  1. I believe that the Australian rabbit tsunami started with a mere 24 animals...and we all know how that ended!
  2. I have owned beddy whippets and worked with other people’s and also seen collie greyhounds work etc and just feel the collie x’s have a bit more bid ability and intelligence than the beddy’s. My beddy was a very intelligent dog mind and I would 100 percent own another in a heart beat I just always fancied a collie x whippet. I think either beddy or collie x whippet are fine rabbit dogs, personally not a fan of the bull x for rabbits though.
  3. Don’t understand why there aren’t more collie whippets bred, to many people obsessed with bull blood. In a rabbiting dog (which is all we can legally do!) just no need for bull blood, I have always wanted a 3/4 whippet collie but whenever I have been in the market for a dog they just aren’t available...anywhere! Got an absolute cracker of a dog whippet at the moment and in time I may try to find him a collie bitch or a collie/whippet.
  4. I think it’s all about the situation of each area that the reintroduction is planned for, from what nicepix has said bears where a terrible idea in the Pyrenees but in an area with plenty of natural food and space why not? Frankly, although I am not actually suggesting it, a few wolves round me would be a good thing to control the deer population which is frankly out of control. You can see herds of over a 100 fallow no problem at all round here and with no natural predators it’s down the cars and people to control them and with no market to take that volume of deer most stalkers seem to just
  5. Spot on. Regarding predation on sheep you need to break the cycle and the bears /wolves will then find other food sources. The older shepherds obviously lost some sheep but nothing unmanageable with use of dogs etc. Make the sheep hard to catch and the predators will turn to other prey and then nature will take over, to many wolves not enough ibex wolf population falls lots of ibex wolves increase and so on as had happened for 1000’s of years. We have pretty much everything as species we can learn to live with other species.
  6. Fair enough I understand the reasons but I genuinely think the dog would rather a life of little bunnies and hunting but with you than plentiful hunting but the huge psychological upheaval of moving homes etc. Right decision and good luck with him.
  7. Can’t personally understand why you would even consider giving the dog up after owning him for a year. Dog is a companion first and hunter second in my opinion, that bond you say you have should stop any thoughts of letting him go. In terms of the dog you are lying to yourself in a massive way if you think sending him to another country is going to be anything other than hugely distressing and upsetting for him even if he does eventually settle with another owner. You buy/breed a pup you should own it for life unless something truly exceptional happens. Hope that doesn’t come across to strong
  8. I assume the walls themselves are where the rabbits are living and they are unferretable? I don’t have any walls in my neck of the woods so they are all new to me!
  9. Don’t see many vicars round my way but you do see the odd one, I have caught thousands of rabbits but just the single black one!
  10. Sounds like a right cnut tbh, surprised the jill even came back in. I had a very early litter this year and jill stayed out of season. Didn’t think there was enough demand to breed ferrets commercially.
  11. Bloody hell thats incredible! 8000 in 3 months, just with drop boxes?? How big an area are we talking?
  12. To many people are happy to just give up on dogs, people, work etc fantastic to read about the effort you put in to that dog and even better that it paid off. Good luck for the season you bloody deserve it!
  13. On original topic can I just say...Hamilton is a total hypercritical c**t.
  14. Brilliant clip...unfortunately we will probably never see comedy that “offensive” again ?.
  15. Not read all this thread and this point may have been made but this BLM movement will have caused more racism between whites and blacks than anything since the 60’s is my guess and done more to damage to the progress that has been made in equality than any far right hate group ever have. Normal ordinary good people that never considered judging people by the colour of their skin are being made out to be racist and guilt tripped simply for being white! It’s madness and causes resentment and anger that simply wasn’t there before. The more anyone goes on about being victimised the more it becomes

  17. Sites I am working on you would not know there is such a thing as Covid-19, know one gives a f**k. Not a mask to be seen and everyone is just cracking on like nothing happened. Thank god for it, just need the rest of the country to hurry up and get with the program.
  18. I regularly find air rifle pellets in the ferrets cages, they don’t eat them I am sure.
  19. That’s the one! Bollocks of the highest order. Just deliberately finding things to upset about.
  20. Just read that some moronic labour mps are complaining to Kellogg’s that’s they have a chimp on the coco pops box and three white lads on the rice crispies....ffs. What the f**k is wrong with these c**ts??? It’s a carton monkey! I have royally had enough of this.
  21. What is the protest that’s happening on Saturday? Tempted to come along I ve proper had enough of this bullshit.
  22. My whippet produced 6 pups with one very brief slip mating just after Christmas. Bitch was happy to stand but wouldn’t allow the tie but all worked out well in the end. Good luck.
  23. My uncle is a solicitor for the council, middle aged, white and hard working. He has basically given up on advancement because every promotion he has gone for the position gets given to either a lesbian, a women, a black or if they hit the total jackpot a black lesbian! He has been told in confidence but off the record that regardless of ability and experience they have to promote this type of person over someone like him! It’s absolutely mind boggling the double standards of ‘woke’ Britain. Racism goes both ways and the white man used to be the king and have an easy time of it I understand th
  24. Hateful bloody disease, at least RVHD kills em quickly.
