elisderyn 496 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Thanks lads. the dog "nigger" was the best dog I have seen. I remember driving down west with him to clear some ground for a farmer & anyone who knows the craic knows digging on your own is never a good idea but the dog was the type that made things so easy , He'd bay & push & then just before you got to him he take charge & basically put the quarry on a plate for you to deal with , To lads who know terriers you will know what I mean & he really was as perfect a digging dog as you could get.....he was owned by my mate & I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but we really should have called it a day & never put him in such a bad looking place on the day we lost him, To be fair my mate N who was there was against it from the start & we really should have listened....... The irony is if he wasnt up to his job he would never have pushed on & on to get to his game & we would probably have him now , There are old dogs & there are bold dogs but not many Old Bold dogs........ "Nigger"...........RIP & good hunting where youve gone. After a 2 1/2 Drive I was done & dusted having cleared two pests with no fuss thanks to the old fella below. Here he is after having a breather , Just after I shared my grub with him & we sat in the field watching 3 red kites for ages...........A good memory Packing up to go home........Days like this are as good as it gets.......The other terriers were 2 young bitches I had taken along for a look.You can tell by the time on the pics that we were done & dusted before the anti's were out of f*****g bed....

I really wish we knew a bit more as he was some dog.... Quote Link to post
