thats a fair point, if you was buy a rabbiting dog you want to see it work day/night , if your going to hand over money see it work 1st animal,gun,car anything

[Paddypat 32]

Fair point. Maybe if you offer them to come to your permission for the morning rather than go out on there's? Just a thought

[Ash Dav 4]

My permission is an hour away from me and all the ferrets ive asked about are an hour away in the opposite direction so working out up to 2 hour's for them to travel would you travel 2 hours to sell a ferret

[Paddypat 32]

No I I wouldn't. But If I trusted you and thought you were a genuine guy I would take you out on my permission

How much are these working ferrets you want to see work?

are you the fella on facebook that was inquiring about that 30 quid ferret. In fairness he did say if you weren't happy just bring it back ?

I think its just the pain in the arse factor no one wants to drag some stranger out ferreting over a ferret

[terryd 8,024]

no disrespect to ferrets as they are little heros lol before any one slaps a grand down

[jok 3,035]

Ash Dav. That is possibly the most negative attitude I've ever had the misfortune to read. The guys on here, and I'm on about the on the ground guys, would not dream of passing on a dud. Indeed I am delivering one from Derbs to Yorkshire and have actually just had 2. Jill's brought to me from the Black Country. At a guess I would say you are a young immature mistrusting muppet. Only my opinion mind. Jok.

Look at it from the seller's point of view. The few quid I might make from flogging a ferret isn't worth the bother or risk of taking a stranger onto my ferreting permission .

Anyway its a bit late in the season to be looking for proven workers as having cared for their working stock through the unproductive summer months their owners will be looking forward to putting them to work themselves now winter is here.

Requests for ready-made ferrets,dogs ,horses or whatever,tend to indicate that the buyer isn't prepared to put the work-in with a young animal and wants a short-cut to success ..or that they are ripe for fleecing.

Horrid ain't I?

Seriously ,at this time of year you might have to take what you can get and if it has faults put in the effort to turn it around.

I will be looking for ferrets in the near future and I plan to get them young and try getting them working myself . I might be in dreamland thinking a novice can do it but it has to be more rewarding than getting a ready made one

i for one would not take a stranger on my permission to show a ferret working to many back stabbers in the game,next day they will be on ya land,lad asked me last summer to see mother and father of terrier pups work,30 degrees know what he missed out on a good terrier,sometimes you have to take a mans word if he is honest is word should be good enough,90% of ferrets will work with time and effort but that my opinion on the matter

[Flacko 1,732]

Sent you a pm taz atb Flacko

ye that's me but that's not the only ferret ive asked about in the past 2 years almost all the ferrets ive had Ave been absolute rubbish I had 2 that would curl up and sleep at the entrance of the Warren 3 that only work the top and one that would sit at the entrance and pounce at you when you put your hand near her these were all sold to me as workers and I took people's words on them so in total I spent around 130 on ferrets that don't work I'd have been better off buying a bushing terrier

Did you buy them as kits or ready made adults
