times they are a changing

[Guest grubygrafter]

Was talking to a farmer friend the other day about how much things have changed over the last twenty/ thirty years. and how difficult it is to deal with the things we used to. he said well maybe its time to change your aproach and adapt. so i expained that i had been working terriers for as long as i could remember and it aint as easy as all that.

 

he told me sometimes you got to change to survive.and seen as i am no spring chicken and i am surrounded by geriatric dogs i am at a crossroads and the timeing could not be better.

 

so i thought ide ask what you lot think.

 

i will always work dogs to some degree and i have a boy keen on ferreting so comming away from hunting altogether is out of the question.

could you change your chosen fieldsport and if you could what would you do

 

thanks in advance. andy

Hi Grubygrafter as another option for running dogs you could try racing or lure coursing but that will never replace the real thing good luck
