    Bill this is the first time I have ever seen information about where the rillington bedlingtons went. Neil Beacon was from Chasetown and he did have an issue with parvo a lad near me was one of the unfortunate ones. There was a lot of talk about the working ability of the pups Neil Bred and that they were poor quality. My mate has one and I have been out for seasons with this dog and it has been an excellent rabbiting dog. We ferreted a large bank of heather on a grouse moor one day which you couldn't net and we just followed the dog ferreting everything he marked he took 3

    A lot of people putting strong words on here seem to missing the point here that this lad may have located a pure Bedlington Stud dog which is possibly related to dogs from one of the best working strains there has ever been. Producing a litter of first cross Bedlington's out of such a dog if it is genuine it is virtually guaranteed they will be workers. The variables when producing 1st Crosses are so few and every dog I have seen which is genuine first cross will be about 22 inch to the shoulder bitches possibly a little smaller and like peas in a pod. Will they all work big qu

    Neil Beacon from Staffs no longer breeds Bedlington Crosses he got into trouble with his local council and there was some bad press on here about dogs. I can only speak for what I saw when my mate got his dog. The Bedlington stud dog was a superb stamp strong and an excellent coat. The litter I saw were superb well cared for and a credit to the man. Like already said the dog my mate has is as good a first cross as I have ever seen robust and a coat I have not seen on any other first cross. Nobody seems to know where the bedlingtons went but they were genuine rillington

    The secret to this cross is without doubt the quality of the Bedlington used. If the dog you are talking about is a genuine rillington bred dog then you could be onto a winner. My mate bred a litter out of newcombes blue when George was still alive and every dog out of the litter were exceptional workers taking all quarry and my mates was also highly trained. Lads who got pups out of this litter were coming back for years to try and get another. In respect to your comments about the greyhound my major concern would be the line of breeding of the greyhound in respect to soun

    The MK3 does seem to use batteries quicker than the mk1. I use rechargeable 9v batteries as I seemed to go through batteries really quickly. In respect to your comment jok that's a lot of locaters to cover the area a mk3 would do with 1 but each to there own. I have spoken to numerous people who hate the mk3 and just don't rate them and have given them away.

    That sounds a good day. Were any in young. We finished yesterday catching 2 young and all does in young. Finished with 17 from anew spot.

    I changed to the mk3 some years ago and would never go back. Yes it takes a while to get used to the functions on the mk3 but it is a fantastic finder. The search facility is an improvement on the mk1 making it quicker to locate the ferret. The Mk3 does not suffer from interference as you used to get with the mk1 around wire fences. Personally I find the after sales service provided by Deben excellent.

    Hi caravan monster my dog lamped with no issues until one night he missed a rabbit with possibly 10 others in the beam which had happened before but this night he just lost his head and went totally deaf to whistle or voice. I tried retracing all the training but most of that involved having a lead or long line which the dog new and he behaved. As soon as there was no lead or long line he defied all commands. I was advised to use the whistle as soon as he did not respond use the shock collar instantly repeat the whistle and with 2 uses of the collar the problem stopped and he re

    Hi what cross is the dog you are having the problem with. My mate who I go ferreting with who is an excellent dog trainer has faced a real challenge with his first season collie bred lurcher. It has a natural curiosity with sheep due to the collie blood just wanting to herd them. In respect to the age of your dog it is not old enough to have reached the finished point of fully stock broken and will not for some time. As the dog get older and sees work it will change and when the blood is running what was on appearances a stock broken dog can quickly change something I have

    Does anyone know of any whippet litters around the Yorkshire area.

    Really nice stamp of a dog. Do you know how the parents were bred. Were they both 1st crosses.

    Jay Jays at Askern are really good for all raw meat supplies. I have bought from them with no problems with anything. Really good selection of products and nice people to deal with.

    Hi where is the best place to buy spun polyester.

    I would advice purchasing the hearing aid battery tester which you can test the collar batteries with. Available on ebay. It is a rayovac tester. I used to do as you change them every so often but with the tester check them when required. So simple to use. I saw it on a utube video.

    Due to the new industry guidelines and CRRU we have gone down the non toxic monitoring on all contracts something we possibly did even before CRRU. We have also looked towards break back traps in AF bait stations and the success of these has raised some question. Looking back over possibly 4 years I cannot ever remember a single contract where non toxic indicator blocks have shown any rat activity despite people on site reporting visible rat activity not even from young rats. All bait stations being Protecta LP bait stations. Due to reports of rat activity I have replaced L

    Hi does anyone know anybody who repairs Mk 1 ferret finders or makes collars for them.

    I looked at some ex forestry ford rangers they had certainly seen some work at a local garage he had an agent who sourced them at auction. He reported a good number chassis wise were too far gone. It is my understanding after speaking to a forestry commission manager involved in vehicle dispersal they all go to auction you cannot buy direct.

    On some private estates tenant farmers have the right to give permission for control of rabbits whether it is keepered or not and we have gained permission in such situations It usually isn't long before you come across the keeper and at times this has led to further permission it is a trust issue and they will keep an eye on you. We have also approached keepers and gained permission that way also. On pheasant shooting land you will always struggle to get permission in the shooting season for fear of disturbance of the birds. After the season has finished there is very little t
