No drama, again just thinking out loud.
It's a 26 inch, 8 month old pup.
Ideally would like a 8 week old prospect, that's why I've got the thinking cap on mate.
If you want it, which you said you do, and you've gone a handle on the akita then what's left to think about?
Only person on here that knows your dog is you.
Only person on here that knows whether you are capable of dealing with the situation is you.
Just decide and get on with it

The dog is under control mate, I'm just thinking out loud of the worst circumstances if I brought in an older pup.
Like I said, I'm certain he would be fine bringing in a pup.
So why all the drama?
You reckon it'll be fine. You want the pup.
Just get on and do it?

I dont understand how this has has gone on so long.
Its pretty simple.
You already have a dog you can't manage. Don't get another one til you have the first under control.
How can it be any more complicated than that?

That’s why I’m killing a couple of last years ram lambs, they are castrated but I don’t want to find out if it will be a problem…..they won’t be doing damage in the freezer mate.
Gave a few quid for my pedigree ram there and I don’t want him damaging himself either for no reason.
I've been killing and eating hoggets all autumn, did the last two just after Christmas, they've been delicious especially considering they've been living off scrub rather than grass. Was great to watch them hoovering up blackberries though. Sure that's got to be good for the flavour

I don’t think I’m modern times a dog living wild would last long without it being noticed it living wild it’d either die of starvation or be killed on the road or shot an rolled in to a ditch. It does sound romantic though but the reason Lurchers catching well is because we put them in the right positions to get them catches
I reckon that would depend where. You might be right here but there's plenty of dogs living wild in other places

I'm having the same problem with mine on the 223. Poxy thing just will not freeze the screen or change SAVE to NO.
I love it when it's zeroed but could cheerfully throw it in the river at the moment

If you go down the add on route SD then be sure to check the scopes you want to add it onto are compatible. I was quite keen on the idea as I could swap between rifles but when I looked into it I would've had to replace all my scopes for it to work

Whatever you choose I would try and try a few before you buy one. I procrastinated for ages while my mates bought different sets ups, it worked well as I got to try them all and listen to whatever complaints the owner had too. For me I really get on with the pard but different things suit different folks

Wraith 4k mini - small, light, daytime & night time.
https://www.blackwoodoutdoors.co.uk/rifle-scopes/sightmark-wraith-4k-mini-night-vision
I looked at and used a wraith before I bought my pard. I think they are probably better quality but definitely heavy. The main thing that put me off though was the need to constantly focus it. The pard seems a lot more forgiving over varied ranges, perhaps not the same picture quality but I decided I was happy to trade that for not having to refocus everytime I looked at something

Hi All,
I'm part of a small DIY shoot, and like many shoots we normally release 2 or 3 white pheasants with a £50 penalty charge for onyone who accidentially shoots one. This seems a waste of perfectly good birds especially as we only release 300-400, and no one has shot a white bird for several years now. In fact the last one which ended up in the bag was pegged by a spanniel. I'm thinking of making this a little more interesting this season which made me vaguely recall a 'Reader's Letter' in Shooting Times a number of years ago, whereby a Reader shared the rules of his syndicate. I can't remember exactly but it was something along the lines of - If a white pheasant flies over you you have to take a shot. If you don't see it or fail to take a shot for whatever reason you pay the syndicate (or designated charity) £20. If you bring it down you collect a bounty (say £10 off every shooter) but if you take a shot and miss you pay the syndicate £40, or maybe £20 per shot. If you're the second Gun in the line to take a shot the same applies, and so on. I think there was also something about pricking it. Has anyone come across any rules which make the whole 'white bird thing' a little more fun than the standard penalty charge. Or do you have any twists on the above?
The banter on our shoot for a gun too tight to take a shot at a bird for the sake of £50 would be unbearable. Its hardly going to break the bank is it? Tell them it's £50 quid if you hit it, £75 if you miss it and £150 if they ignore it.

I never really understood the poachers gun name.
Sure they are concealable but one could cut the stock off and make it ever easier to conceal.
In saying that, as a kid I did know a chap that walked his whippetxgreyhound with one of these in a special pocket in his long coat, just in case like.
I have enough trouble hitting anything with mine eith the stock on, if I cut the stock off I'd probably be better throwing it at things lol

How quiet is the hushpower compared with your 410 pal
Its noticeably quieter. Not silent by any means but alot quieter

I use a pard 008 on my 223. I am a techno retard and find it easy. I admit I got a mate to zero it but now it's just on/off switch on the pard and same on the ir .... even I can do that. Its also good enough to use in the day if I want to. I looked at the 007 but it only works on scopes with parallax focusing, which none of mine had, and struggles with some of the better scopes due to coatings apparently. I'd have had to change all my scopes to use it so it made more sense to dedicate it to one rifle.

your right I do, and no I never shot anything either, but I missed out on the breakfast that day.
Only because you had to rush off and shoot a fleet of cwd to make me jealous. I'm almost certain you brought the fog down with you as a change from bringing the rain

No way, tinned tomatoes and bacon is pretty much the best flavour combination there is!

Brilliant Tyla, I had a hushpower .410 as well as hushpower 20 (still got the 20),both good. I swapped the .410 for an ugartechea sbs .410 which is also good fun. You’ve set me off now, must get out with it. Is yours a cooey?
It is indeed a Cooey. I swapped it for 2 boxes of cartridges at the midland in 1999. Its not done a huge amount since but has been very entertaining whenever it's got to come out the cabinet

Nothing wrong with a 410 at all
I seldom use mine but whenever I do I really enjoy it. I have to admit being jealous of my mate pump gun, an extra shot or too would've been handy a few times today lol. Remembering to cock the hammer was an issue at the beginning of the day too

Me and a mate had different plans for today but they fell apart at the last minute. We had to find something to do as consolation so decided on a wander with the 410s. Had a great morning in the end.

f**k sake ..... stop arguing
Get a dog (or don't no one cares but you) and then you'll finally have something interesting to say on here rather than playing handbags with all comers.
If you can't have a dog buy a poxy air rifle or something and get out and enjoy it, you could even post about it?
Anything has to be better than spending hours a day arguing with people you're never likely to meet about any and everything.
