In my opinon it depends alot on the ground you work and how you work. My jrtxwhippet is, i think, a very good ferreting dog. The main feature needed is concerntration, he is loose on top of the bury and lets me know through his body language whats going on below. I dont use many purse nets as i do alot of big buries that would just take too long to net up. I tend to longnet round the bury and them zig zag another long net through it. His job is to keep up with whats going on below and be in the right place to either catch bolters before they hit the nets, pressure them into the nets rather tha

No problem, sorry it took so long. How is Milo's toe now?

Here you go mate, sorry for the delay

Lol .... Tyla is out of action, as usual, getting over her toe amputation but the others are fine. Wouldnt lamp them now anyway, the grounds like concrete. The snares are for a particular field that backs onto the railway. The rabbits have hammered the field so hard that its not even worth cutting the hay so need a bit of thinning out. Got the snares and tealers ordered from Trapworks, thanks for all the replies -
Cheers mate, will do

Ok, i have been setting snares occasionally with reasonable success since i was a kid using shop bought snares usually set in fences. Having been asked to run a snare line on some of my permission, i read the pinned article and im keen to use the correct equipment and techniques. I have no doubt somebody on here sells the real deal so if anyone can recommend a seller it would be much apprieciated. Thanks

JRTxwhippet. I wouldnt be without him, he really understands the ferreting game.

Very sorry to hear this. RIP Roo.

years ago i had fred a 3/4 g/houndXd/hound real fast decent type and useful too but forever knocking up toes so in my my wisdom i had a speed toe on one foot and a turning toe on the other removed ....... never the same dog again .... wish i had just rested him between injuries and accepted it as it was. was only talking to a mate the other night, around the same time as my dog (mid 's) he had a 3/4 g/hound x collie drifter another of the fabulous 3/4 crosses he too suffered from knocked up toe's and my mate had toe's removed the dog was never the same, speed t

£240 for the initial operation to try and repair the toe which failed £200 for the amputation of the toe they havent sent the bill for taking the claw off yet so i dont know Thank f*ck for insurance.

I know the feeling. My bitch has just had one toe and the claw next to it amputated. Tried everything else, this was the only option. Only time will tell if it works, fingers crossed.

Thank you very much villebones. Seems to be plenty to do!

Me and my wife and the dogs are off to the CLA next weekend. We'll be camping there for the weekend and then i've taken off work til Thursday. The plan is to do a real slow drive back home (Sussex) and camp on the way. Im looking for recommended things to do or places to go on the way. They dont have to be hunting related but do have to be dog friendly. Cheers in advance

We'll be there all weekend camping. Im really looking forward to it, havent been for years.

weasle - she is a saluki grey x lab bull grey. i know i cant change the feet she has and certainly cant do anything about the toe thats gone. Im just looking for advice on how to make the best of the situation. Im not even sure that its her feet in particular, she is just accident prone all over. She gives 100%, goes like a rocket and dosent think at all about the consequences. She a good dog to watch run if you dont own her, very exciting lots of thrills and spills but unfortunately that comes with massive vet bills. chart - She had to have the whole toe off. Its the inside middle on her

Im after a bit of info from some of the experienced people on here. My bitsa bitch works to a standard im happy with but is constantly injured. She has cost me thousands, being stitched back together, stapled, toe ligaments reattached, a never ending mystery shoulder problem and the latest- amputation of her toe. She tore a toe ligament which was duly surgically reattached at great expense but the operation failed and she was left with a flappy toe which was bound to get caught on things and cause more problems. The vet recommended we take it off so he did. I intend to try her agai

Blanchy each to their own mate, but my bitch isn't a little piggy type 14 inch 40lb+ bitch, she's 17 1/2 and 35lb fit Ive seen the bitch working and she is good. Shes the only staff i've ever seen repeatedly catch on the lamp and she works cover and with ferrets no problem. I reckon she thinks shes a lurcher

Cracking pics mate. We must get out for a mouch soon, bloody work is interfering with my hunting!

Is it great whites you want to see or just sharks? Might be able to help with sharks but not great whites? I used to live on Zanzibar Island, Tanzania and my old man still does some of the year. I have a house out there still, stood empty. Theres not much hunting on the island (or wildlife) but its only a 20 min flight to the mainland where you can go to any of the big Tanzanian National Parks and there is plenty of fishing and some good diving and snorkelling. I also have several masaii friends and stayed in their village in the bush. Its very basic, no electric, water from well, mud

cant beleive thats a russel x whippet looks a nice thing would not have thought they would have come out so leggy He certainly is, the litter was bred by dogger off here. The whole litter were very typey, having said that i've seen the same cross come out very odd looking! We were just lucky i guess looking good bud Cheers mate, how are things at your end of the world?

I cant speak for any other dog but mine is silent on his game and a very capable lamper. His forte is bushing and ferreting, but hes more than capable of dealing with anything else that pops up. To be honest my wife got him as a yard dog when she was working on a livery and i only worked him seriously when my bitch was laid up. That was at the beginning of the season before last when he was about 12 months i think and he has never looked back. Lucky really as my bitch has had a crap time with injuries and hes taken up the slack in fine style. Theres a few people who've seen him on here

If you really want to breed from your lakie then put it accross a non ped whippet. I have a jrtxwhippet (terrier sire and whippet dam) and hes a cracking dog, does everything you would expect a lurcher to do. If your not desperate to use the lakie then buy a lurcher rather than breeding for the sake of it. Here is the jrtxwhip

Two Legged Squirrel......there's a first

I had a similar thing happen with a rabbit. We were lamping and the dog nailed the rabbit very fast it wasnt til it was retrieved that we realised it only had its front legs! It was in fairly good nick and was feeding 100yds out in the field when caught and the wounds were on their way to healing up. The land has rail lines running through it so i assume that was the cause but its truly amazing the way wild things can survive horrific injuries.
