the match

[Guest markbrick1]

mark i wish you and your dog well, fingers crossed you shut some of these fen runners up....atleast your out and about doing it, where id dare bet alot of the anti mark brigade are to busy on the buttons to put into there dogs what it seams you put in to yours, so my hats off to you.... before i get jumped on , no iv never ran fen hares nor ever seen them run in person, so cant comment on what it takes to catch one,or used to take to catch one but what i can say is i run ground that holds similar numbers of rabbits to marks, and can say that on such ground, you can slip your dog for a rabbit, a short run,its picked up, brought back to hand, bagged, lamp on , dog away, and so on and so forth if you do this around a 20 or 30 acre park taking 30 or 40 humble bunnies it surely adds up to alot of running over a long period of time, to me this requires a dog with alot of lung, and a dog with such a capacity should surely be fit enough to hold its own on other things in other places.. either way good luck too you BOTH

Alot of these anti mark brigade as you put it Ali are out there doing it ,catching plenty of quarry and have decent dogs but dont blow there own trumpets

agree with you there marks got a chance but put NO in front of it

[Guest markbrick1]

Would I be right in thinking that the whole reason the comp is being run in Nov (as opposed to Dec/Jan - normal matching months) and the slips are set at 50yds (instead of 100) because Miles is a gentleman who has done everything possible to accomodate his guest? If he wanted to make some easy money he would run Mark at around Xmas time and they would hold on to the dogs slips for a bit longer, that way Mark's dog would have no advantages?

 

Of course I could have just picked all of this up wrong? These long, tiresome threads all seem to blur into each other after a while my apologies in advance if this isnt the case

 

 

As it happen I didn't realise it was November and fifty yards starts instead of one hundred, so a man could be forgiven for thinking concessions have been made to accomodate Marks dog, which, to my mind anyway kind of defeats the purpose of the whole competition.

NO CONCESSIONS MATE,DEFINATLY NOT

perhaps its because you are a shit shot only ever caught a cold out fishing your terrier jibbed on a cub and your dogs havnt got enough brains to to do a decent job at ferreting ................

from the outside looking in, out of pure interest, i kind of get the feeling what a bunch of wining b****es you lot are! it seems that no matter what 'concessions' are made (excuse me i think its called making a level playing field through compromises so that all is equal for dogs) you have to snipe about it. and then its 'if markbrick dog wins it counts for nothing'. Call yourselves sporting men? more like pre-menstrual whiney teenagers. no one minds a bit of good spirited psyching banter but you lot aren't running your dogs against miles or mark so just let them get on with it! if you were then have a go. and yes im newish before you have a go at me and i know bugger all cuz i don't run dogs, but come on..........SORRY MODS! good luck may the best dog WIN!
