Not sure if I put this up a couple of years back when I first watched it but... Land - Starring and directed by Robin Wright. A grieving woman decides to escape to the Wyoming wilderness. I found it a cracking film, with a gritty performance by Wright. For those wanting to 'escape' to wilderness, and for those that think 'feck that', it's worth a watch.

The only thing worse than summer hunters, is those that then glorify it on social media... Taking a youngster, or a newly acquired animal out, to see how it shapes-up is one thing. Proudly displaying three or more dead hares infront of it on FB is another.

Not sure how many will know his dad, but young Martin Quinn was asked by BASC to interview for a podcast about life and working his gundogs, and picking up on the grouse moors. As a mate of his dad, I've known Martin almost all his life, coursed, lamped & dug with him. He was brought up with running dogs and he's a credit to field sports, and it's great that he was interviewed, and, as he told me yesterday, made sure he got a Lurcher nod on the BASC too... I went up to Calderdale to beat last year, and for me, as someone who has always operated 'under the radar' it really was a f

This is a great podcast from my good friend, (young) Martin Quinn. Brought up with lurchers & terriers, Martin is now embedded in his gundogs, shooting and picking up. Well worth a listen...

Grey faces aside, the biggest indicator of a working dogs age is it's recovery time....

Never done the full genealogy thing, but traced my family lines over 100+ years on both sides. My mother's side is all Welsh but moved to Anfield Liverpool in the 1850's. Where they married only fellow Welsh folk. Though my lot thought they'd hit the jackpot, when my Nan married a real Welshman who was in the RAF before the war. Thing is, he was a total cnut alcoholic. He hated his new life in Liverpool and lethered his wife and his new born daughter when drunk, and that was frequent. They split, and through 'shame' my Nan went to work in the Isle of Man through the War, and my mum was br

I just tend not to watch such shite, because it just boils my piss...

All good books if someone's not read them...

Is that dog from Cumbria?

Agreed, reformed 'snacks' have no business here...

Not when they are swilled down with a beer, no... Always remember, check each scratching, any with hair, have come from places they can't scrape... Just think about that..!

Seabrooks crisps are the best... Ready salted are the best flavour, of any brand... Whatever happened to hedghog flavour..? Has Lineker f****d off for good..? I miss the blue salt packets... I don't eat crisps, because one packet is never enough...

As it's about crisps, I thought 'young hunters talk' may be the most fitting..

This may be a great topic, but posting it in the 'site suggestions' section does let it down a bit..! Moved...

I really don't want to sound derogatory, but judging by those photos, that dog could strip a fair bit of weight...

It's a long story... No, not seen Legsy myself for a few months. Spoke to him last back in May.

Not sure Tony, but I think so. Peover isn't on this year though

Whilst even the biggest advocates of 'genuine lines' of earth dogs look at a terrier with bull blood and admire it's physique. After that, everything is going down hill work wise... Those that breed them will say it's to strengthen snipey heads, or give them more fire, BUT you can improve all that, and retain working ability by using the right line of terrier. All that said, if anyone is thinking of breeding such a cross, let me know, as I'll be after a new ratter soon, and I want one that's scared of the dark...

Without digging the book out. I'm pretty sure she was labeled as a Foxhound x Greyhound, but I'd doubt that. Also, in the 80's many of the old boys would say how Plummer borrowed from Drabble, Wadsworth and many other lesser known men. In Liverpool plenty would say Jimmy Keeling wrote Rogues and Running Dogs, sending it to the already published Plummer to give his thoughts. And the rest is history... Plummer's name was mud by many of the old boys. Bill Brightmoor showed me the revolver he chased Plummer off his farm with (not that Bill needed anything in his hands to be scary enough.

Yep, that's the photo from the book, and for me, possibly the best lurcher photo of all time...
