    Aye that makes sense for sure thanks for the advice ? started it today went pretty well . Gona get something bit more appealing to use like. An go somewhere with less distractions. Where we go for our daily mooches theres roe popping about all over the spot , can hardly go 100 yards without flushing one , needless to say they diverted her attention on a few occasions ? Will take a route with less game popping about an scent , build it up from there ?

    I’m going to start me pup with it this week. She’s been coming on fine to be fair to her , but after seeing the massive improvement in me dads dog I’m Gona give a go for a week an see how we get on . Was thinking maybe with labs being such dustbins and so kinda gut driven for want of a better phrase that would explain the quick improvement . My pups not particularly manic when it comes to her scran it might not motivate her to the same extent. Going to giv it a go for a week or 2

    Was over me old mans the other day. He has a black lab dog coming up 3 year old. The dog is a very decent dog overall and has had a good start to his working life. but sometimes had abit of a habit of loosing focus at times. Anyway me farther has been hand feed training the dog for the last 2 weeks ( all food given by hand during training, no food in a bowl at all ) the improvement in the dog is unreal. Focused him right in an in all honesty hes now bloody impeccable, was quite stunned to see it. Would be interested to hear if anyone has tried this an how they got on? Was think

    I have faith we are going to have abit of a reset in this country at some stage. We carnt keep going down this road of pandering to the kinda snowflake and woke way of looking at everything. Where u carnt disagree with or criticise anyone , where u are pushed to be ashamed of our history and heritage and anyone who disagrees with it and speaks out against it is immediately a racist or homophobe or any other “ist” or “phobe” u wanna pull out of thin air. Cos I really believe that this way of thinking is in reality a small minority. Yet we seem to go down this road more and more and pande

    Would just work on getting it steady around livestock an getting a decent degree of control with it. before trying to take it out with u. If it’s abit loosey goosey then it’ll be a right nightmare haha ?u don’t want a dog bouncing around on the end of lead in one hand all day while ur ferreting. Stick at tho an ul get there. good luck with it all bud ?
  9. AndyD89
    Do u take the vizla u mentioned with u ferreting?? I’d imagine it could be handy around a warren , using its nose marking holes etc, probs nab a few as they bolt ?

    If uv got a lamp, air rifle and ferrets best way to learn is to just get yourself out after em as much as possible. Every escaped rabbit and unsuccessful trip out will be a learning curve ( nowt wrong with asking for advice aswel mind ?) but u carnt beat just just getting amongst it to learn your field craft and those first bits of success priceless. My only regret Is not getting into running dogs sooner . Was always more involved in the shooting an went into keepering at a young age so always had labs. Always fancied a lurcher of some sort an always admired a nice lurcher [BANNED TEXT

    Aye had a read through that thread ages ago , sounds abit suspect to say the least. Seems as though the whole things been given up on abit , an possibly alot feel we better as we are, rather than rocking the boat an risk making it worse ?

    Does anyone on here know if there’s currently any sort of associations or groups that are actively trying to do anything around the laws regarding hunting with dogs ?? Tried to look into to it a few times an never found anything at all .

    Few pics from this afternoons walk out, 6 an abit months old now. Showing a real willingness to hunt and use her nose . Was a lot of Fox scent along a gully bottom , an she hunted along well , was very keen an tracked along way. Also tracked a hare along way , witch I could see a fair old way ahead of us , slowly creeping from cover to cover. She followed the scent well, a showed a real willingness to work, was pleased with wat I saw this afternoon ? stock breaking been a piece of piss with her so far aswel. Had a few heart in the mouth moments as she does everything 100 mph full pelt

    Cracking pic of it in the snow , looks a real smart bitch. An sounds like she had a full life doing what she was born to do ?. Defo better to pts when you know suffering is most likely imminent. Atb with the pup, look a belter aswel ?
  20. AndyD89
    Bout the same , closer to 24 . Be interesting to see where they end up, carnt see her getting that much taller. Maybe 25 /26 at the most I reckon ?
  21. AndyD89
    Really nice pup charts looks to be shooting up and doing well ?. This is a litter mate to the one in the pic lurchers posted I have here.

    From what u describe it Just sounds like a typical young excitable dog mythering an older dog to play that’s not arsed, dosnt sound like out to be overly worried about. They will establish there own pecking order and boundaries with each other over time and it will pass. One thing I would say is don’t be tempted to separate them all the time to make things easier or avoid the situation. It won’t get better like that. it’s just something u will have to get through. Like previous post said be firm and stick at it and it will pass.

    This pup iv got at the mo is a pretty clean well behaved dog in general but does do a few things that do my tits clean in. She is a path walking shitter , has a habit of pulling the heads off flowers in the garden . Also has this really annoying habit of incessantly grabbing at the buckle on the side of me wellies while walking. But will only do it if we in a wide open space. If we’re in a wood or Bridle way etc never does it at all, soon as we go through a gate into a field , she’s at it straight away for a good 40/50 yards till I loose me rag then stops? but only in a wide open spac

    Think il be looking into to one of them , looks really handy that. Was wanting something just to have a shine about when taking dog for its daily run out in winter , just for 2/3 runs after work kinda thing. Leave the old cluelight for a full nights Lamping. That looks ideal instead of lugging a big lamp and battery around every day. ??

    Bob on ?saw something similar happen in oz , dog bashed against a tree while latched on, smashed ribs on one side, witch pierced lungs , had to be pts there and then. Would often find by the time u caught up to them some of the dogs would be exhausted to the point of collapse from the battle they’d had. Would also notice that quite often if caught out in the open they would run till they hit a thick patch of timber before turning to fight. Don’t think it was coincidence either, they are not daft animals ? dont know wether the term deep game dog is appropriate an wouldn’t pretend to know
