Cock fighting...... Flodden style

having been attacked by that wretched cock I am in awe of Flodden's bravery. When that thing gets you it really really hurts :)

Flodden is doing really well, such a happy, friendly chap. Off to the National Terrier show next month so he is working on his weight gain :)
 
Do not forget that "Courage grows with a wound" and there are plenty fought under the banner of Stewart!....... and I do not favor Independance either.
 
Tell the "Cock" he'd best keep turning the other cheek, either that or the terrier is not worth a ****.
 
Spook, "Virescit vulnere virtus" 'Courage grows strong at a wound' and the battle of Flodden was a victory of bill over pike, the english billhook with its blade beating the scottish pike.

The reason he was named Flodden was that my last dog was Bosworth, the next main battle in British history was Flodden, a small Northumbrian village, Bedlingtons come from Northumberland. So the battle theme continued in my dogs names. I have been told by my Scottish brother in law, that when I take him to their house he is to be called Floddy, not Flodden as it is rather a sore point in Scotland.
 
Indeed, do not forget that for some, so far south as parts of the of the Vale of Mowbary were once considered to be a part of Scotland.

I am happy to say that my Youtrkshire Grandfather kept a Bedlington..... but it did not look particularly fashionable by todays standards.
 
in my experience Hadrians wall should never have been breached :) The northern Bedlingtons and the southern Bedlingtons are very different to look at because of their trims, and the working trim is very different from the showing trim. They have not really changed that much over the years.
 
Totally hijacking the thread here with my random memories - but many years ago I was part of a team re-enacting the battle of Flodden as part of the half-time entertainment at an American Football Match (can't remember the teams, but there was some famous (apparently) American Football player called "The Fridge"). I was on the Scots side, pretending to be a man, wearing a lovely plaid and looking very Braveheartish!
