longdogrunner very sorry to hear about your loss of a great companion, lets not dwell on the loss of him , but look to the fact he was doing what he done best , giving himself and you countless nights of thrillseeking pleasure , don't lose sight as to what's happened , because as you are well aware it's only the good that die young , be positive , another dog of similar ability will come along another day, then you can continue to train to the same high degree, another sapling ,

who will continue to give the same thrillseeking experiences as before.

Words completely fail me and mine we truly are gutted for you. I went out a good few times with Billy and he's going to be a big miss. RIP big fella.XX

julie nice type of dog ,good long back , its a real fecher as some times you cannot replace a dog ie no parents or they are long gone , its so easy on good ground to have another chase , all the best its a fecher keep the chin up and wel you have the spring and summet to rejuvinate and either replace or say fech it long dog ,

The big fella, Billy, was my dogs working partner, and we were out on Thursday for a run on a few : I wasn't there Friday, but I know Billy would have given his all. To see a 28" dog lamping rabbits and retrieving live to hand was great, but to see him in full flight, daytiime, on the big stuff, was a sight to behold !!! I'll miss him......
