    they don't look a very type'y bunch, the reason the men look so miserable is because it was a shit job for shit money like most countryside jobs at the time.

    your still better with a half cross it will do all the jobs a colly will and more.

    I think your right katch most crosses can do most things with patience, but I personaly think people are getting all romantic and dewey eyed over this, heart ruleing head sort of thing, any old mongrel will catch the odd rabbit given enough chances, but if your a hunting man they have to fill the bag at the end of the day, so why handicap yourself.

    I am not being negative to what your doing that's up to you, every time I breed a litter of cockers I consider very carefully my next move, I had until recently four generations down the bitch line I have used only studs I like work wise and whose blood makes it possible to widen my gene pool so I can bring back in a very good related dog, I have not bred a coursing dog for years I don't want to deal with the scum in the game at the moment, so I know its a bit different, but surely if you have been thinking about this for a while you must have more of a plan than see how this goes, if these ar

    you right there mate, but I do have an outstanding old dog in his 11th year, and great uncle to my pup, I want to use him over her in a year or two but may have to put him to her mother instead because of his age, pups mum and old max

    love these old pics I watched a program about romany people last night my wife recorded it sometime for me very interesting it was, when I was a kid my dad always used to call my mam gippo lil when he was having a bit of fun, but I never knew why, but found out after she was gone my grany was romany, dad also said I took after that side of the family, don't know what he was trying to say lol.

    we see deer foxes badgers all the time, but most people don't, one of my girls saw a badger last year for the first time, and she ran over that lol she was mortified.

    I seem to remember something about odd ones in Scotland being shot, and somebody having one in the freezer. my cast is nearly 4" and is circular the small cat tracks on it are the same shape.

    my little pup will do that mate its good to have a dog like that, if one of mine goes missing for more than a minuet or two they bring back a bird every time, when I am waiting during a drive If like you said a bird comes back looking a bit dodgy if she looks at it, I let her go back then and as soon as its down she is on it, she did close to thirty days last season and never looked like wanting one off. I did favour her over the others, like if I saw a runner I always sent her, some days I might pic 50 -60 birds right back, that made the pup this season, I seldom go in and sweep up unless I g
