  1. Anything small from working stuff will be sound mate don't have to be micro
  2. Looking for some small/ micro ferret kits. I'm in Staffordshire but willing to travel. Will be well looked after in good working home. Looking for the smaller as will only be after bolting a few here and there to the dog and want to reduce the chances of digging.
  3. Gain 28 is only a mixer to add meat to its not a complete feed. I add it to try and make up for any vitamins that i might be missing out of there diet when feeding raw. I would have two bags on go one bag of gain 28 and a bag of gain 20 just drop onto gain 20 when not doing much. Then go back onto 28 a couple of days before you up the work rate again.
  4. Some dog that is, how tall ?
  5. Start it off on some rabbit skin make sure its keen for it, then some scent on a dummy, get it finding the dummy to a command even if its just around the garden (so there no distractions) when it can find the dummy on command with confidence move out into the field with the same training but using long grass, reed beds etc eventually moving on to thicker stuff like brambles. Then take it where the bunnys are and give your command when you spot one. Should all just click in time after that. Theres plenty more ways than that to get a dog going though depends what dog it is. Thats just the way iv
  6. I picked a 8 week old working type bitch pup up from a advert on pets4homes in january this year so they are on there. Shes out of proper stuff aswell, the bloke who bred her owns a gun shop and runs a shoot. He as litters for sale on there everynow and then.
  7. Granitor line is still going they are mainly kc registered though now and dont think they are anywhere near keen these days as some other working lines of bedlington
  8. No mate cant get jabs over the counter in England not that i know of anyway and yeah what your saying about jabbing at home makes a lot more sense than taking pups into the vets
  9. Nice well thought out set up youve got there ?
  10. thats a money making exercise go to a different vet and ask for 1 tube to treat your dog it's general maintenance don't mention mange. Most people use advocate on dogs 3 times a year as a preventative for mites and worms rather than a cure but it's expensive to treat 6 dogs 3 times a year. Noromectin 0.5% w/v Pour-on solution for cattle will work for mange, fleas,mites and worms on dogs as long as there's no collie blood in them as it can be lethal.It's 70 Euro for 1000ml bottle in agriculture animal supply stores so that bottle will dose 1000 terriers at 1ml down between shoulder blades the s
  11. Nice little clip and write up mate
  12. Cheers for replys thats given me a start for where to look.
  13. Ive had some of my best nights lamping getting up at 2/3am and getting out for a few hours before sunrise.
  14. Is anyone working golden retrievers ? If yes where is the best place to source a working bred pup from is there any specific gundog kennels that use them ?
  15. Advocate is good stuff mate they say after one pippet your dog wont catch anything for a month, so say a flea jumped on your dog from somebody elses dog they will get killed off. But you would need to put it on everymonth for your dog to stay fully covered.
  16. Nice one both answers gave me a rough idea, so basically if trying to bring a gundog up to be a bushing dog the less training the better just get the basics recall, retrieve etc ?
  17. Squirrel how your brown and white pup doing atb Dan john never made the grade as a busher she hunted as a gun dog so found her a home for rough shooting Intresting answer that mate, what is the difference in a spaniel type hunting like a gundog and hunting like a bushing dog ?
  18. Why are you holding it like that does it bite ? Ive only ever seen people hold em like that when they biters otherwise no need to really
  19. I meant say animal friends not lifeline lol and yeh gaz well worth having
  20. Yeh thats it gaz lot better. That animal lifeline cost about 6/7 quid a month for a lurcher but dont think they pay out direct for the service you get from pet plan well worth paying the extra.
