SCOOBY

[bigdaz 688]

No offence intended, but, there are a lot of dogs out there both alive and dead that will never have a mention in despatches that were probably the equivilant and better than the Scooby dog. Plummers merle must be a legendary albeit dead animal. To be fair I don't think the man tried to big the dog up, just wrote a book about an animal he cared for and rated in his opinion. Don't mean it was anything special to the next man.

Yer sorry should of put darcys scooby but I know he wasn't a beddy x lol he was an amazing deer, fox, rabbit, hare dog that gave his all but eventually hit a wall out coursing and died

there are dogs out there that can take that variety of game with ease , i dont know what makes this one so special ,.................is it because its in a book

 

exactly what i was trying to get at!!!

Not bein funny mate but if you've got the book and are untreated in the dog or hearing about him why not have a good read of the book? Nobody will be able to tell you about him better than darcy it was his dog.

My favourite book by Darcy. You could tell how he felt about that dog by the way he wrote.

[sikastag_1 689]

Nobody's saying he was the best dog to live lads,darcy doesn't claim he was the best dog ever either he just wrote a good book with an honest account of a good dog he owned and worked.

Scooby was around a 5/8 grey 3/8 saluki and you wouldn't get much better by anyones standards as a running dog i witness the dog run a few times and it always never failed to impress me.

 

Thankyou u bernie for a sensible response there

are some dick heads on here typical Internet hunters that don't have a clue, he must or been amazin to watch, he was never bred off as far as I know is that right ?

Loads of jelousy in this game, used to go and get a fella that would ring me up to go out, but when I turned up he wouldn't bring his dog out, it had just eaten ect, his was a yapper and after I witnessed it, he tried to find fault in my dogs. Won't mention no names but he of here always talking shit, giving people advice when he just left school lol, but that's the lurcher game. R I p scooby.

One thing i should of made clear is the dog no matter how good he was had an owner that thought the world of him and who put the dog in situations were he could be the best he could be. We have all had dogs that aren't 100% what we want but IMO this is were a true dog man shows his worth by getting the best from a dog and using what ever strengths it has. No matter what doubts i have in my head about Scooby's legend status i would never doubt the love JD had for him.

Anyone got a copy of the book ? ?

 

A cheap jizzed stained, dog eared copy will do. It does not need to be pristine

Agreed wilf,,, good post P.... It's something I try to do as well, lots of Dogs have shortcomins ,, but most lads won't admit to others, in fact they won't believe it themselves . You can often work round faults,, just have to think different and work to the dogs strengths.
