  1. Mate, you can back peddle as much as you like, but YOU said no one can lift a wild boars leg and knife it !!! You were WRONG, and have been proved WRONG !! By the way, I've hunted pig in North Africa, Eastern Europe, Australia, as well as NZ ! You said killing a boar with a knife couldn't be done, so OBVIOUSLY you HAVEN'T seen It!! Instead of trying to justify your mistake, you should just admit you were WRONG, and let it go, with a bit of dignity !! Cheers.
  2. Are you being serious? He probably is being serious, Stabs, as he has never seen it before ! Although I think I'd prefer the .308 myself !! LOL !! Cheers. What do you mean? I've never seen it before? A picture of you besides a truck holding a rifle doesn't prove anything. I've done a bit, closer to home than NZ, although one of my best pals lives in Nelson, overlooking the river. In France the dogs we used were fox terriers, the pigs weren't stuck though, they were shot whilst at bay. If you want to lick someone's jacksie, crack on, just don't try and mug me off
  3. How old are you mate ? Cheers. Not meant for you, Rio !
  4. Gelert was actualy a MYTH, he never happened !! The same myth is told around the world...a good stoty but no truer than Jack Londons White Fang, or Call Of The Wild" !! Cheers.
  5. Stop readihg books or listening to old men, mate ! The dogs of today are fitter, better fed, better trained and better bred than "the old days" !! Believe me !! Cheers. Whats that mate,, wasn`t listening Don't you agree ???

  7. It makes absolutey no difference if a dog is kept indoors or in a kennel ! They are DOGS, not humans !! I have two in kennels and two in the house, They could swap around, no problem, as my kennels are heated, dry and damp proof ! If your kennels are good enough....then it shouldn't be a question ! Cheers.
  8. Problem is, there is to many young lads getting into Lurchers ! I won't say they are getting into the "game", as probably most of them haven't got a lamp or walked a field !! They are just buying and selling dross, or breeding from the same shit and selling pups to other idiots ! Now, I'm the biggest supporter of young lads getting into the "game", but these are usualy lads who have parents, uncles , friends , in the game !! Proper kids, who will carry on what we do ! But, there are the kids that buy and sell dogs and don't give a shit !! PLEASE young'uns, ask before you buy !! Cheers.
  9. In this day an age that is to be admired mate, i've only bred one. As far as i'm concerned the bitch is as important as the dog, i'd always admire a good bitch over a good dog and there are far more good dogs. So choose wisley, (no offence) but with your years with running dogs behind you, go for your gut not your head, you'll know when something is right, no matter how 'unlikely' that may seem. When I heard about Lima's litter, (Doxhope Knights Errant x Rivington Ena), my gut instinct was to get one ! My "head" then kicked in and I did my home work, including PM'ing the man who bred t
  10. Forget it !! Expensive and no better than a striker or blitz... believe me, I've seen them..just a con. Whatever you are lamping, the gear that's on the market now will do, never mind this over priced shit ! If your dog can't take it's quarry in a blitz, then get a new dog...... not a new lamp !! Cheers.
  11. As soon as he said "mint" in kennel; then it was obvious he was a chavy c**t who shouldn't be allowed to breed ! Let alone have animals !!
  12. What sort of prick puts a pic like that up when they are selling a dog ??? Obviously a f*****g retard !! My blood boils when I see this shit ! I live near there, but don't know who the prick is...... but I'll bet he is on here, and is to tight to pay the donation to advertise, or is just an inbred f****r who knows no better !!

  14. No offence mate, but is that just because you have heard of him, or saw him on dvd, or did you actualy see the dog run ? Cheers.
  15. Bosun, Delta is now 6 1/2 year old, and I'm toying with the idea of having her mated next time she's in. I've never bred a litter in over 45 years of having running dogs, simply 'cause I thought I could bring better in ! People go on about the Stud Dog.. but what abut the bitch ? It would have to be some dog, that I'd let across Delta, but I think I'd regret never having a pup out of her ! Decisions, decisions !! Cheers.
  16. I'm just assuming, but I think the OP had coursing dogs in mind, when he started the thread ? But as we're talking about all types now; I would probably go for a couple I knew in the 60's & 70's. They were what we called "four trick dogs", hunt, jump, kill & carry ! A dog up here in the N.E., Brin, looked like a Deer/Grey, but could have been any cross; he did it all, day and night. I had a bitch, Tic, in the early 70's when we first got into lamping seriously, and she worked without a slip, carried back, alive, to hand, and was a handy dog in the day time ! A Non-Ped Whippet I had,
  17. As I say, I'd prefere the .308... you wouldn't get me near one of those big buggers with a knife !! There are pleanty who do the job with a knife though !! That pic was in Nz 20 odd year ago, and the lads I was with, from Tokaroa, used guns, but they have been known to use a knife at times !! Cheers.
  18. Are you being serious? He probably is being serious, Stabs, as he has never seen it before ! Although I think I'd prefer the .308 myself !! LOL !! Cheers.
  19. Why on earth would you ask a vet for worming gear ??? They're the most expensive route you can go !! You can get wormer anywhere, even Morrissons, Asda, Pets at Home, etc. The internet is even cheaper,try VetMedics, on line. Cheers.
  20. I enjoy watching other dogs work, especialy abroad and on quarry I wouldn't see here. It's great to see other peoples way of working dogs, I'm never to old to learn ! LOL ! Been lucky enough to see some very good dogs of different types, on different quarry. Cheers.
  21. I don't think there is anyone who hunts pig, anywhere in the world, that expects a dog to kill a wild boar ! The dogs will either hold or bail, until the pig can be dispatched either with a gun or knife. Cheers.
  22. Why would you think that ? Cheers.
  23. I lamp with two dogs most nights. I just put both slips over one wrist and put the end of one over my first two fingers, and the end of the other over my other two fingers. If you just want to slip one dog, and the other to watch and learn, get what is called a police lead, or control lead; it will go around your waist and has enought clips and "D rings to make it an ordinairy lead or a double lead, if needed. Cheers.
