    Benidorm is shutting up shop at midnight by official decree. That is so short sighted. Thousands of displaced old folk are going to be unleashed upon us ?

    Only panic buying out here was at the special offers racks. Plenty of bog rolls to go around.

    Same here. We were intending travelling down to the north-west coast of Spain near to Santander then cutting inland to the source of the Ebro and following the river down to the Med' with a bit of fishing on the way. We will probably postpone it until later in the year and go somewhere more local in France instead. I can't help thinking that there is something we aren't being told.

    I use Lynx body spray for protection against women and young girls. So far it has worked 100%.

    I see Italy has gone into total lock down just as the immigration situation is escalating.

    It has happened before Gnasher. Ohi Day, October 28th, 1940 when little Greece stood up to Hitler and denied his demand for free access into Greece. It cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and they never were fully re-paid the amount of compensation levied by the Allies Repatriations Committee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohi_Day

    Even Stevie-G couldn't blow it this year - could he? ?

    Rubbish! Don't believe a word. You can't wipe your arris on candles and spuds.

    Politicians should be doubly worried. After all, most of them speak through their arris.

    Tony Bliar is a good shout. But I wouldn't have the others anywhere near my rissole.

    I've got photocopied photos of Richard Branson, Piers Morgan and Noel Edmonds hung up in the khazi. Makes going a real pleasure.

    The problem is that you can't find enough GSDs that haven't been ruined by the KC. Mallies only got a look in because of the shortage of genuinely good GSDs. The dogs that come from Eastern and Central Europe ain't GSDs. They have a rough, grizzelled coat and the first batch we bought were really good but once the breeders saw the £££'s they started sending all sorts of crap over. Top and bottom is that there aren't enough GSDs of the specification the breed was designed for. Mallies are 10kg lighter and Rotties have to be trained at an early age to work away from the handler otherwise th

    Most forces have their own breeding or recruiting systems. It is very parochial and the only times that dog handlers would mix with those from other forces would be at dog trials or district training courses. He might be the biggest wheel in the Met' but we would have absolutely no idea of who he was in sunny South Yorkshire, and vica-versa.

    No. It is a big organisation and I didn't meet everybody. ?

    This Belgian Police vid is interesting. Even the handler cops for it ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4moJqmTtBgg

    Yes, I had two general purpose dogs (find 'em & bite 'em dogs) and spent a bit of time in the dog training dept sourcing and assessing new dogs. As I said earlier; it was good at the time.

    A lot of dogs bite through fear and collies are probably one of the worst breeds for that. The police / prisons / army test the dogs before they are trained to bite. Sometimes though because of issues with finance, time and politics some dogs get through the screening that are never going to protect the handler. You were always told to get a bite under your belt early on after finishing training so that you knew that you could trust your dog to defend you. Some handlers though were happy to have non biting dogs because they never intended going into situations where the dog would be tested.
  19. Nicepix
    First thing is to test the dog otherwise you are wasting your time. If the dog won't go forward and protect you from a threat then it will not be worth training it.

    It's not just about biting a sleeve. There is little or no risk to that exercise. Some dogs will happily bite a sleeve all day long. But will they hang on when the 'criminal' fights back? The police test the dog's willingness to face danger before they train it to bite. A schutzhund dog does not need that quality as it is never going to be tested. A lot of dogs bite for the wrong reason. Fear biting is one of the worst traits to have in a dog and can be very difficult if not sometimes impossible to train out of them.
  21. Nicepix
    Great just for the training aspect, but don't ever think that a schutzhund dog will actually protect you. The problem with this is that the dogs never get really tested under real pressure. It is all a game. Some will go forward. Others will fold. You never know until the time comes. Same with the tracking and searching. Unlike police dogs the schutzhund dogs never get a bad deal. Every exercise is guaranteed to give the dog a reward. So, if you put them to the test in a less than perfect environment some get confused. As I say, it is a good way of getting something out of the dog,

    Couldn't they find anyone who said that they wanted Moyes? ?

    Out moling today. 60 kph gale, torrential rain all morning and heavy showers in the afternoon interspersed with sunshine and a hail storm. 14 calls and glad to be home. Looks like the same tomorrow ?
  24. Nicepix
    Yep. Sometimes on mole hills as do badgers.

    This is exactly why Bo-Jo is intending to drop the obligation towards the European Court of Human Rights. Turkey have been holding 3.7 million refugees back in return for payments from the EU. Now they have opened the gates allowing tens of thousands to cross into Greece. Next week it will be hundreds of thousands. It is very difficult to re-patriate failed asylum seekers because of the shyster lawyers and the HRA. If the UK takes the step of leaving the ECHR then returning failed asylum seekers will be more straight forward.
