D.C. 34 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well Not been online for a while & not posted for longer!!!!! But been Very busy Hunting & getting a new business off the ground! Last week though had a Major set back.........My bitch had a major lamping accident which has basically put an end to her career....& what a career!!... I knew she had another few good years in her!!! but Fete had a different idea!! Now 1k lighter in the pocket & a dog with more Titanium in her than the space shuttle It looks as though I now have to wait until early spring to breed from her to TRY & get a replacement............. Such is LIFE!!!! The dog was a suberb catch dog with phenominal strike that had to be seen to be believed......& even at the reletively young age of 5 1/2 was as determined as a rookie pup to catch whatever she ran.....I think this trait is what made her SO special......& If the vet had asked me to pay 10times what i did I would have Willingly paid it to get the bitch back to her brilliant self!! Can't write too much now Still FAR to RAW! Gem Strike! Quote Link to post
