    aye, I probably have it wrong, he did say it the dog was mainly saluki with a bit of greyhound, I don't know the breeding. he did say the dog is about 9 year old and a really good dog in the field,

    Window cleaner has an Alsatian bitch (protection stuff), he keeps it round his place for guarding, excellent with children very protective, anyhow his Saluki lurcher dog (7/8 sal 1/8 grey) stuffed her (accidental breeding), 6 pups, offered me one but unfortunately I don’t have the time for it. The sire he tells me is out of the Red dog Saluki.

    Yes Neil there was a strain of Lakeland brought to Newry I believe in from Dundalk, a few of us had them, they were known to throw the occasional chocolate one. The grandfather of the one I had was chocolate, one bark if even, near mute and any fox was dead if you didn't get in quick enough. Mine wasn't a fox killer but he worked them tight, grips on most. Not sure of the blue, but they were hell of strain, gone now I believe.

    Tandragee was great, one of the earlier shows in the year, memories of that show that stick out for me was the strong dog class and the lurcher jumping, I remember a chocolate/ liver collie xthe heights he was scaling was unreal. A pile of us headed up from Newry, had a great day out, then back home to the pub for far too much drink, good craic tho,

    As there has been a few discussions about the Tandagree show, I won working Lakeland and overall working terrier with that dog above - not sure, Neil but you might have been judging, was about mid 90's

    Seen 3 wheaten crosses in the field, first was, 3/4 wheaten 1/4 staff x Russell, very good dog worked till he was about 13 years old, second was a son out the first put to a straight half Russell/ Lakeland, only seen this dog and a few digs, didn't impress, third was a Wheaten / Russell bitch, straight half I believe and was small, pts 2nd season too much abuse, seen a straight half wheaten / patterdale in the yard looked like he seen a bit, too big for my liking,

    When I first started out in the game a fair few years ago, I was at a mates kennels, he was an ex club man, kept a few terriers, lurchers etc I was there to buy a ferret, his lurchers & terriers were housed in block pens outside the pen was a dog box, when I walked in2 the yard a Wheaton (it was a 3/4 Wheaton 1/4 staff, but threw well to the Wheaton) walked out of the box, he was on a chain, didn't growl, bark or anything like that and the chain was loose, I remember the dog was just staring, my mate just said calmly "dont get too close to him" just knew rightly that dog knew the length of

    As per neil's post, hence my original question, don't see the need for a heavy dog these days & I imagine wud attract unwanted attention in the field,

    Brillant photos, looks like you had an excellent day out

    At the end of the day, if it's the man's dogs and it's his hunt why shouldn't he want to take a pic of his dog working, I wish I had of taken couple of pics at the time of dogs no longer around so I could look back but hey ho I didn't but I won't condone any man doing it. However folk do need to be careful/ sensible on how they share any photos. As for lifting a dog out at the end of a dig, there's no haste unless the dog is in danger or taking abuse or something along those lines. Seen guys to quick to lift the terrier, then realising the target was not in a blocked end etc. Let the dog work

    Mate of mine had this x, not sure if it was a first X, he had her for 13 years, best lurcher he even owned he said, brillant all rounder, she was only 23.5 inches tts, surprisingly - I remember when I first started (over 20 years ago) & he asked me to hold her on the slip, terrier was in at a fox in rock pile, he said if the fox bolts make sure u slip her, if she sees it and u don't slip she'll nail ya. She never did, I found her placid and quiet enough on the slip but I do remember other mates heading in opposite direction when he asked someone to hold her round a dig etc. Lol
