Yeah your right Tomo some f****r would do that .... and Nighteyes we maybe tempting fate here but touch wood the dogs have sustained nothing untoward upto press by running on tough terrain in parts of the Dales SO far...fingers crossed i ain't spoke to soon lol..our dog Don cracked a bone in his hind leg last winter and it's always in the back of my mind when he's running but one thing is for certain i won't wrap him up in cotton wool...it's not my style and not his either..what will be will be? ATB Andy.

mine always suffer more, running daytime on winter wheat,, the loose tiled soil gets in the quiks and makes them sore,,, up there if your on flat thik grass pastures, its kind on there feet,,,,,,of course some parts are worse than others,, especialy some of the boulder strewn hillsids, they can be a problem, and dangerouse

Only 90!!!,god those dogs with minshaw blood in them are shit aren't they?.

Well done dogs and well done old fella's for getting them out.

[suffolkpoacher 219]

you should video a bit next time just a few bunnies?do you keep a count how many you had this season from the dales

[johnny boy68 11,726]

Well I one thinks its impressive especially as the Don dog is more than half collie.

tomo i think a dvd would be a great idea for you to do i would definatly but one mabey if you get every one to pay a deposit before you make it though so you will still get a few quid before it gets copied am sure the lads on here would trust you ps well done by the way on another great haul

[TOMO 26,179]

thanks for the vote of confidence,, but no thanks,, besides the camera would add 10lbs to my slight frame

the copying thing was slightly tongue in cheek,, not only that make a film and evrybody slaights them,,

[nighteyes 275]

cheers for that

TOMO and team poachers..... Looks like you had a goodun, you must be getting old though to stop short of the ton, besides, a nights work hung on a gate for a daytime pic would look nice and smart

 

Andy, sorry to hear about Jack. Glad he is still doing you proud
