WILF 47,573 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 To be honest it's a piss poor turnout when it seems like folk are trying to undermine the achievements of those dogs who do and have taken big hauls of rabbits in the dales. Lads who will and do run their dogs on any ground and work them hard on a regular basis deserve a little more respect than that because other than them all you are left with is a bunch of fannies talking bullshit!!!! There's enough tools on this site who deserve a verbal shot being taken at them without trying to dig out the lads who actually do really get amongst it!!!! I see it happen all the time.........trying to get your dog regular Graft in Andys part of the country is hard enough with the constant hassle from the police etc so fair play to them boys Trying to say because a rabbit is fatter in a certain areas so they are easier to catch.......get a grip boys!!!!! Any dog that can catch 20, 30, 50 plus in a night is doing very well indeed and the owner deserves some congratulations.......this is why I don't accept invitations, to many buffoons around!! I wish your wee girl a speedy recovery Andy 7 Quote Link to post

Nobby 65 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hope the bairn is better soon andy. A bit different in the dales 20 years ago andy there was not that many farmers would let you on with lurchers lamping some did but they were not keen on dogs round sheep.That being the case we did more ferreting and shooting with shotguns then and some farms had to be seen to believed they where lifting with rabbits took some biggish bags but we had a market for them as a lot of the old miners would take your hand off for ferreted rabbits.

frankel 2,123 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Just a bit of advice from a young lad jim, you shouldnt be talking about what pms are saying. There private msgs and Not for the public forum, thats why he doesnt post about his outings. Its his own buisness. How many rabbits you had with your pup jim Edited February 4, 2012 by frankel Quote Link to post
