    The hairy bikers do a rabbit stew, it has smoked bacon, plenty of cider and takes a couple of hours of cooking but well worth it, you'll need to google it as I don't know how to do links but it's easy to find, can't recommend it highly enough.

    Cracking looking dog.

    Years ago me and a mate made the trip to Salisbury, I wasn't living in Wiltshire then, when we got there the flags were flying to show there were manoeuvres on and you weren't allowed on. Being young and stupid we decided to have sport anyway, killed one and hid it, and then got caught by military police. Was pretty impressive as we had got ourselves into the middle of there manoeuvres, helicopters and assorted vehicles. We told them we were just walking the dogs and had got lost and that we hadn't seen flags. They took all our details, checked them and checked we hadn't been caught before, o

    Anybody wearing an heavy tweed jacket can afford to be shot at least once in their lifetime.It was one of those ones with a quilted liner that you used to be able to buy off the markets. Never said it was the only time I've been shot.

    I've been on both sides of this, around 30 years ago while crossing a field with a mate I flicked the lamp on as I new there was a large ditch in the middle of the field, as soon as the light went on I was shot in the back from 70-100 yards with a shotgun, (almost certainly 12 gauge). We left the lamp and battery in the bottom of the ditch and got away, the farmer never even came over to see what he'd hit. Luckily I was wearing a heavy tweed jacket and although the shot went through it, it barely broke the skin. We sneaked back next day and retrieved the battery and lamp, despite my mate being

    Too old for having pups really, 9 years old, but I wanted a pup from her as she's been a great dog over the years. If I'd taken her to Ireland I know she would have killed a lot of hares and a lot of roe Great with ferrets, retrieves rabbits, comes back as soon as lamp goes off without being called. She has lost her edge now so where as when she was at her peak everything would go her way now they slip through a gap in the hedge rather than turning back to her.

Will post pics as soon as I've made them small enough. Be good if a youngster or someone starting out had them but first come first served. Message if interested. North Wiltshire.

    Might be of interest to people, amazing shop in Canada , bears , wolves , beavers ( not that kind ), foxes , raccoons , all taxidermy done by the people who own the shop, they also do some of the trapping , question is can I fit a bear in my suitcase.

    Does no one drive the big fields anymore!

    All different but 12 months ish, no doubt plenty will do it earlier but no point ruining a young dog by starting it too soon.As for the red stags I'd let him have a couple of rabbits first, and make sure his retrieving is spot on, you don't want to have to carry a stag yourself.

    Ok mr pedantic!! Lol Not "fawn"ing over me I hope.

    Keeping the non brindle I think.

    Definitely over 50 years old as he died before I was born, apparently taken on the family "holiday" which was spent hop picking. No mistaking the type of dog, looks like a pot filler to me and probably had to be.

    Thinking about this, I don't have a problem with people taking rabbits in the summer especially if it's to get a young dog going, but wouldn't like to see hares taken (in Ireland say) and I think there are a few good reasons.Rabbits are pests and will produce several litters in a season, starting as soon as the temperature increases and carrying on into autumn, they also mature quickly and so can reproduce in the same year they are born. Hares might possibly have a second litter but only I believe if they lost the first, also the leverets won't breed until the following year and the litters ar

    First time out in the garden today, 4 1/2 weeks old now and I think I'm going to keep the dog pup that is a similar colour to the bitch, he's been the biggest since birth and as both parents are only 23" to the shoulder he's not going to be overly tall.
