paulus 26 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Had a few over the years from non pedigree to one from the early days of the Sooty Sam dynasty out a bitch called Silk Cut Lady. Great little ferreting dogs, good noses and feet but being so thin skinned they do tear easily, The last blue bitch i had, that i gave to my brother as a pet when she started to suffer with spine problems after some good graft, ended up looking like she had done ten rounds with Edward Scissor hands, Since loosing my last 3 lurchers all in a 6 month period, I think at now if i was to ever consider getting another running dog it would be a whippet.

Daniel cain 48,589 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Some folks will be doing it to the very end I'm sure of that,no matter the consequences... They don't have enough room in the police stations,prisons or the court system for the shoplifters and other life criminals....If 20 k of us all go out this weekend and do what we did before the ban and said f**k it....the system would collapse...they couldn't even make a fraction of the call outs and deal with us....never understood why we all just didn't carry on regardless at the start and said f**k you to Labour,B.A.S.C,L.A.C.S and all the other organisations that hung us out to dry... instead we all rolled over and accepted it...come on here and argue the colour of shite Quote Link to post

chartpolski 27,837 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 The only thing that the ban affected for me is I can't attend official coursing meets. I can still go to "unofficial " coursing meets, fox hunts, I still go lamping, ferreting, and daytime coursing. The only thing that may stop me in ten years time is the fact I'll be 80, and even if I can't physically go hunting, I'll still have a dog just in case I put something up on my daily walk to the Allotments , if I'm still alive then, of course ! Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post
