I Havent read the book but I know she puts a fair bit of work into her dogs ,I judged the East of England show with her a few years back,I think she is a genuine lady and a very good judge

Think you only get "slaughtered" if the books crap . Best books are by Darcy, Harcombe, Chapman, Dooley and dare I say it some Plummer books are a good read :ph34r:

I hear that Paul Dooley has done a revue of JD's book in a future EDRD magazine....

darcy books are good for one main reason. hes a real hunter and so are the contributors. no claims of being experts or inventing new breeds.

Can't claim to have read JD's working lurcher book, but her house lurcher volume is the one we always recommend to people newly-converted to pointy-nosed dogs - she definitely knows her running dogs well, and while no-one's ever going to agree with someone else 100%, I'd say she's a safe pair of hands.

Come to think of it, if we agreed 100% on the ideal cross/training aid/recall tip/time to introduce a sapling to live quarry/the lamp of choice/what sort of weather is the lamper's dream/10,000 other things, what on earth would we find to banter about in the bar at ever show every summer?!

 

Damn this weather - doesn't seem to matter how much it rains, the ground here jsut isn't softening enough!
