    Maybe you should auction them .I start the bidding at £50 for the red dog ?.Ps -not meant as a piss take .
  4. Squirrel_Basher
    You have some quality back drops there mate .

    At last -we have commen ground .This is probably the answer to use against any "my dogs better than yours "argument .Know what you mean about having to travel as well :ph34r:

    The use of the call is down to practice mate.Do not practice in the woods though as much like foxes ,bucks become call shy.The time of year or rather the window for using calls is from now until the end of October with the peak time around July .Full daylight is prefered rather than early morning or evening.Ive had good success in a high seat ,with bucks charging in underneath but sometimes they will play hide and seek as if shy to come to a doe .If youve ever been lucky enough to hear a doe squeal then thats what you need to copy .Its a sort of a" feeep",repeated at irregular intervals .There

    Ad-lib is the way to feed nursing biches but as the pups wean you should gradually cut down the bitch as weight is hard to get off at this time .Do not cut her feed down straight away.Exercise the bitch when the pups can be left alone.The nursing of pups takes a fair bit out the bitch so she will need the food cut down slowly to allow her body to adjust .

    Unfortunately for me ,this farm no longer does chickens .I took it for granted when I had it for 6 years but now its gone ,I dont half miss it .The best we had was 654 from an organic shed on skids .Airgun ratting was second to none .

    Inside the shed. One that was picked off later by going round the boxes.Again ,apologies for the quality .

    Apologies for the quality but its from the phone .A days ratting last February .6 terriers ,2men ,3hours .Taken from a free range chicken shed that was cleared out for a new crop .The dung was just a foot deep so a fork over had the rats everywhere .This outing saw off 410 vermin .The farm has now shut down due to bankruptcy.

    1 lurcher ,3 terriers with hopefully 2 more terriers on the way .Just lost the permission on a chicken farm due to it closing down but as they say -as one door closes another opens -just landed the digging on 2 estates nearby hence the extra terriers ,black of course :thumbs-up:

    Should have every wild critter covered with that lot in the field .Nice .

    That's it, kick a man whilst he's down! :11:

    Its called buck fever and infects most of us no matter how many you shoot .

    Nice head mate

    Peoples views on the treatment of docked and dewed claws will vary but some good advice is to do nothing . Let the bitch clean them as when you use any thing on them , remember the bitch will clean them any way and will ingest whatever you used .Not good .The main thing in rearing any pups is hygiene and letting the bitch do her own thing .Change the bedding every day when the bitch no longer cleans up after the pups .Good luck .

    Excellent thread .At least it gives any newbies to the game an insight into the entering of the working terrier. As long as it works for you and your terriers then keep at it .Its when a couple of failures that really should have made the grade come along that you have to question your methods of which entering is only part of .Too much work may sicken the youngster which is why I dont take them out every dig ,just keep them winning when I do .

    Same with anything mate you get you pay for.

    Good post mate - Someone said if its in them ,then waiting will do them no harm but the opposite is true as well.You just have to know your stock and know how to nuture the younster.Starting a pup at any later than 2 years old would you still treat it with care or regard it as a adult and expect the same from it as others of the same age ,but working steady .?.There are no hard and fast rules in dog work and the day we all agree will be a sad day .

    In the construction industry we are issued with" green cards" if working near sewers or waterworks .ANY illness worth going to the doctor for is worth pointing out that you may have been in contact with rat urine . A point worth making is to wear gloves when ratting.I respect people not using their ferrets for rat but on some farms around us the chance of bolting a rat from a rabbit bury is high .The small jills are the best as a ferret needs room to fight a rat and kill it if it wont bolt .
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Mind any rats dont move in after you clear the moles .

    Frain was at one time an understudy of plummers which helps explain his "style" of writing .
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    So would it be fair to say a terrier CAN be ruined by holding back too long .Fighting is in my opinion something I will not tolerate ,can become a liability and makes for a second rate dog . The early signs can be spotted and acted on accordingly .

    A closer shot of the head .
