Was supposed to meet up with Taffy today but got a paid ferreting job which I couldn't turn down as the money was too good - sorry Taff Anyway these plague proportion rabbits were conspicuous by their absence so I thought I'd have a wander with the 686. The lurcher was showing some interest in some set aside next to a boundary wall. The hedge against this wall created a kind of tunnel or corridor and the lurcher was quick in there and out popped old charlie right in front of me. Unfortunately for Mr. Fox, I had a 686 in my hands and Nell at my feet Apologies for the

Excellent pics lads! I recognise those rocks! Good to see Driver's doing well. Was it just him you had out?

No mate, Lakeland was looking after them for Git and I took them off his hands just over a week ago.

It;s just for show mate, never have to resort to the spade

Second year I think Pan. Git got them originally from MiketheDog a year ago I think.

Went out this morning with the intention of breaking in a brace of new jills I'd got off my good mate LovableGit. I'd dropped them both into an ash tip and it was immediately apparent that one was a lot keener than the other. The first one I dropped in kept trying to crawl back through the nets but the second one was mad keen and chattered away as she went about her business We were working a big ash tip and the sum total was a solitary coney but it was a top morning. The dog worked right well, I saw the young squirrels move the rabbits about and the dog got the

I can't put this into words properly cos' I'm not right clever but to use a slightly related analogy, if you look at pit dogs, the ones that train for muscle mass with resistance training ie heavy reps such as weight pull and even to a certain extent pulling hard on a lead, build more mass, same as in humans. Heavy weight, short reps and your mass increases as you are pushing more volume of blood through the capillaries. For endurance and stamina you'd do the exact opposite ie lighter weights for a longer time. To get back to the pit dog analogy, the muscle bound dog needs more oxygen to f

I wouldn't call this one particularly muscle bound, but she's fit (-ish) and can go all day when we are working. I see many terriers which people comment on as being "solid" and then make comments like "look at the shoulders" etc and I know for a fact that if I owned the very same dog it would be unrecognisable to most. I would be more concerned about my dog if it got to the quarry and had no muscle to back itself up with. I think a dog must be fit (-ish) most of the time, especially when working. There's a world of difference between thin and fit and muscley and fat. A dog can be
