  1. I hunt some pretty thick woods. Great sport
  2. It can be done, but it depends on the dog. This one must have been two before he'd ever seen a ferret
  3. did it make the grade [bANNED TEXT].. Yes, she made my grade. Very useful little bitch
  4. Had one that looked very much like that one myself.
  5. Billy was a bulldog x bull and terrier but is widely regarded as "one" of the fathers of the breed. He certainly wasn't a Manchester. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/manchesterterrier.htm this is the link where i read it like its down in the origin box I wouldn't pay too much attention to that nonsense mate. Just club folk trying to lend credence to their types from association with famous working dogs. Billy was white for a start

  7. Lost one to closed pyometra myself four years ago, so I know how you feel.
  8. There's only one test for a bull terrier but that doesn't mean they can't be useful at other things.
  9. If any of you have an interest in the creation of the Bull Terrier then "Master Craftsman" by Kevin Kane, which is a biography of James Hinks, is a must read.
  10. The lad in the foreground is currently running 73lb fit and doesn't have too much problem getting up behind a hare. Hares aren't his thing though but we do take a few when the mood takes us. We're overrun with them here.
  11. How'd they compare against each other RFYL? Were they similar?
  12. Very interesting post. I've got shag all experience with border crosses so I'll follow this thread keenly.

    Going Pro,..

    Good luck Jay, I know you'll give it your all. I'll wear the George Cross t-shirt on September 11 for you mate
  14. Cleaned up.....keep it on track people
  15. This shit serves me very well
  16. Don't use it for anything with collie blood
  17. It's been banned in a part of Spain where it wasn't popular anyway as it's seen as a "Spanish" pursuit and the Catalonians don't see themselves as Spanish. No big deal. I can't see it happening in Spanish Spain.
  18. u saying pure bred whippet has a bettet coat than a beddlington get a f*****g life next thing ul b saying they have more stamina No I'm saying a smooth coat is better than an open linty coat you f*****g imbecile. Anyhow, most 'purebred' (as you put it) Bedlingtons have shit coats as it is. Learn to read & spell before trying to put your point across Got to agree with you there CJ....seen some shocking linty jackets on beddy crosses. Can't remember who it was on here thouhg, but I saw a pic of their beddy cross and the jacket looked good...best I'd seen.
  19. Had a good day out with a Plummer lurcher a few years ago now. Grand old bitch who was knocking on 14 I think. She'd been kept as a fox dog until she gave up the game at 6 and she was some tool for the ferreting game
  20. Where was that taken mate? Charing?
  21. Thanks Stewie, they suited me those little dogs and I had years of fun raking around with them. Funnily enough, I found myself writing about them again only a couple of weeks ago. They weren't to everyone's taste, but by shite, we enjoyed ourselves!
  22. That's pretty much what I feed, minus the fruit. Lots of lamb in the winter months and beef in the summer months due to the respective fat content. Chicken frames I find are excellent.
  23. Very nice. I hope you have many years of sport with that one
  24. Excellent mate...I'm still wearing the T-shirt!
