  1. All that line breeding and your best terrier was an outcross? think it's known as hybrid vigour
  2. like the saying goes "if every time you go out the front door you get punched in the face.......sooner or later you'll start going out the back"!
  3. i'd be more than happy if they hunted/flushed them to gun or lurcher (in NI & ROI) on a regular basis. some of the best hounds are total sh1tbags at the sharp end, but you wouldn't be without them might be a nice party trick to have a spaniel that gets stuck in but you wouldn't expect it of them.
  4. are there working picardies ? what do they bring to the mix?
  5. Scottish lad had one for sale last year(saluki wheaton) , nice animal to look at, no idea how it turned out
  6. my mate lost a dog to it and family members dog had it
  7. they seem to be a marmite of a boot
  8. Kyboy it's the rougher types that would more likely get hurt, a good bull type would want to tangle with something. Get something that wants to hunt/flush rather than kill if your worried about dogs getting hurt.
  9. my understanding of a good GWP is that if it gets hold you wont need the gun, they wont be baying one up.
  10. i know where a dog and a bitch are, nice looking things and showing good signs - fingers crossed for coming season
  11. know a fella runs this cross for daytime work on the moor, dog had a decent 1st season i think. probably similar qualities to bull grey collie grey
  12. great pictures and a smashing looking dog
  13. when hunting in Northern Ireland in 2011 met a fella who'd had is first black terriers from KS, in the 1980s, the lad was still at it and seemed to have a good reputation with the people i met
  14. Cameron's not stupid. My guess is that this move will take SNP out of the equation. Plus few borderline Tories may support. They must think they have a chance of this measure getting through
  15. its as much about the horse as the dogs, our two 100% comfortable with dogs around but my worry if they stood on dogs toes accidentally
  16. Well it was great day, many thanks who came and supported us. Id particularly like to thank the judges and also the people who donated for the auction - we're very grateful.

  18. Correct they are able to catch and kill the grey squirrel but they will also kill every other small animal or game birds they come in contact with and wipe out a pen of fowl if they gain entry.A local man to me actually seen forestry reps releasing pine martin into a young forestry but yet at an nargc meeting when asked they denied this. when i was told this would help reds re establish, i asked how and they reckon the reds are lighter so can go further out on branches than a grey can to avoid the marten, it sounded a bit far fetched to me but who knows, never seen a red. We have beech &
