Just noticed he is only 6 months - so take it easy on him, he is still just a pup. You should install all the basics - Sit Stay Heel Stop Re-call Make sure these are perfect before letting him anywhere near live game or anywhere he has the chance to flush anything. FTB

First thing to instal is the stop whistle. Make sure this is 100% irrelevent of distractions (dummys, smells, claps, bangs etc). Once this is perfected, when he puts something up (rabbit, pheasant, skylark - whatever) blow the stop whistle. At this point he should be fairly close to you, so dont blow it too hard (loudness of whistle depends on urgency of the command). He should stop immediately. If not - nows the fun bit You have to run out and get him...dont make this a game - you have to mean business. Take him forceably by the scruff (do not hit him or shout at him) back to the sp

Ive told you what you need to do. You need to find someone willing to take you on and show you the ropes - there is only so much you will learn from a computer - especially when you show an aparent lack of knowledge. If you are truly interested in this, for the right reasons, someone will help you out. If you dont want to learn the right way, or are interested in it for the wrong reasons - no one will help you.

Make sure its on locate and not search aswell. FTB

Then do it by the book...learn some respect for your quarry. You cant run before you can walk - get some experience with someone else and learn to do it the right way. Too many young guys dive in at the deep end and by-pass all the invaluable tools you also require to be a good terrierman - respect for your quarry, respect for your dog and it's welfare, respect for the land you are digging. Get a ferret and learn yourself from the bottom up. But before you do then, go back and edit your posts - killing foxes with steel rods and bow and arrows! LOL This is 2010, and your not robin

Put new batts in the collar aswell. Sometimes does that if there is a weak signal from the collar. Much cheaper than sending it to Deben. FTB

Cathunter...You are a total fanny and a messer. I suggest you go and do some reading, learn some respect then come back onve your balls have dropped. Hopefully the mods take this post away before it does some more damage to the sport. We dont need dicks like you...we have enough already! FTB

The whole lot of you could stand at the hole talking your shit. Fox would get that fecked off it probably would bolt... FTB

How do you sleep at night FTB with your assualt on clint..............I reckon you are 1 post away from certain death? Clint loves a bit of abuse...it reminds him of home. It's all in good humour. FTB

FFS FTB

Clint? As in the Clint from this site? As in the Clint that arrived here strapped to the undercarriage of an Eastern European artic lorry? You must be thinking of someone else... FTB

Nice. I was out earlier and saw 9 does and 0 bucks Pretty brutal. FTB

no attitude pal, just seems a fairly simple question....what would be the downside to this cross in your oppinion?! YIS Molie IMO they would detract more from a lurcher than what they would give. There is pleanty of good choice available for the type of work you explained, and maybe there is a valid reason we dont see this cross. There is nothing they would add to a whippet that a well bred whippet doesnt already posess...the only thing they would add is a lack of speed. That is my opinion, no doubt some fud will prove me wrong FTB

Training cockers can be very frustrating and requires a totally different approach than any other gundog breed. I have participated in spaniel training for a number of years with trialling boys who know their stuff, some of the best in the business. My advice to you as a first time spaniel man is not to get too wrapped up in how many FTCHs there are on the papers. Trialling lads like dogs wired to the moon that they can peg down from 6 months onwards - you want a biddable wee thing that wants to work for YOU. Go to a big pheasant shoot and find the man that can get his spaniel doing f

probably the same sort of purpose a beddie x whippet would get used for..... YIS Molie Whats with the attitude pal?. FTB

I am not going to preach to the converted - as it's a matter of personal preference. What I will say is I started on heart/lung shots and quickly changed my method. I have in the past lost deer to these shots that I thought would drop them. Either due to not having a dog or shooting in dense cover. In all the head and neck shots I have taken, I have never missed and I have never injured a deer - they drop like a sack of shit every time(there is a first time for everything, which I accept). Saying that, I wouldn't attempt shooting a deer at a range further than 180 yards. Thats the trut

What would the purpose of this cross be? Out of interest... FTB
-
No...dropping it on the spot. FTB So does a well placed High top of the heart or through the top of the shoulder drop them to shot But then again not all but most Head and neck shooter's are doing it for no lose of money from the game dealer Never sold a deer carcass in my life. Never had to. FTB

No...dropping it on the spot. FTB

Up to 100 yards - head shot Over 100 yards - neck shot. FTB

Does any one else get really, really fecked off when someone replys to a thread and copys the WHOLE page - particularly annoying if it has loads of pictures or loads of text. FTB
-
FTB 'delt with'? i feel sorry for your bitch already LOL Dont be. If you seen some of the bangeres who are into digging in my neck of the woods - you would see where I'm coming from. You stick to breeding your fancy russells for profit, and I'll stick with my morals. FTB

"I'm not criticising our American cousin's and their use of the bow and crossbow " I am! lol Some Americans (shotgunsniper, not pointing any elbows ) would go hunting with napalm and frag grenades if they could! FTB
-
More like deflation... What with you breeding shite with shite. FTB
-
I personally wouldnt entertain the thought of using a bow for hunting. As a sportsman - I go for a humane kill every thime, as we all should. If you want to play cowboys and Indians then buy an X-box - or go to America. FTB
