Good to hear your season has been fruitful. Mine likewise, it's my first in a while my old lurcher passed away a few years ago and due to certain circumstances I've been dogless since May 06. When I got myself a whippet pup. So really it's just been bringing her on slowly but surely. A bit...
I know it's almost a cliche' but I was just amazed that in that area, I think it was Rochdale not 100% on that though, the breeder had to give the pied pup away. because of this archaic superstition. The new owner told me it was turning out to be the better dog of the two.

Thanks for the replies and kind words yes they're all growing well it's amazing how quick it goes. I took Ebb ferreting this morning no nets just wanted a bit of sport for the dog she got a couple of runs out of it. Sadly the rabbits are few and far between round by us, a late dose of myxy...
