    Thats right, i've just got off the phone with the local police to inform them i'm out tonight ( get a load of that eh' reference number and everything), Must admit that was a first for me, however the land owner advised that it was the done thing in the area, i wasn't expecting him to even grant lamping permission as i'd only ferreted for him a handful of times over the past four years, and when that was first given he'd told me that he didn't like lamping as it gives the wrong impressions So what with finally getting my lamp and the pup coming of age, only had one trip out for a shine so

    Surely that would give them wings, and therefore an unfair advantage

    what cross is this I have seen this happen to a couple of collie crosses that have been danted a little bit by some early hard rabits or a bit of a bump, sometimes they learn a bit quick for thier own good. His dam was whippet bull grey, the sire was 3/4 bull grey. He seems more than eager enough, i maybe have to be a little more selective on the runs i choose for him at the moment.

    Hi matey, Not had many slips mate, i'd say a total of maybe 6, in fairness to the dog the rabbits were on a sports field, so maybe the going was a litle quick and slippy for him, There were no bad experiences as this was his first night lamping, we were out maybe an hour or so. The bigger thing he ran beautifully, and again, left it at the hedge, plenty of bends had and bang on it right up until he realises the hedge is looking then stops and returns. I think experience and opportunity should be all he needs, Cheers for the reply

    So at twelve months i took my pup out for his first look on the lamp last night, he's been out alot ferreting with me. I found that last night the dog took to pulling back from the rabbits and others when they were heading for cover. About 15ft out when i was hoping for the strike i found he just went to a trot and about turned. Now i'm thinking this is just likely to be lack of experience. His speed is awesome and he's certainly putting in some turns. Have others found this to happen? Ps, it's been a good many years since i had a serious lamping dog.

    LOL, When I lived in North Wales i used to give the pet shop owner bags of ferret shit to put in his store room to deter rats, in return I got bags of free dog food, a fair swap me thinks

    Funny statement that mate considering you bred some 3/4 whippets 1/4 beddys yourself, an you told me you owned the half x sire of the pup I got off you.. an if you believe as you also say that any decent whippet is as game as a lot of terriers then you must be useing some poor terriers mate. to you Kriss LOL Rumbled

    Anywhere between 50- ponds delivered off of ebay, just make sure you take note of the length of the roll, the one i got was 30mtrs, the wod i got from travis perkins, the whole thing cost about £100 pounds including screws staple gun and staples etc. Alot cheaper and bigger than the chicken coups on ebay etc
  19. longdog13
    Good old Ebay matey, i got it for 50 pounds posted. its inch x half inch weld mesh, 30 mtr roll, it was a private seller, but i'm sure you can get the inch x inch stuff quite cheaply
