    How the feck did it all come to this...

    I can understand the seller's preference to offer these, hard to get items, for a decent profit,..however, as a fulltime trapper, I would need to source a slightly cheaper option.

    Had some great times with my Deerhound hybrids, back in the 1980s,...everybody had em...

    Great dogs for the Moucher,...nowadays, a straight Border Collie would suit my needs,...mind you, in speed and attitude, my whippet cur ain't far off one...
  5. Phil Lloyd
    Not at all,...I just clicked on the ancient thread as I logged in,...and like an innocent,..gave my considered opinion... Probably wrong,... One thing I do know, it sure ain't a Smithfield...

    You can still school your pup to take feather when you want her to,...but, equally take no notice of birds, when it is not desirable....

    It is a crying shame that he has to play the ketchup game... As my auld ferreting partner, Don Vito Corleone once said to me, "How the feck did it ever come to this"

    As you know. Its all in the breeding,...and with this type,..some might end up as near whippets and some as old Shep,..the ideal mix would seem to be, something in the middle. Personally, I favor the cur -like types, but, I am easily pleased...

    Personally,...I like a genuine half cross, one that can run like the Greyhound and has thinkers like the Herder... A lot of dogs that claim to have Collie blood, exhibit very little sheepdog intelligence or tractability, and I often wonder,..'What was the fecking point"?

    Some lurchers can be extremely versatile... I believe a canny lurcher would be capable of finding a deer,..dead or alive...

    The Working Lurcher truly is,... a 'Jack of all Trades, Master of None" If you kept a different breed of dog for every eventuality,..you would need a kennel full of jukels.. I'll settle for less than perfection,...I only ask,..." just give it a try Shep", that'll do nicely...

    Traps bedded in,..now we wait,...best of luck...

    I don't ever send my dogs into cover,...it is always their call...

    Sometimes a rabbit will be sitting up, safe and sound, just in the mouth of a burrow. A keen dog will not know this until he breaks the bush, mine often flash into cover, only to just miss the rabbit as it gets to ground. As has been stated, it is an important attribute of a ConeyCatcher...

    The old "Bolt or Die", philosophy eh... Can't say fairer than that

    Wise words there Vin... When I packed in the rabbiting job (some ten years ago) I let most of my old line of working ferrets go to various folk,...I never envisioned needing them again. Then,...slowly but surely,..the hunting life drew me back in,...I tried to walk away, but I just couldn't. It was only when I started going around with other guys and watching their stock in action,.. that I realized what I had given away... There are Plumbers and there are Plumbers,...and there are ferrets,..and there are ferrets...

    Your Hobs have the blood of the old ConyCatcher line, flowing through their veins Their sleek and agile Dam has worked exclusively, amidst the chalk and flint of the Southern Downlands... I'm sure that you'll be reet....

    IF it is a genuine snap Peter,...it is not a good prognosis....
  21. Phil Lloyd
    Fabulous picture...
  22. Phil Lloyd
    Go for it, whenever you catch an edible., get that curry pot going,...you know it makes sense...
  23. Phil Lloyd
    Raw is so natural, its gotta be right...
  24. Phil Lloyd
    Pheasants are cheap as chips,..but if my dogs ever catch one, I always feel duty bound to Jalfrezi em...
  25. Phil Lloyd
    We used to do the same down here Micky... Pheasants first,..then out every night on the Roe,..it was a good time to sell the game... What the Butchers couldn't take,..the folks in nearby Leigh Park definitely could... Truth was, we couldn't kill enough...
