The first dog that was actually mine and not borrowed was a Border collie nearly 25 years ago, not ideal but i used it for bushing ferreting and on the lamp.......

[CarraghsGem 92]

an ex coursing bred retired brood bitch, big ugly red greyhound we named boots, not trustworthy around livestock, roughly 10/11yr old by the time she came to me, had to keep her chained and muzzled cos she'd jump any fence and go hunting cats around the village

 

didnt know much about hunting at the time, only took her rabbiting, she taught me the ropes when i was pretty much clueless

had to put her down after she had a bad stroke, only fault with her was her fierce independant streak that bitch wouldnt wait for anyone
