I said something similar, about people moaning about paying decent money for pups, a couple of years ago.  Those same people think nothing about spending over a grand for an air rifle, sometimes 2 or 3 times a year, or upwards of 3-4 grand for a shotgun, but whinge like fcuk about paying for a nicely bred pup that will last them 10 years in the field!!  Madness.

couldnt agree more. Worry about quality first and cost next. Always seems to be enough money for guns, fashionable hunting boots and beer etc but want a lurcher for next to nothing.

les robinsons, early bedlingtonxs, definetlly carried willhay blood in them andwere good stock,the last dog i got from les in the 90s, carried stag night blood in him, made an excellent ferreting, lamping, and gun dog, sadly lost the blood line of that dog, not heard much of les for years now, but him and his missus were decent people to deal with, the bedlington blood was always rillington, he was a great friend of george newcombe, never had any thing to do with carl williams dogs , but hewas from my era, always had ads for his stud dogs and pups,in the old shooting news, really enjoy this thread, lot of you lads wouldnt even be born, when the likes of williams, les robinson,.bred good sound working stock, sadly just for dollar now

Think It was 40 years ago that I had that bitch got killed in road accident bloody  my 2 best dog have been her and a collie x whippet and never been able to get anythink like  them like rocking horse shit

Paradise!

We had to empty all the dog shit bins with our teeth, having had our arms pulled off at the shoulders, twenty five hours a day 8 days a week, and we paid them, then we huddled around a freezing cold lump of gravel to keep warm

Well, when I say teeth, they were only diseased gums with a couple of bits of broken glass pushed in, but they were teeth to us
