    we were at virgin ground, & diddnt really know what was there! we saw a set of fox eyes, so started calling with the rodent in distress button on the predator 11, ( we found it to be the best button for fox :yes: ) the lamp was knocked off cause it was a fair way off, the dogs started to pull frantically within seconds so i knocked the lamp on only to see that it wasnt no fox, but a roe doe! :icon_eek: , this thing must have covered 200 yds in secs!! anyone else seen this?

    ive known buddy for years guys! hes the nicest chap you would wish to meet! he also holds the highest regard for his dogs :yes: , straight to the vets at the first sign of trouble! the first litter he had beqause he wanted to keep a pup for himself (stella)! the second, well i dont think he knew they had tied untill she started showing. hes no puppy peddler or a messer, and being new to this site i should have warned him that he shouldnt post anything that someone who is reading could take the wrong way, as a lot do! accidents happen! never knock a guy! i imagine he will be more carefull in the future! :signthankspin:

  11. incredible things

    ive just finished reading "working terriers b & b digging by h.h. king" its a good read and an insight to how the men of old used to do things! in the book he emphasises on how important in is to have youre dogs brocken to all stock, including ferrets which they work along side when ratting! he refers to a time when he was ratting & he could see the tail of his ferret in the hole, & it was obvious to him that the ferret had hold of a rat & was trying to pull it out! his terrier could see this & gently pulled the ferret out by the tail without harm & in turn killed the rat! could a terrier be this calm when the "heat is on" & have you guys seen extrordinary things with youre own dogs? this applies to all working dogs! ill look forward to hearing youre replies, rhys. :victory:

    thanks for all the kind words lads! when you take a lurcher out for the very first time, regardless of how many hours of training you have put in, there are allways questions in the beck of youre mind, will he hunt on? will he come straight back? will he retrieve it? all the way? & alive? or will he do the lap of honour and be a little possesive over his catch? thank god he did well wich is why we came home! i diddnt want him to get ahead of himself! & its important for the pair of you to leave on a good note! (if you can) :11:

    this is willy bob, hes a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie, 11 months old, a lovely natured dog. dark brindle, 25" after a bit rearing him from a pup and the training, it was lovely to see him retrieve the 2 rabbits he caught and coming straight back after missing the ones that got away! isnt it great when a plan comes together!! :11: (alive as well. not a mark on em) :D extra chicken for him tonight :11:

  21. KC REGISTERD WHIPPETS AS WORKERS?

    hi frank, ive got a little whippet bitch, 18.5", lovely temperament, good little lamper,( lacks a gear on open land), great ferreting, hunts up, flushes, catches. not a rock solid marker, but ive learnt how to read her. good around nets, if a rabbit purses, she will stand off if im there, & hold it if im not! very handy if the net is a bit away from you! & its like having two people there, she will watch some & ill watch the others. shes sooty sam lines if this helps! e g walsh states in his book, lurchers & longdogs that "the only advantage small lurchers have over a whippet is a rougher coat to withstand bad weather". and in my oppinion its a common misconception that the whippet is frail & injures easily, ive run her on all types of land & never had a problem! all the best rhys. (ps. she only retrieves when she wants to)
