From my own point of view,id be more interested in the dogs working ability than its looks.I do like a dog thats easy on the eye,but looks wouldnt be top in my list of requirements. My BedlingtonXwhippet bitch 14 months old.

You dont need a licence for an air gun unless it exceeds 12ftlbs,however you can only shoot on your own property or land where you have written permission,and although your unlikely to be jailed using a gun on land where you have no written permission is "trespass with a firearm" and carries very severe penalties.

Have just bought two old books written by A.Croxton Smith from a local antique and reclamation place.Titles are "British Dogs" and "Terriers,Training,Working and Management".Both books were published in the early 40's and even whilst just flicking through i noticed there are several references to "Patterdale Terriers" In one paragraph he refers to terriers working with the fell packs as "Patterdales,also known more recently as Working Lakelands" Only had a chance to flick through them,and will hopefully start reading them later.Has anyone read any of this authors work,or is anybody familiar wi

I'm sure its more to do with size dog on,i.e using the smaller dog over the bigger bitch (whippet bitch being 18.5-20 inch,and the beddy dog being about 17 inch depending on type)so that the bitch wasnt struggling with big pups at the birth. Edited to add,My beddyxwhippet bitch is actually bred WhippetxBeddy the sire being the Whippet.

Mine get rabbit (on the bone and minced) chicken necks,chicken wings,minced whole chicken,breast of lamb,ox heart,and lamb rib and neck bones.If you cant buy in bulk or catch enough fresh,most supermarkets sell chicken wings,breast of lamb,and ox heart and all are reasonably cheap.

The cheaper bulbs are slightly larger and do sometimes get stuck.I'd make sure the bulb is empty turn the gun upside down and try firing the gun with the bulb holder cap removed if that doesnt work try tapping the bulb with something wooden or plastic whilst banging the stock with the pad of your hand.

Generally speaking a heavier pellet will produce a higher ftlb's figure than a lighter pellet,although the reverse is true with a spring powered gun. A bisley mag weighing 21.4 grain leaving a pcp at 502 fps will be almost exactly 12ftlbs,therefore a 16 grain pellet at the same velocity will be producing 8.9 ftlbs.HTH'S,Bill

Rick,its a wee bit early in the year for hokkais and feathers.There would be no Mackeral about and spinning for pollack is better later in the year when the water is warmer.Whereabouts exactly are you going,as you may be able to dig ragworm or lugworm nearby.Clappy doo's and mussels are a good substitute for crab as well and can be very productive at this time of year.If you have no "bottom tackle" i'd try a sliding float rig baited with mussel,rag or clappy doo,it would almost certainly get you some wrasse and maybe even a pollack.HTH'S,Bill

biking to keep the dog fit (paddin)
bill88 replied to saluki bouy's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
My lad does exactly this with one of our terriers (very dog agressive) he does about 4-5 miles a day on the bike with the dog on a lead next to him (holding the lead,not with the lead attached to the bike) Dog loves it,and is super fit.I't would be harder with a bigger dog,but if the dog is reasonably obedient i cant see a problem.You might get one or two "jobsworth" coppers pulling you up,but i think a judge would laugh it out of court if they tried to do you for walking the dog whilst riding a bike. -
Chiffchaff,nice pic

Yep,Louis knows how to insult folk without them knowing.Ive some of his old stuff on DVD,loved the Jimmy Saville,The Hamiltons,and especially the American wrestling ones.

What the f**k have this family been up to?Shannons mother has now been arrested for "perverting the course of justice" and theres speculation that its concerning Shannons dissappearance being an elaborate hoax,in order to get money.While i refuse to buy into the tabloid drivel of rumours,the plot seems to thicken everyday.I for one swallowed this story as being genuine,and now its seems its anything but

Looked christmassy at 9 this morning,but nearly all gone now.

Well im not betting with you (i always lose) Gnasher "Wee Barry" also said that Lacey wouldn't just beat Calzaghe,but that he may do some lasting damage to him.I'm not knocking Khan because of his creed ,colour,religion,i'm just not buying into the hype.He is a decent fighter i would never be ignorant enough to say otherwise,what im saying is he's not as good as they media and Warren would have us believe.I still dont believe his chin or stamina would stand up at world level,and i'm pretty certain that at some point he will be campaigning somewhere around 10,7.I've no doubt Warren could st
-
Im all for nurturing prospects,but Warren just wont put a puncher in front of Khan as he knows the outcome.I'm still not convinced and dont think i ever will be.Even the feather handed opponents he's being spoon fed seem to rattle Khan every time they tag him.Perhaps its a weight thing,as Khan is freakishly tall and large framed for his weight.I will agree that Khan has improved,as he now realises his chin isnt up to much and doesn't stand there trading as he did in earlier fights.As Tommy points out,the world champions at this weight are past there best but i agree,i think both would beat Kha

Thats a nice gesture,well done that forum member.

Come on mate you know and i know that "not for highway use" on an exhaust means: i am an axe wielding homicidal,drug taking,child abusing,wife beating,granny mugging,scumbag.I'm an ex biker and know all about the shit bikers get for minor stuff,when people are frightened to leave there houses as the police are overstretched,and cant protect joe public.I wonder why
