  1. He does but he's a bloody nightmare to get hold of
  2. Now the shooting seasons over bit more ground has opened up to us for some ferreting, nice lil day today doing some woodland warrens
  3. Idiots that do crap like that aren't countrymen or dogmen just an embarrassment to the sport, wrecking crops ect bring the heat on everyone bunch of clowns
  4. Cheers white one 1/4 collie 3/4 whippet and brindle saluki whippet grey
  5. Iv seen people bolt them from tree roots and holes in trees with ferrets ect but never had one to ground in a rabbit warren, tbf the dogs were marking it alot more excitedly than they normally would, I wonder if on our approach the dogs put it to ground they usually go ahead of us and mark warrens, shame they didn't catch it
  6. Cheers, shame they missed that squirrel tho
  7. Nice lil day on the Warren's yesterday anyone else bolted a squirrel from a warren? Was a first for us
  8. Solid looking lil Russell that
  9. I appreciate all the views and feedback mate
  10. Too much mild weather, we've only had real cold weather last week apart from that it's been mild, annoying as I have a big shoot that opens up to me by February no doubt I'll be seeing youngsters
  11. No not yet none of my hobs have are yours under any artificial lights like in a garage shed ect iv heard of that bringing them in
  12. Thanks yeah a couple pregnant does, pretty much catch pregnant ones all season now
  13. Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
  14. Tbh iv not seen it make a huge difference to them bolting we talk and have a laugh while ferreting and enjoy the day out its a social as much as a bit of pest control
  15. Yeah was decent could of done with a couple more stop nets but we know for next time, back there Sunday so should do a bit better
  16. And with that gas gun going off I doubt the rabbits were fussed
  17. They'll either bolt or ill dig to them either way we get em dug one so it didn't make much of a difference
  18. Checking out some new ground saturday decent amount there had a good walk around to scope the ground out then did some warrens to make a start, enjoy
  19. Them big dogs are usually slow to mature and later starters, give him time he will click impatience to start can sometimes ruin what would be a decent dog
  20. You can't really train them to mark time and experience and they'll do it naturally....the biggest mistake I see people making with a young dog is encouraging it to mark warrens and when the dog sticks its nose near they praise it......automatically the dog will register that behaviour is praised and you'll get a false marker
  21. Any working lurcher will get knocked if there worked regularly my whippet took her fair share as does my lurcher.....anyone that says they've been "lucky" and there dogs escaped any sort of injury is just plain bullshitting about working there dog.....speed and obstacles aren't a good mix and it's never a case of "if" it's "when"......most people at working dog shows are pretenders you won't see them our ferreting on a cold morning or out lamping on a rough night
  22. My mates lurcher had similar issues also an outside toe.....had it taken off and tbh hasn't effected the dogs ability and no trouble with the other toes so far
  23. When a dog has the blinkers on it ain't looking out for obstacles it's never a case of if it happens more when
