[kenneling dogs and bitches]

I have 2 dogs in a kennel next to 2 bitches in another.

 

They get a bit restless but nothing too bad. A jug of water soon shuts them up.

 

Just make sure one door never gets open until the other is shut.

[hard mouthed spaniel]

only had 1 runner this year, he will pick cold game up no problem its just when they have been shot any ideas on how to cure this?? no rib damage just the feathers coming out!!

 

 

Of course they don't come out of cold game. A warm bird is far softer and feathers frequently come out, especially when retrieved by smaller dogs.

 

You are trying to fix something that isn't broken

Me to if you find out going

 

Prefer if you didn't hi-jack my thread.

[hard mouthed spaniel]

Feathers coming out don't indicate hard mouth.

 

Have you checked each bird for rib damage from the dog?

[Walked UP Syndicate / Rough Shoot 2011/2012]

[Walked UP Syndicate / Rough Shoot 2011/2012]

Hi All

 

Does anyone know or have available a syndicate place on a Walked Up / Rough shoot for next season

 

I am a experienced safe insured gun with trained dogs.

 

I am based in Lancashire but willing to travel up to 100 miles in any direction for the right shoot.

 

Happy to assist on the shoot with any tasks that need doing. Fence building, feeding, pest contol etc.

 

PM me in confidence.

 

Thanks

hi ive jus started working in a butchers shop,was wondering that if i was to make mince out of all the left over bits would you guys be interesested in buying it at 25p per pound,i will be useing chicken wings,chicken backs,breast bones,chicen hearts,chicken livers etc,ill also be doing the same with lamb.

 

 

Pity your not close to me.

 

Don't mince it though. Just bag it as it comes

[Terriers]

Said it before on here, I've seen some terriers do a great job beating. Nice and steady around the birds and don't disappear off up front.

 

The problem, especially on big shoots is if a rabbit gets up. Off goes the terrier & if it runs forward it could ruin the whole drive as you have been gently pushing the pheasants towards a flush point.

 

Overall it's the same for every dog. Under control, your welcome. Out of control, leave it in the car

[Cocker pup]

Nice pup

 

As you got him off Opie then make sure you tap him up for some tips. You won't go far wrong if you follow his advice.

[Gun Dog Virgin]

Hi all,

 

Relatively new to shooting but have always kept dogs.

 

I love my Mastiffs but they are and always will be pets, keen to get and bring on a gun dog (spaniel or lab) but haven't a clue where to start.

 

Does a book exist for people like me?

[new recruit]

Typical bloody cocker !!!

 

 

 

[KC reg Working Cocker Pups]

Great price for cockers

 

 

Good Luck

[gsp, advice]

I wouldn't use a chicken unless you plan on shooting them later.

 

I'd use a pigeon though a few use quail.

 

Both are easy to get and keep. They can both be trained to home so when you flush them later in the training you'll get your birds back

[gsp, advice]

I have a gsp she's touching 2 years old now, i have her since she was 9 months, she won't point or hold on point , she just keeps flushing the birds every time... some help please as she's my first gsp and gun dog,, thanks

 

 

Have you tried steadying her up on a lead? Use a collar & lead (not a slip lead)

 

Easier with caged game. Walk dog towards bird (remember wind direction) and when she goes on point, gently hold her on the lead. Just keep reassuring her that she's doing right while you hold her.

 

For the 1st few times Id then pick her up & carry her away from the game. Once she gets the hang you can then flush the birds yourself & sit the dog to flush.

[kammo trousers]

No probs.

 

Good Luck
