Does he still keep dogs

Met him out hunting last year, his dog had killed a brace.

Fair play to him, a lot of men his age would be retired and telling the legendary tales but Phil is still out there walking the walk.

A friend of mine has a dog from him if its the same chap hes a fine big dog but i heard hes fond of a sheep or ten

[border lad 1,047]

I was in his yard once, back in the early 1990to91 some time around those dates, His yard was a bit rough, a few sheep rib cages lying around and some old rear tractor tyres, I think some of his young dogs was sleeping in them, I was trying to have a conversation, with him about his breeding, mostly strong Irish terrier, through greyhound, dogs stood around 24" short coupled, good coats on them that was there + point to me ((( but not my type of Lurcher, I said would you put a bit of Saluki through them, he gave me a look that would that would mean death to you, I was well dressed, He must have thought I was a TAX Inspector, his conversation was very dry, I was telling him about one of his breed, who he sold to an old travelling man, the dog was called Tucker, it belonged to the Late Tom Mason,((( he was called Tucker himself, he listened to the story, but very little conversation came from his side,so I left (((( genuine he must have thought I was a Taxman,

Border Lad was this the same Tom Mason who often stayed in the Carlisle Area and coursed his dogs at Longtown Cumbria?

[Fat-Ferret 857]

He must be a fair age now

Yes that was the man,

[toblue 149]

Border Lad. Yes I can just remember Tom Mason. We had heard great things about his Tucker dog and were invited to go and watch it run. A big hairy animal if it was the same dog and Tom was a wiry sort of bloke.

 

Tucker was another dog who could be stopped in his tracks off the lead when hares were running around all over the place.

 

We only went out with Tucker and Tom twice. The first morning Tom was very edgy (nice enough fella though) and would hardly step inside of a field he just jumped Tucker over the gate, hares were getting up maybe 50 yards away and Tucker would be looking at Tom for the go ahead. Tom never gave him the go ahead so we never got a run. I was totally amazed I had never seen anyone have such control over a dog. The second morning we ran a couple but he never caught one. I think he may have picked a few rabbits up as a token gesture. At the time Tom was said to be running Tucker for big money on best out of 3 daytime hares. If I had been a gambling man (or had any money to gamble with) I would have taken him on with my little dog.

 

Tucker looked like the kind of dog who needed to run with a faster dog to compliment his style.

 

Sorry to go off topic.
