just wondering the same thing,someone touched a nerve or what?
-
they can have a decent gallop on it,no idea in mph but any faster needed get on the bike with the dog.
-
Whister I dont have any decent terriers these days,I had to give them away due to a considerable ammount of family problems.I'm trying to get a few decent dogs again.I wont ever be as active digging wise as I was before but still do a nice bit when the oppertunity arises.

NOOOO Paddy that was in the 60's when I was just a filthy thought in my dadas mind Are you trying to say the reason I had big bags was because the rabbits were all myxi,you scoundrel you I think pistols at dawn are in order SIR. i'm into patting on the head too but only if shes on her knees and doing a damn fine JOB(get it JOB!!!!!!) Yeah and a half penny seems a fair price too,

Boots believe it or not the burrow was on the land of a cop.He was sound out and originated from the country.He rang us everytime the thing looked active.Diggory what you see here is only a fraction of what I went through in a 20 year period.I had a fair ammount of shit amongst the few good uns and I bred some of them myself,but thats how it goes.

Paddy your going on hearsay I expect as you were still a filthy thought in your dadas mind then There was lots more rabbits about then too and we had the run of the country,no problem getting permission.Things were much simpler then and we had youth on our side I feel a blue period coming on)Those were the days Paddy me lad, i used to go out in the winter a 4 p.m. and get back for 11 or 12 with a great big bag of bunnys and a dam tired dog.

Spindolero you have me sussed I'll probably bore you to death soon with all this shit What the hell keeps me from fighting with the wife JD that bitch got loose one time and pulled lumps from her mother,the E.B.X.she was an evil horror but what a dog to work.We were walking past a water pipe one day and she was loose,she shot up the pipe and in no more than 5 minutes she dragged out a fox that was laid up there and she had him mangled in that time.She had her face lacarated and never made a sound,she was bloody possesed I tell you.

Old school I havnt had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Parr,dont know anything about him.The wheatons I had came from the same bloke.He had 3 wheatons,1 was the pure bitch I had,the other was the half bred I had and a big dog.I didnt like the dog as he was real rangey.The wheaton was crossed by a working russel type,accidental mating.I bought 2 but at 9 months old 1 caught a cat and killed it and ate most of it.I got up the next morning and called the wife to take a look in her kennel,I was delighted that she had the killer instinct so young.2 days later she was stone dead when I went to feed her,1

The bulls and wheatons are similar where work is considered.i'd have to say my Jigsaw bitch is a very intense bitch,she the best bull bitch I've had so far.There were better bred wheatons about than mine that time but my lot did what I wanted and suited me fine.I never had the best dogs but they were well above average,single handed workers that had to be dug to.The mortality rate amongst the half bred bulls was very high.It was rare that they lasted to old age due to their gameness and disregard for their own wellfare.

Dunna he was a really good dog,I'm not bragging about him,but he never was beaten by the game.Always did his job 100% Heres a dog that was well bred,both parents were 100%,he on the other hand was a bag of nervous shit,he turned out to be a useless b*****d.I held him for 2 and a half years and never wanted to know about the stuff.Goes to show all the breeding in the world doesnt make a guaranteed pup.I must say I had a few wasters over the years,they just never got there pics taken so they wont be on here.

] Heres a pic after a morning walkabout,long time ago.

Cloudy was a very obedient dog,he once retrieved a mallard I shot from a lake,I couldnt believe it when he did it.I could get him sitting and staying and walk the length of two football pitches and then call him,he used to watch the other side of the ditch when I ferreted on my own.I doubt I'll ever have one like him again but I live in hope

Heres a pic of a wheaton X terrier,she was a good working bitch but died from a heart attack at 2 and a 1/2 years old in ground. This is a pic of her coming out of ground with her half sister in the background,she was a full bred wheaton and a decent worker.She was given to a mate up the country and she pulled down deer on 3 different occasions while out bushing.Why I never bred from her I'll never understand but I had a lot of terriers at the time and they were my priority back then.Hope you like. Another of the full wheaton.I called them,Linnet and Lizzie after the la

Heres a pic of a dog I bought in Nottingham in 85.It was Saluki/g.h.XCollie/g.h. Cloudy as I called him was a real good all round dog,he took many hares,he had tons of stamina.If he didnt catch the hare in the first field he wore down his quarry with persevarence.He was also some animal on the lamp,in one night he took 42 rabbits a hare and a fox single handed.I must admit when I was in my 20's I was into the numbers game,but he always did the job for me.When this dog died due to hitting a scratching stone for cattle in the centre of a field I didnt keep another lurcher for 8 years.I would ha

Heres a few pics of dogs I had in the mid 's.The bitch above is 1st cross bull and terrier.She was a very hard hitting dog and a nightmare to keep.If this bitch ever got out from her kennel God help any dog or bitch that got in her way as she was a terror in the yard for fighting. this is a dog bred from a line of russels my mate had for years.He was a tidy animal,but with the heart of a lion.The first time he was tried in ground he went in and killed his fox in minutes,we dug him 3 times that day with the local hunt,and we were asked not to bring him out again as he killed 2 out

Very good read lads keep em coming.

We dont have ferret shows over here thank god.I dont show dogs nor lurchers as a general rule.If ever I have a ferret not up to the job I have a polish lady that takes all unwanted ferrets.She has 12 under the stairs in a fenced in area.The smell in the house is rather pungent to say the least but she adores her ferrets.God help the next tenants thats all I say.

Jaysus I could do with some hutches like that.I have 2 boxes that have expired their sell by date,I badly need new ones.I'll have to take up woodworking classes
-
Well guys and gals they are all working stock which is the important bit,how would you rate them?I class them as small to middleing sized.They are top class at bolting rabbits,I do very little digging during the season(unless the terrier is involved )Frank I replaced the bloody hinges once again.I should get roughly 12 months out of them.The winter will see them seized again.I'm trying to get someone to build new boxes(2 at least)but blokes aren't bothered with small jobs like this and I'm useless at D.I.Y.The only thing I can make is NOISE
