FUJI 17,327 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Andy and Steve you to need to stop winking at each other or people will be talking Also Andy what height was growler and what was he like grafting wise on everything, also did he have much in the tank ? I remember Gary mentioning the dog a few times when we was out roadsideing. Cheers Atb Growler might of been 25 1/2 tts touching on 26 i'd say? He was litter sister to Gary's little red bitch,he was the biggest in the litter,i'm not sure what he was like on foxes and such Freelance but he was handy enough on beasties upto Fallow size and could kill a bag of bunnies and hares,great retriever too,my mate from Ireland travelled over years ago and went out with Growler & Shane the Bull x..he told me that on that night there was only one dog that impressed him and that was Growler? His wind was good what i seen of him but i know he had far bigger hauls when not in my company?..i can recall bumping into him many times up North of the Border with a motor full of gear,infact once or twice we pulled up and watched Growler running ..one night Shaun had a pure Border Collie with him and Growler ...he had well into double figures of hares with him,not sure how the Collie performed though? Growler bred several litters and there was some handy pups floating about off him,most were white with the odd patch of colouring..i know two of his pups were exported to Canada,they must of thought something about them to have them shipped across the Atlantic? I NEVER ever heard one single person say a bad word about that dog and even Vic said he was a good un ..lovely temperament he had too...ATB Andy 1 Quote Link to post

No meaning whatsoever to be perfectly honest ..it all came about one day we were having a bit of dog craic at one of my mates Jacko's house,Vic was there,big Barney,Snix,Jacko and one or two more ..Vic at that time had bred some pups (Conan & Co litter) and there was a big dog pup in the litter that Vic had nicknamed Bullops ..as the craic got onto this pup big Barney just came out with calling it Bulpa instead of Bullops..we all set off laughing and piss taking him and that was it lol..i said there and then i'm gonna call my pup Bulpa ...meant nowt at all,ain't ever known of another and i'd never call another dog Bulpa,he was one in a million and thats how i'll remember him ...ATB Andy. 4 Quote Link to post

We are at page 254 and Hedgy ask a question from a statement I made on page four I know what a good dog can do in the right hands I would put that cornish rabbit statement in a different light..... Anyone going to Cornwall running rabbits with Mr Brick has to a have a very fit dog before it even looks at a rabbit it has to cover some distance, if I rightly remember he went lamping one night with Hedgy and they covered 20 odd miles, dogs just trotting at the side of the jeep.. For some of these dogs the drive alone would finish them... I dont know if my dogs could step up to the challenge, If I was to intertain such a thought I would be trotting my dog with a bike attemping to get up to 15 miles 3/4 times week under its belt .. I would have no fear run for run my dogs could hold there own but there basic fitness levels and endurance would be no where near at the moment... I run my dogs in a more traditional manner Quote Link to post
freelance 448 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Got a funny story that KB told me happened to him back in the ,s when he was out running his old minshaw dog. He was out lamping roadsiding for hartleys in a Mini van ( I think it was ). KB got off the van once a hare was spotted and got in the field to run them, at this point he noticed headlights in the distance so knocked the lamp off while the driver in the Mini van drove off for a while to take the heat off. KB waited for what seemed like ages for his van to come back. Eventually he see,s the Mini van pull up just past the five bar gate. Gets over opens rear door to chuck dogs and a hartley in, YOUR NICKED SON ! Only a fecking copper driving it LOL. The plod had stopped KB,s mate in the Mini van down the road sussed what was going on and one of the coppers drove the mini van back to nick KB. They both got a charge sheet for that one, that's a true story chaps. Later KB told me that from that night onward,s they always left interior light on when going back to pick up a lamper so they could see who was driving, to this day that story still tickles me Cheers Atb 9 Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,327 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yep,that running beside the motor has got to take it's toll but fairplay to the Brick it works for him,it's not really my cup of tea when it comes to bunny bashing but i suppose anyone going down there will have to go along with the way he works the mutts?..when in rome do as the romans do kind of thing?..ATB Andy. 1 Quote Link to post

jack lee 137 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 WELL i suppose if you judge a dog by how well it runs belong the side of a truck,mark is in a league of his own,what with all the land he has available to him,i know you could not get away with it were i live,you would be nicked in no time,but has mark not run anyother place besides cornwall,if so how did his dogs perform,i no of the time he did well on the fens,but im referring to lamping,a good lurcher should be able to run on any ground, Quote Link to post

Did you take your half cross Minshaw down to Marks?? If so how did it fair ?? So Wispa finished her career stalking ?? I thought she had turned off rabbits ?? If I am wrong I stnd corrected Like I say, you will know the truth fella, you have been down his and took some big bags.. Do you know anything about this depressive trait ?? Picking and choosing on nights ?? Yeah Jack belive he done well in other areas, Got beat at Northumbria. On that score I think he got a bum deal the travel would of took its toil on the dog, I was never his best pal but even had a wager backing him to win. He got beat on the night, I was surprized. Long runners Bruce beat his but it was not record breaking numbers considering the time of year conditions etc... A dog only has to catch on the land you personally chooose to run on JMO.. I aint arsed if my dogs cant run big open whin land, why ??? Because I dont need to travel that far for a good night out. This traveling the lengh of the country is ok for some it dose not intise me.. When you chuck work and family commitments into the mix. Now this is better than talking about Greyhounds and alsations :laugh: Edited June 23, 2012 by Giro 1 Quote Link to post
