I use rabbit fever good quality I use 6z though as lots of bracken where I use them he does some nice 3yrd stop nets aswell

I like the beardy crosses I like the way they work and actually find them really easy to live with I've got a first cross border greyhound first one I've ever had with no beardy in it she is not as easy to live with but isn't really any bother to be fair never seen a kelpy cross but have seen some beating last couple of years really clever dogs

RIP Brian

I paid 250 for a cocker pup 3 years ago from a keeper it's my first spaniel and they have helped me with any training problems she is just worker to worker bred he has bred 5 generations but has avoided trialing dogs as they usually have no off switch
-
RIP Mr Winch really nice man

My one I use now is a petrol leaf blower certain that it was about 70 quid from ebay had it 2 years now don't really need extra oil in it as pipe fitted to exhaust so it forces fumes down the holes seems to work better at getting rats out of holes and under pallets and scrap wood will get a picture later
-
We're both her parents first crosses she looks a really nice type
-
I can honestly say that I have never weighed a ferret but I still say that a large Jill can get anywhere in a rat set that a tiny Jill can
-
I've used ferrets for years on rats I use average to large Jill's I've seen a couple of ferrets banged up a bit but not much but I've seen a small Jill forced out of a hole really damaged a large Jill can get anywhere a small Jill can in a rat set but just don't seem to take as much damage
-
I only really keep hobs now there bigger than most people would work if they kill in its a case of digging one hole to get them out I've got a couple of Jill's but they sometimes get dragged around setts I can't understand why someone would keep tiny ferrets for work a Jill of any size will work a rat and suffer alot less if the rat decides to stay put

Just coming up a year now
-
I get the lepto jab yearly just for my peace of mind got a little bitch here had a mild dose of it at 5 months old she only pulled through because she had been jabbed a few months before so the lepto jabs a no brainer for me as I do quite a bit of ratting but I know a lab died in 3 days licking a feed bag a rat had pissed on
-
I've used one for last 2 years last longer as you don't need extra oil in the mix
-
My mate was wanting me to put his deerhound first cross over my collie greyhound bitch in a couple of years but I think the pups will be far too big for what I want now as his dogs 31 to the shoulder
-
I've got a little bitch here first ever spaniel and never known a dog so chilled out around the house pleasure to be with she is coming up 4 but she is from working dogs I've heard of some with show blood in being a pure pain

Morton I've known churchy since I was 11 and he always had decent dogs yes he likes showing his dogs but they see a lot of work as well if his dogs were shit the hunt would f**k him off straight away you seem to have a real chip on your shoulder about North East lads I've had a few from him over the years and never been disappointed with any of them the little bitch I've got now is about the best I've had and she definitely never cost alot you obviously don't know the lad or his dogs just want to bring people down
-
Morton how do you work out that the North East has ruined the working lakeland you really do talk some shite
-
I don't lamp much these days but do alot of ferreting with the dogs I expect the dog to work with longnets and mark 100% ive had to untangle quite a few of my mates dogs from the longnets I think getting a really good rabbit dog takes alot of work I like just having a mooch about the reed beds and watching a dog find its own rabbits and catch them in cover and definitely don't think every dog is cut out for it
-
If you like the dog's you pay your money and take your chance ive got 2 off churchy both work, quiet in kennel and not hyper when not working I would never show a dog but ian puts lots of work into his dogs stripping coats on them when my dogs coat is messy I often pop round for a coffee knowing he will end up doing her coat lol

I'm certain chipper is still alive he walks with a frame now think he had some type of meningitis
-
Good luck with the litter

He wasn't found guilty he said he was guilty and the chairman knew that he had admitted he was guilty but still played him

Sunderland should of been thrown out of football when they allowed Adam Johnson to play again he was suspended until they realised they needed him to keep them up with the owner knowing full well that he had already admitted what he had done to that young lass in his interview with the police but was still happy to have a nonce playing for him as he needed him to play
-
I would really just be looking for parents that do alot of the type of work your looking for if you're wanting a dog for beating try and find a litter off something that does alot of beating all season ive seen dogs on grouse moors that couldn't be used on a shoot where a dog was needed to work closely and vice versa dogs bred from field trial winners are usually alot more expensive and usually no better than a pup from good honest workers the difference is usually they have a really good trainer behind them I would just look for something bred from a worker ive got my first spaniel she has ju

I thought ward used cowans dogs I'm not sure but that's what I was told onto the border cross dog he had
