  1. Very nice piece on him,Dunkannon. Always sad to hear one go. Take care...........
  2. A well bred litter from good stafford parents. Fair price to match !! I had the pleasure to have the sire on the yard for several yr & he was a pleasure. I would advise anyone to get something out of him before it is too late.
  3. I pretty much rang all over for information & my friend at the other end also. Defra etc etc & i came to the conclusion that i was not getting anywhere unless i went through a pet travel agent. Total cost coming to over 1000uk. I also know that pet travel agents do a lot of business,so i am curious as to how things can be done cheaply/diy. I seen the bill & costs for everything & in truth the kennel & agent fees were the only things i could have saved on & that would have only been several hundred,so we decided to go that route to save any hiccups. Appreciate it if s
  4. I see your point CG,but in all honesty them collars look overpriced for the finished article & did i read right in that delivery is 6-8week ? They must be either very busy or bone idle if i read correctly. If it is leather you are set on then give H&W a call & sort out what you want. Compare the quality & price. Good luck
  5. A lot of changes took place in Jan of this year & i also got conflicting "facts" from DEFRA & the country where the pup was going. I would double check on everything well before any date of travel.
  6. I recently sent a pup overseas & i am fairly certain that it worked out at around £150 for everything,which included puppy jabs,rabies,microchip,pet passport,worming & fitness to fly certificate etc etc. Seems on the top side what you have been charged,if i am remembering right !!
  7. Forget about getting them returned sharpish. Pointless winding yourself up in the hope they will be returning soon. You will have been entitled to a solicitor if you were arrested & interviewed. However there is little they can do until you are charged,of which you will probably not know until 6month after the arrest. If as you say,you only have the one problem regarding the terrier,then i would assume that at least one charge will be coming. Get your story together & be ready for anything which they may find on your laptop,mobile phone etc. In truth,having that terrier marked up
  8. Seen them several times over the yrs. Have a dvd with two or three songs on. One is a long version of Nice N Sleazy where they have half a dozen or so strippers on stage. Classic & great to see the hairy herbie's bonnets from the 70's !!
  9. Have to disagree SS. A basic 1 1/2" leather collar which would last a bulldog or stafford his lifetime & more will cost less than a tenner to make & less so if buying materials in bulk. Thats using quality materials & a similar design to yours or doubled up. never mate, not for top end leathers and brass I'm not here to argue,just stating a fact. As i said,a basic 1 1/2" leather collar for a bulldog on a chain with no worries at all on safety. D-Ring,full roller buckle,3.5-3.8mm leather & rivets. Fair enough if it has all the trimmings & is hand stitched,then you wan

  11. I seen them 1st ones he brought in. Did he do a mag ? I'm not sure. I will check as i think i have a mag somewhere which has some info regarding his dogs & may be an artucle in by Don Matthews. If its still there i'll post it down to you free. Pretty sure it is someones 1st issue which they started up.
  12. Telescopic fishing rod could be classed as training equipment if in the hands of a bull breed owner. No doubt they may class it as the same with any dog with bull in them.
  13. They do & take as much as they please. As long as the police are with them. Whether they have the right or not,they simply work in unison together & that includes your local council too. Only way to beat them at their own game is to record every discussion you have with any of them authorities involved. Be that in a covert way obviously. Its easy to say you have rights,but in all honesty you dont unless you get them by the balls. Deny entry to anyone not named on warrant or act the goat during search & then (if you are bang to rights) you will find your family in the next ce
  14. Leather is fairly easy to hand stitch. The time is in the preperation beforehand.
  15. 43.70uk as someone has already said,is not even enough for a night out. I can remember paying almost 40uk for a bull book in the 's & it ain't a patch on the quality of materials as Darcy's latest. I ain't read it as yet,but it is clear looking at it that it was not produced on the cheap. If the price is too high for some then the easy way out of that was to buy it,read it & sell it. On top of that Darcy replies & corrects any problems whatsoever to do with damage etc in the post or late arrival. Through no fault of his own i recieved a damaged box & within several days my re
  16. As Gin has mentioned,regarding Le Prevo. 1st class leathercraft suppliers who are a pleasure to deal with. If your not too far away then. Call in & they will answer all your questions. Prices are very good.
  17. Ive had real good results when worming dam from around day 40 using panacur 10%. Read a good report on the research which was done & it worked for me. On pups from 3 week old i use a syringe type wormer which i think shirleys do. Again,great results. You see the worms & even better is the price. Less than a fiver will do a medium size litter several times & if its only for one pup then it will get him to the teething stage or longer. For such a low price & common sense,there really is no excuse for abreeder to pass on a pup at 8 week with worms. Adults,i got several reaction
  18. "most of the old timers are gone & the info along with them ". Be a shame for "all" them old timers to pass & leave the history writing to those that never even seen a trial. So much is lost already,as you say. I understand your thoughts & reasons...............................unfortunately.
  19. On a similar note all photo's which have been took from a digital camera carry a whole lot of information. Date taken & what type of camera used are two off the top of my head. All evidence which adds up. Simple solution is to never take a photo by phone or camera,if it may incriminate your good self or another person. These new mobile phones are a wee bit like your dna in that they hold pretty much everything to do with your history. The good thing is the expense it takes to dig deep into your computer,mobile,camera etc. That expense is only spent by the police when the crime is a se
  20. Just upgraded my orange contract. Great wee Samsung Galaxy Ace,600 min,unlimited text & internet. £15 !! When you ring to upgrade tell them you are far from happy & are going to take your business to another company if they dont sort you out. Of course it helps if you have ben with them a while & you are good at filling the operator full of sh*t.
  21. The Dealer,thanks a lot for putting that up. Gnasher,i agree with what you said. The last few year has seen some working lads investing in this for the future. I really am confused as to why many more have not taken that route in all working breeds as with each year passing & all the law changes,things don't look too rosey for the future. Am i right in thinking any frozen straws reduce in fertility even though they are frozen,the longer they are there ?
  22. I don't do it myself,but know the lad has had a very good success rate. Two breedings were done for me & both took. Last time i spoke to someone about storage i am sure the annual cost was a lot lower than you mentioned. Maybe now it has took off this last few year,the cost has come down ? It would be great to have the funds to store some frozen as we all have something worth holding onto.
  23. I have had two successful breedings from A.I. (& know of many more) using fresh semen. It really is a good option when the female is not too willing to even look at a dog,never mind breed to it. I bought semen extender several year ago as i thought it was a good option when travelling further & doing away with red tape. Never got round to using it. Frozen & extended semen would not be as fertile as fresh. Good thing with fresh & extended is that it is very cheap & you stand a good chance of getting pups. Extender i bought was from a equine place in the States & was ch
