Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 If it’s really your passion then you’ll have dogs regardless of what obstacles are in the way. Whether it be missus, kids, work etc etc. The comment above about guns not needing walking, feeding etc is what really makes me dislike the gun crowd’s mentality, there’s no effort or dedication involved when compared to what genuine dog lads put in day to day. 5 Quote Link to post

Sorry mate I wasn’t having a personal dig at you, just at the general gun type men that lift the gun out the cabinet now and then and go and obliterate whatever they can. Another thing I hate is the saying ‘If you shoot a fox then 2 will come to it’s funeral’ which is a regular one I’ve heard from rifle men to somehow justify the numbers they shoot. Quote Link to post

Yeah don’t worry about it , When I retire I’d get another dog depending on living circumstances, either a whippet or terrier 3 Quote Link to post
joe ox 2,547 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Failed dog men have a tendency to swap to shooting, they were never serious with running dogs in the 1st place IMO 5 1 Quote Link to post
