I've always had the opinion that the process of me stepping in between my dogs and a fox and then despatching the fox myself would just prolong the act, but that's because I've been lucky with dogs that killed them in seconds.

I looked into these dogs many, many years ago due to my fascination with the old baiting sports. I looked up the various clubs that were about at the time as well as reading as much of the breeds history as I could lay my hands on. When I mentioned about the possibility of working them, I was either met with absolute silence, or on the odd occasion, I was told that “old Rover†works because he chases squirrels down the local park. It has been a long, long time since these dogs were workers and then their forte was the rat pit and the rabbit enclosure. They are a “minister without portfoli

Anytime you like Mushroom....but I'll warn you, I've got expensive taste. None of this home brand shit for me...it's got to be real Fray Bentos or nothing.

Jasper on the left was 6 months old in this pic and the same height (23") as his dam on the right. He levelled out at 27-ish

Daytime ferreting and lamping too. Lamping was the first discipline we tried as a sapling and there was a bit of hunting up at the beginning, but we soon conquered that with volume of work. This type of dog learns pretty quick, even if they are a bit headstrong. Daytime is head and shoulders better sport in my book though. The bags are smaller and they are harder won, but it's a whole lot more fun and for me, you can see the dog working...and that's what it's all about for me. I run stuff these days that's a lot easier on the lamp so as a consequence I don't run it. Bloody hard daytime though

A bit more collie than greyhound Her son to a pure greyhound -
Any pics of them Dread? If you don't mind me asking, what lines had pit blood added and which pit blood was added?

This one's very roughly 3/4 bred (slightly less in reality) and has decent stamina, decent feet and runs some truly horrific ground on a daily basis. Not a hare dog per se, more of a big game courser but he manages ok. A big lad at 70lb+ and certainly not a dainty fella.

I think there are some really good fieldsports writers about today and compared to times past, we are really spoilt rotten. Pick up the last few editions of EDRD and there's Dooley, Welsh All Black, Dave Harcombe, Suffolk Bill, Colin Didrikson, Mark Brennan, Chris Breen and that Southern Belle has written a couple of entertaining ones. And there's still new writers coming through all of the time...plenty of lads off here have written for that mag, some very recently. Look at the books that have come out in the last half a dozen years....Lloyd, Dooley, Darcy, Harcombe, Didrikson.....some ab

An article written by a pal of mine some years ago.... Having attended a fairly well-to-do school since my early teens, I have known a few anti-hunt people over the years, which is inevitable I suppose, as it seems these sentiments are often found in the liberal attitudes that are so prevalent in today’s middle classes. My town was split effectively down the middle, not by something such as the walls you would have seen in Belfast or Berlin, but by class. My side of the town was where the council estates were and although I never lived in one, most of my mates did, so I was viewed as one

Sealyhams. Anyone working them?
Stabs replied to welshwizard's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I remember seeing my first hare over Fylands as a bairn when I was nesting...I stood there with mouth open as it loped away from us. You're likely to come across a bit more than rabbits if you're lamping up Bruss these days Pointer -
Sealyhams. Anyone working them?
Stabs replied to welshwizard's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I've had some fun in that quarry over the years! We used to rake around over there with some champion racing whippets owned by a bloke who used to drink in the Cross Keys. He'd have killed us if he knew we were running them around there. We were all mad keen on the dogs back then and we all wanted terriers. There seemed to be loads of that stamp around back then but they're all but gone around there now. There used to be one that used to roam the streets around Sunnydale, always carrying a half brick in it's mouth...used to terrify us! We all went our way in the end and I'm the only one out of -

Stabs replied to welshwizard's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I did not know that Duckwing...did you ever see PP's Jasper? I always thought he was a Sealyham of the stamp that MR and CR kept, but JM revealed the breeding a few years ago in an article in EDRD and I was shocked to find that there was Dachshund in there. -

There are a few birth certificates I wouldn't mind having a look at but as far as I can tell you have to buy them and that UKAncestry shop they point you towards charges 22 and half sheets for them. Is there any other way of seeing a copy? There's also a problem with me sourcing local records as I live in Australia.

Do you know your way around it Terrie?
