    Way it should be mate, to many so called dog men just looking for £ notes and nothing more. Im looking for a bedlington bitch but litters iv seen have only been bred for the £400 pounds they are asking for not to keep a good line going.

    Good to see a youngster out in the field and not in front of a x box etc, nice lurcher you have, atb j

    Bedlingtons make great deer dogs, and I also know one lad that uses his bedy for wildfowling and he says his bitch is as good as any gun dog. The bedlington will fill many roles from hawk dog to ratting.how old is your bedy and what lines. What else do you work with it. Looks a nice dog mate. I have a soft spot for bedlington terriers, my opinion they are the best terrier.

    Lurchers make great stalking dogs, finding shot deer shouldn't be a problem, I would go with a collie x or some kind of cattle dog. Atb j

    Well done mate, do you put things for them to climb in there court. Could be the ferret had a fall and landed wrong. A lad lost a hob on this site as it climbed the mesh on front of court and fell and hit corner of sleeping box wich killed his hob., hope you have a good season. J

    Vets round my way are waste of time, I lost a Jill that was nursing a litter, I was at work and partner didn't see her slip out her court, found her two days later curled up in ally not looking good at all, she couldn't walk or open her mouth, we cleaned her jaw and it was full of a gluey substance and got her to vet, told me she wouldn't see morning,I took her home and we fed her with a syringe and kept her inside and she's doing great now she's been out a few times this season,

    I always get someone to feed mine while away, also if there's a ferret rescue near by they may board them for you for a small fee,

    Welcome mate,

    I've found young and old rabbits dead above ground while I out exercising my whippets [BANNED TEXT] work, they look healthy no sign of mixy and no doubt a lot pass away below ground, folk have put pics up with rabbits wich still have grass in there mouths. Other than being dead they had no signs of disease. Im in Northants and Im haven to travel to Norfolk, Lincolnshire to get a good day ferreting, yes there's pockets of Coney local but no were neer the same numbers as two years ago, the rabbit is a big part of our countryside and without them a lot of wildlife will suffer, let's hope they ge

    I would normally see dozens of young in spring early summer on land I work, this year we haven't seen many at all, I think the rabbit is gona find it hard to come back from this new virus,, let's hope they do.

    Sorry to hear about your bad news. As above I'd wait until times right to get another terrier, atb

    Iv kept pugs for over 30 and all mine have loved raw eggs, we give eggs in shell to sit and watch them rolling them around, we put a small crack in shell to make it easier for them, we only give eggs as a treat once a week, and goats milk once a week wich they all love.

    Always try and get new kit to join the team around June so I know come the season I can get them out on some easy burrows that hold one or two Coney, six months is about right, have a good season. J
  15. Jerry71
    Pugs love eggs and milk, it might work. But to be honest if hob is a kit then it's handle as much as possible you must get him out of bitting you first, at end of the day it will get used to the dogs being around and as long as you tame him anufe all will be fine, my dogs play with my ferrets every day when I feed and clean them out. With time they should be fine, j

    I feed my team on rabbit, pigeon, chicken gizards, hearts, kidney, eggs once a week with goat's milk, also bits of venison offal, docs, also give them meaty bones to keep there teeth good. Never had a problem with any of mine, my pal feeds rats to his pugs but I don't like the idea of that, only because I don't know if it's eatn poison or not. your feeding sounds OK,
  17. Jerry71
    Have same problem mate, Im not technical minded, my other half sorts my phone, pc out when I mess up lol wich is every day. I didn't know they was changing the site. I'd only just got used to finding my way around last one, atb j

    That's what we need a good cold snap, iv had two mornings out with pugs and whippets but stayed away from Heage rows as nettles to high, took nine healthy bunny's from a small Warren in the middle of a sheep field, let's hope we get some good frosts soon, atb

    How long was food left could have gone off due to it being warm still , Im sorry to hear you lost 3 though,atb j
  20. Jerry71
    Good on yer mate, looks like you had a good day, iv only been out twice so far took four the first day and three the next, no numbers round my way anymore so going home with a brace is a result, iv got plenty of ground I can travel to but keeping it for latter in season, just giving the young pugs easy burrows for now, and bolting them to the whippet. And he's doing good I wouldn't be without my lad, atb j

    Coney are very thin on the ground round my way what with mixy etc, don't help when farmers daughters new fella shoots every Coney, hare, Fox he sees, and then leaves good food on the ground to rot. Iv kept my whippets away from areas were Coney are this summer we would normally get at least a couple while bushing but they just ain't the numbers about. Im having to travel to Norfolk, lincs to get a half decent day out with pugs. I really hope they make a come back,without the rabbit in our country side a lot of other wildlife will suffer never mind ferreting, lamping for them. They need a chanc

    Mine always climb up the front of there court it's six ft high by ten long and four wide, they have nest boxes in two corners five feet from floor with pipes leading into them, they are old show boxes for 6 pugs, and plenty of room for them to be cozy in the worst of weather. They also have large branches to climb and rock piles. Floor is solid but we get bales of sawdust and straw and make it deep anufe for them to burrow into. Mine fall and Im sure if you're pug landed wrong on branches or box then it'd break it's back falling wrong, it's hard ain't it,trying to make there courts interesting

    iv pm you

    A whippet will do everything a ferreting man, woman will want out of a dog, I have one hear that works with ferrets, long net, gate net, takes bolters and lamps OK, I say OK as he ain't used on lamp much due to Im a ferreting man but he'll take squatters, and comes back like a yo yo, he's taken hare, Fox, and a munty doe all legal as not in UK. Whippets are great rat dogs better than some terriers in fackt. My lad picks up shot game and as been on beating line. The only thing a whippet x bedy etc gives is a better coat and skin, a whippet shouldn't need more guts as this breed is as game as a

    Good one pal, i was working 18 hr shifts in summer and my missus was feeding my team of pugs, one Jill escaped from the court and I only noticed late that night, I checked every garden each side of our house and couldn't find her, she had a litter of kits to feed as well, I was lucky that we had her mother who was feeding a litter at same time, so she fed all of the kits 14 in all. We put missing posters up and a old lady knocked the door saying she found her in her alleyway. I ran there she wasn't movein but all her fur was bushed up, I got her home and got other half to call vets this was Su
