Sirblessed 2,511 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 My Daughter and I took a few ferrets, the longnets and dogs out for a run, to a local spot, I’m always anxious when ferreting around barb wireAnother close call for Zip, this could have ended in disaster, fortunately she had no injuries except a couple of small wounds to her front knuckles. We did manage a few, I will post a full video once I edit it.Had a wonderful day full of laughs, excitement, and a few hearts in mouth moments, wouldn’t be dead for quids. Whatever you are doing ENJOY Guy’s 6 Quote Link to post
bird 9,594 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 good vid again, dog or dogs were lucky with the b/wire fence .I carnt work out , if the wire is in 3 strands with sheep netting , or just 3 strands of wire , either way them bloody loose fences like that are a nightmare like that, a dog better of with a rigid post and wire fence. as they know theys no give in them , so have to jump earlier , if you see what i mean. but if the fencing like that in Oz , well suppose not alot you can do . ive had my big dog Buck going flat out rabbits or what ever and he after ! , and he seems to just gauge it just right when flying over the top of them, mind you i had some near wallops with him when he was younger the mad bugger dont think he looked at fences only his quarry. think that bitch is young as well , from our last talk .

She will be two in mid-November. One strand of barb on top Ray and the rest are plain wire on that fence She catches more than she misses now, such a clever little dog. Trouble with that fence is it was an uphill jump on the way back, and she stumbled and rolled shortly before her attempt, the video doesnt show the slope that well. As you know I try to encourage my dogs to go through or under but her keenness gets the better of her, NEVER seen her give up on a chase yet, getting better every month, love that little bitch. She ended up 21.5 tts 1 Quote Link to post
