    i used to save a LOT of wings tails and skins up all year and sell them in one go to a well known supplier and that paid for my 10 days at the end of the season.. phesant tail feathers were a right money spinner! we used to crate birds up in bread crates and i used to go along and pluck the 2 center tail feathers out of each bird and would have 2-400 tail feathers at the end of a good week and at 5p each like ladder traps with jackdaws i could catch 3-500 for a couple of weeks and thou it was a dirty job i could get nearly a £1 a jackdoor for wings and scalps...crow,magpie wings magpie tai

    Out ratting ,we had a dog run into a metal shed leg that was jagged suffice to say it lacerated the dogs chest .One of the lads picked up a handful of chicken shit and packed the wound and applied pressure until it got to the vets .This saved the dogs life ,vet said as it had nicked an artery ,Whilst not advocating shit as a wound pack ,everything has to be done to stop the bleeding as death is not too far away when blood flows freely . First rate post that Bryan mate .

    Dry cow tubes of metacam for the worst but salt water for the run of the mill .I tend to clean a day later when all dirt comes off with fresh scab unless it warrants immediate attention .Nice to see peoples first reaction is not meds as its easy to rely on them and dogs system gets used to it so when it is needed its not as effective .

    Spot on mate .Good to be in harmony with our canines isnt it .

    The jabs are in two parts for a reason ,used the self meds in the past but now pay .There is a reason they are kept in a fridge .

    Never pull a dog out by its tail mate .Can cause spinal injuries .Use both legs held together and guide it out . Cracker of a dog any way .

    Jeeemes - I'm surprised at you .I would of thought by now you would have a line going that was worthy of the title .Its clear to me you have the knowledge so what's the problem mate .To piss about with bits and pieces for years is to waste precious time imo

    Saying that there are those that thrive on this sort of thing .In the ranks we look up to .Sold their souls to the devil for a fast buck that that brings nothing but wanting more

    Brings back memories of the old poletrap so beloved by our forebearers .Im old enough to remember the time they were just legal.We used to try to beat the local keeper to his catches as they could be saved if fresh .

    If you cant see both parents ,dont part with hard earned anyway .Do a bit of background on the seller and his dogs and never buy on impulse .
  16. Squirrel_Basher
    And you cant ask for more than that ,good luck doing what you do mate

    The other side of the coin is that maybe a terrier was never meant to be an all rounder !We have breeds far more suited to this if you discount earth work .Rabbits for me are a nuisance but rats are work on a large scale .Earth work is the reason I own terriers with fringe benefits,lol

    Don't read to much into this post. Was a craze a while back for very short backed box headed dogs but not seen one for a long time .If bred for a purpose ,conformation follows as there can be no other way forward .

    Personally I think rabbits do a digging dog no harm unless its positively encouraged .If I kept mine away from them they would never be off lead as the buggers are everywhere out the back fields .A bit of free range hunting up is inevitable but does not effect the digging one bit .You need to get things into perspective and think about reality .Not many terrier owners live in areas that are devoid of rabbits therefore excerise is one big hunt off lead and let's face it the terrier needs free running for fitness .Once working though I've never owned a terrier that preferred rabbit to its real

    Pushed up against a wall it would suit me .very neat mate

    kennels all the way and individually too .Single handed kennels ,single handed holes.
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    To think we lost all this cuts me to the bone .Might have wrote same earlier in thread but needs saying again

    What happened to all the Wheaten coloured Borders.....not seen one for years Strange one... Show fashion changed mate

    Can I ask why she's now not suitable.if its her age and you want a younger dog then fair play but be wary she doesn't end up churning out pups .
  25. Squirrel_Basher
