  1. cheers but i wasnt after advice LOL ... the bitch is 20 months old and just hasnt got a sense of direction LOL ... the thread was meant to point out the differences in some dogs directional ability compared to others ........
  2. as the heading says what are your dogs like ??? i pondered this question as i stood watching my lurcher frantically trying to find me when i was only around 20 foot away ..... my terrier bitch can take off after game through the thickest of woods and i can only just hear her barking away in the distance ... i dont even brak my stride and carry on with my walk knowing that within minuets she will be back at my side as she has a fantastic sense of direction and can find me eberytime ..... the lurcher however can get lost in an open field ... i have watched her after a hard course that has ha
  3. somebody i know is looking for a silver hob to use over their jill ... they are in the aldershot area but will travell ...............
  4. that sounds spot on for 2 jills with plenty of room .... if you have the room to build a run then great but if not that size hutch is more than adequate .........
  5. wouldnt get a terrier because they are snappers and might fight !!!!!! so what is a jack russel then ??? ........ there speaks a man who knows nothing about dogs ..........
  6. yep seen that ... to much cam and unatural looking .............
  7. i have kept a terrier lurcher combination for years and i find they are an unbeatable team in the field ............
  8. that suite is a very bad example ..... to much purples blues and light greens ... also the wool will become very heavy when wet and will catch on everything from bramble to fences to pine needles .... after an houre out you will be dragging half the wood behind you .... chuck it on the fire mate ..........
  9. when the post whent up there was no mention of using it to find whether there is a dead rabbit up the tube i normally cornfirm this by the blood all over my ferrets face and the claws packed with fur .... but what would i know i am merely an internet hunter who knows feck all ...........
  10. i have seen the dvd in question and the whole affair looked very amerturish to me ... the idea of extracting a live rabbit from a tube by using babrbed wire would never enter my head ... as i often say on these forums respect your quarry no matter whether it is the humble rabbit or an elegant red stag, and i dont feel that snagging the animal with barbed wire is showing much respect for your quaryy ... no the simple answer is to take tat little bit longer on locating the ferret in the first instance BUT if the rabbit does move a foot or two further up the tube then trench in it will take you 5
  11. what a load of crap ... that was completly staged ......
  12. got one 100 yard whith 20 yard bagging been used ones whith poles no net £90 regards marshman with poles but no net ??? cant really call it a longnet then can you ..........
  13. i bred BEW together for 5 years running and not one of the litters had a defect ...........
  14. cheers guys ... what you cant see from that angle of the 3 tier hutch is that it is 3 1/2 foot deep so there is tons of room .... the single long hutch also has tubing that goes from one end right around the roof of the dog run and back in the other end and is 23 foot in length .... helps keep them fit through the summer ................
  15. BEW to BEW is fine ..........
  16. they are 2 disticntively different types of ferrets a siver is a silver and a BEW is a BEW ......... an old BEW jill i owned ...........
  17. mine are kept in this 3 story penthouse LOL ... each floor can be seperated so when it comes to breeding i can have a jill on each floor untill the kits are old enough for them all to go back in together again ........ once the breeding job is donr the hob retires to this batchelor pad again untill the kits are old enough then he gets re - introduced ..........
  18. do you honestly think that britain needs to show the world anything about their millitary prowess with the ongoing conflicts in iraq and afghanistan ??? i think not ............
  19. you obviuosly are a fecking clown .... when you have stopped growing spots and are old enough to shave then come back on here and try and hold a constructive arguement about a subject you know something about ... that wont be about anything to do with the millitary as you are obviously clueless and it certainly wont be about anything hunting related as 99% of the posts you have started are in general talk ...............
  20. you obviously are a silly little boy with no knowledge of the armed forces or what role they play both in war or peacetime, the british RAF are the best aviators in the world .... forget fighter school based in lipetsk west which trains the best MIG fighter pilots .... or mirimar the home of the american top guns the best of the best in the world come from britain ... granted the yanks come a close second BUT only because of the money they have to spend on technology ... if they had to fly by the seat of their pants because their instruments whent down they would be a poor second the the RAF .
  21. how can you get nicked if the fella cant get to a phone cos you seen him on the road and offered him a lift ..........

  23. there is only one thing to do and that is get in the car either on your own or if needs be with some mate and get to this blokes house and get him (by whatever method) to take you to where the bitch is and take her from there get in the car and get home and leave the pair of them sort it out between them .............
  24. if people turn up these shows with what they class as working dogs and the start to falter AT ANY TIME then they should pass them on as pets because if they cant handle that amount of work then they wil be of little use in the field ........
  25. no i suppose youre right but i suppose its more aimed and stamina speed and fitness,but a working lurcher should have all these,mark mark i see where you are coming from ... but where is the stamina involved in this comp ??? lets take the long jump as one example ... lets say that from the time you leave your dog go to the time it completes the jump the whole exercise last what 5 seconds? ... so now lets say 20 dogs are in the comp its going to be a good 10 to 15 minuets before your dog will be required to jump again ... so the dog is working for 5 seconds out of 15 minuets ... hardly ta
