yep hopefully your the only one.
thankfully we do not live in a state of gun culture and thats the way it should stay. the police don't have guns for various reasons but mainly because they don't need them. they have armed response who are trained and generally competent. there are some silly police-persons out there but not silly enough to take on a gunman with pepper-spray.
people with guns policing themselves, if you have truly thought this one through then you have problems and should do some research on self policed states.

bring their own tools, get a box of your required size, give the boys a patch an a time limit, let them crack on, box must fit ,mark depth on side of box, deepest wins...... ie good square deep holes win.
atleast dick turpin bothered to wear a mask!!
just out of intrest did you buy for work or show, or perhaps both?
FOC to folks you know...its the way the proper working terrier world goes round.
if they have any skill there are lots of ways to get the litter and both parents. if they shoot the vixen there is nowt to say the dog wont feed them, so in truth they are not doing a good job atall. there are several methods than can be used, mainly involving shooting the vixen first but again its the persons duty to make sure the job is followed through properly.
looks like some carefully considered breeding is taking place. havent seen the west kent hounds for some years now, but that hound looks quite like a heythrop type.
was Curre legened the stud from here?if so i see its still retaining the colourfully fetures of its fore fathers. nice stamp tho.
ofcourse not quite peterborough standard but getting there
perhaps you should of considered this as part of your duty.its your duty to do the job as humanly as possible,if you know this is not possible with the tools you have then dont attempt it, simples.
as for MR D&L, anyone can find ground to game now, and yes sometimes you have no option but to do the job. the problem here is that the job was poorly done and then promoted with misguided pride.
only one dog was worked at a time mate,my dog was dug pulled out and then my younger bitch was given a chance to work it for a while, which she did and very well. cheers kris
