Fantastic Dev! Keep up the good work. I can only imagine that the dogs are having a blast
-
Nice looking pup there Fat City. Did you pick her up out in CA? What lines is she from? I sure she's going to keep you on your toes. Cangratulations !

One method I heard about was pouring boiling water on the bird after plucking! aparantly this opens the pours in the skin and they just about fall out but the skin gets tainted. I like my skin though on any bird when its crisped up in the oven, it keeps the meat moist and full of flavour. Nice one Clancy giving the bird a full body wax has to work, is Parafin wax the same as candle wax , my missus has plenty of large candles under the bed .... Might as well give the wax a try If you are going to scald the bird first before plucking get the water between 145 and 160 degrees Fahren

Very Nice! Looks like the dogs had fun.

If you have a lot of parafin wax, melt, pour or dip and peel. Some say it works quite well for the down. If you deal with a lot of ducks, geese, etc. check out this site. http://www.whizbangbooks.com/ I borrowed a copy of the book and have a friend with an auto tub plucker and scalder. It worked great. Five of us butchered 279 chickens in less than five hours, taking out time for tea . 279 chickens ready to go. He pasture raises them and sells them periodically throughout the year. Very nice.

Jeff at Linruff Kennels. He has some great dogs.

Yes. I will upload some later today. Thanks for asking

I say Patterdale but he has lakeland, patterdale, and border all mixed in there. The breeder calls his dogs patterdales and my pup a "fell type." I really don't care what he is as long as he works Cheers

Nice hole Rio. That'll keep your heart pumping.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I really appreciate it. I do want to make the first choice count when it comes to a dog. Bshadle, I just pm'd. All input welcome
-
Good suggestion. I'll see what turns up. Still I like the look of the lurcher better than the coyote hounds and might sacrifice speed and agility. Cheers

I do like terriers. I have 2 right now. I would want to use the dogs for rabbit, fox and possibly as a draw dog as well. What makes a good alrounder?
-
Not knowing how a dog is bred how would you go about testing one out, take them out lamping? Go to the pound with a rag full of rabbit scent and see if they get excited? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
-
I would also be curious as to what your favorite cross is.

Wow Thats is some extreme digging. What was the quarry and was it accounted for Great pic

I am looking into lurchers at the moment and had a quick question. Since most "lurcher" type dogs in my area are going to be found at the Humane Society should I be looking for a younger dog as opposed to an older dog. I am assuming these dogs have never been out hunting before as no one I have heard of in my area hunts with lurchers. Most use beagles for rabbits,coyote dogs for coyotes, coonhounds for coons, traps for fox etc. Will it be better in your experience to start off a younger dog or is an older dog better since they are physically mature? Of course there is also the issue of in
