock in Fell Terrier was Gary's. Bill favoured a harder terrier.

Anyone ever run a deerhound x borzoi
Bosun11 replied to Jake the jackle's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
A mate in Wigan had a dog with a good dollop of Borzoi blood in it back in the late 80's. Propper Borzoi head on it. It was an ok animal, though i'd question how much the Borzoi blood had to do with that... -
How's that dog you got off Paddy (THL Patrick) getting on? I know he's tried to message you to find out. Thing is young Paddy is working in Hong Kong at the minute and would love to know if it made the grade or not. Cheers.

Kingy, i posted before i had a close up of your accomdation and looking at that, i'd see if i could get a cheap enough roller blind. Propper job if you could.

Nylon coal sack (clean), tacked side on to the roof, with a wooden batton on the inside. Roll up and place on top in good weather and drop down in horizontal rain. Simples!

Its the lining Vin. Either hand wash the inside using a decent detergent or send it off to one of those Barbour repair gaffs and have it cleaned or relined. Whatever you do dont wash/damage the outside. Years of re-proofing are priceless in these jackets. Once done shower before every use and it should be right for years.

New Midleton Lakeland Book
Bosun11 replied to Coursing mad 24's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Agree with that W, though i'm still glad that Frain put a book together because characters like Gary are well worth remembering, no matter how well its written. There are still plenty of the older generations who's experiences are well worth putting to print. Sadly, no one seems interested in doin it. -
New Midleton Lakeland Book

Cheers Dilly... I wont bother with that then! -
Know what your saying Billy but i recon there's more to taking a hare in a net... Recon it'd be a fair bit harder than some do by spinning one with a lamp with a part bred desert dog and then skimming it in a ditch... Those with the skills to net propper knew the worth of a big strong hare.

New Midleton Lakeland Book
Bosun11 replied to Coursing mad 24's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I got the second book, seems a bit of a mish mash of information, like two books pages shuffled and put together. Its ok but though i aint read the first, i'd bet it'd be a better read about Gary himself. -
Once upon a time, when hares were prized as food, rather than left to rot and few dogs could take em regular, gate netting was the most popular method of taking hares...

That one i judged was soft as shite...

Fantastic start to the season... Well done!

Yep, throw out the big 'need shooting' line and bingo, masses of protest... Hybrid wolves all over the world now, popping up all over social media, very trendy. I even judged one in Wales the other year...! Recon its nothing new either... That Buck dog in Call Of The Wild has a lot to answer for... This ones a crock of shite if you ask me, a set up. The agenda is really cry for help to be noticed for funding etc, me thinks...
-
Gotta agree. There's an Irish forum I look at and if a post has a hint of an illegal subject or any legal issues about it they pull the plug. Do I get a T-Shirt for kissing ass ? Yes, its pink. Do you want your name front or back?

Dirty protest... Their demands are; getting out more and better housing..!!

Damage limitation Stiffy, for the money spent, the team played and the results in black and white... Moyes can feck off, done nothing since he's left. It's only October so fat Sam can feck off too because we ain't fighting relegation. Unsworth and Big Dunc can steady the ship but we need more IMO. And i have heard Giggs is interested... Nah, feck off and cut your teeth lower league Ryan. You ain't gonna use us for an apprenticeship... It's Ancelotti for me he's a winner but i very much doubt he'll come... Bugger..!! All the others you know about but i ain't mentioned, well one of them
-
Just for the record Peterhunter, you told the whole forum where you live when you put it up, asking if anyone wanted to go lamping with you.... And no, didn't find that either, i just looked on your profile to see if it were true. Any argument any of my mates are involved with on here, i let them sort out for themselves, they are big enough and ugly enough to do so...

I always liked the one from the dust cover of diary of a hunter Think it's two lurchers jumping a hedge I know the one you mean Stiffy but i thought the dust cover from 'Diary' was a photo of the bloke with the spade an dog?

Surely he could have got all hypnotic mind bending mumbo jumbo on her and she wouldn't had known feck all had happened... Just sayin like!
