  1. Liked sally aswell mate,bet she could flatten them on any land
  2. Could be anywhere,unless you visit the same moor all the time,heather all looks alike,yes tommy you can walk about all day and have the place to yourself,brush would be useless up there L.C. it was like walking through a wind tunnel
  3. Going back a bit now,but I think it would have to be hammy's nancy in the forley 97,I've watched loads of courses,but never forgot that one
  4. It was last sunday,very windy and quite a wet day,saw a good few red aswell as black grouse,and there was dead myxy rabbits lying all over the place
  5. would the total number of hares taken include the poor fcukers that were booted as they ran down the beam straight into the lamper
  6. The land that I run my dogs on looks a lot like the Irish land that i have seen,from what I've heard about the fens,It seems the heavy going on the sticky bottomless winter soil is what seperates the wheat from the chaff,and the strongest hares down there,must have been ran that many times they know all about dogs,and it's all in a days work to outrun all but the very strongest and gamest of dogs
  7. Cheers gorger hard to tell they all look alike with the cream/red coats
  8. same old shit then wizz bangers an plodders No mate just the terrier influence over the patience of a sighthound
  9. yes it's from an old video from 1998 copied onto a dvd,nice tight running style,and dont like to settle in behind the hare,just want to make a catch,wonder if that is why some of them struggled with the fen hares later in the season,very nice to watch on small land though with the constant pressure style
  10. seen the picture of your shamrock gorger lovely looking bitch she is,one on dvd is running in 1998 so must be another one with same name,all the best with your pups anyway cheers
  11. Just been sorting through some old coursing dvd's,one of which has some real nice Irish terrier bred stuff running in 1998,there was some confusion on the site recently about the bitch named Irish fly,know there has been some talk lately of a bitch named shamrock,would she be a relation to one from some earlier breeding of the same line also named shamrock ?
  12. Was in plain site of the village with only 500 yards of open field to obscure the view and still very light lol another half hour later and the light would have started to fade. these accidents will be the death of me! As the population rises so might the accidents,but what is the alternative,maybe just get a pomeranian hybrid and stick to the footpaths
  13. That's a lot different to a Granger or a Cawston,but I would still have it on my wall,better still as a stained glass window,very nice
  14. Good to hear of some hares doing so well,used to be like that where I live,until all the lamping and shooting kicked off (mid 90's),could walk the land all day now without seeing a single one,plenty fox,rabbit and deer,but it's not the same without the hares,bitch looking well atb
  15. Good to see dogs fit at this time of year,never believed in leaving them to lie about doing nothing during the closed season,not healthy for dogs or us,prefer the bitch with her top coat on though
  16. Type caulfields joe in search box there is a picture of him in the first post,must have been some dog atb
  17. Note,someone did'nt hang around to collect their sliplead
  18. What the fcuk's happening I've just seen cornfield joe run across my screen on his 30th hare pre ban
  19. Just enjoy the summer with the young dog,bit of stock breaking,jumping training,let the pup learn some things and follow his own instincts
  20. The red dog is really taking shape,and the other dogs are looking very nice aswell you must never stop all the best for all of them and yourself
  21. They dont call them the cat of the woods for no reason,brilliant pictures,and yes it is nicer to see them alive,though they do make a delicious casserole
  22. Manuka honey at £45 per jar that's a bitch
  23. Cheers captain,there is some real good running styles among them,the little brindle bitch Sally owned by G Caulfield looked like the type that would stop them on any land ,and yes the filming and commentary is by noony,he's made some good video's,I saw one a few year ago,where they were running whites on heather,then they were on the fens with some Irish lads,there was some good dogs on that one,and showed beast still capable of doing the job at 8 year old,them lads must have had some fun atb
