Wee tribute to the old boy

[Arry 22,063]

Nice JR you got there John just what I would like if the wife would let me have another. Try and get a pup from him mate or you will  regret it.  I've had them to a ripe old age of 19 of course not working for the last years, but surprising how long they can go on if looked after. Atb.

Cheers Arry

Cheers fella he’s starting to slow down now An getting crabby afterwards . He’s one off the cleverest wee dogs I’ve had an can adjust easily to wotever I choose my outing to be . Had a day las year he was flushing a wood out a few roe  came out . Never seen him then came round the edge on a fox was away a further 20 mins a thought he must be at ground walked the edge off the wood An found him chasing a hare back thru he’s been a pleasure not great at anything but adaptable to everything

That reminds me so much of a JR I had called Snowy (picture of him jumping sideways through a gate in the snow in "show us you white dogs"). He was a great all rounder, best sort I recon. Atb.

Cheers Arry

Why not look into taking straws off him John .If the the technology was about 20 years ago im certain i would of had same from two dogs i had about then .Cracking looker that dog mate and sounds like a decent worker .Just to add ,we all strive to put our best over the best available but if a gene is worth preserving ,second rate stock from good breeding can and will produce the goods with correct nururing. All the best and hope theres a good few seasons left in him .

It must be cheap. There's two lads in Westmeath who must be doing it as they've sold pups who's fathers were dead 4 years before the pups were born and these 2 lads are not known for spending money.
