Every1 has there own opinion on what makes a "genuine dogman" IMHO the lads that are out 4/5 days/night a week and week in week out are in my eyes "true dogmen" as for the lads that nip out the odd night a week for a few runs and the type that joined THL in 2010 and alredy made 500/1000 post non of it helpfull/constructive and 99% of it a load of S*IT there the WANNA-BE "dogmen" ,

me that have come thru the ranks and moved forward with time and still have the same policies ,in the dog game men who breed good animals and have good dogs about them ,i dont rate people who think get a rescue dog im a lurcher man or go to hanckock im a lurcher man , self made men who have learned of there peers and went forward with it ,only met a handfull of guys like that im afraid and they come from far and wide usa etc other places not just uk, 20 years people who werent dog minded thought saluks crosss stupid soon put them straight some ive had or bred would put most lurchers to shame in the one to one with dog work ferret retreive course etc put a good show on ,same with collie types had some that would go the distance on big nites with saluks ,but harder to keep breeding that type ,as for poaching i rate men who have less charges ,up for the game, and are in contrl of the situation , not bottleing it etc , one of my most gripes is hedge skulkers who go behind peoples back after you take them on land there wrong uns

Not many around and not to many on here. I know of a few, one has posted above, and has been rather modest. Never have i seen a man venture out as much with his dogs, and runs such a variety of game. Dogs which our worked day in day out learn to take all quarry effective, and realise the difference in each animal they course.

 

Another has just joined but being the dog man he is, i doubt he will ever post, just read and obsorb, learn and laugh..

 

Dogmen will not hessitate to work alone, will walk mile upon mile, day after day seeing nothing if nessacery, to find that elusive ground.

 

Once upon, he will share with his closet friends. The ground wil not be battered, afterall he goes out everyday, if not every other, as his dogs are fit enough! He will leave the land to reap, he wont smash it to bits with in a month. He will have enough to go, or find pastures new. door knocking, country laning, petrol station filling, all to work his much loved and cared for animals. The wife comes second, she understands his drive his comitment to his animals. His love of the countryside, the glens, the fields, the walks, scrambling around, looking, foridging. She also learns to love his passion. How can she not, he has found and dicovered places no one ever goes, valleys of sheer beauty. Mainly he admires the game he catchs. Sometimes he wishes it stayed alive, the account and power was so good.

 

A dog man does more miles in a year than all the marathons put together.

Men with a genuine love of their hounds and chosen Quarry.

Men who know how to condition their charge to perfection.

Men with Respect for their Hounds, Their Quarry and the Countryside.

Men who know when to say enough is enough.

After all they are flesh and Blood and not Machines.

 

very well put.:thumbs:

To me the word 'genuine' means everything that Maxhardcore has said but I'd also add, someone who never brags up their catch, who doesn't feel the need to make the 2 hares into 3, or the 15 rabbits into 25, etc etc, or the roe into a rd LOL. Someone who can look honestly at their dogs' faults and try to improve things on that next mating, someone who is not lured into paths they don't want to take through flattery,someone who puts their dogs' needs above ALL else, someone who tries their best to to the best by their dogs, and above all , somone who doesn't take a dog's failure as a personal insult to their so called honour.
