neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 neil get back to work and out hunting i think uv too much time on ur hands didnt a little dublin lad tell us that he bang you on the back of the head one time with a set of tongs. :11: hes was well known for telling the odd lie LMAO Fionn I forgot all about that story, I still have the scar from those tongs. See I told you they can really be mis-used. Classic. Reading with Great interest,Mr cooney's speeches about heavy dogs and trials and tongs. Over the last 30 years and a bit i have been to many a trial and never seen Tongs used.But anyway have you ever been to a Federation trial,oh i don't know your age so maybe your to young to understand how the federation worked,and Have youever heard of a DOG called HECKELTOWN JACK. OR a Wheaton Bitch called CLEO :whistling: . Quote Link to post

I know this post has got away from the original question, but your post is the best response I have seen about this tool. Different tools, methods, people, dogs we are all on the same side.

No disrespect taken Fionn.We all love the sport i hate to see this time off year coming cause it means its over till next september or there abouts. You must have picked me up wrong as i love to see the younger generation out with the terriers its just that some get lead down the wrong road if you know what i mean.The dogs i keep now vary and some lads on here might not agree with them.There too big or too hard but they suit my needs.30 year ago lads didnt care what breed you kept as long as it worked and i still think on the same lines.I dont know what you keep but if it suits you then feck anyone else.As for big names never bothered me cause ive kept all sorts and put some of the big names to shame with my mutts.ATB KEEP DIGGIN 1 Quote Link to post
