  1. Eddie? The man himself, you know him like My dad was a bodybuilder all his adult life and knew him
  2. Great news Wilfred. I'm pleased for you and the dog mate. As you know I had dramas with my old girl a few years back, but she recovered and put a shift in, but age and her injuries caught up with her eventually and she spends her days stealing my tomatoes and dreaming of eating my quail
  3. Something written a good while ago My love of dogs has seen me travel a few miles over the years, not just trips around the UK but also as far afield as Australia and the US amongst other places. Back when I kept bull terriers, me and my mates would travel the length and breadth of Britain to go and see dogs and we’d spend many an hour on the road discussing the merits of one type over another. I had an Audi back then, and it was my pride and joy. I’d loved these cars for years, never thinking I’d ever be able to afford one. I’d had to be content running around in my 1200cc Vauxhall Nova,
  4. I saw the first edition of World of Working Terriers going for 110 sheets the other day
  5. I took her out the first day I got her back from Wales and we bolted a rabbit from a tree stump across a beck that was usually good for a bunny or two The bunny bolted, followed by the terrier and Meg (the Wheaten cross) chased for about 6 yards and then came trotting back wagging her tail. She came good though in the end though and turned into a real little opportunist
  6. All this talk of Wheaten crosses has had me flicking through some old pics and reminiscing about an old bitch of mine that was bred by Al Capone and given to me by a mate from South Wales. She had zero prey drive, and I mean zero. This was the first fox she ever saw I think....it was 2004 or 2005 and she wasn't in the slightest bit interested. This one was caught trying to get back through a fence next to the Eurostar link between Ashford and London. As you can see, she wasn't that big. The terrier was 16" and Meg would have been 20/21 max although she was bred in the purple.
  7. Best of luck with her in the field
  8. There was a chap in the south west who bred functional bull mastiffs (lower case intended) but they weren't Bull Mastiffs as the KC know. I think his intention was to do something with the breed and moniker....I remember supplying him with 19 century Bull Mastiff breeding and training literature many years ago. Not sure what he is up to now as last I heard his name he'd just gone on his "holidays"
  9. What smaller stuff did he bring in? I remember the dogs being fairly substantial
  10. It's a subject close to my heart and something I've sat and thought about more than is probably healthy. It's certainly a heartbreaker and yes it's the dogs that suffer, individually and as a breed as a whole.
