  1. He might split the end of his tail when bushing in thick bramble like cover but thats it,if he goes to ground he'll just tuck it under himself and it won't really matter.
  2. Your mules will be wanting to hear your goldie cock singing to teach them the song or get a cd for them to listen to mate,i've a cd i play to mine as the mules are a little way from the finches.To tell the truth my greenie mules are in the same shed and have been listening to goldie song more than they have greenie so we'll have to wait to see what they will end up singing .
  3. Watched a basset pack working a couple of years ago,look totaly different than the show shite and they put up a good show,so there are a few about that can do a days work.
  4. A call out is a call out at any time of year,i'd like to see the look on your farmers/keepers face ali when you'd say no i can't come it's to early.Grand post and pics Sounder and all the best with the coming season.
  5. That thought had crossed my mind if she'd see it through,so if there inside bud then keep the lights on the same as they are and she might just go all the way through and rear them.Good luck and keep us updated on progress.
  6. I know 2 plummers that have found when gun dogs have failed on more than one occasion with all sorts of game,but in defence of gun dog breeds the ones that failed to find must have been shite eh
  7. We had a old boy get one up his trouser leg when threshing one time,he was about 70 years old,was stood up on an old farm trailer and had hold of the rat under his trousers and i have to admit i couldn't help him through laughing to much .
  8. All new to this myself Moll if the truth be known, but now my own youngsters have started moulting a few of the cocks have started twittering and praticing their song.With my greenie mules there's a couple i would guess at being cocks due to them just looking like cocks,lol,just heavier set and beefier all round sort of thing, but in a word yes after the moult it is easier to sex them.
  9. Grand pics and grand bit of ratting there Moll,but really who'd want to be a rat?. .
  10. I once went into one myself when out ferreting alone,in up to my waste then i tried to get out,sank up to my chest and was sh*tting it.I just managed to reach a tussock of rush and slowly pull myself out,close call you had there and lucky you could have reached the dog as i myself wouldn't ever go in one after a dog as i know how quickly they can pull you down.
  11. A lot of folks will have their birds in the moult or just starting it and they won't be keen on parting with any until it's over,many birds fall foul during the moult so as a person wanting new birds it's worth waiting a few weeks imo.I'll have a few greenie and goldie mules to go but again that won't be until after they've moulted out and the cocks have started singing.
  12. Got a wooden triple you can have for 25 quid,inside all repainted and ready to go,due to it's size though it needs collecting.
  13. Well done,do like that cinny coloured on and good luck on it being a cock.
  14. I wouldn't keep any dogs if rabbits weren't on the list and there's more of most things other than rabbits around me,i personaly couldn't give a gnats shit what others think of me and my dogs as there here for me and don't have to prove feck all to anyone else.Most folks can point and aim a dog towards something in a beam,a well trained rabbiting dog(not a dog that just goes rabbiting)needs that bit more from it's owner.
  15. Georgia you know yourself deep down not all dogs are like that one and you've handled reved up on a kill dogs and have been fine,so try to think about the good times you've had with dogs and your brain will come round in the end.It's just a self defence thing it's done to itself and you will be able to convince yourself of the truth that not all dogs are bad,have a rumage through your old photo's of you and the dogs together and i'm sure it'll help settle you.Get well soon .
  16. Well it seems a lot of folks on here spout as much sh*te as the anti's who have never seen hounds hunt ,if you haven't been there then you know feck all end of and really have no room to comment on what you know nothing about.I'll also add some of the smack heads and herion addicts(there is a difference)i've known in my time have been more honest,up front and reliable than some of the spineless backstabbing pricks i've met in the dog game and thats a fact.
  17. Ffs who's going to cook our dinners if they all got into hunting .
  18. It don't just take 5 minutes to give up drugs lab and it does take support from those close to you to be able to see there's light at the end of the tunnel and saying that god help any one if they ever need any help off some of you on here because they've fecked up .Also with most junkies you know where you stand with them where as with a few of the folk i've met in the dog game they've no excuses for being the w*nkers they are.
  19. How old is it,is it still downy and should ne in the nest still or do you think it had fledged(left the nest on it own account)already?,you need a lot of luck either way to be honest but it will need feeding either way and it really depends on the chick it's self to reach out for the chopped worms,tinned dog food,soaked dry dog food(really soaked and stoggy)and other crushed up bugs you could offer it on the end of a little flat and thin feeding stick.Like i say you need some luck and have a look on the cage bird bit on here for the links to the bird forums and you will get beeter advice from
  20. A good quality egg food and plenty of greenfood especialy CHICKweed
  21. just couldn't keep her still for pic that all Just joking myself mate,best of luck with it.
  22. Got in from work went straight into the aviery to see if this little one had fledged,well it was sat in some conifer and as i put my finger near it to make it move so i could check it over as such it hopped straight on with not a worry in the world.I have breeding records,both rung parents and it won't ever be sold so i didn't need to ring it,also it's a mutation so could never have been a wild bird so feck off arsepca . it's got a colour to it due to it's mum feeding it the colour laced egg food thats out for my red factor canaries.
  23. Looks small and strong and looks like it's got a good head on it mate,so why the concrete block tied on the lead as surely it wasn't that bad it needed drowning .
  24. There's a add for Waterslager(malinois)training cd's in the cage bird and aviery paper there 5.99 including postage each and the number is 07856110979.
  25. Probebly not mate,these old boys don't go far out of their home patch and the old fella who's it is has to sit sidewards on a old cushion when he drives it because he needs a new hip and at about 10 mph it'd take him a while to have got it there .
