  1. i see there is nothing there to test the true working lurcher then !!!! no basic obedience, no hunting up task, no retrieving over obstacles etc etc .... as far as i can see its all about racing and jumping ............
  2. well i own a collie mungrel type and she can certainly give simple marks and pin the odd bunny in a net ......... oh yhea and the mungrel can catch bolters aswell ......... if you honestly think that any old mungrel dog can be a ferreters dog (not a ferreting dog) then you have a lot to learn about ferreting and the job of a ferreters dog ...........
  3. Lloydy if you use a lurcher when you are ferreting then i wouldnt worry about howm bag you have in your stop net ... as the word suggests a stop net does just that ... stops the rabbit long enough for the dog to pick up and retrieve ..........
  4. easy way to remember ..... spring forward ... fall back ........
  5. so if a dog doesnt make the grade you are obviously blaming the dog and pass it on to a '' less demanding home '' ... have you ever thought that maybe the dog was pushed to hard as a pup ??? wasnt entered quite right for that particular dog ??? just took longer to mature ??? or a whole hoste of other reasons ... you really need to climb down off your high horse ... you are making out that you are the ultimate dog trainer and the only guy on this site that does any real hunting !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  6. wished you got back what you put in to these comps ??? ... what exactly have you put in ??? ... apart from telling everybody how great you are at hunting fishing etc and how great your dogs are etc and how 95% of people on here are pretenders and jokers etc i dont see you have put feck all in ... go and join a band whin because by feck you can blow your own trumpet ...........
  7. the best dog i owned that run the flaps under the name naomis lad could do all distances ... we entered him in a distance race ... he equaled the sprint track record and smashed the track 750 yard record with the nearest dog 10 lengths behind him .... now that takes some doing in one race ........
  8. mark were the greyhounds you beat owned by paul james from south wales ??? if so no wonder you beat them he hasnt had a winning greyhound in years ..........
  9. mark the greyhounds you were beating at shows obviously were not purpose bred racing greys because i can guarentee you without a doubt taht before my sprints dogs injury there is no way your 22 inch dog would have been anywhere near him when he crossed the finish line ... just to add this dog was a track record holder and open class racer and would run through a brick wall to win a race ............
  10. listen hes asked me to put him on here. and by stud i mean lurchers. he aint fast enough cos of injury months ago i know that you mean lurchers thats why i am saying why would anybody want to use a dog that isnt fast enough on the track to put over say a collie when what you are looking from a greyhound is SPEED ............
  11. if it isnt fast enough for the track why would it make a good stud ??? the whole point of the greyhound in the lurcher make up is to add SPEED .............
  12. CHEERS MATE NOTHING DOING ON THERE ......
  13. cheers DS .........
  14. cheers kay tried both of them ... no luck .........
  15. any female tabby kittens ... my missus has her mind set on one ... i am in wiltshire but will travell within reason .........
  16. i would do nothing at the moment except get a tape recorder of sorts ready and when the phone goes again (which it will as bullys love the thought they are scaring somebody) i would tape the conversation ... then i would listen to it over and over again untill it wa engraved in my head ... i would then get the address of the lads that have been bothering and i would knock each house in turn and speak to the father of each kid untill the lowlifes voice registered in my head .... when it did the whole world would end for that guy right there and then .... apart from taht i would be round seeing
  17. i best get rid of my southern cur then and buy a dog from ooop norf ... i have travelled accross to ireland to collect greyhounds i have bought rather than have them transported as i believe i can give them a far less traumatic ride back to my old mans kennels .... the distance wouldnt even come into it for the right dog or mating ... infact next season i am hoping to travell all over the country to hunt my bitch tegan on all terrain to test her fully .............
  18. i use panacure liquid and work according to the kitten dosage ... just adjust the amont to the weight of your ferret ..........
  19. when you have kept ferrets for more than year or two perhaps you will learn something .... if you listened to people with far more knowledge than you perhaps you would be a little more clued up ... you need to freeze rabbits for a month to be 100% sure that the worm and worm larvae are dead ... all animals no matter whether carnivorouse or herbivore contract and carry worms ... the ferret doesnt display any signs of worms becouse it has such a small digestive tract but believe me they are there .... up untill around 10 years ago i never wormed my ferrets and they were what i thought to fine ..
  20. bear grylls is a pretender he did pass TA selection BUT that is not the intense selection that the regular course consists of it is spread out over a number weekends so your recovery time between each phase is a massive advantage .... ray mears has never been in the millitary but he is the real deal ... his knowledge on survival has been utilised by special forces all over the world and he is a regular intructor/adviser to the uk special forces both SAS and SBS ..... feck me the man can light a fire under water ...........
  21. i think you will find taht it takes a little longer than 24 hours in a freezer to kill the worms in a rabbit ............
  22. you most certainly are wrong ... i do mine once a year and i use panacure for kittens ... you need to adjust the dose to compare with the ferrets weight ...........
  23. absolutely spot on way to feed mate and thats near enough how my dogs are fed ....... my bitch at 7 weeks ............
  24. chicken and rice is a good bland meal for pups/dogs that have had gut problems ... BUT is no good for a pup/dog that has gone off its food as it is pretty bland and tasteless ... i would mince some meat down and make up a tasty gravy pour over and make into a soup consistency and serve warm ..........
  25. how long has this been going on for ??? is the pup drinking plenty???
