mole trapper 1,702 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Buddy if he has the right stuff with a bit of carefull bringing on a five bar gate will be a peace of pi.., back in the eighties i had a dog called fly from a kc line of coursing whippets, he would pile into foxes lamp rabbits, he was rarely beaten in straight racing or simulated throughout the south and west wales region and jump, well he could jump. His moment of fame came at Newbury think 94, he was put in for the high jump any dog could enter, long story short he and a police GSD were the last two competing against each other for the prize, Fly did not run up he used to spring straight up, he got up to eight foot two inches, his front legs were hooked over but now he was seriously struggling and i pulled him out, the GSD made it with a struggle and obviously won. What a dog, my ex missus had him put down to spite me when i was not around after we fell out, Fuc..g bitch, one day. Quote Link to post

mole trapper 1,702 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Eggy and countrymaid, you think thats bad, you aint heard nothing. But this isnt the place for that sort of thing, but i will add in seven years she stabbed me, broke numerous objects over my head and once while i was asleep attacked my face with a stilleto heeled shoe, oh and tried to stab me a second time in front of a social worker, bless her she is a very emotional lady, but i got a son to be proud of out of it , so its not all bad. ooops and of coarse i have FPO now that i wouldnt have if i hadnt left before the psycopathic bitch managed to kill me.

OEH 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Tess is 19" and can jump five bar gates. This is the only photo I have, but she can jump a foot higher easily and about 2 foot higher if she can bank it. Quote Link to post
