    yup clean clean is the order of the day, one of the biggest christmass tree producers in the country and a game farm and comercial shoot. very inportant people landing at all hours gota be clean. nothing worse to clients to see than crap and bags all over the place, and the birds are clean and dry they have to be when you have that many birds together its a constant battle with disease! we spent upto £20.000 a year on medication but ive given up on replying to posts on forums about sick game birds as .........."i dont know what the f**k ime talking about"

    just to add we go thru last season with less than 10% losses on the pheasants and under 4% on ducks! we had a MASSIVE cockups with the partriges we had 4000 out of 5 000 escape at 10 weeks old when the boss was on holiday, they were all over the yard in the fields in the woods f***ing every where! we started wrighting new cvs out lol but thru a bit of brain power and a bit of hearding that would put a champion collie to shame! we then lost 260 in one foul swoop at 14 weeks the night before they were due to go out! the lights had been on all night then the boss decided to switch them off at ni

    do you know were i got my fell boots from? i was helping a old woman from the village do her garden, and their on the rockery was a old hobnailed pair of fell boots like garden orniments she said they have been their for years so i said can i have them a wee scrum and dub and thier fine!
  17. perthshire keeper
    i honestly think so, i realy do, when mine die ile be getting more....
  18. perthshire keeper
    Jawn I'm not the only person who has experienced this but once 2 terriers develop a hatred for each other its nigh impossible to break other than keep separated or get rid. Once the 'feud' has started.....usually means someone has to go..... i fear thats the general rule with tykes...they hold a grudge as well as a traveler family do
  19. perthshire keeper
    and sugestions on how i do that? i have a firm hand with terriers but, remember their only pupsPups that are trying/going to kill each other. If it were mine the first one to start would get the lead wrapped round it's arse and a bloody good rollicking. If it ignores you tell it harder i make hunting whips and kennel crops for a bit of cash on the side........they have been told pretty hard gnipper ..but their only pups still, ime just going to have to be on them like shit to a blanket! and give them a bit more time

    right gents, as a lot of you will remember i got 2 lakelands that ime as proud as punch about! untill about 3 weeks back they had lived together very well (other than when i stupidly pup a 3rd pup in with them for company...you remember that thread right?!!) the dog is catching rats and handleing them bloody well he has had a half a dozen mink from down the river and their only just over 6 month. the bitch is much lighter built and is a bit behind in comeing along but still killing rats well, i recon she will be ok with time. now the trouble is, 3 weeks back they had a fight, and i dont me
