    Anyone old enough to remember that the Guiness Book Of Word Records used to give the rat killing records from the 19th century. Detailing dogs, locations and numbers killed. Billy, Jocko and a bitch called Jenny Lind were all in that book. The earlier editions had loads of information.

    Plummer's Nathan is by far his greatest work (though I'll always tipp my hat to Fell Terrier, flawed that it is) You gotta hand it to him, 'ol DBP really did do his homework on such subjects. Maroc the Barbary ape, the Hinkley Boar, Blue Pauls, Red Smutts etc.... Would we really know these names and what went on in the Westminister Pits if Plummer hadn't put pen to paper in the past 40 years. I'm not such a fan of the man, but his early works are... Fantastic. Before ego and self-righteous took hold....

    Grew up to believe killing a black rabbit was unlucky.... I've never won the lottery.... ?

    I genuinely don't believe weighting ANY part of a body down and then when removed, expect that body to improve performance. It's one thing I believe, the GD trainers got wrong.... You can condition dogs for both speed and strength without weight.

    OK, so those of us of a certain age can retrospect albums as easy as pie.... This album; Know your Rights Should I Stay..... Rock the Casbah Overpowered... Jeez, an album I'd fight for to the death, especially when the best track is Straight To Hell Love this album.... And all the world should know its name....

    I'd agree with that... When I watched it my thought was 'why crack him at that point?' Sure he was annoying, which is hard work, but he'd danced around long enough for most on the job to know he's really got nothing but front... Nah, i think JF got a bit too wound-up with this fella and using his 'professional skill set' dropped the cnut either for anger, lost face or bravado.... Whichever way it was, he's done himself no favours...

    That would depend on what you would call bad... Because many would see the odd cull (or freak if you keep it) as part of the greater good. And let's get it straight, that is the exception, in probably many litters. No one is ruling out outcrosses when we're talking about family lines, but in the main, if you have all the qualities you require in a family of dogs then your best option imo, is to keep that blood tight.

    Nope, not at all... There was plenty of decent bull blooded dogs in the NW back then, and there was plenty of lads with decent pure breds too. Lads knew how close breeding worked well enough mate... If your trying to make out that 'they just got lucky' then you'd be very much mistaken.

    Not a phrase used round these ways. I always thought it meant angry... No one was crazy MC, just keen... ?

    Remember Dan well mate, arguably the best looking of of that family, certainly the biggest of the half x's. Yer mate, it was a shame but things change... ?

    What's a 'radge pot' ? ?
  14. Bosun11
    All the best stuff out of that family (wouldn't call it a line) came out of the tight bred stuff. And what wasn't excellent was borderline 'nuts'. There was also a couple of 'oddities', one I remember being a hermaphrodite, though that didn't stop it being a 27" stunner, fast and iron hard. Things like that just went with the territory back then... No point overthinking it, if the tight stuff worked and worked well then just go with it... Back when I had them, that's what I planned to do. Sure, i'd have to bring new blood in at some point but that, i'm fairly certain, would of been w

    Had loads of success with my BC's over the past few years. Apple has been my best bait, they can't resist.

    Sussex, your right... The fallow i seen was white but I'm unsure if it was a true albino (unusual for the NW none the less..)

    Bosun11 replied to Greyman's topic in General Talk

    In my lifetime, so far, I've seen, albino foxes, albino badgers and an albino fallow buck. The genetic malfunction is not that uncommon, but sadly they usually don't last very long in the wild....
