  1. What dog??

    in Gundogs & Retrievers

    Posted

    I shoot mostly on my own but odd time go with my dad. I have been a couple of times with a mate who has a lab but nutty as a fruit cake. I like the small dog and the way they hunt. I think it would be the way i raise it as a puppy and just have a retriever and try and lower the drive on a cocker

    Hi joe i was thinking of a lab but its a big dog and my wife is scared of big dogs. I am not into the german pointers as i got bit off one years ago and it hurt lol i jave plenty of time to try and talk the wife round to a lab bit even she is a tough 1 to crack. Saying that no one can turn a puppy down

    Well guys i am trying to do some research on what dog suits my needs. I do pigeon and rabbit shooting and would like a companion to come with me, keep me company in the hide. I have a staffy at the minute and wouldnt change her for the world. I trust her 100% with my kids. She is a protector for my family. She doesnt even like when we toy fight.

    Now, when she does eventually goes i would like a gundog.

    I probably have 4 or 5 years left in her yet so i am in no rush to make a sharp decision. So it gives me a lot of time.

    I would like a cocker. Seen a few beating, picking up and at trials at game fairs but would they be any good at staying in a hide?

    Anyone recomend any books dvds or anywhere i could gather as much info on training? 

    As i have said i am in no rush but i would like to train myself first before jumping into water and not knowing how deep it is. Many thanks

    Hi guys just wondering of what i have heard is true bit the eley 40g have discontinued?

    These are the bullets have the green label and from what i have seen these have been replaced by the white lable 38gn 1040fps.

    Is there much difference in the ammo? 

    I dont want to go out and buy a brick of they come out like thunder bolts.

    If i was to get a discovery it would be a 300 tdi. These newer ones are plastic. I use to be able to take mine anywhere with no problems. Serviced well and a few tweeks and a bit of money spent on it i can be a beast (about the 3k mark) id say stay well away from newer ones imo

  18. How much rabbit to feed a ferret???

    Thanks guys i was thinking of 2 small gills i would need someone with a vac hob local to me to take them out of season that could be a problem. Ive built a hutch 4ft wide so i think it will be enough room for them. I also have 10 metres of pipe looped so i can keep them busy. Ive been told its easy to put a ferret down a hole its hard to get it out.
