    So what ive wrote dosnt strike a cord then mate,dosnt make you think about whats happened here .I genuinely hope you get shot of them but please think in the future before turning out yet more pets .Also rather than telling me to butt out remember this ,the more web time you get for this thread running the more time you have to sell those pets because this could very easily be forgotten tommorrow.

    You need to get a grip mate .Its not the price that concerns me its the fact that you bred this lot in the first place with no concern as to where they will end up .Selling to a stranger at any price carries a risk .Far better to ask about mates in the first place who wants one for free then watch it develop then maybe get a pup back in the future .This will no doubt fall on deaf ears but may be worth thinking about in the future .Just as well they will be ankle biters and not workers eh mate .

    Dry your dogs off by all means but heating is a big no in my book .Drape a sack over the bed entrance and they will be fine in extreme weather .The only time heat should be used is when a dog is seriously knocked up and i use a heat lamp to minimise stress and trauma but all other times they are well bedded and draught free .

    Maybe getting homes for a litter before breeding would be a better idea and who do you think is going to dock that pup now .Hard enough proving to a vet that they need docking when the right age let alone older .Too many dogs bred from just for the sake of it and you havent found new owners before they were born then so thats exactly what it was ,for the sake of it .For quicker sales mate you might want to drop the price ,just my take of what your selling and not a pop at you mind .

    If your dogs near a decent age mate ,lets say 15 to 18 months for a big lurcher and 13+ for a little un then take it out on its own and not with others.The bad habits of some so called lampers may not be what you want in your own dog .Any fuckups at this stage should be your own doings and not the fault of others .The dog will of course be broken to all livestock by now :thumbs:as early bad habits are best avoided .Take it to where theres a few rabbits not loads as it needs to concentrate on what you light up and not be distracted by hoards of rabbits making for the hedge .The run you choose

    Amazes me that people have money to throw away for this kind of thing .If the place is that cold then all you need to do is make the beds smaller and more confined so the dog heats its own surroundings .The only condition a dog needs is a draught proof enviroment with a good layer of straw underneath it.Insulate the building as a whole and the dogs will do very well but dont forget ventilation up high .Heating WILL make the dog soft for long periods of out door work .This is nothing to do with a macho, hard on the dog thing but from experience of keeping terriers and lurchers for over 30 yea

    personally id have it removed mate ,save a lot of bother later im thinking .Most vets will set you up a payment scheme if you cant pay straight out.Might of paid to get her insured before you took her to the vet,might not be too late if you leave the visits alone for a while then use another vet .I could tell a story that ended badly about a rib like like that which is why id get it removed .

    Myself and Matt made the journey down to Exeter this Friday afternoon just gone in search of a fallow buck each .The plan was to stalk that evening ,the following morning and then head back to Dorset for a try for a sika stag.The journey down to Steves ground was wet to say the least with torrential rain driving at us coming from the south ,not a good omen but on we went .On arriving however ,the rain eased a bit to that drizzle thats just bearable.Met with our host and after the pleasantries it was straight off to the ground .I was dropped at a high seat overlooking a valley bordered by a la

    Nothing better than getting out with son/daughter and just watch mate .plenty of time for killing as you will no doubt know

    Excellent evening there lads ,always enjoy the crack combined with the more than good odds of a shot or two .That market garden has to be one of my favourite places .Good post Matt.

    Because a fool and his money is easy parted!! He mass produced pups as did ken gould,anyone could have done what they did at that time,however ken goulds dogs have left a legacy behind them,smithy and simon can still be traced back in most consistant working lines today.......but brian nuttall has no basis or foundation in his dogs to claim the same. I've met both of these men and been their yards numerous times over the years and seen umteen dogs direct of each men,nuttall terriers have NOTHING to offer serious dog men. Dillydog I'm sure ive heard most of the obscene things done over the year

    Walking workers loose is a big responsibility for any women alone .The wife comes out walking them ,she will clean and feed if im away but the working and welfare ,including breeding and associated matters are down to me .She does get very attached to the older ones but realises that when the time comes its my job and not the vets .Do feel sorry for some blokes that are well under the thumb but it dosnt last long ,lol.

    Anywhere private requires the land owners permission before entry although the welfare people overlook this on most occasions until found out..The estates i know of would deal with it themselves and despatch or release according to circumstance.Public or council owned land ,highways etc is where the majority of casualties are taken into care from .Indigenous species are to be returned to the wild as soon as they are well enough and at the exact location they were found but as far as im aware muntjac are still non indigenous and supposed to be destroyed if found injured .There are many animals

    What some people are trying to say ,indeed worrying about is the lack of basic knowledge from some people who are trusted with guns and worse still trusted by farmers to carry out control of pests with their say so .Before ever thinking about killing an animal many of us feel the need to study its habits ,to know the creature inside out and that goes for me too.How the hell anyone can mistake an animal is beyond me and many others that use the forum.Lucky it was a mink but had that been a pine martin it would still be dead and you would still have posted it wouldnt you because you know no bet

    Get that check list laminated mate and glued to your truck door.

    Nice buck that mate.Have you seen him before?.We must get out soon and catch up .

    If only it was as simple as calling a dog a failure in its first year. Easy to right off a dog that dosnt give its all in the early days but personally i wouldnt be too bothered.The dog needs to be mentally mature before taking to work which is rarely in line with physical maturity which despite what many say is at around 12 months old .Mental maturity ,real maturity occurs from around 14 months onwards but does not necessarily create the right mind set for what we require .A young dog that flies in and does a few minutes at top speed before coming out is usually not ready and i would definate
