THE STIFFMEISTER 15,752 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Every single beddy I’ve ever seen or owned has wobbled when the numbers got serious just from experience, they are ideal for mooching around etc but for serious work they just lack the weight and strength for serious work 1 Quote Link to post

I remember the days when you could bob down into the dykes and run a couple of fields away and that was the end of it. . . . Now they get the helicopters out and road block the area.... sod that for a game of soldiers. Thanks fekk some of us have actually lived through the golden years. . . .

THE STIFFMEISTER 15,752 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Honestly , as a younger man I lamped the small hilly fields of Cumbria, hillocks hedgerows ditches , I was lucky enough to spend a few seasons hunting exclusively with the lad who made the Kiera goes lamping videos kiera was exclusively collie greyhound, and was ran hard for a few seasons, show me a beddy that can handle that amount of work , you can’t as none can or could on that terrain . Fact. Kiera was powerful quick hardy intelligent and three pups better than her in the opinion of her owner , incidentally Kiera is still alive at nearly 20 theres not a beddy blooded dog in the country to lace her boots imho Quote Link to post

I think we have all strayed from the fold,..the sheer excitement and thrill of the spotlight's glare, ignited in a fire in the hearts of most hunting men... It gave us all,..another way to work our dogs. ..it was great,..it was safe,...the night belonged to us... No,..I've never regretted, walking by night, but nowadays, I much prefer to see the dawn come up. and take in the fabulous sights of rural Britain... 9 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,400 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Much as I think the world of him I wouldn't have a bull cross again I just don't need that amount of umph. I just want to catch a couple of rabbits not take out any game with in a ten mile radius every time I set foot out the door and he can't shoot for shit Not sure if a collie cross would fit the bill but if I have another I want some thing a bit more laid back Edited June 23, 2018 by terryd 4 Quote Link to post
