We were out this morn for a dig local to me.My diging partner and his mate arrived with me around 9 and after a cuppa we set of for the area we planned to work.The 1st earth we tried i collared up mt

Were you tempted to swap terriers Fatman, LOL. Yer one would get some shock if she looked into her yard and seen two black ones, LOL. It's good to see that not all pet dogs have lost the instinct. Y

when we were kids not that long ago we would go on the ratch with out few dogs and 2 russles that wonderd the estate and could be lured away as well a a couple of dog we would borrow from various men

Years ago it wasn't that uncommon for working terriers to ramble and many's a terrier was took out on a Sunday morning still bearing the wear and tear it took on Saturday while doing it's own nixer.

There used to be a lad a few mile from me with some great earths near the back of his house and more than a few times I'd be walking to the earths and I'd see his lurcher standing on the earth with his head cocked to the side listening to the terrier working.

The quarry in that area were NEVER easy to dig. They seen terriers nearly on a daily basis.

nice one fat man, imagine you hadn't heard them and tipped a dog in !!!

I dread to think what the outcome would have been but when we got the russells out and away up the field we entered a bitch of mine and dug her about 20yds away from where we dug the russells and she was with the quarry.

Your lurcher roaming PK reminds me of two lurchers I had when I was young. Windy and Blue they were called and I use to let them out for an hour every morning before I'd go to school. They were proper old fashioned pot fillers and Windy often brought rabbits home.

Anyway, one morning I went to put them in and the two of them were sitting on the patio out back looking all guilty. Plus they were covered in blood.

I looked them over and they fine, bloody but fine.

Anyways, my brother was at primary school at the time and that morning the teacher asked the class had anyone their news from the weekend.

One girl stood up and said that she had news. She pointed at my brother and screamed "My news is that his brothers dogs killed my cat."
