MINSHAW .....

Any book worth writing will have its naysayers. The Quoran and the Bible spring to mind. Andy should get it written. Its worth writing, and there are enough pictures to paint the 1000 words he cannot think of.

I am sure it will have been one of the same litter. Some travellers also bought one, the only brindle in the litter. The rest were as you described.

 

I never seen the first Blue, or at least I can't remember. I am not so sure if the first Blue would have taken Red as I was with Victor the first time he saw a Red in the lamp and he went crazy... A full bloody herd of them near Grisedale. Nipper had a good try!!

 

It was an hectic time with some great characters. Old Bob Mossem was the main man in the beck (the river Derwent) along with being the top Chicken man. Vic was of course top dog man and the list could go on.

 

A great dog called Sport from Cleator Moor who was stolen by Travelers, but that is a longer story, as is the great fighting men from the Moor. One of the best daytime hare dogs I have ever seen in my life was owned by a guy from Maryport and only stood 21" to the shoulder.

Some crackin posts to blue..
