  1. a mate of mine had an english bull terrier called bosen.lol.wierd It's a small and wierd world Al, unless your mate lived in Liverpool in the early 's....
  2. Bosun from working on the Mersey rescue boat, my grandfather was also a Bosun in the Navy and I named my first bought dog Bosun (a Bull Terrier, I was 12) and eleven.... My fav number....
  3. Think it's a no brainer Micky, simply their ain't no 'facts' about it on here. Why dont you conduct the first experiment, lob some bunnys in the freezer, start with 10 days, thaw 'em, feed 'em and if you or your dogs get worms, buy some Dorontal and freeze 'em for longer next time...... Simples!
  4. Plenty of decent pup's on here, just have a look Up to 32" though might be a little harder to find
  5. A whole feckin tribe of 'em..... Do they all make collars & leads too....?
  6. Jesus Paul, so near and yet so far, very very sad.... Best of luck for the future
  7. Good posts and good to have you back m.r1
  8. there was only 1 dog that stood out for me it the dvd the big black with a white chest & white socks can t mine the name off the dog someone will do here atb keano Was it Ged or Lulu??
  9. Thats a good reply Dogman and good advice. Get that pup out, let it become accustomed to the surroundings you will later hunt it in, smells, sights and sounds. It will soon find sommat to run and if it does, great. It'll come to no harm and only learn from the expierience and want to do it again. By all means, carry on with your basic training too, retrieving etc. As far as i'm concerned, for pups of that age there is no such thing as a 'closed season', it needs the best start in life and that would be free running through fields to learn the basics of its future vocation BUT with no press
  10. Fair play to you mate Think stuff like this will always come up for you, like that helmet last night.... Oh, and as for that stud dog..... Feck me mate, 20 dogs within spittin distance of here with the same colouration and with far better conformation and probs breeding too!
  11. TimmyK bought a pair of sommat called Cobra's (say's their snake proof or sommat ) at Selby this year, they do look the part, he's been after 'em for ages, recon's that if were out for a shine an get attacked by an angry mob of killer Cobra's, i'm fecked!!!! :wacko:
  12. Will be heading there tomorrow, my fav show!
  13. Greatest Terrier man ever, is how Frank Buck has been described and probably so. I last seen Frank about 86/87 at Great Yorkshire, said hello and the pleasantries, nice bloke, genuine. We didn't get chance for much of a chat as his class came up, it's worth note that the terriers he was exibiting were of a very different stamp (though black still) than the stuff he bred back in the day with Breay, to which Nuttall, Parks and others subsiquently bred from. A type that raised more than a cocked eybrow from onlookers there
  14. Ain't owned or seen work a Cowan bred dog for 20+ years. Back then, the dogs were of a smart type, tall and leggy. All were a bit 'gassy' and loved a tear up, especially around the 12month mark but both I owned would stay and were hard as feckin nails underground. My bitch was given the name Lassie but once entered and for the rest of her workin life we knew her as Crazyhorse! If he still breeds the same type you won't go far wrong
  15. On my bullx dog side about 18 years, with the same blood on both sides. From what i'm told my lurcher bitch's dam line goes back much much longer, the sire was an outcross of unknown breeding. It's nice to know the ancestry of a dog but if it works and works well, thats all the info you'll need.
  16. why not write to the editor and tell him your concenrs and make suggesytions....that way theres a good chance you will see the kind of articles you want to see. Much more productive than just slagging it off on here Ha Ha Ha..... I did a few years back, I also spoke to (the very nice) Tracy Allen when at the Welsh one year BUT and this was pre ban, they wern't very enthusiastic about articles about 'genuine' terrier work, work to ground, nor the taking of foxes with lurchers, especially mentioning lurchers with bull blood in 'em that, at the time was the unprintable word in the CMW!!!
  17. Well that took a while Georgia, for what looked like a very handy critter, i did like the look of him too. Hope he does well for his new owner
  18. A nice little thing Mooshka A few years back I (rather my Mrs), did a similar thing, went home full of doubt but it all (for the time we had her) couldn't have turned out better. Best of luck.
  19. Read this an searched, look's like he's gone. Damn shame if you ask me, my fav poster on this site, always jumped straight to read Wilf's posts. Sharp, honest, dry, well informed and very funny.... I hope it's just temporary.
  20. Got a mate who, a few years back had some 'very serious' fox dogs, none would go anywhere near the family cat but would destroy any other moggy on sight.
  21. They sell it in Martins newsagents in Maghull square, though I wouldn't waste my money and time on it personally, subscribe to EDRD and use this site for all your needs.
  22. Killed by a group of baboons....Now that ain't the way for a good dog to go.... BUT, just wondering i hope it was a Great Dane bitch used for that mating, or that grew would have suffered a worse fate than it's unfortunate offspring!!
  23. The Great Dane as we see it today, in the show ring, would/could bring 'NOTHING' to the working lurcher and I'm sure even less to the hunting field! I'm sure someone, somewhere in the world has an unchanged, old time specimen that could possibly hunt but for our fair shore's it still nigh on useless. All that said, those two off 'The Swiss Family Robinson' (the one with John Mills) did look great to me as a kid
