    If your refering to me, when you write 'some people just cannot grasp the true facts, if its registered it wont work', thats not the point Im making. Im not saying if its registered it wont work. Im saying WHY REGISTER with the kennel club, after all the bad they have done to the working breeds over the years???? Theres no way you do it for the good of the terrier as a working animal. Its either so you can sell for sill money, or to enter shows like crufts?? lol

    KC do not tell you how and what to breed ..You breed whatever you want..As stated earlier only difference between a good type of russell and a parson is a bit of paper ..I dont register all my pups sometimes Ill register one out a litter so what are its litter siblings Russells or parsons ???It was a long time joke with me registering did it for fun ..Most of them come from the same stock anyway...Some people just cannot grasp the true facts just like the borders if its registered it cant work, if it hasnt been registered it will if bred right ..A bit of paper is just that a bit of pape

    At least you got the bugger, well done. Mink are about the same in size as polecats/ferrets.

    I reckon anyone who registers a terrier with the Kennel Club thesedays needs their heeds checked! After all they done to destroy our working types. once your breeding to so called 'breed standards', then your no longer selecting purely on performance. Its all bad news to me. Just my opinions

    Anyone on here own one... I'm after one in the near future. Would be looking for the laminated beach, thumbhole stock version. Is there a dealer in the UK that sells this gun? Cheers DnN

    I used to run a trap line of around 50- 60 fenns, in natural and made-up sites.... aim for likely runways, walls, hedges, drains, stone piles, bases of big trees(in woodland), corners of woodland, round the pen edges, alongside water courses, and every other likely looking place. Some of the most deadly are the rail traps, fenn traps placed on planks crossing burns or drains, especially adjacent to walls, fences etc where the mustelids run. Cover trap with mesh, and restrict entry with wires according to legislation, and to keep out game birds, nail the ring to the plank. Could also chisel ou

    I prefer a natural site, and allow terrier to enter of its own will, but if you have drains and artificial s on your land, you would check them as you would your natural earths, if theres someone at home, bingo. Only reason I prefer a natural site, is that it usually gives the terrier a better education, tight spots, roots, rocks, etc that are not usually present in an artificial, basically an artificial makes things damn easy for a terrier to travel/find, (no test of nose).

    Sounds about right, mind mine never bit me... Saying all that, Ive a mate who has some of the darkest ferrets Ive ever seen, but they are not wild crosses, not even close, just super dark ferrets, and they work and act just like any other domestic working bred ferret. I feel a fair ammount of these are being sold as wild polecats, even though you are buying a genuine domestic ferret, that would behave and work great... for some reason the dark ones are attracting folk like flies round shit? and if a 'breeder' throws in the words 'wild polecat' he can add an extra few ££ This is the hu

    Genentially identical... yes.... so are dogs and wolves, but your not going to breed your purpose-bred working dog with a wolf, and hope to improve anything. Its no easy business perfecting a working animal, its an ongoing process just to keep standards decent, why loose it all in an instant??? These are things I found out through trial and error, not off the net lol I made the mistakes myself. As for most lines having pure wild polecat in them, even as close as a few gens back.... not true, not even slightly, Id say the vast majority of lines are tons of generations away from any pure wil

    You have done well getting them working, even if they are not that good.

    I reared 2 hob kits from a litter that came about from a mating between a wild male polecat and a captive jill polecat coloured ferret. They were the dodgiest big feckin ferrets I ever had... both were well handled and reared like any other ferret Ive had... yet they never tamed properly, and always were skulking at the back of the hutch, they never bit me, but if they had they would have taken my f*****g hand clean off (LOL) they were tense and shy when handled. I eventually tried them working, and as I kind of expected, as soon as they entered the dark inviting warren, they never wanted to c

    Got ya Rob... all I can say is, the fox's n dogs got on fine while they were being raised.... after release, they would have got killed like any other wild fox I'd guess. While I had them, they didnt smell much at all, and often copied the dogs behaviour... twats around food though lol
  25. dogs-n-natives
    Im sure there could be accidents if the pet version was found in among the wild the 'pet version' wouldn't smell or look any different to a wild one though, surely?? they must do mate, as it could have gone very wrong for me many times, but my dogs never killed or even harrassed a domestic goat.
