Can anybody tell me where I can find the contact for my local ferret rescue? My hobs gone and I can only think to phone the likely places he may have been handed in. Simple question, just need an answer. Thanks BH

Dan, Ive been thinking about the differences in british lurchermen and you lads in the states. British lurcher lads dont tend to keep many dogs as its hard to get the work to fully test more than two fit decent running dogs. I know its different for some here and deffinately different for you over the pond where you can work half a dozen to their fullest. If you nacker a few dogs a season you still have dogs to work, if youre average lurcherman here who really likes to test his dogs to the fullest looses or nackers a couple of dogs a season then that put his kennell at least 2 years back!

2 jills and a hob is about right for what I do.

I dont know as I would tell a sole for a few weeks/months. I would have to think about it and figure out who I believed my true friends were before letting the cat out the bag. In all honesty I believe it would cause quite a bit of hurt. But I dont do the lottery so I dont need to worry about such things. lol

Nice sensible post MOO. Mixed days with keepers like that are great fun. Keep up the posts and pics

Sounds good. Only reason I ask is a couple of friends are thinking of doing the same only on alot smaller scale. Didnt realise you had taken on SO many! lol. Let us know how they taste... -

Lads can work their dogs how the f**k they want and its none of anyone elses business! You will find the men working and breeding proper digging dogs dont let their pups go to people who wont dig to them and test them so all this "if ya dont dig ya terriers ya gonna ruin the breed" is bollocks! And if you buy from stock you know f**k all about and expect the pup to be a top dog then youre asking for failure! Its bullshitters and money men that ruin lines, not lads that just want to enjoy a bit of rabbiting! Sorry mister rabbiting man i hit a nerve there Apology accepted
-
I guess what Im trying to say is, dont blame the lads that want a terrier for rabbiting/ratting with, blame the men that have a responsibility to the good digging lines to keep them 100% in the hands of men that will test them. If someone wants a terrier for rabbiting/ratting then there are plenty of non descript type terriers out there perfect for this. And whats wrong with that? Like I said, lies and greed ruin lines. Not a lad that is honest about having a terrier just for rabbits.
-
Why? In my mind there are digging lines and non digging/muck about type terriers. The men that dig their terriers and keep their line dont tend to let their pups go to non digging men that wont test them. So how are we gonna loose decent lines because some people would rather do a bit of rabbiting with their terrier that wasnt even bred for digging? Who is anybody to tell another man how to work his dogs? Men that dig their dogs will look after the digging lines and men that bush/rat/rabbit shouldnt ever get hold of digging lines if the men that do have them dont get swayed by money and gr

That big leggy plummer has shaped up into a nice lurcher moll! How old is he? Has he seen any work yet or will this be his first season? And whats the little white and brindle thing? Looks a bully whippety terriery type? Caught my eye straight away! Certainly looks a strong little tyke.

Awsum! Has it been worth it chimp? How do the finances of the whole thing work out? -
Do many people whos dogs are at reasonable off season fitness anyway get their dogs fit through ever increasing amounts of work? I think it helps to have access to lots of decent lamping ground if this is the method of choice. Not that I do this, just a question?

Piss in the ocean! Personally im quite happy to support a royal family. But then I dont bitch and whine about somebody having it better than me. Not that I belive the royal family have it better than me, but most seem to think they do.

Thinking back to my years at secondary school physical education/sports was a low priority. Football, cricket, tennis and some athletics was about it. Couple hours a week max! I went through the whole of my education having never thrown a javeline/shotput/discus, never played any contact sport, never so much as even taught about any combat sport (god forbid!). I f*****g hated cricket, enjoyed football and still do but was found lacking at any sort of serious level and tennis was only really for smashing the ball into your oponant . The sports that really interested me was track and field eve

Your right moll, I seem to recall there being just over 100 different strains and the jab only covering 7 of them as you say. It begs the question, why bother at all?
-
Do you honestly believe that a terrier does its job because it gets a rag at the end? Ragging means f**k all to them compared to their hours sparing under the ground! If you pulled a terrier out of a hole, showed it a dead fox, do you think that terrier would rag the fox knowing its true oponent is still alive and in the earth? Ragging a dead carcass isnt payment to them, working live quarry is payment.

GREED! Thats all it is! Take a look at DWs post £££££££££££££££££££££££££ ? I didnt realise running a shoot was so profitable, all keepers are millionaires right? Your acting very snobbish!We live in a world where in nature there are Pedators and Prey, From the plains of Africa and the mountains of Canada to your very own back garden there are creatures eating other creatures, even in the house that you live in. Im not as daft as I look, lol. Of course there is a food chain, even in our tame 'civilised' country. I would hate to think keepers/farmers want to eliminate o

My post certainly wasn't aimed at you BH . and I 100% agree they do and will take Gamebirds mate. they put down a average of 15,000 Pheasants on this estate and a few thousand Partridge, there are Buzzards everywhere as I'm sure Millet can back me up on, I see them regular ringing round and round and never seen one yet take a Gamebird although I'm sure some poults get taken now and again. there's a large meadow on the Esatate which you can only descibe as Watership down, its bunny city! this is the area where the Buzzards are most concentrated, there's a fair few bunny's with Mixy whi

I agree with you jasper, on some shoots they cause very little damage and what they do is perfectly acceptable. However on others its a different story...

Firstly I don't have a problem with game shoots. Just some of the individuals that bring shooting and the keepering profession into disrepute by their actions. Point is that the raptors take advantage of the artificially high population of prey items presented to them The same can be said of any other shoot pest, foxes, crows etc., that have been introduced or managed for mans pleasure and profit. It is man that has caused the 'problem' not the birds themselves. Again, the same can be said of all pests in game shooting and farming, so we leave them be as its not their fault, yes?In relation s
