  1. After reading articles about working ex-racers I was wondering (i'm bored at work :whistle: ) has anybody worked a ex-racer or retired courser in the field and had any success? Are they prone to injury and are their feet problematic, also are they difficult to break to stock and small dogs or is this a myth? Cheers Simon

    4x4 MPG

    Next year I'm thinking of trading in my estate and getting a 4X4, now i've driven landys, navaras etc and like the idea of having a cab for my famly and a separate area for the dogs as the amount of dust, hair and crap that cover my seats and dashboard is annoying A couple of my mates have navaras and when i ask them about fuel consumption they haven't a clue so could you 4x4 owners tell me the mpg on the following cars i'm looking at please Nissan Navara lwb Shogun Ford ranger Ta
  3. As a youngster raised on books by Plummer I always read his comments on buying a trained or adult dog and believed that only people who were lazy or unable to train a dog bought adult lurchers or terriers. Thankfully I have grown up and developed my wifes ideas .......sorry I mean my own ideas and if I wanted a dog and an adult became available I'd take it. I was wondering how many of you that have owned memorable/great dogs have bought them as pups, bred them or taken them on as adults? Also when you have taken on an adult dog have you had any shockers
  4. I got this book at the Midland and can honestly say I loved reading it. It gives good information on the background of the deer species found in this country and also gives lots of information of the location and prefered habitats. An excellent buy for any deer enthusiast

  11. Royston seems like a good bloke to me I always struggled to get help as a youngster, I was passed onto people who were messers. One guy offered to trade me some digging permission for a go on my ratting/rabbiting permission, when I went to meet him he wanted me to drive everywhere (cars are too expensive!!) and it turned out he didn't have any foxing permission just rabbiting and to top it all off when I told him I wasn't interested he wrote to countrymans weekly moaning about the youth of today This was a weekend when myself and others from my local F & M club travelled to the march, h
  12. Thnaks Ian and Millet I like the clulite but the new one doesn't seem to have the power of the old one, maybe i'll try adjusting it. thanks Simon
  13. Gotta agree with Millets choice of lamp. I have a clulite and when I changed my lamp last year got a belt pack and think its great. Just a quick question, my lamp has a 50 watt bulb, can this be upgraded??

    I use either jeyes or Trigene, although a breeder friend of mine told me jeyes can cause organ probloms due to inhalation??
  15. Ours have all been cubs. We are out again tomorrow but not got high expectations, since the lambs have grown on the farm the foxes are thinning out. We had them in the farm yard and wandering about during the day taking lambs :realmad:

  20. To me a working terrier is a dog thats primary job is to got to ground and stay until dug out My old bitch has only been to ground a small number of times but does a fair bit of ratting and rabbiting so I would class her as more of a sporting terrier As has been said my terrier works cover but this can be scary unless you know your ground very well, numerous times my dog has entered cover and not returned for several hours which can be unsettling to say the least
