i will keep you all posted. i have to admit i find it hard to believe that he doesnt see me as boss, they are all very submissive to both me and my wife. Ollie just seems determined to rise up a notch in the pecking order and, for whatever reason, Parker isnt making much effort to keep his end up.

This is the way I see it. I think you have let the dogs create a pack amongst them selves and that you are not fully part of it. I don't know how you are with your dogs, you sound ok. But nothing and I mean nothing goes on in my pack without my say so and that is the way it must be for total harmony. You need to take control and I mean break that dog and I mean the same treatment the terrier wants to give Parker. If there is any dominance test it should be you they should be testing not each other, it's not there place. Are they kenneled together? So it would seem. I think maybe i

I suppose Parker could be but its nothing that i can see, im at a bit of a loss whats causing it hence the post. Ollie, the terrier, is and always has been totally submissive with me almost too much so at times which is why i dont want to keep bollocking him. He is a violent little hooligan with a very sensitive side if that makes sense? Another thing that is probably relevent is that he can get himself into a kind of frenzy. He used to do it with the ferrets after he'd been broken to them where he stares at them shaking and whining under his breath, its when he desperately wants to do so

I agree with every thing you've both said. When i say come down hard i mean exactly what Moll said, scruffed, pinned down in a submissive position and thoroughly told off. He has on occassion got a slap but i dont think its as effective. These dogs have lived together all their lives and i've always been proud of the way they behave with each other and, for the most part, with other dogs. They work together all the time and as part of an extended pack without any problems. I dont know, apart from the introduction of the pup, what has changed or what to do to change it back. The only other

Ok, this could be a bit of a long explanation but any sensible advice would be appreciated. Our pack consists of a 4yr old salgreyxbullgrey bitch, a 3.5yr old jtrxwhippet full male, 3yr old 16tts mongrel terrier dog, castrated, and a 10month old colliegreyxlurcher bitch pup. The issue is between the two males. They have all lived happily together, pretty much, until this week although i think the problem has been building for a while without us being aware. The older bitch is dominant but in a totally non aggressive way, never fights but puts the others in place as and when required us

Four, at this time of year that sometimes feels like too many!

Jim/Robert Mitchum seems to get offed on all the sites. Admittedly he clearly doesnt care about the ban but there are far worse members that last alot longer. Its a shame as he obviously does alot with his dogs, putting the work into them and, equally important, putting enough game in front of them. Always worth reading his posts unlike most of the dross on here.

JRTxwhippet 22tts, does everything a lurcher can although not as fast top end, rats all day and will enter cover although i dont really encourage it as i have a terrier for that

Is cleaning the barrel of an air rifle really necessary
Tyla replied to mjr88's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Don't know, mate, I've never cleaned one either!! If I did ever feel the need to, I think I'd use a pull through. I've cleaned many RF, full bore and shotgun barrels over the years and I've never felt happy using those phosphur-bronze brushes with Youngs 303 oil. I know it's safe enough for the barrel, it's just a bit of a head thing. Yeah, got the kit to do the rifles and shotguns but nothing that will fit .20, im not sure whether to just persist with it and see if its just me or the pellets or try and give it a clean with a pull through or something? Its never been inaccurate bef -

Tyla replied to mjr88's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Well, you learn something new everyday. I can honestly say i have never cleaned mines barrel and i've been shooting the same gun for 12 years. Having said that i've all of a sudden been having some rather random groups of late, i thought it was maybe pellets (i buy ten tins at a time which lasts me a while and just started a new batch) but could be the barrel wants a clean? Whats the best method? It a .20 barrel if that makes any difference? -
Nice to see Ern on here, you lads certainly get about

Just cos you raise pheasants and foxes are a pain in the ass for you, does not mean every fox, everywhere needs to be eradicated desperatly. If my 'sport' is cattying roosting pheasants out of trees, albeit, just over the estate boundries, you'd have something to say, same if my sport was netting the rivers where folk like to do a bit of fly fishing, doubt many would be happy??? It's not about guns vs dogs for me, it's just about this twisted desire to kill them ALL, it's totally uneccessary, and for most as there is f**k all exciting about the 'hunt' (cos its not a hunt), the most excite

I reported one today, theres too many people that have never started a thread, write up, picture etc but are all too willing to shit all over everyone elses. I dont put much up anymore, i'll reply to threads but write ups of days out etc either get ignored or some internet hero without a clue starts an arguement. Its not worth the time spent typing it up, shame though as it means theres less and less people posting anything worth reading
-
Yes, and its always the same people. The ones who never start a thread or put up a picture but always have a snide comment or 10 on everyone elses threads.

Listen to skycat and dont go throwing the dog into cover. If it wants it then it'll go and if it dosent chucking it about will just confuse it and put it off the whole thing. My bushing dog i got as a rescue at 7 months from a pet home, never been off lead, barely walked, didnt even know his name. Never seen running water so wouldnt cross it, no idea of how to act with other dogs etc etc. I took him out with our experienced pack every week and he picked it up eventually, hes no world beater but does his job. You just need patience and the right dogs to learn off. How old are your dogs and

Have a think about Africa, very cheap to live and buses, although an experience in themselves, cost next to nothing. If your a builder of any sort i've got a house in zanzibar that needs sorting out. Free accomodation in exchange for work? Zanzibar is expensive compared to mainland Africa though

Im sure most know my views on shooting hares, basically the same as ideation and rake aboot. I have no problem with the actual shooting of them where there are sufficient to warrent it but i dont agree with killing them with whatever method while they have young on the tit. Like most things it depends on the situation, populations vary in different locations and so peoples views vary accordingly.
