I have already thanks jok both personally and in the original thread in the countryside skills section. But feel he deserves more. tuesday last week my dad had a stroke, tried to sleep it off and then had another the morning after, luckily he’s still himself mentally and is still in good moods and his personality is the same. However he has got some brain damage, lost use of his right eye and his right arm and leg are dodgy. But could of been worse so everyone’s happy. I posted on the countryside skills section asking just how hard it would be to make him a nice stick rather than the

2lads from Falkirk went to the shop and bought boxes of Mars bars made flasks of tea and battled through the blizzard to hand them out to drivers stranded on the motorway. Then there was the c**t on the news complaining about being stranded on the motorway for 16 hours with his wife and 7 month baby calling the emergency services "pathetic". Nah mate you're the arsehole who took a kid on a journey when there was plenty warnings NOT TO TRAVEL! Especially with a baby!

What a great afternoon... kids were off so I picked them up off the Mrs at midday and had some dinner in the caf watching the snow get heavier, had an hour or 2 at the office, but with blizzard worsening headed home.. it's all farm tracks to mine.. good fun drive... then a couple of hours in our back field on sledges with a few other kids.. all off tomorrow so the Mrs has put a face book invite out to the village to all come down the farm and sledge in the back fields, looks like we've half the village over tomorrow.. we'll do some hot drinks and a bit of grub, nice to pull the litt

My buddy who got me into the dogs

No excuse for baiting

its blokes who dont do any manual work they have time to exfoliate and spray tan they eat salads because they carry weight if they eat normal food like fry ups & beef dripping ... they dont burn the calories off sat looking at a pc screen & become fat fuckers .. the lads who do a physical job are to tired to bother with this metrosexual caper because there f****d & asleep

Well I went out in this weather, this morning lads, wanting a true challenge and got two. First intentions was Kaiser`s training as I`ve been training him solidly for 18 months or so to mark regularly used rabbit runs for me as it shows me exactly what`s going on with the warrens. So with the snow, prints and rabbit/ fox movements he was getting treats as he was marking/ pointing, exactly right every time. Here`s a well used run he has pointed on and well petted and treated for. So I went to inspe

With the foul weather the last few days, the ground is like bell metal and under a good covering of snow. I took my hardiest of dogs with me to check on some sheep for a neighbour. As usual, she was hunting up the reed beds, but I'm guessing the weather had driven most of the game to more sheltered ground. Not one to come home empty handed this bitch, I watched her switch from the reed beds to the drainage ditches . At first I thought she was hunting up fox that had used the drains for shelter from the wind but he reaction told me otherwise. She was hunting up snipe that had moved into the las

And to me FD, that's when you know what you've got. Dogs that bay away at green stuff all their lives are never truly tested, surely? Sometimes the game doesn't want to be dug, and when you have that dog that still gets them animals, then you've cracked it, until the next mating at least

sorry last pic went to wrong post another good barn hunt

Don’t encourage the silly cxxt,this could be a good thread with the likes of jambalaya posting some good pics,I personally like to see what lads from Australia & the USA get upto with there dogs.

I started keeping working terriers around '86 and the lads who showed me the ropes had all dug Badger legally and taken part in trials. Back then they seemed to have two schools of thought regarding the entering of terriers. Some lads preferred to enter them starting at the bottom of the ladder by rats, foxes and then the almighty badger, but the man who showed me the ropes was a 100% Jack Russell fancier who told me he used to enter his terriers to badger first to show his terriers some discretion. If he entered them to fox first they might become hard, learn how to kill one and then when the

And that's why we love terriers, there's so much of a grey area with them. I've seen dogs start hard and stay hard, start hard and steady up, start steady and end up wafflers, start hard and spew when they don't get their own way and lastly, start steady and become harder with the more confidence they build up.

Right I'm tiring of her now... shes just come downstairs and told me a bloke in the village is stuck at the hospital where he works, his Mrs has put a post up asking if anyone with a 4x4 could get him home... oh yes says my lovely wife... my husband will be more than happy to come and get you... great says his wife, he finishes at 8-30... great says I.... 10 mile round trip for me lol...

There's plenty of those tits about. We had a couple on our old estate when we were kids Had one stood at our gate once, gobbing off at my brother. ........ Typical sort - tracksuit bottoms, hoodie, hadn't seen a bar of soap for a while, staffie in a big leather harness with a big security chain for a lead. My brother eventually had enough him and, punched him in the mouth. Then, quick as a flash, the blokes own dog span round and bit him on the knee - it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen ....... That twat walked with a limp for at least a yea

when i was younger i liked a terrier that would could get hold, now i like a terrier that does not gives the quarry a second of peace and can still be the boss with out getting hold of the sharp end

Right, as there have been a few threads where the problems in dear old Blighty have been the subject of conversation it has obviously been on my mind....... And I have come to a conclusion....... SALAD !! i was in a little Italian coffee shop in darkest Clerkenwell in dear old London Town today waiting for my sausage sandwich and cup of tea..........and as I waited a constant stream of bearded skinny metro sexual types, sporting beards that had more work put into them than the Sistine chapel and talking in that f***ing annoying voice that always sounds happy and enthusiastic abo

It don’t fill you up and as wilf quite rightly pointed out it tightens your jeans makes you talk funny and grow beards , not taking any chances so added a few faves while I’m snowed in ?

In what way? Had running dogs 30 years , collie / grey, bed / grey, bull / grey, lurcher to lurcher, saluki / grey, all dogs have taken the lot excelled at stuff that there breeding was intended for but everyone of them were never stupid enough or inexperienced enough to chase after bunnies in the distance next to hedges or burrows, that's real fella?

First day of spring.... roll on summer!! Lol

No it’s true mate the dealers are out helping folk giving them free bags of bugle thers a green station been set up with a Afro bbq attatched . Huge tents have appeared by the London roads with the refugees we have helped over the last few years giving something back to ther community it’s wonderful to see the sponging lazy arse scum bags help the aged and infirm close to them wher normally they be selling crack to the young kids ? it’s heart warming to witness the vibrant inner city pull together in these harsh times ️

Been windy in Norfolk all day and it's the drifting that keeps shutting the smaller roads,i had to walk out to help a mate out as he was stuck and i couldn't get to him in my ranger.Just as i got to him after walking 3 miles across country with a spade he got pulled out by a tractor,i called him a dick for driving out in these conditions then turned round and walked back home ...

Been watching the news and makes me happy to see the community spirit and folk helping others. Broken Britain my arse. When the chips are down we go that extra mile

I would f***ing sack that idea .......

And the opposite can happen whereby a"bruiser" turns into a bayer. Cheers, D.

Managed to get a half decent vid of the dogs

looks nice and cozy bud.....but, is that the same camera that they use for big cat sightings.......

Parabuteos Lad , asked a bout a stick for the auld fell so here it is. I'm hoping he both likes and that it helps him on the road to recovery. Nice seasoned hazel shaft, waxed and buffed, brass ferrule and most importantly a lovely saluki looking solid brass handle which is actually screwed onto the shaft. Jok.

JMHO but there are some good lines out there who's breeders have only ever bred baying types to baying types and no doubt about it they are the hardest type to breed. The secret IMO is a good breeder doesn't need to see injuries to know he has heart in his terriers. Steady baying types can have plenty of heart and they often get more work done for longer periods than the harder type. But for a line of terrier to work as steady baying types and stand the test of time (not just one or two generations) they need a good breeder behind them with a good stockmans eye because heart is something that

Her stock is coming to now lads. Her 6th very light coat of Walnut oil.

Fare play to you bud and i know she's a pain but those health workers deserve a bit of help back...

Seen it before..... Shocking, exactly why certain breeds should not be made available to the plastic gangsters that frequent inner-city shit holes?

a good day in the barns

Or comes away

The rag heads have hunted the deserts to emptyness and 99.9% of those runs are with dropped game,load of old shite all of it if you ask me and i'd rather watch paint dry..

Well, we have all got to get by,.. as best we can... However,.the fact of the matter is. it takes a lot of effort to produce Vids and DVDs,... We would all go for a cheap copy, as opposed to paying full price,...it makes sense to do so... But,..facts are,...the copying of the tapes has ensured that very few new films will ever be made ... Possibly the future lies via the streaming facilities provided by the Internet...? I've reams of original SVHS footage, going back to the early 70s/80s,...so many familiar faces,.. doing their thing... It would be a shame not t

I have to admit I have always preferred blokes with that '' lived in look'' There always to tired to want to make idle convo about things like '' spread sheets '' I rather have a bloke who smells of swarfega & carbolic than '' satchel man'' who can recite the ingredient list of '' cleanse & polish '' & the new Elimis range

You were a kid that always used the carrot for the nose then eh.

Well, I got robbed during the night. I had this for sale yesterday but nobody bought it and I left it out for today. When I came out early this morning most of it was gone.

Warm water freezes quicker than cold

Says someone who shags a snowman couldn't make it up

Just the subject is picking there runs and 100% sounds like a dumb ass dog running through fences to catch.I feel some hunters would cull a dog for using its bush sense and breed from a psycho speed machine,thus losing working ability and sense in their animals.I'm not talking coursing dogs but dogs that spend day in day out in rough country.They are giving 100% but in a smart way even when it looks like there jacking.

Where's Rippem?He's normally got plenty to say for himself.

I went out for breakfast this morning. The place was packed so I sat outside with the dog. It was brisk at -3ºC but no wind. I ordered steak and eggs for me and got a side order of sausages for the dog. Coffee only in this gaff. Truck rolls up, rancher gets out with his dog and sits at the table next to me. Nods and puts his revolver on the table as he's sitting down. Looks me up and down. "Is that your Dodge?" "Yep" "That's a f*ck*n nice truck, man. Is it the Cummins?" "Yep" (Nods approval) He orders steak and we both eat in silence. The dogs occasionally growl a

I mean think about it, back in the days of Richard the lion heart or Henry the Eighth they would sit down to gargantuan feasts of everybtype of Roast meat and then f**k every tart in sight and cut a bloody swathe wherever they went...... Later on the lords would hold giant shooting days, sit down and eat a whole Red stag then trot off to give Jonny foreigner a good kicking...... Lad full to the brim of bully beef stormed up the beaches of Normandy to deliver death and destruction to the hun..... Grim faced men who ate nothing but steak and chips on a Tuesday swam 8000 miles to t
