OK Cruz fair engough But you entered the ring of posting pictures of your dogs which can sometimes get the replies we all like ,and sometimes the comments we dont like . Do you see me crying over Mags comments over if I wanted a fat lab lurcher ETC. Also I started a seprate topic on this subject you guys entered the ring again so you have to take the rough with the smooth on comments . Once again good luck you two Cookie

Cruz I have perfomed over tha last two months rabbit clearance for a estate where I get paid for my work I have posted only a fraction of my days out but if you spin though my sporting pictures you will see I have posted about my bags ETC. Right I have only two working dogs for rabbit catching the long legged terrier is my fert dog I have worked him 5 days a week for over two months and your thoughts about him are correct his main task is to catch the rabbits within a short distance lighting take off . Part of my self employment this year has entailed 3 paid contracts for rabbit clearance . Our bedlington whippet is our and I say our as me and wife are both keen she working him on the lamp and is out 3 nights week as he is now 13 bar the hard spell in december when it was too hard for safe running. And once again trying to smooth you over has failed and despite my best polite effort you still think I am clueless on rabbit control. And pegleg you where correct in your view on my reply . Once I bid you all the best Cookie

You boys still going Cookie

Cruz I respect your knowledge and views which is great and I have no problem with them. Nor should you mine and I dont mean to disrespect you or your dogs and nor should mine as mine is a slightly diffrent design to yours your pure running dog . I would post more picture of our bedlington wippet but pointless with a very rough coat to show his condition to you. I start this topic seprate to the sporting pictures to try and avoid comparing my dogs to others. I have diffrent views on dogs and thats that like I would never run two high speed missle on the same rabbit EG what happen when the two high speed missle clash with a impact speed of nearly 60MPH and nor let them fight over it like others do . I also take exception to your comment that I dont know what I on about with clearly my catch rate which doesnt happen overnight I like you have some knowledge on this subject. I on the other hand think you know what your on about and respect your reply. Thank you for reply and take care Cookie

Great post to highlight this threat well done Cookie

Very PC even if true Cookie

Oh dear Keep at Magwitch I still enjoy your posts and catches you have great days I agree to disagree. Cheers Cookie

Magwitch I have struck a nerve it the end season yes you catch and work the land like I do and know a thing or two about the countryside . I two catch rabbits heres 69 caught with ferts and longnets plus dogs . I know you what to promote the image of running dogs and owners which is great and I am all for that but anybody viewing that picture with no know knowledge of running dogs would be horrfied FACT.

Magwitch if we going to compare pictures of dogs then here we go . Which dog would I be proud to say I own and which one would I bet on in a race or lamp with. Nine rabbits taken with one dog on hard to catch mid winter conies Or which looks like it need a rest and some condition Cheers Cookie

£2500 as a rough guide more if you was selling in the south. Cheers Cookie

For me this what your running dog should look like Cheers Cookie

Or was doing the right thing maybe trying to avoiding a punchup maybe he was a gun owner who didnt want to risk his licence . Cheers Cookie

To put in in prespective if the lorry drove at the 40MPH max for a 25 miles it would cover the distants in roughly 37 mins If you done the same 25 mile trip at 60MPH it would take 25 mins . And on the other hand if the driver of the HGV was doing a 150 mile trip . AT 56 MPH it would take 2HRS 40mins AT 52mph it would take 2 HRS 53mins So overtaking that HGV going four mile a hour slower could be the diffrents in making a delivery slot or not. So there are two sides to story as always and nether will yield to there own selfish views and needs or job needs. Cheers Cookie

Picked up a polecat today we are guessing left by some so called pro pest controllers working for thames water. Not all loose ferrets are down to happless owners leaving them behind . Cheers Cookie

Whats worst a slow moving HGV or a speeding car . Lets face it we have nearly all cane around in our younger days does it get you to work earlier err NO. Its all about being fluten when driving more so in a HGV take a chill pill and tuck up behind the HGV and have happy thoughts . Cheers Cookie
