For me I'd have dogs for day time and a dog for the lamp it's two totally different things for me now yes ok maybe the odd look no harm. In the past when I was stupid keen I would lamp n sometimes lamp all night n odd dog get a couple of races come dawn but I look at it differently now I'm older, plus I also think that if you do want a good daytime dog then lamping them a fair bit does spoil them for that in cover and changes there style to much for the day.. 1 Quote Link to post

Mc hull is a decent sort and he does me head in but I like what he keeps and so should most . I’ve got pick of the next litter that he breeds anyway , biggest dog , minimum 26in , guaranteed swamp masher . In keeping with the tradition of my naming policy of natural features from the local of the area. I sourced the pup ( fen , lake , Brook , cove , mere ) I’m very much looking to have “shithole “ ready to walk the big land Hi bud you can bring the dog down for a float along the sharp turns of river Thames e good 1 Quote Link to post

Yes mate still got her she’s a lovely bitch I don’t do a great deal anymore sadly as family life an career have took over all my hunting activities bit sad really because I’d hoped to carry on with this type for as long as I could as this type really suits me and the land round here but I think she’ll be my last for a bit once her Nan goes and I don’t think that will be long.
