p3d 879 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 The Yellow Earl. A good read of a period in english history when hunting and dogs were the norm. 5th Earl of Lonsdale, reputed to have his own strain of working terrier. He kept a record of the breeding of his hounds and terriers. A man who lived life to the full. 10 Quote Link to post

p3d 879 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 It is a good one p3d FF, The story of this mans life you really could not make up. His older brother was schooled to inherit and become the wealthiest man in Britain. Hugh Lonsdale never remembers a time when he was not in the saddle, he dodged school and went out on his fathers estate, riding, shooting, hunting and living a will life. A mans life. he loved fighting (Boxing), the Lonsdale belt was named after him. His father totally ignored him and he grew to love the 70,000 acres around his home. He loved horses, working dogs of every type. Sold his title and went to America. His brother died and he returned to take over the fortune at a very young age. Spent the rest of his life blowing all of the money on what he loved. If a terrierman had a dream and won the biggest lottery, you could live the life like this man. What a life 5 Quote Link to post
greenshank1 407 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 BB 's Tides Ending / Dark estuary and Manka the Sky Gypsy probably the best wildfowling books ever written. Ian Niall's , Poachers Handbook is a classic for kids. Hugh Falkus sea trout and salmon books are awesome reads for anyone interested in fishing Lurchers and Longdogs by Walsh , dated but first hunting book I read when I was a kid. 3 Quote Link to post
