Easy spots in soil every time. Young dog can grip with his feet going forward and back " if that's its style" if you have to smash in its very noisey and hazard filled.A fast bolt is great but don't always happen. Soil,dirt for me every time with young guns. IMO.

Beware of drains etc, for me ground every time, I've had some absolute nightmares in drains,pipes,etc. Even after working them for years.

Like most I've started a few fellas, most have gone behind my back to my permission,some have really upset me by breeding behind my back, using my name for there own gain from blood that I've gifted them.
Most for me now are unable to get out of bed on a regular basis!!!
I'm fortunate to get out several times a week, I just drive bye now if their not ready.RELIABILITY IS EVERY THING.
Do i carry on!! on my own? but for how much longer? Knees are screwed! Tendenitis in my elbows, ah well. "Time waits for no man"
I see it finishing !!! FB idiots are doing half the job for the other side.
THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ALONE!!
Before the trolls get going.

Mine will finish with me, I'd rather let the working lakeland become extinct, before I bow to em. I've had lads ask for half the litter for stud fee. MADNESS. Got a very hard b+t here and a baying red dog for folk to use. Too close to mine for breeding.

Hope my missus don't see this thread. She'd trade em in for holiday in the sun. Wish I'd got GM to sign my editions, how much would they be worth?

I was gifted a nice little black bitch today,after having a bad run of it last season or so. Only 6 months but the hard works done with her, she'll be going for next season once school starts. There are still genuine lads about thankfully.

Like I said "delusional" read the post! I personally think it was written to encourage arguments. Why be so aggressive IN CAPITALS if not written for conflict.

Delusional.... One dog against a foe twice or more its weight underground for hours in that creatures environment.... Or multiple dogs after an animal weighing a few ounces, chased out of its home by smoker or tractor. I certainly think this will be debated, for me no comparison. IMO

Bad un, I know how it feels. Always seems to be a good one that's lost.

My two lakies were in the mix today, five different digs, over the day. All accounted for and we bolted a brace to run in the rain. I'm happy enough!!!!! Off tmw then on it again Monday. Happiness

Solid little lad, hope he comes good for you. Yes Fatman the breed is fading. Look back to the 80's and 90's to see what has gone in our time. We need enthusiates to keep and test em proper, not chasing red rosettes.

Yep me also, whatever the trend, I like em " worts an all" they suit me.

No I'm relatively new here, I always have a lakie about me, I like em. These were not off Gary directly but have lots of his stuff through them. Like I said they do for me. I'm only out 3 or 4 times a week, so not as good as some on here!!!!!
-
I have em, they are out there, they do for me. Old Middleton lines,I work some very rough ground with these characters. No pics posted from me of my dogs sorry. I've got reds and B+T. I get by, with em every week so their doing something right.

Well we are going proper now, lots of game about. Terriers are fit and working well. Couple of young guns are showing well, time and work is catching up with some of the older guys, great to see young blood coming good but sad to see those old uns with time catching em up. " guess its the same for us" !!!!
-
Nice smart type, how's the lucky lady bred?

??? Here we go again.

Don't think Bill would be happy with this thread,he was very kind to me but ruthless with many who knocked his door.
Bill's dogs had faults as they all do, the perfect dog has yet to be bred!!!!!

Could be but lads, I've dug with since a kid still turn up on time, turn out in the rain, ASK before breeding my stuff! Etc. My daughter has more drive and ethics. Often tipping out at 3am for our trips,not a great digger but will back fill and is like Florence nightingale on a hard worked warrior.
