    Just seen this and I'm really concerned for you shroom? But being serious for a moment, this old style and traditional show is only made possible by the dedication of one individual and that's Fran!! This remarkable lady and I speak most days! and I know the effort she puts in, she was in great physical pain over the weekend and and still smiled and took this show to the dizzy heights of being one of the best there is? This lass works under a great deal of pressure and fights tooth and nail to give the best for the working dog enthusiast's because she is one of them herself!! she is also m

    I think MLB may have meant me.... My Deer x won the pups on Sunday. I met MLB's daughter last year, during the lamping competition,and was impressed with her. I met her and her mum at Harewood; good dog people !! Cheers.

    An absolutly top two days !! Firstly, thanks to Fran and Aidy for their freindship and generosity! Secondly, thanks to the younger generation, Lee,Kim, and all their freinds for looking after us old 'uns, especialy "Auntie Pam", (I did explain to her what GILF meant !! LOL !!), and last, but not least, cheers to my Jock mates, Tom and Joe; for all that "water of life", that you plied me with when I, (often), visited the Neilston tent !! But for Gods sake, (I know it goes against tradition), but get Joe to wear something under his kilt !!!! He was scaring the dogs, never mind the women !!!! I m

    When the Red Kites were on the endangered list, Harewood, and other places, started a breeding and re-introducing program. They now breed in the wild there, very succesfully. I've watched them over the last three years and there is more of them every year and they are getting bolder. As the marquee's were coming down last night, they were landing within feet of us, picking up the food scraps. Harewood also has a hare conservancy program ongoing. Cheers.

    Yep - thats what i was trying to put into dog terms. Doesn't work that way, or else a long 28" greyhound would be faster than a shorter coupled 25" greyhound, and as we all know, this isn't allways so. Cheers. i,ve seen some short coupled dogs destroy a long 28 inch dog over 100 yards its when the big dog gets in his stride he should take it.some people like big long dogs for there terrain but up here in cumbria anything over 26 inch can,t get opened up cause the fields are to small. I think you're right! A short coupled dog will do better in sprints and running on small

    I don't know the dynamics of it; and I've seen some very fast "short coupled" Whippets and Greyhounds..... but I do like a dog with a good legnth of back. Cheers.

    Looks the same style as Lima, I wonder if the others are as tall and racey looking. Cheers.

    I'm dissapointed the Leek Eaters didn't do it ! I've spent some good times down there. I was there in the 'Arms Park when Wales beat West Germany 1-0, Rushy scoring. I was in a rugby club near Groes Fean and they turned the rugby off on the telly so I could watch Newcastle play !! They made me an honarary member of Ponty Rugby club ! So I've enjoyed my times down there, even if they do have a funny accent !! I was looking forward to the lads coming up to St James', but that isn't going to happen now !! Next season, hopefully !! Well done, the Tangerines !! Cheers.

    Was out first thing this morning with the dogs, and you could see it was going to be a good day. Went to the local Whippet track, the good weather brought a few people out, a few Lurchers there aswell. Gave the dogs a run up, but bloody hell, it was warm. Just had them out local before kennelling them up for the night, and they are lying on the concrete in the run, must be cooler than there boxes. I lived for 26 years in the Middle East, but believe me, I don't like the heat, I prefer the winter, when I can get out and work the dogs ! Cheers.

    I use the log cabins a lot, beginning of the season they are fairly cheap, £140 for four nights, sleeps six, and you get free fishing for all the people you register as using the cabin. Don't just look at the price list, 'phone them and ask about "specials", you also get 10-20% discount if you have used them before. It used to be £10 a dog per night, but has now went up to about £30 a night !!! I just tell them the dogs will sleep in the car; never had a problem. Cheers.

    I didn't put this post and picture up for an argument or to "sponge" a free collar ! I put it up to highlight the excellent quality and service ! I am more than satified with the collars and have had 100% positive feed back on them from people who have seen them, and even on here, there only appears to be one person who questions them. Cheers.

    Dogs and Natives..... we had a very limited night out, .....it wasnt anyones fault, and Bruce beat Delta fair and square that night!! She has NEVER beat Bruce, but he has allways taken more rabbits than her, but even Danny wll concede that the little bitch Delta is a top dog on her day,on things before the ban Cheers.

    why the need for such big collars Whats big about them collars ?? They fit the dogs extremly well !! I've never had SS gear before, in 45 years of having running dogs! But I asked for his gear, and i think it's the best..... You make your own mind up !

    thats decent of ss hope you paid him lol He hasn't PM'd me to say he hasn't recieved the payment....... He may have to fight me for it !!!!! LOL !!!

    why the need for such big collars Let me tell you, mate; I was given a beautiful collar for one of my dogs for judging the Neilston Working Dog Show, but some scroat stole it off her ! My old bitch has run with balling twine and all sorts of gear round her neck, but I'm an old man now, and don't mind my dogs having the best.... they've earned it !! I'm a firm believer in "look after your dogs... and they'll look after you " !! Cheers.

    I PM'd SS yesterday, wanting two collars for my dogs; he PM'd back asking what I wanted, size, colour, fittings, etc. I PM'd him back with the details; he made the collars to my specifications and posted them on the same day..... This is BEFORE he recieved the payment !!! I recieved them today, less than 24 hrs since I PM'd him !! I have a very small circle of friends in the dog game, but this guy is one of the best !!!!! Cheers, mate !!!

    Kielder has been fishing very well for the last couple of weeks, both fly and bait. Ledgered worm with crushed dog biscuits in a swim feeder have been doing well. Cheers.

    Even on permission there are walls, fences, gates, etc, to get over; so if a dog doesn't jump, what do you do..... lift it over them ? Cheers.

    Heres a Deer/Grey pup at about the same age. No resemblance to your pup, but that means nothing. As I say, good luck with it ! Cheers.
