Congrats to LDR, and well done all of you for getting out and having a good night.

 

Couldn't help but laugh when I read you got pulled up LDR ...

it was longdogrunners and rew heat last night wich we ran up the dales on one of my farms , the very steep one

 

rew got off to a bad start missing his first , and longdog got off to a good start not missing for the first few. well we climed steadily upwards acounting for a good few . the wind was blowing well and there were good numbers out.

 

after an hour and a half we stopped and i quikly gutted all the rabbits they had 10 each , but longdog had a runn in hand.

 

now this farm is very testing for the dogs theres lots of steep banks and humps and hollers. but the dogs ran well acounting for most of there runns, in particular longdogs dog bruse, who went for a long period of not missing anything.

 

we then had a drop off at the road and longdorunner had 16 and rew 15, with logdog next to run. we crossed over the road lamping the fields down to the river . both dogs acounting for 1 each hear. then over the fence in to the next , this where rews dog cought a rabbit only to let it go , and the rabbit made its escape.

 

we carried on then down the road only catching one more . well that was the end off the night

 

and Longrunner had wone , the score was 20 angainst Rews 18.

 

for me personly it was a good night, normaly i hate going if im not running a dog , but i realy enjoyed it. we had a good crack and good sportmanship was shown by both parties, with both lads yousing there lamps to asist the others dogs when they go over a brough in the field.

 

i will now comment on both dogs. i have seen rews dog work better, and i think the long layoff from a decent haul combined with its reacent injury didn't help. but of course thats all part in parcel of running dogs.

 

now longdog has also had similar injurys to contend with , and of course the recent poor weather hasn't helped us lads keep the dogs at the top of there game. but i was impressed with bruce he ran well and didn't miss many at all , he also has a good retrive.

 

now last but not least after we set of for home i got a srange mobile number ring me

 

its only the police they have stopped logdog on the way home, of course he aint a clue where hes been of course i told the copper he was a no good poacher who should be locked up . he asked me a few questions ,and as a last comment i said to the copper "if your having a quite night keep him there for a bit longer"

 

well done to both of you TOMO REW PUT SOME PICS UP MY MRS HAS TOOK THE CAMERA TO WORK

A great night by the sounds of it, two good lads with two good dogs ,and fair play to you for putting up the land ATB .Inan.

Yes I'm sure that's just what they thought when they laid eyes on you

 

Did you do a quick mental rundown of what you had/didn't have in the car ....? Bet your tummy did a flip flop when they flashed their lights

Well done lads sounds like a good night

first of all i will just like to thank Tomo for judging the heat and like always a cracking guy to talk to.me and my dad had a really good night ,great lamping conditions and plenty of action and it was a good laugh but it was a pity time just flew.both dogs did ever so well even with the recent injurys they have had just lately ,hardly missing any but bruce really looked like he was on form,great turn of speed and being able to turn with it ,good strike and nice retrieve.nice meeting you LDR , a sound bloke and i wish you the very best in your next heat aswell as tomo.the best dog on the night won even though there wasnt much in it.i bet you was gutted when you were pulled LDR we should have a lamp out again sometime in the future.all the best

 

Heres some pics ,not the very best but if someone could brighten up the darker ones it would be much appreciated.

 

 

good hunting

[tote 854]

Congratulations LDR and hard luck REW and well done to both for a good nights sport.

 

Hopefully the comp can now move forwards and the lads and dogs that are left in can get their second round heats run in the next week or so as the moon is just coming right.

 

Good luck to everyone that's still in.

[LDR 29]

Its always a sinking feeling when the flashing lights go on......you gotta hand it to the copper for being thorough, getting me to ring Tomo on the coppers phone, to clarify where i'd been!!!!

 

It could've been an advert for BT.....'Its good to talk'

Congrats and commiserations to the fellas involved, good to see sportsmen getting out and 'doing it'.
