Bear also yesterday evening whilst out enjoying a day's hiking on the Lakeland Fells here at home.

Just to add old Don is still here plodding along,still manages two decent walks daily. He was 15 year's old back on the 21st March.

The young hound was 8 months old a fortnight ago now,she's coming along ok,as with most pups she has her moments where she can test your patience but it's certainly nothing I've not encountered before. Livestock training has been absolutely excellent,jumping great,retrieving great. She can gallop & I'd say she'll be nice to watch behind some gear come next season.

She's about 25 inch to the shoulder matey,that's gonna be about her now as far as height goes,as far as weight wise I could see her getting up towards the very high 20's in kilograms if not the low 30's when fully matured. She was weighed at the vets at 6 month's old & was over 22kg then..at the end of the day she will be what she will be buddy. She's well bred,she will get her chance & the rest is up to her at the end of the day. Were I a betting man I'd say she will be better than average.

I might've missed the info on her breeding, FUJI, but is she bred down from your own dogs?

Very nice pup, anyway.

No she isn't bred out of my lot Shaaark,she's far too good looking to be out of my ugly bunch..she's out of a couple of hard working runners, exactly what's in her makeup regarding specific breeds I ain't a clue? She's just a lurcher to me matey.

How far do you think you walk on a days hunting up on the hills? Have you ever measured on a smart watch or anything? Looks stunning.

Hey up buddy,yeah I wear a Garmin Fenix watch so get a fairly accurate description of a days trekking up on the hills,distance,calories burnt,ascent etc & obviously the dog's wear tracking collars so I get info on their shenanigans too. A very 'easy' day will see me doing about 8 miles,an average day between 13-15 miles & an extremely tough day in excess of 20 miles,those latter day's are beyond me these days unless at a snails pace haha..what I have found is that regardless of how far you walk & how successful or unsuccessful a day out is there is no easy day or at least not for an old cnut like myself.
