It's just a fun summer sport to get them out on the fells. Quote Link to post

Pardus 1,609 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 (edited) What was the coursing comp that a black & white bitch, collie cross, either won or got to the final, I seen it on tape, the comp must have been late 80's or early 90's, it had me hooked. Edited June 26 by Pardus Quote Link to post

Don't quote me but I'm sure the bitch ran against this big red dog in the final and the commentary mentioned that she was struggling in the slop compared to the powerful dog, she was mopping up in the earlier rounds. 1 Quote Link to post

LOL ! Ive told you, my only caveat is I don’t do any digging ! Ive had one terrier in almost 60 years of working dogs, and I was quickly convinced that wasn’t for me ! Ive been out with many good men, and the first thing I say is; “ if I’m doing something I shouldn’t be, tell me. ; if I’m not doing something I should be be , tell me ! “ I’ve never been out with anyone who complained about me afterwards, and I’ve been invited back many times. And that’s , literally, all over the world ! Im really looking forward to seeing you all, but remember , I’m an old man ! LOL ! Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post
