Hi Peejay You have pm alison391

I know what you mean lurcherboy i spent the whole of the next day sad and misserable thinking about them, i do miss them but i still have 4 to keep me sane my life would be a a bit empty without them and at least the pup keeps me busy, there i go again the tears are back im off to look at old photos of them to cheer me up. alison391

I have just sat reading all the posts with tears pouring down my face at the thought of all the companions we have all lost. The first dog we lost was called chip she was a chocolate patterdale and such a loving dog, the second one was one that can never be replaced she was called tina, she was my husbands dog, she was a tint little cross terrier who was fearless, had a heart the size of a house and loved my husband so much, she was so loyal and the best little worker we ever had, the third was paddy, a lakeland terrier who was faithfull and loving and my friend. We miss them all so much and will never forget them, we have such happy memories of all my dogs past and present. alison391

hi mosa, just wondering how you are going on with the pup biting and nipping ? I have an 11 week old ess and she is a little handfull at the moment (well i say little she is the biggest pup i have seen at her age 6.8kg). She nipps and bites playfully at first but sometimes she seems like she is being really nasty, though her tail is still wagging she gets a glint in her eye. I have been putting it down to the fact that she was the only one that survived in the litter and she has had no siblings to play with so is using her time with me as she would her litter mates. I am hoping she will grow out of it but would be greatfull of any advise. thanks alison391

Hi Mike I dont no if you are sorted with this but if not i may be able to help.I do most of my shooting in and around Leyburn/Reeth ( i have a caravan there ) and ime up there on Sat for the rest of the week.Hopefully you can make it to Marne on Sun and we can have a chat. PADDY (Ian)

im not camping but will be there saturday and am quite happy to help drink your beer. alison391

I have had 2 beretta semi autos and if i was in the market for another semi it would be beretta, i tried all sorts before i got mine and most of the others you could either hear or feel the mechanism on, but the beretta felt smooth and was a lovely fit, i changed to an u/o recently and that is also a beretta. If you can get to humberside shooting ground or a shop that has a ground so you can try before you buy it would be time well spent. alison391

Taken a pic of the dam today before she gets any bigger alison

and this is the dam tonight getting ready for the pups

Just thought i would add some pics of the dire and dam. Sire FTCh Chraighaar Boris Dam Elinor of Derwen Fawr

We have an 03 and love it, it does all that we ask of it and more, went to devon last summer towing our 23ft caravan all our gear and our dogs and it had no problems at all comfy all the way, we have had a few 4x4s and this is the best one we have had so far, if we change it will be for another one, we get 35-40 to the gal in it so its not bad. alison

you have a pm. thanks alison391

Only 10 days to go till the pups are born

I have now made up the pedigree for the pups if anyone with a genuine interest would like to see a copy please email me. thanks alison

"An interesting point here for clay shooters who miss. Shot my first mini clays and got them. he says (why) The answer is simple a mini clay quartering out looks a long way away and going like a rocket. so what do you do. you tend to give it more lead and whack it. in a blind panic. most clays are missed behind but a mini decieves you. its probably nearer than you think. and slowing down quickly. I love mini clays." Do you like them as much as rabbits Rabbit B) (personal joke)

Pictures as requested Sire FTCh Craighaar Boris Dam Elinor of Derwen Fawr I can email pedigree to anyone with a genuine interest, we are expecting these pups to be of a large build and not the smaller fine boned type as both parents are well off for bone. Thanks alison391

Due to the new legislation on tail docking i am awaiting a call back from my vet to give me a price, once i have this i will be able to let you know. Thanks for your interest alison391

Yes pin they are from liver and white one you saw at thimbleby, the sire is FTCh Craigaar Boris who is also liver and white and is an excellent dog. alison391

I am expecting a litter of ESS around 27th May. I have posted under buy sell or swap. Thanks Alison391

I am expecting a litter of ESS around 27th May. Dam is from FTW with FTCh all through her pedigree the sire is a FTCh also with FTCh all through his pedigree. All will be legaly docked, certificated and K.C Registered. The pups will be for sale to good working homes. pedigrees can be emailed. If you have a genuine interest please pm me. Thanks alison 391

We wont be so cruel to mention the chip we know it would hurt your feelings, It was nice to meet you all and put some faces to names, had a good day, next time we come down and shoot i think i will have an early night the night before instead of partying till 2 then maybe i will be able to see the clays and who knows even hit them. I think we will make it summer next time we come though as its not as much fun shooting in the rain and cold but despite the weather we enjoyed it, we finally got home about 7.45 absolutly nackered so off to our beds now, thanks again alison and ian. p.s next time the 'chips' are on pin!!!!!

Well up north '*****' is slang for the travelling people, how on earth one expects to shoot any clays with a travelling person one will never know? I much prefer more modern methods i.e a shot gun. I have recently purchased a beretta 682 gold (coss hwmbo has one and he carnt have owt bart me avin one anall) so will see how many i can miss with it, and 24g hull for me (well i am a lady after all). see you saturday ttfn alison391

Looking forward to it just hope its better weather than we have had so far this week, very cold and a bit of snow. See you all Saturday alison391

Your not on your own mate, there is always the plastic friend though. :( alison Poor choice of words perhaps as there is SO much can be read into that LG Martin only you could take it that way? Well now you mention it i hope nobody at work reads this Thank You Barcleycard. Pin that sounds a really nice thing to do. See you all on Saturday. alison391
