My young lad has been pestering me for a running dog for a while so I said I would get him something small ...he has proved to me that he is ready after seeing him work his spaniel . I have been looking to breed my bitch fly and many thanks to all the lads that have offered me there dogs as service ...I was going to do it this year or early next year but I have no need for another big dog I have fly that is 4 and MOrphie who's 2 . So now comes the eureka moment I had ......fly is definitely worth taking pups from she has it all drive ,wind,pace just a good honest well bred bitch that makes

There are a few wheaten a doing it but how many average lads can get access to it .its the same with bull....as for bed die the only thing that's brings to the mix is coat

That's a 10-12 year plan if done right
-
Because how many of the above breeds are truly tested in fact how many of the above breeds are even worked?
-
I think I would keep what I wanted then knock the rest unless a few people were really interested in them, but like I say something for me to think about in the futureThat would be the total opposite from what I would do I would put them all out to lads that would test them ...then you would see if it was a successful breeding to pursue

very true but the prices need to come down too, even working men want 350 a pup, too much Fecking hell I gave £250 for him off a mate works and shows them.we bred his mother and then he put his father back onto her and got him.i know where ya coming from price wise but I think what I paid would be the norm for a terrier or lurcher these days when you have cross breed Danny lickers going for more than pure Breds. Some mate ,!!!

Fukcin hell mate, you sound like a human swiss army knife carrying all that shit about lol Lol...Iknow ....I need to hire a polish lad to carry my shit about

I removed the double pin connection from end of lamp wire ...cut the top of the housing of on the lithium battery and connec,ted the wires that way ...it's all taped up so the lamp is permanently connected to battery ....I work the big lamp withe battery in. A shoulder bag but it's becoming a fukin pain getting in and out of the truck as I can't drive with the lamp on my knee like a satellite dish as I have the pulsar thermal night vision in a bag over my other shoulder ...the strap to hold my lamp around my neck ....game bag ....it's becoming too much so ordered a plr 500 and that should make
-
The first thing I do when I get a lamp is totally re wire it in side the handle and straight to lithium battery no connections everything hard lined

Lost a very good terrier to ground last year not a particularly hard spot or particularly hard quarry just tucked around a bend with an awkward root and a tear was shed that day ...as has already been said I'm sure that's the way they would want to go as I hate seeing a dog growing old especially when they start to loose their purpose ....agree with rabbit hunter it has happened to me twice and has left a big hole in my kennels

Fist Coyote Taken With Terrier(Border Terrier)
MIK replied to Coyotehunter's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Good to read something different what kind of weight are these coyotes and I would imagine you would need a terrier that's busy and a complete sounder .....how are your brothers doing I have dug with them a few times a few years ago -

Your right and what I like about him is he really does know the craic and he has seen some things and can keep a secret he doesn't go bumping his gums ...he has his own spaniel that he has quite a bond with and it is good seeing him in the beating line the control he has over the dog for an 8 year old ....for me it's about trying to teach them what you consider is the right way of going about Things and respecting quarry too many youngsters I meet these days it's all about the killing .but I have come across a few young lads that are bang on and that is refreshing for me .I just feel sorry fo

There are a few lads on here that have Lamped ,shot,fished ,dug,and hunted hounds with this weeman and will tell you how keen he is and has a bit of knowledge for his young years which comes with exposure and teaching them right and most of all it's keeping good people around them
