  1. Not a working terrier in the true sense, he doesn't work below ground, but an excellent busher and does mark and dig out rats, hunts rivers and streams well.
  2. Looking forward to seeing em in fields.
  3. I didn't but the fella with bitch kept 2 and 2 of me nephews kept one each as pets/occasional moochers so I'll be out with em over the season, they're ready to start now.
  4. Young lad took dogs out today had better luck than me yesterday.
  5. Had first Sunday mooch of the 24/25 season. Scent was scant, Floyd struggled to keep a line going but he worked hard. Plenty of game birds about and big eared game but very little vermin. Marked on rat on an old ditch but the burrow was full of roots and ground was dry and hard like concrete so I filled in and moved on. Not best day out but look at least Sundays are gonna be in the fields and countryside.
  6. Some great meals out on the holidays but this was probably the best..... steaks were top notch.
  7. I keep mine pretty fit during summer tbh get alot more walking than during the season during the week. I'll like em fit and ready to go once weekend outings start. When all barley's cut I'll start getting out an evening or two a week and mooch along local rivers. The estuary where I take em swimming always has plenty of rat scent along the rocks at the edge, occasionally we get one during the summer but they're very hard got cos rocks are so big. Never had a terrier or lurcher in me life that loved water like these two.
  8. Even in days long before internet and social media his name and terriers were known in Ireland, even by lads like myself that never knew or met him or men like him.... that's saying something. RIP
  9. Just some of the pics. Taken from Knockbrack Hill, highest hill in North County Dublin, first time ever seen the Northern lights. Knockbrack has an ancient history, going back to the neolithic. I'll definitely chase a view of em again at different historical sites, something awe inspiring about em tbh.
  10. Good beer ...makes me feel good and makes all me problems go away
  11. A couple of lil flounder I took from a local river. This spot bout 1/2 mile up from a local estuary, well away from the sea water. Get small brownies here too. Hardly think there be any fish in it, not much of a river. Garden worms for bait. These lads went back not a bother on em.
  12. Always thought mullet wasn't edible but that looks very very edible!
  13. Fish stew. Half a salmon, and bag of sea food bits in the mix. Done in slow cooker with spuds and some veg.
  14. Is that same mullet we get that swims in harbours?
  15. Says you can't get messages. Pups are in Dublin Ireland.
  16. Beagle X terrier (Patterdale X Border Russell) my lad is the sire
  17. One still for sale. Lads keeping 3 back for mooching. Two gone to family as pets but one of them will do an odd days mooching.
  18. Can't claim any credit for this, a neighbour sent it over cos I always throw him over a few pints of Guinness when I've got a keg in.... everything inc pepper sauce and bread made from scratch by his wife...... As good as any restaurant.
  19. Been good season. Dogs did very well. Worked well. Flushed everything fur and feather, goofy and sharp tooth, accounted for dozens of rats and few rabbits..... All in all very happy. Time now for coastal walks, swims in sea and road work.
  20. Nice mooch through fields today. Got 3 marks at long tails. Two marks got kills and another mark two bolted and gave us slip into a stream and up a ditch. Flushed plenty of birds and three big ears. Got good races for the auld lurcher, but game never in any real danger.
