Ive had 2 one just learned something and forgot it straight away she just couldn't do anything total rubbish lived with my mam till she was 14 the other got to 3 and started dropping rabbits and watching them run away again left her for 4 month but she just carried on doing it so rehomed her everything else I've been really lucky with

I got a lepto booster as my dogs liver was enlarged and I put it down to rat bites as we done alot this year with them
-
I'm not sure that would be for something like the hunting act I know 2 cases where it was thrown out because it wasn't obtained legally
-
The police can say that they never got into the phone if it's in the possession of the RSPCA the only good thing is any brief in the country will have any evidence off the phone thrown out of court as it's hard to get a warrant to check a phone my sister works in the magistrates court and says that sometimes the police even struggle to get a warrant for that they usually rely on idiots letting them look at a phone but like has been said smart phones are a menace its not just the pics they store when and where they were taken but hope you get the dog back the RSPCA didn't have a warrant for you

My terrier was just diagnosed with an enlarged liver I feed her raw and when I checked online most information stated that white meat was better for her so she is on chicken, Turkey, fish and rice and tripe once a week they did a full blood test and everything was fine he said she might of always had it she is getting a scan done early next week as I'm wanting to take a litter from her and would rather be sure its nothing that could harm her changing her diet seems to of worked though

Ive got 2 off rabbit fever they catch plenty if set right
-
The keepers I know all kennel there dogs because of the number they have one of them has a spaniel in the house he says he has a better bond with her as he is with her more but I don't think it makes much difference to how they work
-
I feed my cocker mostly raw with cooked frozen vegetables she is working 3 times a week beating this is her first season she gets mostly lamb as its fatty and she doesn't seem to drop the weight as much she is my first spaniel it took me a while to work out the best food for her i had her on gain 28 and raw but she was just putting on weight she is just on raw now but some of the lads just have there dogs on wagg and they look good think it is just dependent on the dog
-
I've used the clusen one for a couple of years now still going strong good for rabbits but I find it hard to spot stuff with the red filter for it think it's to do with the led as I can see stuff ok with filter on my striker
-
Ive had dogs with collie in their makeup most of my life only ever had one pick her runs but I think some of that was down to the ground that we were running she only really done it daytime in 4 fields really and all had big setts in never did it on the lamp always hit the hedge after stuff just depends if you want a dog running everything you see no matter how far away sometimes it's the person on the other end of the lead should decide if its worth running a long run at something with a slight chance of a catch or finding something better
-
Some hob ferrets are just bolting ferrets if you want to keep the young the same as your bitchesI'd use a hob that works the same and can kill a rabbit I keep big hobs for work but probably the best worker ive got is average size quite chunky but they bolt or die depends how your hob works if you get what you are looking for
-
It's a similar coat to what Hancock's mr Jones had my mate has two off him they both have very similar coats to him can I ask what is the difference between a Welsh and a border collie
-
That's got some coat on him would he throw a similar sort of coat over a greyhound

Ive had mine ferreting since 7 month old she is 100% reliable marking holds netted rabbits don't think she is ready for lamping yet 10 and 1/2 months old she sometimes yaps in heavy cover if she can't get through and has put a rabbit up I rarely go lamping now so can live with the odd yap -
Do sprockers work in a different way to a cocker theres one goes beating with us but I don't get to see it work as he is always at the other side of a drive
-
Yes had to have him put to sleep a couple of year back he got throat cancer was a really good dog a real shame
-
Ive got a half cross border collie greyhound never had a dog with so much collie in she is just 10 months old but looking at those kelpie pups they look alot racier than what she was at the same age I like the larger amount of collie in her she takes a bit of a knock without any problems I can see these pups being the same
-
One of the places I ferret most of them are digs the rabbits on that farm just don't want to bolt the good thing is the deepest they go to is 1.5 ft we never purse net it longnets around so not noise walking over the set
-
Bill you seem to think its normal calling people a nonce it's a very nasty thing to call people ! A Nonce has no place in society to call someone a nonce because they don't agree with the shit you spout is unreal, your a disgusting old man as for your fighting skills I don't think you would know a fishing hook from a left hook I don't even think you are calling people a nonce to get a bite because that would take some sort of intelligence you really are a sad old man
-
The dogs ive seen usually hunt cover if there's sent around if not start taking the dog through woods what are you wanting to work the dog on

Contact number for Dave platte or joe Woolley
fatlad replied to merle the rabbit catcher's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
From what I been told lots of his mates sell his stuff and alot of the adverts for his stuff say bred from dave platts dogs not by him but like I said I know a few lads that really rate his stuff and buy direct from him and they often have to wait until he breeds a litter I don't know the man but I can see him becoming the next figure of hate now Hancock's gone
