No of the blind dog well and he was got from Monahan with a bitch aswell,the bitch got a slap of a car on a road and was killed' and there was only one dig to him in Waterford, and when the lads dug down to him there was no game' but the dog was f**ked, the blind dog only stayed in Waterford for about 8 months and was shifted on to Cork....the blind dog was 100% old Nuttal breeding with a white star on his chest....Mush

Thats correct,P K dought the Blind dog one evening on a farm in leitrim. He was passing the area on his way home from somewhere further north. He later sold on the dog. Blind Dog was called Butcher at the time PK bought him. He was probably about 3 or 4 yrs old. He was mostly Nuttall blood. His father was a dog called Tiny bred from a dog called Jetson and a bitch called Pitch. Jetson and Pitch both came directly from B Nuttall. Butcher's dam was half Nuttall blood and her sire was Blackie unknown breeding. Blackie looked like a strong lakeland type. Very good dog. Hard but had a brain. handled himself very well.

thanks,good information,are many people keeping tight lines off the blind dog and bosco or is the blood back a bit now.

[snizle06 202]

the only reason the blind dog was sold in the begining was because the chap that had him was doing his leaving cert at the time or so i was told

Neil/Fionn does that blind dog originate from cork by any chance?

 

There was a very well know white dog bred,worked and died in Cork, called "The Blind Man". He was one of 3 main Sire's of the Cork white line, that still being worked by a lot of people.
