ok so read his article,a lot of it makes sense for instance opening quote"the smart hunter picks the dog to suit the quarry and terrain"think we would all agree with that,just cant quite get my head around the closing quote though"now as hare and fox hunting have been restricted,the question is:why are the saluki and bull types so popular"

 

surely the answer to that is obvious

I feel the same about bull breeds, I must know 50 people with them, nd not 1 of those people has any cows.

thats hardly the point is it,its not about who prefers what its about lads still keeping dogs for their own purpose

Terry's a friend of mine but he always has had an antipathy toward saluki crosses especially. Maybe if he had tried one and run it single handed, when he ran dogs years ago before he went full time with the falconry his opinion would carry more weight. Terry does approach certain subjects from a slightly skewed angle from the mainstream, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it can give the impression of accentricity. That said, he's a good lad and totally dedicated to his hawks, falcons and ferrets.

i dont dispute what your saying mate,just seems to be leading the readers to believe that these types,with the current ban in place are no longer needed,which is obviously not the case,just how i read it thats all

I haven't seen the article Watchman, but I agree with your point. Especially since Terry lives in Northern Ireland and did all his running in Ireland where there is no ban. The lads who are now running hares on the same land where Terry ran years ago are mostly using dogs with plenty of saluki in and their dogs are judged by what they can do single handed in the main.

Aye the obvious answer is "fxck the ban"

Now this is just my opinion and not intended to annoy anyone but I think the guy has a point. But we all live in the real world where we know hunting no matter what the authorities might tell us, will still go on. Im just surprised a countryman would highlight this in an article regarding the use of some breeds as if the owners must be breaking the law when he doesn't have any of the mentioned breed. With mouthpieces like this, who needs antis

It's the CMW mate, every article MUST, by law, contain at least one sentence of pure retardation. My favorite from a while ago was 'Remember, all poachers ARE thieves and WILL steal farm machinery", i often slip a combine, down my pants as a creep past the farm yard. . . . . you could go on and on and on with all the idiotic comments printed.

 

At the same time, a couple of weeks ago, the front cover had two lurchers tied to a gate, one was a bit bully looking and had somehow fond itself sprayed with blood all over

suppose the other way of looking at it is that he knows the answer is obvious and he is implying to the reader that although there is a ban doesnt mean people have given up because of it,thus still keeping particular types
