Dogs Kill Reindeer At Swanmore Petting Farm
Bryan replied to PeterE's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Your good, what would you do if it happened to someone you knew, or to yourself. lozenger. + who said anything about grassing, perhaps one would send a private message??? thanks for the input, every little helps xx Aye, right,, Being a dickheed and letting dogs off in a petting farm is one thing. Grassing makes you a whole new level of b*****d. Never grass, under any circumstances. If you have a gripe sort it yersell. never snitch. Never grass? If and old person gets robbed should they grass them up? If a girl is raped should she grass them up? Y -
Need Some Antibiotics In Gloucester

I've a good friend who's a journalist. The value of a story now is in how many hits it generates. "Man catches fox" "Fox torn to pieces by child" you know which one is going to get more hits and the beauty for an article like the one above is antis and hunting guys all hit the link. Every person here that hits the link flags that article up as popular and encourages more stories in the future. If a journalist can go into work and copy and paste a sensational story with graphic pictures off FB? How easy is that? FFS money for nothing. yes nan's pat it's legal now, sensational li

They're doing interesting things with horses at the minute based on labwork jim bolgers company equinome?-hes having worse results since he started it..one of the best ever greyhound litters in ireland(split the bill x lizzie fitz)-8out of 10 in the first litter broke 28.-including ardfert billy who i think still has the fastest 550yds time in ireland..i think she was put back to the same dog 3 or 4 more times and they were all shite...the modern science of epigenetics is proving some old wives tales true Thank you TinyTiger, Like I said before, the lads I first heard coming up with the r

For me that'd be a serious fault. I keep bull blooded dogs and accept that being mute is a fault prevalent in the cross and by that I mean mute when not holding its quarry. I certainly wouldn't breed from a dog like that and have not bred off dogs with that fault despite having many very good digs to them, because I was getting as good digging to dogs that had one extra gear when the hours ticked along. They'd do all they could but could bay for a few hours too and change gears again if the pressure came on late in a dig close to breaking through. Before electronics were the most importan

I'm saying he should consider the dog quite. Why isn't the dog baying or working? I'd be very unhappy with a dog sitting underground silently staring at it's quarry and doing nothing.
-
You think the quarry jacked because it stopped working the dog? It's not a match. The dog should be working without quitting, not the other way around.

if you listen to the heavy breathing and "it's gone in the hole" I think someone has spliced a porno over a badger and fox playing

If it was only legal to dig to badgers without a locator collar would I do it? I think I would. Do I sometimes let a dog run without a collar? Yes a few times a season. I've hunted in France, they do things so differently there it's hard to even imagine. Their hunting culture is completely different to ours. There's no way we'd do many things they do. But they can legally do so many thing that we can't that I didn't feel in a postion to tell them they were wrong.
-
Honest answer Blaise,but i will stick with the locator,thats too much diging for an auld lad like me.I do remember pre-locator days,lying on wet ground listening for the terrier or even the slightest bump driving the bar down here,there and everywhere to try and find a mark,back then we had no choice,but now we have so i will not enter a terrier without collar on,terrier still has to find and work its game and it can be a lot deeper now,also the men have to still dig to the dog locator or not,it just makes it safer. Sounds like when Badger digging was legal in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and

Got 2 knives from Ray today. The man is some craftsman, great to deal with and delivers more than you'd hope for. Many thanks, Bryan

A million miles from a dog not wanting it. But if you want a terrier capable of doing something special every now and then it better be in top condition. I think anyone who's done a bit of wrestling or boxing has an idea just how physically tough it can be when you've 2 animals of equal weights and opposite aims. Just digging threw stones or earth for 15-20 minutes takes some effort. I follow hounds on foot with a terrier and work it as needed. I'd be some prick to run on with a dog not well conditioned for a few miles then work it, run a few more work it again and maybe again. If the spi

Most guys have the very highest standards of what they expect from their dogs. They'd cull them for any minor deviation from their super high standards of work. But the are very slack of the standards they put on themselves and what they bring to the table. Cheapest food, skimp of worming etc. see no need to walk a dog "ah work keeps them fit" etc. etc. I rarely see terriers where I'm impressed by their condition. Where I think, wow that dog could not be in better condition, or it's weight is bang on. At tracks greyhound weights are posted, and a 70lbs dog can go from a sure thing

The guys selling them will usually be selling Unicorns as well. Search any freeads under Unicorns and you'll find the right sellers. Or pick up a random Staff and hang a pedigree off it. it's what most guys do. Sorry I can't help. Only to say I wouldn't start on THL

You'd hope the greyhound, hunting and shooting organisations would put in a solid tender to run and registration. They've experience in doing so for many years with written and published registrations. It's reasonable for them to say the dogs trust and spca are political lobbying groups who couldn't be expected to maintain the information of people owning dogs for pursuits they don't agree with. It'd be nice if a hunting organisation out manoeuvred them for once and got some serious cash in their coffers? Bryan

There's none of your details on the chip, it's not a concern having a dog chipped. The issue is registering the chip. There's going t be some serious money made by the organisation that gets to run the registration of these chips. If the dogs trust or RSPCA gets the contract to do it they'll have some unreal financial clout.

When your trainer said " be sure to do your roadwork " he didnt mean literally ........im sure you must have hills and paths to run in Ireland why would you choose to run on smokey dangerous roads/pavements.......even in the middle of East London we would find open spaces to put the miles in......even for no other reason that to avoid people shouting at " Rocckkkkyyyyyyy "

Nothing wrong with anyone enjoying their sport...But you dont see the local Boxing club sparring in the Post office or the local football team having a kick about in Tesco's car park do you?...they do their sport in an appropriate place without hindering the general public...cyclists 3 abreast down small country lanes is pig ignorant and potentially dangerous for car driver and cyclist...maybe they should do their sport at somewhere more sutible a velodrome or cycle/race track like other sports do...can not see a connection to cycling and hunting at all...hounds and horses can only do their sp

That's the job for them. Like this kid out cycling on someone else's race track. http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/cyclist-13-dragged-along-road-by-men-in-car-273171.html

Nothing worse than seeing guys out enjoying their sport. Makes me sick. You'd think they'd ride in single file so you could pass them faster and closer? Like horses out hunting, or guys walking dogs on country roads, if they just clung in by the ditch so I could tear past them without dropping a rev, it'd be a better world. When I have to lift my foot off the floor and drop a gear for some child walking on the road or people cycling or hounds crossing a road? Well a little bit of me dies. Another man's sport? F*ck 'em all (all except my sport) It's a lack of tolerance for another

It wouldn't be right to let the day pass without saying Tommy O'Reilly died today. There's many people better placed and versed than me to remember him, but i'll give it a start. Within his own lifetime Tommy had become a legend and on meeting him any expectations you may have had would have been easily exceeded. He spent his life in pursuit of his passion with hounds and terriers hunting Fox, Hare, Badger and Otter. He hunted a pack of Harriers and the Cork City Otterhounds (before they changed to Mink) and followed foxhounds, beagles, harriers and the Cork City's all his life. He ha

I'm not sure if the opposite isn't true? If some aren't involved ,for a time, nowadays because they wan be gangsta? I'd also have to say I've been mostly impressed with the older hunting guys I've met out hunting. Old men that are still in the game, still breeding, still hunting, still producing dogs. I've rarely felt time was wasted listening about dogs further back in a line or to lifetimes spent hunting with dogs and all the time admiring the quarry. I feel very sorry for anyone who has come into dogs and not met anyone who's helped them on their way and shared their experiences, succe
