My dog was never on a lead ever I used to have the same attitude as you! it's not fair on the dog he shouldn't have to spend his life on a lead that was until I witnessed my dog losing it!! if your happy to live with the consequence of your dogs actions then that up to you! Wouldn't you rather enjoy a walk with your dog on a lead knowing its of no danger to livestock than risk it being shot for attacking livestock!!

I used to have a very quite well tempered jack Russell ( they do exist) he loved children and would never have a go at another dog or animal, but one day last year I was in the garden, the dog was laid in the sun in his usual place when out of nowhere he got up and ran for the gate at the side of the garden he jump over the wall and ran 500yards up the drive across a road into a field of sheep! he ripped the windpipe out of one of them before I could catch him! I had had that dog for 9 years and I had never seen such a wild look in his eyes! He had never shown any interest in sheep until that day! I informed my boss (the farmer) and I paid for the damage my dog had caused, I sat with that dog for while after and his temperament had totally changed! I put him down that night as I couldn't risk him attacking the children! I've had to shoot a collie that the owner had been walking it off a lead through cows and calfs that had also never shown aggression towards livestock but had flipped!! I think all animals are unpredictable and for people to say there dog wouldn't hurt a fly is in my opinion the wrong attitude for an animal owner to have how can you be sure your dog won't flip and attack or even kill livestock or even a child!!

Hello buddy

I've just been informed by my children that I'm wrong it's upsy daisy

It's a tombly boo if I'm not mistaken

O rig all the way! there is a thread on here already about it with pictures

If it says demonstrate, that means the assessor wants you just to answer the question anything else is practical I believe

Well done Steve really useful

Yes it's good, it does the same job as the o rig! it gets your hitch up a bit so you can body thrust you've got to be careful you don't make your hitch out of reach tho, the good thing with the o rig you can bring your hitch back down to the normal position you can't with a sling!

I tie mine like this, it doesn't tend so well but it grabs every time, it's a copy of Drews setup

Thanks everyone I'm gonna risk it! It's our first time to Yorkshire so really looking forward to it.

There's always one :0)

I don't really want to be carrying stinking diesel cans in the car but if I have too I will!

I'm off on holiday to Yorkshire Monday with the wife and kids but due to the lack of fuel stations having fuel I'm considering not going! I've got plenty of fuel to get there but not enough to go sight seeing and get back home! I've tried to contact all the fuel stations in York and surrounding areas but I'm being told there is no fuel!! Also no likelihood of a delivery till mid week! If this is correct most people will have used there fuel and be desperate to fill up again resulting in panic buying again,to be honest I don't want to spend my holiday searching or queuing for fuel what would you lot do? Regards paul

Spot on mate!

As bad as it sounds! I think the only thing that could bring the country back together again would be a war!! Bring back national service to educate and discipline our disrespectful youth of today!!

I know the ones you mean evil little buggers!! I think they like to hang around silver birch, I normally see alot of them in may June. Don't know what there called tho.

Too much information I think!

Nice one nick.

Thankyou gents I will give them a try tomorrow Paul
