    I take it you read this. You shouldn't always believe everything you read. It's not always true. You want some cream for that burn ? Best to leave these discussions to the grown ups son.

    I take it you read this. You shouldn't always believe everything you read. It's not always true. No I know because I have nearly 40 years experience of ferreting and my job is a rabbit catcher so I need to make it my business to know all about the rabbit ... Maybe you should try reading a bit and perhaps you could learn something ........ I am infact a great reader, and I too have many years experience with catching rabbits.While it is true that myxy is thought to be spread by fleas this is not so with RHD which is thought to be spread by contact with other rabbits. If you do a bit of

    If the reason for there disappearance is maxi or the rabbit virus and there are no rabbits left alive in the area and the rabbits that you are restocking with are healthy (maxi and virus free) then I believe it would work. Maxi and the rabbit virus are spread from rabbit to rabbit and if all the native rabbits in an area have been wiped out there would be no infected rabbits for the restocked rabbits to catch either disease from. That is the theory anyway, I believe this is being tried out on the continent. I would be interested in knowing how successful this is. Is there anyone with any p

    I don't think it makes a lot of difference work wise but in my experience dogs kept in the house generally live considerably longer than dogs kept all year round in unheated kennels. I suppose this doesn't mater if you only want the dogs for there working years .Mine are always kept in the house.

    Hi, do you mean Poachers Pie by Fred Archer. Its quite a common book .I have it in hard back, dont know if its also in paperback.Like I say its quite common and not expensive.

    I think its a great idea (though ilegal) there are all these birds of prey in this country which are protected and the wild cat up here in Scotland which is also protected.What are these animals and birds supposed to eat. In Spain they are trying to help the humble rabbit as it is highly regarded as a game animal and as a food source for many other animals and birds. Here in Britain it has been forgotten about. Myxomatosis and more recently VHD. has drasticaly reduced there numbers.It is high time that something was done here to help the humble rabbit.

    I have nothing against J.Darcy.His deer book is very popular which just goes to show how many people are interested in deer and dogs yet on a hunting site like this people are not allowed to talk about it.

    I cant understand why ,when anyone starts a post on here about PRE-BAN catching deer on here ,the post gets delated.Yet Jonathan Darcy writes a book about it and thats ok It's obvious by the amount of people looking at these pasts that it's of interest to many on the site but it still gets delated..Is it just me or does anyone else think this is strange.

    I agree 100%.Many years ago when I started work on a well known highland estate.There were 4 keeper/stalkers and they all kept 3/4/5 working terriers.Most were kept in kennels but 2 of the keepers including the head keeper had terriers which lived with there families in the house. I had 2 young children at the time aged 2yrs and 4yrs. and as I was planning on getting my first terrier which I intended on keeping in the house I asked the head keeper, how the dog got on with his kids.He said that sometimes if the kids annoyed him he would snap at them and that the kids soon learned to leave

    Why do people make statements like this shit I dont think it,s shit.I agree with him 100%.I have had only a handfull of lurchers in my 40 yrs of keeping them.I have never parted with a dog once it was mine, so I havent had the amount of dogs that some have ,who get rid of or swap dogs every couple of weeks.But in my limited experience ( I have had collie,deerhound and suluki crosses) the suluki crosses were in a different league from the rest.I am just giving my honest opinion on the dogs which I have had and the ones that my friends have.I realy do rate the suluki.I dont think the pure sul

    Agree 100%. There are travellers with caravans parked not far from where I live .I walk my dogs past there caravans quite regular and there is a black whippet type lurcher tied outside a small ramshackle kennel, no blanket or anything in the kennel, no coat on the dog on these hard frosty nights I recon it amounts to cruelty.

    I always cut of the back and back legs for myself and boil the shoulders for the dogs.I always look forward to eating them ,roasted.Gut ,skin and joint the hares as soon as possible leave the meat in the frige for 3/4 days to hang then season with salt an pepper and roast in the oven.I think they tast similar to beef.I have eaten hares since I was a child when my mother used to stew them.I honestly cant understand why some people dont like the tase of them.

    Hi, just noticed the stopper protectors. Do you run the dog with them on or are they for protecting the stoppers when the dog has damaged them.
  19. woodbine
    Nice looking dog.I'v always liked this cross.
  20. woodbine
    I understand where you are coming from but it would be a very boring site if it was not for these same people.I personaly am fed up of the " lets see your collie crosses" " lets see what dogs you will be running this year" "out for a shine last night" "picks of my pup" these posts may be of interest to the poster and there freinds but to me they are boring,boring boring.To be honest it's these posts that you are downing that I like best .If these posts were "scrutinized by the so called mods" to use your words, and I presume then delated ,this site would be as exciting as the stamp collectin

    and look at the 1000s of cases were dogs that have been(and still do) get shot,who gets done...the dog What 1000s of cases I have never seen one.

    Agree 100%.I have a suluki/greyhound hybrid,she is BY FAR the best hunting,catching bitch I have ever had.

    Hi,I honestly dont think % matters.If the sire and dam are good workers there is a good chance the pups will be good workers.

    A lot of money for a 2 year old whippet but she is a great looking bitch.
