The most impressive bit is the size of the pointer kennel filmed in 1930's
The amount of dog food required per week is unbelievable
We did quite a few hours on the river today for no trout . The boys are getting 2 sets of MM bisquits and venni ribs cleaved up. Growing up in the 60's an old bloke told me ... I feed my dogs before I feed myself.
That was drummed into me as a young shepherd. Stayed with me for life.Quote:
