  1. Alex (and Gaz), I was simply playing the cross down, rather than bulling it up. Thats just my style with anything I work... But I know their worth and for that i'm grateful... And how am I going to get top dollar for the pups I breed off her if you keep playing it down ?
  2. Can't really fault the man to be fair ,when I beat kat in a match he paid up and shook hands with good grace .
  3. Just a heads up for those interested ...just seen on Darcy's web site ,next publication due August ,titled ,..Mark Brick ..The Obsessive ...could be worth a read .
  4. Now that you mention it ...has anyone ever seen them in the same room hmmmmm.
  5. The emergency room scene wasnt actors ,it was a real emergency team told to do it exactly as they would in real life .
  6. Your right youngster ,but here's the thing ,there are plenty of ways you can use a decent little staff in the field ,they can have their uses ,as long as we,re not talking about what they were originally bred for and you don't mistake a bit of pluck for gameness ,then its a breed I like to see being made use of atb
  7. My thoughts and prayers are with you mate ,,it has ruined my day and shook me up a bit reading g about your misfortune ,I hope you make a full recovery with no psychological scars after this ordeal god bless you .
  8. With all due respect and deference to you Boatswain ,I think your simplifying the cross ,true its only 50% cocker ,so on paper its only 50% busher\hunter but I have seen pure bulls with excellent noses ,real prey drive and good biddability intact I have owned staffs that have made decent Busher's ,not great ,but provided sport ,I once owned a wheaten that only size prevented it from being a top class busher ,the cocker adds nose and a touch of class ,I don't want my dog to follow a line , I want it to do exactly what this x does ,work cover tirelessly ,put shit out for me ,so for certain peopl
  9. That photograph ....wow ,,most evocative boxing pic I have ever seen .
  10. Stop it now please krusty ,your embarrassing yourself .
  11. Schadenfreude is what I'm feeling ,and I'm not proud of it .
  12. Is there any other photos ,because that looks like a stuffed fox to me .
  13. To be fair I just assumed he was talking about Lab .
  14. You give him credit for the show he out on against wlad? Or you reckon wlad had a bad night? Yes mate of course I give him credit ,he won a world title ,an incredible achievement in any era ,also he would by his sheer size and awkwardness hold his own against some of the really great boxers of the past ,BUT I will not be told he has good technique or footwork when its apparent to any one who has a nodding acquaintance with a boxing ring that he hasn't , I am not a Fury hater ,I just think the lad could be so much better with the right people around him .
  15. Being "technically good " is not an opinion , he isn't technically good and that's not my opinion ,that's a fact ,dancing about the ri g like a 14 year old novice does not constitute "decent feet " and as for head movement ,non existent ,but to be fair its 7 ft in the air so doesn't have to be .
  16. The things Fury has going for him 1 he is freakishly tall 2 he is around during the weakest generation of heavyweight boxers I can remember . The things he hasn't got going for him 1 technically he is very poor ,and never seems to show signs of improvement 2 his fitness has always been an issue (the fact that he has danced about and stayed out of distance for 12 rounds ,doesn't mean he is fit to FIGHT for 12 rounds ) 3 seeing as his fitness and technique hasn't improved after all this time ,you must question his team 4 his mental health ,the lad needs proper help and he needs it
  17. I don't know why people can't agree to disagree ,I can't for the life of me see the need for either side to prove the other wrong ,let people believe what they choose and we would all be a bit happier .
  18. Surely you mean ,if guilty ,I remember you were a firm advocate of letting justice run its course before condemning people ,or does that only apply to Adam Johnstone .
  19. He's been charged by the F.A for having a joke with a reporter ,the worlds gone fukin mad .
  20. Spot on youngster ,I think its always going to be a worry about how AJ will react when in trouble or up against spoiling tactics without that schoolboy ,junior grounding and experience ,he will never catch up on that ,but if he gets past Klitchco it will stand him in good stead for the future ,every experience is important to him .
  21. Sometimes a like isn't enough , That was supposed to have one of those big fuk off thumbs up signs on it ,so use your imagination and pretend its there.
  22. thats fair point Stan , situations like that mate a dog that give voice would deff be benefit deff. my next dog will be a small type lurcher , i would like 2nd gen 1x pit x whippet , if i can get one, ive had both breeds before and i like them, if i did get one and it picked up some of the whippet genes which it could . the none ped whippet ive seen at the track years ago they can sing a bit lol , so as busher i reckon they be vocal . i like the crack with any type dog day or night , and mooching/bushing is great deff Ray ,I had a first x whippet bull a few years ago ,an
  23. If your hunting medium sized patches of cover or along hedgerows ,then I don't suppose there is much difference using a silent dog ,hunting woodland or big tracts of gorse ,heather ,bramble etc if my dog didn't open up when hot on something I wouldn't know where the f**k she was and neither would the runners , she will often open up in a completely different direction from where I expected her to be . Everyone e has their own way of going about things and "viva LA difference " I say atb
