    Im not talking about working the dog with the whistle on the lamp, that would be daft. Im talking about day time, its usefull to be able to turn your dog when its hunting about. But thats just my way, im far from an 'expert'.

    3 pips for a 'recall' and 1 pip for 'turn'. the turn whistle command is a new one and one im still working on, coming on steady though. They're not spaniels so obviously have their limitations but non the less more than capable.

    Im going to throw a question to you all now... Do you think the standard of working ferret would be alot higher if more people worked rats with their ferrets? I couldnt give a f**k what people think about weather or not its cruel to use a ferret for ratting, just weather this would improve the quality of working ferrets? When a ferret is entered to rat it really sorts the wheat from the chaff! Ill admit non of mine will work rat other than possibly my hob but he hasnt been given a fair chance to be honest, certainly not seasons of work. I would travel a hell of a distance for a couple

    IMO the problem lies with people breeding from ferrets just because they bolt rabbits, they think that that constitutes work. No thought goes into the breeding and standards arnt high enough. Owners remember the few times they have dug to their 'best' ferret hard at a bottled up rabbit and forget all the times that same ferret had a rabbit bottled up and gave up on it. Or the ferrets that are aparantly good workers but never worked alone to prove what they are capable of. I dont care about how fast a ferret can kill a rabbit or wheather it bolted a mink once last year! Just give me a hones

    How? There are currently a few very convienient 'loopholes', the police know this, the courts know this, the antis know this and we know this, if the act was reviewed do you honestly think that these loopholes would be left so as us naughty dog lads can abuse them still?

    Getting this thread back on track! I would suggest this particular cross works well because the bull cross makes up for where the saluki cross lacks and vise versa, crossing 2 very different specialists. If the 'mixing pot' is stirred right it produces dogs that lack in very little. But as with all breeding it matters ALOT on the strengths of the parents as individuals.

    "review the Hunting Act" those words are making me nervous already...

    A friend of mine has a bitch that aparantly has glen of imal in the breeding. deerhound/greyhound/glen is the way the dogs bred, supposedly... The dog came from notts, dunno if anyone can elaborate...

    Now that really put a smile to my face! A very moving video. cheers Callum That was my first reaction!! Tom Mine too, who ever that little lads parents are should be very proud to be raising a kid with such a good attitude.

    I would imagine alot of damage could be done with a decent multi shot air rifle and a NV sight...

    cracker mushroom! turn the screen upside down and ya really cant tell the difference, lol

    On paper yeh, in reality no. Remember each parent only passes on half their genetics, so in theory they could both pass on the greyhound halfs or the saluki halfs and end up with a very heavily saturated greyhound or saluki pup that on paper is still a 50/50 sal/grey.

    Crackers! Love the coat on your big dog. Not long now untill both ours will be getting their first taste of proper graft...
  18. Born Hunter
    I wonder if its because people either want bull crosses or wheaton crosses? Too snobby to accept a cross of the 2 types! If i was after such a lurcher currently, i would jump at the chance, especially having the reasurance of knowing its a reeat breeding, so i could see/hear how the previous pups are going.

    Same shit, different day... Untill the hunting world unites i dont beleive theres feck all we can do. So ill carry on with my business and so will everyone else while the silly little bunny huggers worry themselves stupid over what they think we all might or might not be doing. Keep ya heads down, be sensible and use whats between ya ears...

    If that article is the worst that comes as a response to the cumbrian incident then we have been very lucky.

    Aston martin Vantage! hell fire they are beautifull! Lotus exige is just raw engineering and for the price will out match most things out there. And of course every countryman wants a landy, even if it does spend more time at the mechanics than in the fields, lol. At the mo ive got a VW Golf estate................. one day ill have my aston, lol.

    I for one would be interested to hear how they differ. SP gave his opinion a few months ago, as im sure you know he feels the wheaton lurcher wants the kill over asap whereas the bull cross often likes a bit of combat once having caught its quarry (of course neither can be faulted on their gameness just because of thier styles). We always hear the same old shit on these threads, very rarely does someone actually give their opinion on how the two crosses differ. Just tell me to feck off if you would rather not go into depth.

    Balistically, the bb shot is the best size for foxing, taking into consideration minimum required penetration for a humane kill and pattern density. Everybody has their preference, but ill stick to what does the job the best. Also a max of half choke is widely regarded to be the most appropriate for the larger shot sizes (and bb deffinately falls into the larger shot size catagory), as tighter chokes cause the pattern to blow up due to the tight constriction for the large pellets giving stray pellets and a f****d pattern. Ive used 36grm loads in my auto to great effect out to 35 yards (which i
