  1. I'm looking out for a decent bred "all round have a go at most things "type of dog..there's a very limited variety being bred over here I think,mainly Collie/greyhound or bull/wheaten type,or saluki bred that's kept exclusively for hare,..I've plenty of time to see the right type ,next year would be ok even,but I reckon it'll be from over the water I'll have to purchase from
  2. Any photo,. I've a friend that has a few but showdogs.. pedigree animals
  3. Just mind blowing,and the boxes ,cases,lures,boats ,dingys,waders ,loads of varieties of everything
  4. I bought a few bits,their range of fishing gear is mind blowing,but other than tracker collars ,their dog products were almost nil,I got a coat,t shirts etc,the gun section is unreal,...that was the highlight of the time away...
  5. Erm...no! County Tipperary,
  6. Well,it wasn't the best ,tbh....I like to chill,and I was not ready for the speed ,bustle and amount of people that I experienced...I went up the empire state building,boated on the Hudson to statue of liberty,and went to ground zero,all might I add for exorbitant prices and cost,...on the whole I found most folk unpleasant and false ,so on that note I'll say no more,...other than I'm going to be paying off the loan for a while yet lol
  7. Ditch the wife and get another lurcher lol
  8. That shithole,I'm trying to forget that dump lol
  9. Wifi?? Lol...I'd say no hope of wifi down there,but I'll find out soon
  10. I can guarantee you,no one will bother you there,...the only access to it is a forestry road,remote as fuk,full of deer,and sheep...I'm going to try get to it in the next few weeks, unfortunately I can't bring a dog,as their not welcome,so I'll be hiking over and see if it's lived in,there's not even a dirt road to it once you get up the hill parallel to it I'm told,the nearest village is a few miles away,no neighbours,pubs or any other form of life there abouts lol
  11. To live here?....spotted it last Sunday walking
  12. I owned and kept 3 wheatens,but I preferred the staffs ,just a personal choice,the wheatens could do the exact same job and just as good too, looking forward to reading your progress and sport in the future
  13. That's interesting,...can't beat a game mad wheaten lol
  14. Looking at the bottom photo,the dog is fighting the boar rather than taking an ear hold,which is exactly what you don't want I'd guess,
  15. Which other breeds do you refer to?as for the end of a dig back in the day ,when the wheaten was used it was sorted that there was nothing else to focus on other than the pocket and the game,...their created with dollops of bull terrier injected in the past,so it's not a surprise they can be distracted..
  16. That is the only fly in the ointment,once they switch on they are unpredictable as to what they might do next ,it may not be the boar they have zoned in on
  17. First of all ,to work this type of dog, Ie a draw dog ,you need to have good terriers to get the work for them,secondly it has nothing to do with handling game at the end of a dig,...it's about working strong dogs ,but your correct when you say this day and age,the time and politics of keeping such animals for use in the countryside are long gone,..mind one on a wild boar would be a sight to behold
  18. New Zealand feral cat-killing competition for kids is axed after backlash Organisers of an annual hunting competition had announced a new category for children under 14 to hunt feral cats. 15.2k 26 3 hours ago A COMPETITION IN New Zealand for children to hunt and kill feral cats has been scrapped following public outcry, with a major animal welfare group today welcoming the deci
  19. I kept similar in time gone by,.. drawing dogs were part of a lot of men's arsenal way back in the day, different times, different outlook, personally I think you'd be nuts having them about now ,try explaining the reason for having one if raided and woe betide if it's got a few work tattoos,...but I still admire the type,
  20. Fine big lad,if he says your not welcome I'd be inclined to listen
  21. 5 pages and not a dispute or cross word yet!!!!! Un fukin believable
  22. I have to say I never watched much TV,(didn't have one till I was 7-8 )...I still don't,..documentaries or YouTube mostly ..
