    sorry to hear that Alan. bit of a strange one , any thoughts on what happen to her.
  2. lawrence
    if you put the time into it, theres no reason a bedlington won't retrieve well but as mentioned a springer will do the job you want a lot better than any terrier. sue, they might make a passable ferreting dog, marking and holding for ya but you'll miss bolters that a lurcher would pick up. horses for courses.

    used to use something similar for walking bulls, one at a time mind you and using a bungee rather than a spring, same principal though, takes the strain of your arms and builds muscle in a pulling dog, they look the ticket mate, nice job.

    thanks for the comments lads. Gary can't say i've noticed anything like that mate.

    cheers for the comments lads. i well aware of the dangers of giving a pup to much to early but thats not the case here, she caught a maxy rabbit at 4 1/2 months while on excerise and another last half grown one while scouting a bit of new permission last week, both were taken of her own bat, nothing wrong with that and she was well praised for it, the pup sits, stays, retrieves, is steady with livestock, including cats and ferrets and is crossing streams, fences and gates, as Fencehopper says she a pup to be pround of. runfor your life, everyone is entitled to an opinion mate and fair enough

    would drilling a few holes in the sides not help with the condensation ?

    Alan , at a guess I'ld say she's around 19 1/2 " with plenty of knuckle to grow out. as for the last comment, where i go the bitch goes and who am i to complain if she hunts up and catches a young rabbit....... the good ones tend to shine early.

    alright Alan, pup is coming on rightly mate, she had the sense to jump back and forward over the long nets today and pooched up , caught and retrieved her second rabbit, i'm over the moon with her, not bad for a pup a few weeks short of six months eh !
  13. lawrence
    are i suppose you could just go ahead and have her mated without doing any of the above and have a perfectly healthy litter with no problems, i would say thats the way the majority on here would go, myself included.

    common sense as usual from Sandymere. personally i'ld just let it run its course, some dogs can look really poorly for a while but no dog has ever die from kennel cough.

    go for the lithium mate, its that light you can just stick it in your pocket.
  16. lawrence
    should add, that Alan bred two litters at the same time, born a day or two apart, so their not all littermates.

    smashing looking pup mate, looks a good size to, all the best with her.

    you'll not go wrong with beechview mate

    it is that Matt. the liver pup went to a friend, she was got for my wee lad but after torturing me for it the wee git was more interested in his play station ,and as predicted by some two pups at same time proved to much for me, she would be smaller that mine and finer boned with it, i'll get a couple of snaps of her next time i see her.
  20. lawrence
    i'ld say she's around the 16" mark, maybe slightly under. a ringer for your own bitch if i remember right but then they do tend to be like peas in a pod.
  21. lawrence
    Thank god for St Pat, thats all i can say.
  22. lawrence
    thanks for comments, pup born early December as far as i can remember, fencehopper would know better, so i make her around the 4 1/2 month mark.
  23. lawrence
    alright mate, just thought i let you know how the pup is coming on, yesterday morning, during exercise she put a rabbit up, took a couple of turns out of it, then lifted it, i couldn't get over it, what impressed me most was that there wasn't a peep out her, not bad for a pup with milk teeth still in its head and being half terrier bred. fair enough the rabbit had a touch of maxy but even so well pleased with her.
  24. lawrence
    i work a bedlington with ferrets, he's a decent wee dog at it but no terrier is quick enough to catch bolted rabbits on the run with any regularly, you might touch for the odd one but a lurcher would a better tool for the job.

    sound advice as always from skycat. forget the rubbish that keeping pups in the cold will make them hardier when older.
