  1. sounds good, unless it is a feathered one then it will half way to Barnsley first time off lead
  2. should be good for most stuff then, I know you were thinking about a whippet.
  3. little spot local for last year there has been a few rabbits, never more than half a dozen but somewhere you can get a bit work for the dogs, a few new little setts dogs marked in the winter but resisted the chance to ferret them, had look today dogs caught 1 with myxi and saw nothing else, why myxi in such small numbers
  4. it's far harder to get a rabbit in it nowadays,, as ever another quality made net
  5. like when we used to chase the Portuguese cabin boys in the merchant navy
  6. right, it sounded like you were looking for non kc, nothing wrong with show stock in them a lot of workers have some show blood, trev70 who used to post on here told me a mix of racing, show, coursing blood was best, and he certainly knows about working whippets.
  7. any reason for it being a non kc bred pup?
  8. I don't think you are allowed to use that sort of language anymore, it's seen as unethical and wrong now..... the correct word is recycled or used tyres
  9. same here, when we were kids you had to go to chatsworth to see deer, now they are a fxxking nuisance
  10. I know the feeling mate, I cling on to the hope rabbits will make a comeback, I have a lovely pair of last years white jills, good working stock, not seen work yet, but I don't want to let them go.

    for me it's the lack of rabbits I haven't run a net out for a long time, spent 20 minutes recently pulling a rabbit out of a drystone wall only to find out it was a squirrel

    4z is what you want for night netting, tangles them up lovely, netrigger is second to none when it comes to hand knitted nets, also nelson of nelsons net loft does good traditional net's at a good price, 4z, and 2 1/8th mesh, I have 2 of them and they good nets

    nice one Terry, good to see someone out with a net, even better it's a traditional one
  14. I think you have caught the entire population of England , good to see some numbers
  15. cracking pup, good luck with him
  16. I had one bred that way in the late 80s, she only made 18 tts, but so far the best ferreting dog I have owned,
  17. mine was that size at same age made 19tts, I was hoping for bigger but thank fxxk she didn't, I think the smaller ones are far better suited to what I want, around cover, hedgerow, embankments etc.
  18. nice one , it's a beautiful place, drove from kettlewell to Leyburn that single track road is a real eye opener, even more so when a tractor comes other way
  19. will do , one morning I had a walk around Constable Burton, fxxk me I have never seen so many pheasants and feeders, had dogs on lead, they would have run riot, never saw anyone but I always had the feeling of being watched.
  20. it would have been too warm anyway mate, enjoyed it that much booked again for next year as soon as we got back.
