What systems was they with the adder bite ? Did you see the snake bite the dog ? They lots of adders local and once they wake up in spring I keep dogs away from hot spots
Let's be honest they already a ban on running a hare ,fox ,deer but it not stopped it happening so do you really think this is going to be any different ?
If it becomes law in England I'll start to worry about it until then fcuk um
Do you really think we are free ?
Some have risked running stuff for years so why stop now ,
My family have always had running dogs and I intend to keep that going until I can not get out and about
I thought I'd ask at local shoot if any beating was available and at first everything going fine until he see 2 lurchers in back of me motor and by look on his face I new I had no chance,he even called the farmer when he see me rabbiting few weeks back stating I don't want no dogs running about so put a stop to it, farmer wasn't to pleased and told him where to go and told me to crack on and he even came over and gave me hand to net up and hold dog on one side of a hedge on slip while I stood the other and we had good couple hours taking bolters
I've just read through it and I think they 2 different laws getting passed as the one about only 2 dogs to be used to flush fox and you need a license for 14 days says nothing about dogs chasing rabbits and the article first posted clearly states any dog chasing and catching a rabbit would be illegal,
So the Scottish government have made it legal for 16 year olds to change genda "and made it illegal to catch a rabbit "vermin "with a dog .
Going to be a lot of poaching going on

Once you in court the magistrates must abide by the law and sentence you accordingly and if it's a fine and you don't pay your going jail if they full or not .
I don't think this is about jo public walking his dog and it chases a bunny but those that go lamping ,ferreting ,it's another way of banning all field sports with running dogs .

They will pass it and say it's ok to shoot them like they did with the fox and hare .
If Scotland passes it England and Wales will follow in time .
Like DC as said get a ferret and few nets ,I've got few nets you can have if you can get a ferret ,I'd give you a hob but I'm in Peterborough,
Is the dog platts bred ?
Sounds like he's the boss and not you ,you need to set some rules set
Welcome back mate ,
I always play with pups and I've had lurchers that love tug and play fight and others that scream soon as you touch them wrong way "saluki type"
