Thanks for your reply, Aussie Whip. Quote Link to post

That is according to David Attenborough,a lot of wild dogs do it then follow up the blood scent knowing the animal will either bleed to death or become lame,wf 2 Quote Link to post

Everyone is welcome to their own views and that's my view on you. As you will have noticed, I joined THL around a decade ago. So according to your theory, I've been waiting for ten years to hatch my stitch up plan lool. So because it's my first post in a while, it can't be about deer? Hmmm... should it be about charlie, the reds, things with teeth? These names are used all over the threads, not exactly being subtle. It wouldn't be difficult if that was my aim. Yeah I'd like to see photos. So what? Everyone likes to see pics regarding their interests. I thoroughly enjoy looking at people's lurchers, not as much as I enjoy admiring my own dogs but a working dog in great condition is something my eye always wonders to. If I wanted to set people up, I wouldn't be so obvious. Watch out Saltspoon! I might just fly back to the UK and report you to the RSPCA. Lol Quote Link to post
