    It also pays to have someones mum cook for the crew every night.
    Where can I book all that?? Would almost be worth the trip overseas to the NI
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    It would be rude of me to invite myself, and your dog handling would most likely make mine look like pure muppetry.

    Also I am alergic to tweed, but at least I have a couple dogs of a proper breed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good show what!!

    Hi guys,
    Just found my way in here two weeks before I'm leaving the country..
    I personally think you're wasting your opportunities by not going one generation further away from Woody. Woody was a great dog but he had some flaws too. By using Inti (who'll be 10 yrs on 28th Feb) instead, you'll get that generation further out from Woody, you'll get the NZ lines and you'll get the European/American lines. Both of Inti's parents naturally used the wind intelligently. Woody had to have it drilled into him by Leon. I think that Woody, like Sharnberry Shooter in the past, would come more into his right as a grand-sire - - if bred right. Most of the NZ blood has already been lost. You should grab what's left of it when you have the chance, which also opens up to more options next time around!
