  1. Both parents can be seen-give me a months notice while I trace a lad I went out with . Taking 3 out of 4 hares regular-As long as the gate nets set right . Free to good home -PLEASE.
  2. In your work mate you must get asked to remove a fox this time of year and end up snaring/trapping a wet vixen .Is there any easy way to account for cubs ,providing you can find the earth. foxdropper.
  3. Someone who knows their dogs! Any PACK of dogs ,terriers,hounds,running dogs,mixtures, will have strong individuals that we as workers of dogs need to keep in their place .From what Ive seen of the plumber terrier ,they are all strong willed individuals that all need a piece of the action.Fair play to anyone who can keep a small pack of these from scrapping in their own ranks. Locke says about several dogs on a rat whilst others get away ,which if the d.v.ds are right is what happens,this to me is unnacceptable.The jealousy factor ,strong will, call it what you like ,gets in the way of thes
  4. Still not convinced.The only thing barking around that bury was you two .The vixen does the barking and only if she feels the cubs are threatened.No fox barks as it approaches an earth with cubs ,unless trying to call the cubs to safety ,otherwise it would give them away.We have dug more than one vixen in a cubbing den but only one was ever wet .The dog in the earth you dug Mik may shed some light on it though .I shot a dog fox some years ago on the lamp that was carrying a well dead ,partly eaten cub .This fact and the fact that Ive never shot a dog coming in to an earth is what makes me thin
  5. It only takes one anti in the wrong place to stir it up .That lad now has a file on him for a suspected firearms offence :realmad:
  6. Dogs can be done any ages after 6 monyhs (sometimes before) bitches to (they dont have to have a season). Doesnt affect them in the slightest plenty of info on internet, look for yourself. "Dosnt affect them in the slightest " Mate ,a castrated dog is the lowest of the low in the pecking order of a pack [if the animals are roughly same age].I can only speak from what Ive seen but a mate had a lurcher dog given to him that I knew took fox .That was before he was castrated and now he runs beside and barks his head off?.Only my experience with one dog .
  7. Brock-Take no notice of the hard men on here .They probably cant train a dog to any standard .Car ,slip ,kennel merchants.The fact that your dog may have seen a deer is no excuse for worrying either.Dogs chase sheep because they are slow ,easy and noisy.A dog of any sort easily distinguishes between what its allowed to hunt and what its not.These lessons need reinforcing sometimes ,especially as in your case ,the dog was lead astray by another untrained dog .It happens . The pack urge is still strong in all our breeds. In the use of the collar mate ,no matter which type -You need to zap the
  8. I put this up as I was aked to go and shoot the dog after the vixen was shot on a nearby farm.I was more concerned that the cubs were accounted for so took along a terrier .No need to as they were in some small bales and not far in .Never seen a dog fox near a cubbing earth in all the time I ve waited up for vixens.
  9. What if your using fishing line and after baby rabbits .Oooooonly joking
  10. Having read the thread right through [hard going] it makes you want to open a can of pedigree chum . much simpler.
  11. If you are set on a mixed raw diet mate ,then socks is spot on .Mince it so the dog cant sort out any bits it dont like.
  12. Does anyone have any evidence that the dog fox plays any part in the rearing of cubs .
  13. Dont it make you spit bullets. :realmad: :realmad: :realmad:
  14. "You really are a tit Jordan.? No-one is perfect so surely its better to help and encourage people rather than ridicule them."
  15. Seriously mate -your only option is an electric collar .Mates dog did the same and was cured after 2 sessions.
  16. C/D-fu-ck me you done your homework boy.Good on ya .This country wants a good political shake up to let those thinking of denying our freedom ,think again .Maybe another london march on a larger more aggressive scale?
  17. "They dont go far". Nor would I mate .
  18. Dont know the situation now mate but-If shes panting and in a bit of discomfort,have a gentle feel of the teat area .Feel deep.If theres other pups still in there you will feel them .If you can and you value the bitch then get her to the vet asap.The chances of any alive now are slim but the chances of the bitch getting infected are great .Good luck .
  19. Do you mean let the dog gourge till full then fast for a day or feed a set meal then fast ? Ive found when a dog is working 3-4 days a week in the winter its a job to keep the weight on so dont do it any more .The theory behind the fast is to clear the gut and bowel out and also watch the weight in summer. It does produce better toned dogs ,though,as their bodies learn to burn excess fat faster. If you are working your dog hard 3-4 days a week no matter how much or often you feed him he won't keep weight on. Unlike us, dogs eat till full and then cache their food to return later to fe
  20. Out of those 3 only 2 will produce 9 more .
