jeemes 3,535 Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Yeah people used to let the dogs out on the street and they had a great free life really. Sometimes little kids would knock on the door and ask if our dog could come out to play 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was a Sunday afternoon endeavour we viewed as some sort of mix of stand by me and legends of the fall. in reality we clowned about with ridiculously unsuited dogs and we’re a danger to ourselves more than any wildlife “ I think mines faster than yours cause it’s a red one ! “ 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katchum said: Yip where we grew up you could have a bobbery pack jist off a couple streets an we did most days If you lived in Glasgow, that was prob me I used to borrow staffs, jacks, lurchers, greys, allsorts an had some great fun, all in middle of a big city Did they have all the urban deer and foxes back in the olden days Katchum? I don't remember street dogs round here when I was a kid but I remember getting the shit scared out of me by a pack of mongrels in Manchester while visiting my auntie all black and tan of all shapes and sizes. The dog we used to borrow as a kid was a farm terrier on the moss and we took her on all the others ratting and what a dog she was. If I'd had her as a kid I'd probably still have decendants off her now. If you said rats when she was stood near someone she'd grab them and hump them which was great fun as a kid and the person she grabbed didn't know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,635 Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Used to knock on asking if we could walk their dogs, then take them ratting along the rat infested river, where floating turds were a common sight. Returned them later wet through and stinking but the dogs were happy. One mongrel, Kim, used to swim over and do the opposite bank on his own. Good ratter and cat killer 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good ratter and cat killer I had a dog called Kim, exactly the same, killed cats and rats (and a goat) I remember all the dogs chasing a roe deer, none of the hounds had speed, we talked about that deers escape for months, no adults understood the excitement. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foxdropper 17,092 Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Where I grew up there was a rough end of town ,we called it Beirut but was in fact called Coleman’s farm . The stream that ran into town from that area was always rat infested and you’d often see a small pack of dogs hunting it on their own ,no human intervention at all .I was fascinated by the sounds of the hunt and used to look for those dogs after school .The kids there were in perpetual fight mode with the rest of the town it seemed but I was mates with a few so left alone .One brindle staffy bitch seemed to catch everything and from memory the rest ate what she killed . The stream wasn’t overly polluted ,had sticklebacks ,minnows and loach but people fed the ducks 24/7 and of course the rats loved it .I’ve a very vivid memory of a white fluffy dog shaking the hell out of a large rat right by what was then the co op store in town .No one batted an eyelid .Imagine that now The end of town I lived in was by a cemetery and bordered by an allotment . Kids used to chore the veg so a few had dogs tied up that literally hated people .Black and white things on ropes just long enough to reach the footpath and do your ankles .Those dogs would of seriously hurt a kid if they a hold for sure . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,259 Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Used to take black powder from my mates dads shed put a bit in a rat hole and light it up or spray petrol from the garden sprayer down the hole and wait with a collection of dogs borrowed from people that were happy they were getting walked 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
