I should have wrote getting confused with. JB and MD. Not the original post but some of the replies. Unless the 2 lines are the same in which case it is me is confused, my apologies.

I’m not sure what you mean but no worries fella I don’t really know much about the breed just doing abit of research and seeing what everyone’s opinions are on them.

and definitely wouldn’t put rubbish to rubbish for me now it’s gotta be a bitch and a dog with a couple good seasons under their belt before I think about breeding them.

Same here pal seasoned worker to worker.I’ve no problem breeding for my self gifting a couple out to friends to work an putting the rest to sleep via a vet saves people having pups from me An doing wrong by them or them ending up on the merry go round f**k breeding for money I’m not in to dogs for financial gain my last litter I bred was a eye opener to the amount of bull shitting working an none working dog people out there people say why bother breeding...simple answer is for keeping honest bred dogs were I know the breeding is correct for my needs alone am wanting my own breeding

yes  you are spot on in what you say tommo, mick douglas the fenman must be a damn good age if he is still about,was areal character in the 80s used to walk the land barefooted and was a very well educated man ,who escaped the rat raceto live on the fens with his family and  lurchers, phil Lloyd did a story on him and the dogs many years ago in the old shooting news, don't think phil was too impressed by him at the time.

Mick was known as the marshman not the fenman as he lived out in the middle of the marshes in Norfolk.I had a little bitch about 20years ago bred out of a pals 2 Norfolk type lurchers bred down from stuff he'd had from Mick over the years.A really super intelligent biddable little thing that would have been perfect for someone that wanted a rabbiting,ferreting,mooching dog.Met Mick plenty of times as he used to come down and stay on his boat with his dogs not far from me.Also had a few days up on his marsh coursing and he'd always come out whatever the weather dressed in denim dungarees,shirt undone half way down and f**k all on his feet and walk the marsh with us letting his old bitch swiftney quarter the marsh marking hares in their seats for us.She would return to his side when he called her so we could run out and slip on them but the couple of times he let her run she made my mates fen dogs look daft for the first part of the coarse.He was also a very intelligent articulate man who i believe lectured at local collages.He passed away 4 or 5 years ago now.
