toughguy

Well I suppose carrying toilet roll saves using the back of my hand, but I never carry any......

Good one Smart Dog, does this mean that if you are pulled at night with lurchers,lamps and rabbits in the van that you are not done for poaching.

Appreciated Jacob, I think that you have confirmed what I had suspected all along.Like myself, we would both be considered old stock and are not afraid to speak our mind.Is Vic still alive today, I sent him a bitch back in the 70s and I recall that she did quite well over there.

only if you intend on getting caught The Toughguy does not get caught, but I hear that its becomming very difficult over there and Ive even heard of dogs being seized quite recently even though there was no game in the vehicle.

lads what i need to know is how are thing fairing out as regards lamping, i have been hearingthat you have to carry written permission with you, is this true or what

Thanks Skycat,compared to many even my other dogs he is rather unsightly lol but as long as he earns his corn that'll do for me,he has been a "type" i've been looking at owning since i had similar several years ago,they too weren't the best of lookers but they could fill the bag and then some ..he's from a long line of Minshaw bred's back to a Border Collie from Ireland who is used daily for working cattle although when he and his littermates were just seven weeks old the dam won the County Wicklow Sheepdog Trials so he is from decent stock...he has one or two little problems what need ironed

Very much doubt it.

Young dog 10 months old.

Im very surprised to hear this..I bred from so called "working" purebred deerhounds,on two ocassions and produced pure shite. No disrespect but I dont think the young lad needs advice like that.

Ive been using wheaten crosses many years...excellent all rounders. Pup of 8 months in picture wheaten/saluki cross collie saluki.

Are these the Irish Dogs ???? Big looking dogs. Do you know the breeding??

Jaysus thats a long journey, Cheers.

Nice one Tomo. Did the Irish lads have dogs with them and if so, how would you rate them and did they catch much ?

some advice-take a shovel with you. To over run a dog like that is sheer stupidity. Best case scenario-you carry the dog off the fields. Worst case-you bury the dog. Ive done all the numbers games and lost an exceptional bitch at the end of a grueling nights work. forget the numbers and enjoy the sport. 100 one dog-CANT BE DONE. When you say that you lost her stormboy, did you look everywhere.....she may have got a belt of an electric fence that was connected to the mains and died on the spot.
