  1. Looks like the pellets they feed pigs with,well done for getting your trap back but take heed from your run in mate.
  2. Didn't notice the date or todays date(i missed it ) but now know about the fair going on see folks then.
  3. The bottom ones with the ferrets are mine,they are scattered in the other pics and the lurchers and other plummers are one mates, the russel and black/tan terrier anothers.They all give us some good sport.
  4. Haven't got birds myself but only a couple of miles from me so will pop in and see whats going on and meet the local loons. .
  5. Don't know how to take that mate???,but one thing for sure no bullsh*t from my pen!.
  6. Got to go to a farm over the winter who had a few rats around the place,we were mostly going at night and when we arrived at the farm it was go from the start.We would park then hold the dogs walk into the yard on with the lights and away we went,there is a pile of carrots and parsnips which the farmer feeds his livestock which we usally get a few off.We then hunt out the sheds and although we don't get big numbers every night we were hunting this farm 3-4 nights a week,we have had a couple of days there smoking and digging but the best bit of all was at night out on a field where he was putt
  7. Should add that i've just got back from a grand mooch out with the dogs having a few grand hunts on the humble bunny,but should i keep them at home and not get out as i have no earths on my permission?.
  8. My dogs Artic have no probs with having short coats,i check them over after working them as i would do even if they had long coats and any thorns are found easily.Have hunted them in tips,thorns and around tin sheets and never had problems due to coats being short,as a allrounder the plummer is surely one of the best.
  9. Not so much a story,a few hours ratting whilst threshing was going on.A couple of weeks ago we went to a farm where things are done a bit old school to finish of a stack that we started a month ago when the tractor driving the thresher gave up the go,we arrived at the farm to see the chaps had already started threshing so we got to rebuilding the bale wall we put up to slow the bolting rats.As the pile was getting smaller we and the dogs were waiting for the action to start,we waited and waited and we were starting to think that the rats had moved on,we were wrong and as the stack reached the
  10. I myself have a couple of plummers which i use as much as i can,i havn't any digging permision or should i say no earths on my permision so i get what sport i can out of my dogs.Most of these dogs have great noses on them equal to any terrier and as good as anybreed in cases,so are ideal as a bushing dog and are a trainable terrier as well.These dogs on the whole work well together and i have had great sport out of mine this season,i go out with a few different lads with these dogs and we have good sport even though some of them arn't worked regulaly together.I use mine with my ferrets,for rat
  11. Ment to add ignore the camera date,it all happened today.
  12. Went out to a farm where things are done the old way,we were there for the ratting which gets really going when the stack gets to the end.We had 4 plummers with us and the old farm dogs a 5 stone felly type thing and a old lab sort of thing,we ended up with just over a hundred rats and we were finished by dinner time.We were at this farm a month ago but the tractor that was running the thresher broke down,we had 28 rats that time and a couple of the chaps that were there last time came this time just to see the dogs work. Most of the rats were caught when the bails the stack was sta
  13. I kept wondering where all the acorns were coming from that i kept finding in the hutches that i had my ferrets in last year,thought the kids were playing tricks on me just didn't think about the pigeons i was feeding them.
  14. Looking good mate,may i add that it may be worth getting it waterproofed on the floors inside as once your ferrets soil the floor that wood takes an age to get dry again,or to use a litter tray.Just trying to help mate and again grand job with the hutch.
  15. I go out with a lad who used to have a pot bellied pig that would smash it's way out of it's shed every time they went lamping,it was easier to let it go along than have it smashing the place up and squeeling all night.
  16. A mate of mine got a copy off of ebay a few weeks back,tis a grand old film.
  17. Tim/sue you ruined your own site,don't sell to working homes and don't ever seem to have anything possitive to say about anybody or anything,i was just wondering why your on this site?.On your own site you threw everyone off who worked their dogs or did not agree with your every word,even folks from your own club have been treated like shit.So it must mean you are only here for the sad job of being a mouthy twat,guess what you won so now sod off and do something about upseting folks all the time look at your selves, being known only for mouth rather than your dogs?,very sad.
  18. Just up the road and pm sent mate.
  19. A few lakes round my way have been done by otters,there was a trust place that closed down and they just let them go.A few of the old boys have been seeing them off but they have done no end of damage.Are their holts protected like a billy set is,or is it just them?.
  20. See if you can think about a outside run bit as well,sheds can get a bit warm in summer.Grand shed to work with mate.
  21. To line breed anything you mate related stock,if it works and you get good stock it is called line breeding.If you get any deformaties it is called inbreeding,try to find another hob really as she will come in heat at some point and will mate as soon as she can.
  22. Butcher off cuts is all i feed my dogs and ferrets,i have a mate who picks up all the waste from a butchers and between us we feed 5 terriers,11 ferrets and 5 lurchers all it costs us is a drink at xmas.Most butchers have to pay a bone man to take their waste away and as we don't cost him he is well happy to give it to us.We don;t take large bones off him and do sometimes get to much fat but all in all great stuff,i devide it up into dayly feeds and freeze it,we get a good range of good clean off cuts and ribs and small eatable bones.To be honest can't belive i haven't fed my dogs this way soo
