FUJI 17,156 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Aye i get your drift Whin matey,I don't think it's EVER been shouted from the rooftops that these types were out and out hare dogs as far as I am aware? Lamping anything that's worth a few bob was more their forte IMO? Exceptions to that there will obviously be though? Personally I think they have shown great longevity in this owld game of hunting? It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that the blood of the pinnacle dog of this type in Blue is getting thinner in dogs around today but IMO some of the dogs since Blue have been bloody good animals and are more than worthy of breeding off?

FUJI 17,156 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 To be honest Whin I ain't a jack of all trades lol...I'm just a dog lad who has been doing the rounds for a wee while,I ain't been lucky enough to hunt around the world like yourself and others? Hunt jack rabbits,bears etc: Would of loved to though lol..I just say my piece about MINSHAW type dogs because Ive been keeping them for a year or two and have been lucky to see plenty of them in the field..Minshaws Blue,Nigger,Rambo,Bulpa,Traveller,Chester,Jack,Growler and stacks more..I've seen some toppers and I've seen some duffers but that's lurchers for you.ATB Andy 4 Quote Link to post
BLACKWATER... 157 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 there s more to life than dogs mate even tho i love the dogs coursing any hunting at all ,ive been lucky and clever enough to have lived a good life , a book about just dogs is fine but in life the more fun and hunting fishing the more intresting a book makes , a books good but not ready to give in to it and if you write it has to come from the heart at times which makes it spikey and truthfull, Quote Link to post
