  1. Had to put the old lad to sleep last week .....what a dog and a decent producer .....he has given me some great me memories and I would love to do it all over again . over 13 year old and still doing a bit with the terriers and dog that put some amount of stuff to sleep and lived to graft plenty of stuff with his blood coursing through their veins and have 2 dogs in my yard that are breed from him and if they are half as good as he was I will be a happy man .
  2. They are a lot of work gnash but that will all depend on what lines he’s from just like with any dog ....my pointers all have different traits depending on breeding our last litter which was blood from the continent I won’t say the name of the kennel they produce top stock ....but the way these dogs work just isn’t for me very very rangey . nothing ventured nothing gained but you need to ask what the dog is up for sale in the first place ...if you get one right and you have the work for it they are a very satisfying breed to graft is he a pure or cross?
  3. If you are looking for a line for all occasions the OPST skagit is what me and most of the lads I fish with are using not the cheapest with the MOWs tips but it’s a set up you use for every thing from tiny flies to the biggest tubes and intruder flies
  4. Airflow forty + is a good line if you are fishing for trout and salmon I’ve got it on a Gordon’s 11ft #7 and have caught a helluva fish on this set up ......very good lines that throw out small hitches to big heavy tubes decent length of head on them and can be fished traditionally over head or small Scandinavia rolls and Spey style ....look out for them on amazon and eBay you can get them for 20 quid
  5. Ordered the PARd 007 ..thanks Ian ....and tried it with my nightforce scope and it just wasn’t compatible so after a bit of research got the delta titanium 2.5-15 x 56 he illuminated scope ....got scope zeroed today and seem a very decent scope for the price ...the illuminated dot on the cross hair will be very handy for low light stalking which let the nightforce scope down in my opinion .....just got all set up and very impressed with the quality of the picture will take it out for a spin tonight
  6. There’s nothing better than seeing a decent pup develop but there’s nothing worse seeing a decent dog grow old
  7. That’s the one I kept he is as bold as brass and just a good pup to have around but has some fire in him ....much the same stamp at that age as his grandsire Tigger
  8. That this litter 5 months now here’s some pics of 5 of the pups up and down the country .....some decent blood in these and should make very handy animals
  9. Conor Benn is recovering from a bad hand injury after his rematch with that French lad last year...
  10. Great book and one of my favourite films
  11. It’s been some hard graft but I’m sure we will get there ..I just want to look about in 5 years time and say ...you know what we done this ...
  12. Our season started on Saturday the 16 th we have had 5 fish so far a very good start to the season which is down to the best conditions Ive seen for many a year a crakin 18lb springer for one of our rods today his second after landing a 10 lb fish in the morning
  13. I will never take the lab to his full potential ...I saw his sire at a Scottish field trial and was very impressed but he does what I need and is a decent lab . the weeman got his cocker yesterday this thing will get to places the pointers can’t ...there will be years of fun ahead with these 2
  14. The latest to arrive today a young cocker for my young lad
  15. Last day at the hinds for me today .... we had 14 but I never fired a shot just wasn’t in the right places but that’s stalking for you ....roe doe quota pretty much done so roll on roe bucks
  16. This mild weather has melted most of the snow .....it was breezy on the tops today ...scent was all over the place
  17. Imo keepers day is the most stressful day of the season is for me anyway
  18. Totally agree...I can only go with what I’ve seen and I just don’t get the whole teckle thing ....I had a lad out that imported one from the continent that was 3 k ....it was 2 years old and I took him out and we showed it quarry behind the spade the ironic thing was my terrier was just over a year old ...this’s teckle struggled even in high stubble ..just a money maker just like the Jagd that seems to be the latest craze
  19. There are better ways of breaking dogs to sheep the last thing you want is a dog to be nervous or scared of sheep ...and the type of dog s I keep whether it’s lurchers terrier or gun dog it can turn a dog the other way
  20. Decent bred terrier is far more versatile than a teckle ....teckles are physically restricted
  21. I have to disagree you want the sheep to be running from the dog ....and that’s an old wives tail about putting a young dog in with some tupps
