Tino,Gus & Maggie yesterday morning on our first wander of the day..

I mainly rake about in the daytime mate,my lad will do 90% of the lamping with the dog's these days..I still on occasions go for a few gallops on the lamp, nearly always in the company of the Gamekeeper & or with the farmer's son getting chauffeur driven around the fields..I'm just a part time hunter these day's,I'm out a couple of times weekly throughout the winter & that's about it. I'm the one walking,cleaning,prepping food & feeding the dogs BN of a daily basis,I'm out 6 times a day everyday,hail,rain,snow or sunshine,I've had 4 soakings today with two more to go they certai

Just want to say thanks to everyone who's took the time to read the posts & have liked or commented too,I really appreciate it..thank you.

There's never been an abundance of gear local to me bud, when I say local I mean in walking distance from where I live,although a couple of days ago when just a ten mins walk from home I managed to see a Roe,Fox,Rabbits & a Badger too,nice to see them to be honest,what's around here we tend to leave alone,bodies accidentally falling victim to the dog's are inevitable on occasions but as I say we don't intentionally go looking for stuff. There's plenty of gear around if one's prepared to drive for a hour & a half or so & are prepared to run the gauntlet so to speak

I think these pups are going to be in for a few skin tears with these antics,they are all or nothing,heart in your mouth types at everything they do,jumping the barbed wire fence isn't an issue but when they are jumping the single stranded 'bull wire' a yard or two the other side of it along with it they are destined for trip to the vet's at worst & or a purple spray & staple job..the word 'steady' is one that hasn't been adhered to just yet.. they'll learn one way or another.

Kali out with me this morning, again she's put a few to rest this past week just out & about on our daily walks, this will be her second season coming up, hopefully with a season under her belt & the experience that comes with that I'm quietly confident she will be a better dog this time around, here's hoping anyway.

Up bright & early again this morning another day of schooling & education for the young dog's,Gus & Tino were out yesterday morning & both flipped over one apiece,those two have really hit the ground running for just being 11 months & a week old. Probably take Maggie & Gus this morning & see how they get along,as I said earlier on a recent post Maggie was really held back due to a freak injury she sustained after Gus jumped a gate & landed on her,she's fine again now & is looking really well. We've got off to a decent start & are into double figures wi

Yeah Jackson is dog daft bud,he has a couple of lurchers those being Roxy the dam to my two Bear & Rose & a bitch called Lucky also out of Roxy from a different litter to mine. He has a Patterdale called Molly..he's well into the earth dog's,both Roxy (now retired as she's gone 10) & Lucky being 5/8 Grey 3/8 Bull they do what they do & have seen a lot of graft Richie,he's 25 now. He's out with his dogs both before work & again straight after work before he goes in the house. Regarding the showing & judging,it all depends on the day what types the judge likes & or di

I was all for going bud,I was going to fetch the pups over for a bit of socialising as with me being such a miserable b*****d it's probably something they could do with,as it happened my lad took the pups out for first light & hadn't returned soon enough for me to bring them so they missed out on socialization & I missed out on a bit of craic.. regarding the Flimby crew your bang on Richie,I think half the village had made the journey & I know Julie absolutely cleaned up with her dog's on the day..hope you're keeping well bud?
