    If only I could find a deerhound lurcher pup like that. I think deep down almost all lurchermen would like to work a decent, hard allrounder of deerhound blood, something very attractive about them. The old pics do add a special atmosphere to the pics ya just dont get with modern 15 meg digi cams.

    Very easy to nock someone when your behind a computer, screams of maturity and self confidence... I cant speak for Penny's dogs working ability as I havent witnessed them grafting but I have met her in person for a very lengthy chat and advice and her knowledge, experience and helpfullness is second to non in my experience. Her reputation preceeds her and its clear to see why. Its very easy to spot a fecking clown in the hunting world and Penny most certainly isnt. I beleive its been said before by someone but ill say it now "there are messers in all walks of life, but working dogs seems t

    Depends on the circumstances pal. If your ferrets have never seen rat before you cant garuntee they will do the job. The hobs probably the best choice but may have trouble working the tight spots. Sure you cant nock up a smoker? Or dig them out if possible. Where abouts are you? Possibly someone could come along with a smoker to help you out. We have had some great fun with a chainsaw smoker in and around outbuildings using various methods of despatch depending on the circumstances. If theres a few of you just use a decent ratting stick, often more productive than shooting, and safer.

    From this; to this; to the first success; The land i run is bloody hard for a pup to kill on but every night out shes noticeably sharper.

    Really had my heart set on this jacket! Ill be f*****g gutted if I cnt get a size to fit and I dont know of any shops that stock it so I can go try a few diff sizes on.

    Im 5'9" and 40" chest so usually a medium in clothing yet I tried on a harkilla 38" chest and it seemed very big on me. I particularly want the harkila pro hunter light because i want a jacket that fits quite well and not too baggy. Are harkila and seeland jackets particularly big for the sizes they are meant to be? Im sick of shite jackets so want the best but this size thing is really f*****g me off, HELP!

    Too much macho bollocks in our small dog world. Why 2 lads that keep different stock cant go out for a night on the lamp and be honest about each others dogs i dont know. Keep the money in ya fecking pockets, leave ya piss taking mates at home and just enjoy the crack and watching another type work along side your own prefered type.

    makes a change to have a look at a decent thread on terrier work.

    Im affraid i would most probably have the dog pts as i wouldnt feel it would have quality of life. very much depends on the dog and my situation at the time mind.

    Few years beating, then asked by the keeper to feed for a week for him, then helped out on work days, when i was out of work he sorted me part time work keepering for him and everything that goes with it. Only a DIY shoot mind you but still learnt a hell of a lot and that was how i got there.

    In many cases it isnt important weather or not there is a god but is important weather or not their is the belief in a god. The concept of a god gives people hope/strength. I dont/cant believe in a god/religion, but doesnt mean im right. For those people that blame all war/bad stuff on religion, grow the f**k up, if we werent fighting over religion we would be fighting over some other beliefs. Its just human nature to form groups and argue and fight.

    How did the fight go? Ive been eagerly waiting for a post on it. Might have missed it
  16. Born Hunter
    not for working dogs
  17. Born Hunter
    poacher and dotty are talking alot of sense!

    cheers buddy, might be worth looking into if he pays a fair price and isn't taking the piss with what he offers. Dunno if the numbers ill be getting (last season was very poor, hopefully better this season) are worth it for him but certainly keep him in mind for the future.

    Agree to an extent with what your saying bird. But surely this issue would be reduced with a good/experienced dog man behind the breeding, knowing what type of bullx to put to what type of colliex to get the desired attributes in the pups. Also, surely a line bred lurcher that has both collie and bull blood would reduce the issues you mention as with line breeding bull crosses or collie crosses. I think the bullx colliex mix has potential because of the fact they are two specialists (as with the salukix bullx mix), but as you say has the potential to go the other way to.

    Looks ready for the season

    I bet he doesn't lose sleep over it....
  22. Born Hunter
    collie/grey x wheaton/grey, im hopeing the wheaton blood in her shows when needed
  23. Born Hunter
    cheers buddy shes gradually getting there
  24. Born Hunter
    cheers fellas Shes certainly caused me a few headaches over the past year! I found it really hard to bond with her untill she turned 12 months old really, she was just such a independant, stubborn f****r. But we have a mutual understanding now and have a much better bond. I think shes one of them dogs that 'works with ya, not for ya'. Its all a learning curve for us both though, the seasons just around the corner and I cant bloody wait...

    From this little pain in the arse... to this bigger pain in the arse... she has her faults but she a tryer thats for sure and still very much a young up and coming pup.
