I Just Couldnt Help Myself, I Just Had To Try It.
tsteve9999 replied to trigger2's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I can't see much difference between taking a pup mooching and letting it chase a bunny that has been put up and lamping a couple of squatters, other than the fact that the squatters will be a darn sight easier for a young dog to catch. I can see the point when people say a young dogs bones aren't fully formed but both mine have been out mooching from the time they had their injections and both have raced round like mad things just for the fun of it from the off. My old dogs 8 now and although he gets nowhere near the work Triggers dogs do he's never had a serious injury other than tears, which -
I've only ever fed one crow to mine, and the next day there were 2 roundworms getting on for 4" long lying on the pen floor. I haven't fed them since.

I'm sure there's a spare one in my garage if you ever pass this way mate. I'll sort it out for you if you want it.

When I read this I went out to look at my hob and was shocked to see he had exactly the same, one swollen bollock. Took him to the vets yesterday and was told there's nowt wrong, it could be sperm now he's finished seeing to the jills and the other ball has retracted inside him, which both do eventually after the breeding season.

Mine are the same, my old dog will cross 2 fields if he hears a gun go off on the off chance theres something about. I'm so glad I took mine out as pups and shot over them, they take no notice of fireworks or any loud noise.

My old dog has been a thief from the day I got him. He will eat basically anything that isn't locked down and it's very rare that we catch him at it because he makes no noise at all. I've lost count of the times he's whipped food off the coffee tables while we've been sitting 18 inches away watching telly, he's taken a red hot cooked chicken from the oven and had it mostly eaten before we found him up the garden ,and I now hang the dogs frozen food on the washing line because he's ate all 3 lb in one go so many times. He's eaten dozens of packs of butter over the years and literally hundreds

Mk1 Ferret Locator And X2 16Ft Collars
tsteve9999 replied to wabbit slayer's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I was after a 15 foot collar last year and they seem as rare as rocking horse shit so I'd expect them to fetch good money on ebay. -
Tip had one a few weeks ago on his back leg, really deep that split the pad in half. I had him sewn up at the vets and he was back to normal in 3 weeks.

If you're after bigger stuff I'd agree but if all you want is a general mooching/rabbiting dog they may surprise you.

Vasectomise Hob Or Get The Jills Spade
tsteve9999 replied to Roper238's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I was under the impression vasectomising a hob is actually a pretty tricky operation. As a result quite a few vets don't offer it. The last time I had a hob snipped I rang round about a dozen vets to get quotes and about half of them said they won't do it as it's too complicated. I had one refuse to do it too but there are plenty who will. My advice would be to shop around, I was quoted anything from 60 quid right up to 130.00 -
Is the jill in season? If so as the one says, they castrated him.
-
Shit luck that.

Anyone heard from him? I used to enjoy his tales and was looking forward to seeing how the pup got on.

Not the electric fences though..

It must be a fantastic feeling for players who were viewed as journeymen to be this close to winning the league, just shows that a team will always beat gifted individuals who aren't a team.

Yes mate, according to it's owner it's a pedigree, though I didn't know they came in that colour. She's had a different upbringing to most poodles I should think, she's been wandering the riding stables all her life and catches the odd rabbit on her own, though she's not as quick as I thought she was, even my half cross is a good bit faster. As soon as she hears my motor she's at my side and doesn't leave me and the dog till we go home.

Not my dog but she's decided she's a lurcher and it keeps me in with landowner.

The pump has finally gone on my pool and I've been pondering filling it in for a while now, but I have 9 fish still in there, a lot of them hand tame and I don't like the idea of just slinging them in a local pool. There are 4 orfe, 2 golden 1 blue and a brown, 3 carp, 1 koi and a golden rudd. The carp and orfe are big fish, at least 18 inches long I should think, probably more, and i'd want them to go as a job lot, free to anyone who'll give them a good home.

I've always thought rabbits are as much a crop as wheat etc, all prey animals exist to feed predators.

Once you get the hang of them the mk3's are a good bit of kit, but don't do anything that a mk1 can't do imo. Maybe it's because I'm thick but it took me a while to get the hang of the mk3, whereas the mk1 was a doddle from the off. As an example of the thick thing I was searching a few weeks ago and the finder took me farther and farther out into the field, and it was only when my mate fell on the floor laughing that I realised I was picking up on the ferret we'd left in the box.........
-
My mates got one not much bigger than my jill, I'd say that was a small one compared to mine which is 50% bigger.
-
With the amount of times I fall over just lately it's a no brainer for me, box every time for their protection

Doesn't look like any dog track I've ever seen

Heavy Collie Blooded Lurchers
tsteve9999 replied to scottish lurcher's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I've a half x here that has been the opposite, really easy to train but even easier to upset. Any harsh word will have him cowering but treat him right and it's a doddle. If he's the norm for colliexs they certainly won't suit everyone but mines becoming a very handy rabbit dog
