mark i would be very suprised if those dogs of yours had 3 mins inside them on 1 hare mate. if you go and run there mark pase yourself give the dogs at least half an hour beetween runs. they will NOT be able to do what they do on rabbits, take it from somone thayt knows mate, that little kelpie of mine is simmilar bred to yours, and the same size . you know she can knock rabbits over on the lamp hitting 30's . retiving hares mine has about 1 good miniut in her, at a time. and remember mine has had loads, yours are compleat novices on hares

all my jobs that are labour intensive, i charge £15- 20 per hour, example ferreting, if its a farm/golf course then its £15 an hour+ i might need an extra pair of hands i usualy charge the customer an extra £50 per day for that. so in total it would be £170 for 8 hours work, it would work out roughly the same for a back garden rabbit job under shed or summat like that. but you may get a little more ,again based on roughly £15 per hour. the last back garden job i did i quated £75 and i was there about 3 hours night time work is £20 an hour, tonight for example i am going

squirrels , rats , mouse, mole . in a NORMAL domestic property i charge £90. i base that on me making 3 visits, i may need to make 4-5 visits , but that dont happen often . i usualy manage to deal with the pests in 3 visits. also with squirrels same as moles i aint only going to lay 1 trap . for moles i may lay a dozen or more, i like to fecking suround them squirrels a may put 3-4 traps maybe even 5. to me, more traps = les visits = more money

heres a pic of one, her dam was a bitsa lurcher . that had colie, saluki, wolfhound, in her breeding she stood only 23" and waighed 44lbs the dogs sire was a springer, and it was an accidental mating, unfortyunatly this pup only made it 12 month old. as you can imagin its obediance was excelent , and i evan had it doing all the little circus type tricks as well, unfortunatly i will never know how good or bad it may have been in the field. i personly think it had an excelnt shape , with great feet wide shouders, it certanly looked the part as far as ferreting mooching , types go.

A new book on training working lurchers..........
TOMO replied to Sorley x's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
i wouldn't buy it , theres no point. theres enough info on the net. also on the net if you have a problem there may well be difrent solutions to the same problem. this would give you a choise . with a book there is probly only going to be one solution to a problem , and that will be from the orther(spelling) the book writer. and as already said D.slaights dvd's , are very good as a basic guied to dog training. there are loads of books out there with dog training in mind, it would just end up as another boring lurcher manual. lets here about stories, days ,nights out, good, -

WELL IM AMAZED THIS THREAD IS STILL GOING I HAVE ONLY LOOKED AT IT A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE WRITING IT TO BE HONEST IT WAS PART MEANT , TONGUE IN CHEAK. BUT BECAUSE OF MY NOT TO GOOD USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IT COMES ACROSS A BIT STRONG. BUT THE POINT WAS STILL THE SAME, ABOUT ASKING PERMISION. BUT OF COURSE I CAN SEE THAT IT WASN'T RECIEVED WELL BY LANDOWNERS OR KEEPERS. I ALSO DIDN'T WORD IT RIGHT READING BACK AS IT HAPPENS I HAVE A LOAD OF PERMISION, AND I ALSO WORK AS A PEST CONTROLER. SO I GET PAID WORK AS WELL. IN FACT THIS SEASON HAS BECOME VERY DIFICULT GETTING ROUN
