  1. My 13 week old collie x pup had to have her eye removed last Tuesday after an attack from an unsupervised Labrador on one of her very first walks. I was walking her in a secluded area and as a treat for being good on the lead I let her off for a little while before we headed back to the van, while she was having a little run round a Labrador came out of nowhere and right over to me I couldn't see another soul about, the lab was friendly as anything to me and the pup just sat and watched from about 10 yards away as I give the lab a little stroke. Obviously I was quite wary of a strange dog bein
  2. It's great when all the training pays off and your dog makes its first kill, puts a tear in my eye?
  3. 8 week old pup nailed her first fox, how old do you enter yours?

  6. I'd be more than happy to tag along mate. I'll even put a full tank in the van and take a willing mentor to wherever his hunting ground was if that spurs people on to take an interest
  7. The fella I used to talk to was called Steve if I remember rightly, I think he got f*cked off from there because he was never there to look after his birds and left it to Paul who owned it, he never hunted I don't think he just done shows and that. After he left a young lad started who might be who your talking about I remember chatting to him and he was saying he goes all over the country flying his birds but I never seen much of him then I went one day and everything was gone, not sure he would remember me.
  8. Never been lucky enough to go out flying with a hawk, simple reason is I've never known anyone who flies them. I used to handle them regularly at a garden centre sort of thing who used to have a resident bird of prey keeper who I tried to get matey with and pester him to let me put a glove on and have a go but that closed down last year and they just disappeared. As for permission I haven't managed to acquire any yet but still in the process of asking. I'm still a couple of seasons off owning a hawk bit as I say it's the closest I've ever been and I'd like to get to know first hand what to exp
  9. Just a quick intro I'm Liam, I'm 22 and I've had a lifelong passion for birds of prey/falconry but never really had the freedom to pursue it, I'm closer now to owning a bird than ever before but before I make that commitment I'd like to be shown first hand the ins and outs of owning a bird. No matter how many books I've read or forums I ask advice on nothing compares to first hand experience. I know no one will be flying as the season over but the sooner I can start this part of the education the better. Feel free to pm me if you want contact details etc.. And I hope to hear from someone soon,
  10. Graham Linners writing is very hard to beat, Father Ted wins hands down, its timeless.
  11. I have only ever seen 2 as far as I can recall, The first time was in France in about 2003 and then again in our back garden one hot summers day not long after, never seen one since. Amazing little creatures aren't they. I don't think they are rare but more common in some places than others. McKay

    you can only afford to pay whats in your budget,but if you can afford it id go bit dearer and closer to newcastle.looks like at 25bucks your in the shed and off to a snack bar for breakfast. Well I've just spoke to my best mate and he's pushed for money, so I'm just tryin to find the cheapest way to get there and the cheapest digs. I found the coach for £35 return and them digs for £25 and I thought that was reasonable, I'll just have to see whats what.

    Newcastle

    I've found some cheap digs £25 a night at a premier inn in Swalwell, Gateshead, How far is that from the city centre or would I be better paying a bit more to get closer?
