  1. Rabbits, be they wild, tame, semi-fecking tame,...whatever,...will readily mate, with one another.... This is what they do.....they enjoy doing it,... Bred several litters from wild bucks and does,..put them in with tame meat rabbits, New Zealand Whites, Flemish Giants ,.even the strange (but incredibly beautiful) red.. 'Belgian Hares'.... We had good litters and dropped a few well grown kits,. in safe, quiet areas.. Observed some plump and juicy progeny,...but, within two seasons,..the colonies reverted to type.. Even when kept as pets,..a further hybridisation twixt the half c
  2. Fair play to ya Dave,...you sure are one happy fellah....
  3. That is a good attitude,... Too many promising young ferrets/working dogs,..have been wastefully messed up, by giving them, too much graft,... too soon...
  4. There is a fair bit to consider, when re-stocking land that is devoid of rabbits... First thing to think about is why is it so....? Why ain't there any rabbits on a place...? If the answer is simply that a well executed,.continuous cull has reduced the numbers to zilch,..well,..there is no reason to believe that the population,..(if left well alone),..will not rise, Phoenix -like from the ashes,.once more..... However,..if the land does not suit rabbits/hares,.. it is frequently, a wasteful exercise.... For those with a hankering to flip a few down,..then the only real wa
  5. Next time around,.maybe try some genuine Hampshire Micro bloodlines...
  6. Guy needs a wee bit of anger management... All that surplus energy,..wasted....
  7. Big night tonight...been married 41 years today,..never regreted a single day..

  8. You guys are spot on,...Collies are incredably varied,.. in shape,..size, attitude,..etc, etc... I was brought up with herding dogs,...we had a fair few different types .... Some was good,...and some was not so fecking good... Obviously,.when choosing a sheepdog to create a lurcher,..it pays to look around for dogs that possess the traits you require. A good Collie is a great animal,..but a bad fecker,.. is pure trouble...
  9. You will get no argument from me, on that score. Of course,..I should have said,.."The Kelpie and the Border Collie." All the best, Phil.
  10. The big old Welsh dawg reminded me of our farm curs, back when I was a boyo.... Loud, noisy,.. roustabout critters ,.ideal for bringing in, a few head of cattle ,...but,...a 'star's flight' from a quality Border Collie... The fabulous specialist ,...the supreme herder,... Truly, the Rolls Royce of pastoral canines....
  11. no one goes on the other page so put it on here lol get me five mins of fame lol Goodonya,... Everyone deserves their five minutes of fame...
  12. I use a wire brush,.. then finish em off with a coat of WD40....
  13. Sheepdogs.... My first love,...probably be my last.
  14. You are living a hard old life there fellah.... Perhaps you might get a better deal, if instead of accepting vonga for your labours,..maybe try to do a deal/exchange/swap with the Butcher,...your fresh game,.. for his chickens, Sausages, whatever,.... Anyway,.go careful now and good luck with your hunting...regards, Phil.
  15. Too right,....folk can dress how they like,....free country and all that... Flecktarns,..I live and die in em...
  16. Papillon would have pissed Alcatraz,...he had a lust for life...
  17. Interesting comments, re; Saluki types and Collie types,...fact of the matter is,..they are two distinct styles of canine,..carefully bred over many years, to fulfill certain tasks.... It would be foolish to make comparisons, twixt these two intrinsically unique breeds..
  18. C'mon man,...just get yourself some ordinary washing up gloves,...grip the netted rat gently,.but firmly across its loins and then slide your free hand, under the rodent's chin,...take a good hold of its wee head and pull back,..instantly dislocating the longtail's neck vertebrae... A rat will not face a real Marigold,............FACT....
  19. No profit left in DVDs,...they take time to produce and have a limited lifespan ,...
  20. Goodonya fellah,...'Game on'... Darn sarf we call a small rabbit warren,.. a bury...but it don't really matter about the name,...just get them caught...
  21. How could you do such a thing Trenchfoot,...I've seen men flogged for far less Personaly,..as a determined hunting canine,...the Saluki is something else,...and its influence over a lurcher hybrid,.is enormous....The dogs that I used to work,..nightly,..(.almost every suitable night),...were all heavily Saluki blooded..... Nowadays,..I lead a quiet and sedate life,...and a wee Collie cur suits me just grand,...but,.them beautiful Saluki gals,...well,...it was emotional
