Simoman 110 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi Everyone, Just a little about me, started off as a teenager lamping with the family collie before buying a Plummer Terrier which I used for ratting, rabbiting and bolting the odd fox from local brickyards and ironworks. Currently have an eight year old Nuttall bred bitch (Miner/Raven) and two German Shepherds from european working lines. The bitch has been used for rats, rabbits and seems to have a passion for hedgehogs!! and has only been to ground a handfull of times (once for 60 hours after joining my shepherd on a midnight fox course) as most of my time has been spent training sport dogs (obedience, tracking and manwork). Trying to work the shepherds in the field with the terrier and see what happens Really got out doing more after reading the Darcy books and realising what I was missing. Look forward to getting involved in disscussions and i'll try and post some photos now i'm getting the hang of a digital camera. Cheers Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Cheers Boys, Looking forward to getting involved in the topics exchanging banter. Mick, if you haven't already seen them you ought to try and get the Leerburg DVD's, they are expensive and require a muti-region player but have excellent training ideas. Dutch Shepherds and Mali's can be proper "tools". My older GSD is from Belgian imports and is a high drive dog, looks nothing like the British bred show dogs I'm now trying him with my terrier, not sure what will happen but i'm sure we will both enoy it.
