Good man wickidweasel, my hob is very tame, but he's like the antichrist when I clip his nails so I'd hate to imagine trying to bath him.

Good luck to him trying to bath his ferrets, it's hard enough trying to clip their nails!!! Seriously though I don't agreeing with bathing any animal too often, I think it removes all the natural oils in the coat that keep it silky and self cleaning. I have 3 dogs that are all well fed and given an extra drop of cod liver oil now and again. The dirt falls off of all of them as soon as it dries and two of them are white, people have often remarked how clean they are and I have never bathed any of them. The motto is "look after the inside and the outside will look after itself"

That's an elephant, not a rabbit, all it needs is a pair of tusks

Smashing pup, hope he serves you well, great looking parents too. I like a bit of leg on a dog, my border cross is only 12" and he can't keep up with the others when hunting cover.

I don't use her on rabbits and I don't really want to as I have a springer spaniel who's very good at her job and I'd rather keep them for their respective jobs. I don't have a bell on her collar, I haven't seen the need for one, she tends to stay within a nice range and not get too far ahead. I had a pointer beforehand who was completely nuts and ran like a racehorse and covered huge areas but was useless for general rough shooting, too much handling required. The Pointer would have been great on massive open areas such as a grouse moor but the Brittany is far more practical, plus the p

Thanks Thurso Jack will try and buy it tomorrow Kiwi, she's about 21 months old and her basic training is quite good, she has her, sit, stay, heel, drop and recall pretty well mastered. She's not an inside dog, she's outside in a kennel. She is a fantastic hunter, i've never seen anything like her, really perfect for roughshooting, nice medium range dog that runs at a nice speed that she can keep up for a long time. She was a bit young last season, so maybe when she actually sees some warm game that she has pointed herself she might be more eager to retrieve.

Fantastic idea to keep a diary and take pictures of all your hunting. Great to look back and remember great times.

Hi there, Is anyone on here working Brittany Spaniels? I bought one and I'm very happy with her, but I'd love to chat to someone who has some experience with them. I cannot get her to retrieve a dummy at all, have tried rabbit skins, wings etc. but she has absolutely no interest, so how do I teach her hand signals? If I shoot a runner, she will find it and hold it until I get to her but she won't pick it up and return it to me. Better than nothing I suppose, but not ideal! I've never lost a bird with her, she's a fantastic marker and finder but I'd like her to do the job properly

Hi, I use shredded paper in the bed and woodshavings but I painted the floor and inner walls with 'high traffic floor paint' which is really thick and non-absorbent so the urine doesn't soak into the wood and cause a stick. Working really well for me so far. Hutch is far cleaner and doesn't smell like my old one used to.

Nice pups, hope they serve you well. Jack Russells I presume?

Hey, New member from the midlands of Ireland, just getting back into terriers and ferrets after a break of about ten years. I have 4 ferrets, 1 border/fell cross terrier (untried) a springer and a brittany spaniel. I am do a lot of beagling and used to be a joint master of a pack. Would like to get chatting to anyone on any subject and get to know some new people and make a few contacts. Cheers
