    Cannot beat a bit of good old Irish fertiliser

    Was just wondering geoff did you continue to run Tay on hares,and do you still keep the same line of dogs
  3. low plains drifter
    The dog I have is a grandson to irish lady,he used to tie them in knots and could box them up into a small area,was a shock to me and a few other lads to see such a big rangey dog run like that,he's 10 year old now but still likes to show what he can do now and then,wish he was 2 year old again lol I was quite surprised at my buddy bred dog how he runs them on the small land near home hes cuaght me a good few on fields a small dog would have trouble with. Has anybody ran a straight irish terrier/ grey and what was the irish terrier bred for ? Atb I've heard the Irish terrier was a very game

    I can hear the rabbit screaming cannot take anything away from Tay,he put everything in to that run,and if that was his first time behind a hare,he ran very well,liked the other dog aswell,good comparison of running styles

    Good point blackgreyhound,I had a good walk around a shooting estate this afternoon,the hare population was thriving until the mid 90's when the lamping really got popular,then it become a case of shooter vs lamper,and it was the hare that suffered,the place looks silent now,dont know about anyone else but for me brown hares,grey partriges,lapwings and skylarks bring the land to life

    Good to hear about some hares doing so well,It was because of the high hare population that I first developed my 20 year obsession with hares on a small shoot that we used to visit as school kids,it was around the same time that i saw you on the telly with speckle and how you mentioned how solitary it was about being a lamper,never forgot that,and always enjoyed what you said or wrote about this crazy life atb to you c.w.

    That new white bitch you've got reminds me of my old bitch that I lost in january 13 year old she was,and still wanted to fight with the bull terrier in the vets 10 minutes before she was put to sleep,breast and lung cancer,if that is'nt gameness I dont know what is,nothing like starting out with a young prospect,all the best with yours
  10. low plains drifter
    What's going on with all of these dogs captain,you'll be able to have a comp on your own at this rate lol,i've found another dvd with a bit more footage of the Irish dogs on,i'll send it over to you with a few photos of my dogs,I tell you I was born too late,no good with all this modern technology,never mind the dogs you will be fit enough to catch them after training that team lol
  11. low plains drifter
    Real nice thing that you've done for her j dog,i've been lucky as good dogs have always found me,looks like the same thing has happened to you,all the best to you and your pack, good lad
  12. low plains drifter
    Looks like a couple of nice clean heart shots,get some strong ones on that hilly land,hope you did'nt make the poor bitch retrieve them too far
  13. low plains drifter
    Yeah I was told black leghorns we're good egg layer's and big eggs for a banty,I got 3/ 16 week old light sussex bantams a few year ago,lovely looking things they were,but did'nt start laying until they were 8 months old,only got a few eggs before they went broody,then they were just squawking all day got too noisy as I keep them in the back garden,just got 3 hybrid hens at the minute,quiet as mice,and lay non stop,thanks for the advice atb
  14. low plains drifter
    I like fuji's photos,15 minutes of looking at them makes me feel like i've had a good walk,shame about my own dogs,they go no further than the back garden now

    Gutted I was looking for a x-box. My neighbour is threatening to sell one,if his daughter does'nt come back with his dole money
  16. low plains drifter
    Just looking for some advice,could anyone tell me what breed of banty would be a good one to look for,for egg laying,was hoping to find a breed that does'nt go broody too often
  17. low plains drifter
    Most will say it never made the grade.I would love to know what the grade is.And when a dog fails it. What worries me is where do all these dogs go that didn't make the grade, I know some will pts but I bet far more get sold on. Some of the lurcher owners I've met are like a kid with a box full of toys,never happy with what they've got and when the next one comes along the novelty soon wears off regardless of the dogs ability,never mind the dogs not making the grade,take a look at the lazy arse temporary owners

    I've got a dog of the Irish breeding,he's about 26/27 inch tts just looks like a usual tall coursing dog,only ran him on small land,tightest dog I've ever seen and fast to the back of them,pups out of him have the same running style,seems to be a style well known to the dogs with the Irish terrier blood,I wonder if it could be the terrier influence on the saluki blood making these dogs try so hard to end a run,rather than hanging back,it's certainly an exciting style to watch
  19. low plains drifter
    I remember Tay from the fieldfare challenge,what a flying machine,the hare that he ran had to put up with early pace and a stamina runner,good to compare the two running styles on big open land,always thought across between a dog like Tay and a good quality saluki cross would be something worth owning
  20. low plains drifter
