mr darcy

[markdog 18]

ive read a few of his excellent books and always look forward to purchasing the next, i especially enjoy the articles on single handed stayers and the origin of the merlin x eve litter.

What i would really love to read would be a book on pure coursing dogs of the last few years how they where bred how they ran etc

the various topics/discussions that take part on this forum are good but it would be really interesting to get all this info in one book

Who else would read this type of book?

theres rumours that theres one being done at the moment dont know if its true or not ide get one if there is .

NOT ME

If Darcy did one I'm sure the content would be limited. It would be like writing one on gamedogs. There are none out there for a reason.

well i must be poor then as there is no way i will pay his book prices and that appllies to most hunting books. and as for limited edtion its just a money racket and if johnathon does good out of it , then fair play,

SNAP YOU R BETTER TO GO OUT AND DO IT YOURSELF INSTEAD OF READING ABOUT IT ATB

nobody said your not better doing it yourself but you can read aswell. i personally find bloodlines of pure greyhounds, salukis and the coursing crosses very interesting.

hunting is what i prefer in most forms , i dont like reading lurcher books as most are drivel with no in put for expirenced guys who no the game , but every man to there selve , i saw mr darcy once takin pics of guys terriers in his back yard thought strange ,in county durham , for his next book ,years ago , there a need out there for a book about modern hunting and actualy properly entering a lurcher and hidden secrets that some of us keep close to the chest , and a lot will be lost to the old maker in time ,things about rating dogs when young picking dogs working dogs ,entering dogs , a book not just about basic obeidence a real hunting dog and man team, you get a hundred people on here putting pics up of dogs but not many give good knowledge ,or no alot , all the better for some , i was brought up breed of dogs that are tested , train them, enter them ,look after them like there your own

i would love to read any ones hunting exsperience, and dog lines etc etc, but im not that desperate at those prices. £40 pound a book doesnt justify it for me . when it could be spent on better things. i exspect i would get as much satisfaction out of reading as you would , but cant afford those prices

hes prices are too high the guys another plumber never hunted him self there all other mans storys he is full of shit,half his books are no good i lent that dead game book of a freid and it was shit,he fell out with my mate darren over printing his name in the book and begging pics of him.

Is this the crabbing JD thread?

 

I enjoy his books and i don't see many other people doing the same these days. If you have better experiences, ideas, photos and want to share then put them down in a book. Don't moan about someone esle doing it when you don't have the drive to do it yourself.

 

I have heard rumours of a book, would be interesting to read.

j.darcy books are all a good read and are the type of book you can read again and again.

[Guest Josy]

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Darcy his books are the best written on working lurchers and terriers so far.

[kanigra 110]

There good books & the pics are great. But it has bought some unwanted attension!!!

[lurcher330 2,301]

I have a few of J.Ds books here and each one was well worth the money i spent on them,

 

Sure the taxis i would get on a night out would cost more but i will have these books forever if i look after them
