  1. Thanks very much for the reply, appreciated
  2. I have been out of the game a while and have got myself a well bred pup that's now six months old . All my work was pre ban with running dogs alongside so was fairly easy to start up the pups as had older dogs and also the lurchers would catch so had carcasses, bushing etc to let the young terriers see fox. Now being out for a while I have no older dogs to show a dig or two, some carcasses etc. I've always started my pups on rats, build a bit of confidence before seeing the olders work bigger stuff . So, without access to a digging dog what would you do over the next 12 month or so wi
  3. Andy, I'm in Teesside on Monday and very interested at the asking price
  4. Cracking, those dogs know their game atb
  5. I had one I worked for five years. Got it as a two year old that refused to track. Incredibly biddable for a sight hound, retrieved live to hand but smashed foxes , lamped and worked with ferrets. Was goosed after ten or so runs or two hares but a very good dog around no the house. Came second at national high jump champs back in 85 or 86 but hated being shouted at ( I was only young then ) . Came a cropper on wire a few times but a great hunting companion
  6. Nice looking pup, I'm a sucker for a merle
  7. Sorry to hear this fella, the good ones always leave a gap
  8. Thanks Jok, now to find an early season pair of kits.
  9. My day job is a photographer. A very high ISO, 1/500th shutter speed , fast glass, F2 or faster would be my way of doing it. If you can get reasonably close, using servo focus you should be able to nail it. Don't have the lamping kit anymore but I reckon on something like a canon 7dmk2 or a D4 Nikon you would get some cracking stuff at ISO12800
  10. Had a great youth with ferrets, terriers and longdogs. Times changed and moved on and spent the last ten years without. Just picked up a terrier pup , she is now 5 months old and showing promise. I have a few farmer friends and a bit of permission sorted. However, no ferrets yet and was perhaps thinking of picking up a couple of kits to get the dog used to them and maybe a spot of end of season work. The other option is to try and get old of an adult ferret, but obviously fraught with the chance of picking up one with problems already ingrained. Kind of seems a waste to have to wait a
  11. Quality video. Mate if mine broke his nose under similar circs a few years ago.
  12. Hello all, Spent my youth and also mid twenties tackling rabbit, rat and fox with the ferrets, terriers and running dogs. Change in circumstances meant it all changed a good few years ago. Just got myself. A white fell x parson type terrier pup and the long road to getting back in the game begins. 17 weeks but cracking temperament so far, hopefully adding the ferrets soon and be back chasing the long ears next September . Loved reading the posts and hope to contribute .
