Not maybe someone sending there lurcher to work cover n find itself a run lol ?

It was more bull than runner mate, plus from the hill top I was on I could see for miles in all directions and it was hunting totally alone, I watched it cover several fields plus a small wood between them and not a person anywere around,

The Hunting Life.

The only place where you can truly pick a fight in an empty room.

What were you glassing for out of interest ? 

What I,m always looking for mate, I find quite a few things by watching animal behaviour, magpies and jays are the best at tracking, they home in on kill sites and go mental if a preditor is about, even some domestic animals like horses are very good at letting you know what's about by there behaviour, my bino,s are always on the dash or round my neck, they allow me to cover lots more ground than just walking it,

More plausible than a Big Cat story......

Wish I could say I,ll still be around in 20/30 years mate, as I think you may possibly be the one out of the sceptics on here to do a full 180 and even have your own encounter by then, train lines like quarry,s are normally close to most sightings so your in the right place, just keep your eyes open

Pretty meaningless really. Work dogs in January in water and watch em wither! Water strips energy from a dog like nothing I’ve seen. It can be the difference between a dog doing an hours work or a full day.

Being ‘dead game’ means f**k all when your body is shutting down.

But then all a lot of fellas these days care for is how game a dog is... Couldn’t give a f**k for the multitude of other traits a dog needs.

Kerney is more into fishing. He is too busy fishing for bites on here to have time for chasing pussy around the countryside.

Chesapeake bay retriever would be a good example of what your talking about. Tough dogs swimming around in icy water for a full day. Apbt wouldn't last 20 minutes.

True but a Chesapeake Bay retriever couldn't run around all day in the Mojave desert without overheating in a couple of minutes like my ABPT can... Hounds for grounds and all that.

Exactly , horses for courses. If everyone liked the same breed it would be a boring world.

Another type I like the look of. Think they’re huntaways. The black and the Black and Tan anyway.

Most of those feral dogs though seem to revert back to dingo types,sandy coloured things,if they are breeding wild in the scrub far from man for generations as they do in Australia are they ferals or are they wild?Defenition of feral is something that's living wild after escaping domesticity,generations down the line I would think they are truly wild having never known captivity?

Sorry I didn't explain myself ... Are they a separate species of dog or just mongrels that have escaped captivity and are starting to breed to type

[ChrisJones 7,973]

Can we agree that the word feral is acceptable to use to describe the transition from domesticity to the wild?
