Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I was being facetious, of course it has been done,but so had the subject many times and usually ends with thread being locked and name lots of name callingmost of the subjects you can't even find on here properly. So instead of pointing out the obvious why not contribute or say nothing, no disrespect but comments like yours don't do no good for a clean post, I did state no bitching. Don't care who had the best dog etc, was just wondering if there was any stories of dogs to shared. Looking at the comments so far, it looks slim lol Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 My point exactly jepp...somewhere your not,I want being arsey,just it's been brought up a lot,and there's 2 trains of thought 1,it's impossible for a dog to stop a red deer, 2,lads that know it can but get called liars for saying so. So there little point in anyone telling their stories as it ends in a bitching match and the thread being locked 5 Quote Link to post
