having always worked with small dogs i have found the sows more dangerous(a boar will "shove and tusk" which generally throws the dog away a sow will bite and rag the wee dogs,often smashing them up quite badly).the idea for us was to "move them to the guns" and i often found that two dogs would work together and spin a pig( one at each end,one sounding off the other grabbing a leg/tail or just ragging his arse end untill the pig turned.then they would change over............. only packing in when "stand loud" was given,normally wounded/pigs with experiance of dogs( and driven shoots!) these

as colster says( i "sold" one to my brother yesterday). i filled in the section on his cert and wrote a letter to the firearms dept. as far as i'm aware nothing needs doing to mine. the feo is coming this week si i'll check with him and let you know if i've messed up

i have never had trouble with my terriers around kids( bring them both up properly and respecting each other and its fine). depending on how far you run really( a leggy border when of an age suitable) WOULD PROBABLY run most of us into the ground as above a lurcher from good stock would do the job too,just a bit quicker good luck whatever dog you choose p.s. edited to say whichever dog it should be you have to watch them around kids. i would go for a pup.

i'm all for keeping dogs,but as above they should be well fed,exercised,treated and cared for( including vets etc). last but not least WELL WORKED i can understandpeople having 3- 4- 5 dogs( retired,injured etc etc). as long as YOU have the means( space,finances etc) to keep the dogs WELL then smashing.if not don't. all the best for you and the dogs fellas.

handy looking dogs bud so they are working at 14months? do they tend to double up at that age or straight in on their own?( i'm thinking more of pure strenghth rather than heart/prey drive although they do look very strong already ) they all look fit and healthy and would be a credit to their owners michael

agreed on that bud. i'm sure that most of the slagging off/bitching that drags alot of threads down would not happen if the people were not anonymous( user name).most would not be so quick with their views and slow with their brains if "stood in the pub". i'm sure most sites have the same problem. atb. michael

i have dug to a fox who was up to his belly in water but not that deep a mate lost a teckel in a drain(30cm. one end dry the other was 2/3 water). the fox was dead on being washed out shortly followed by the dog. gutted. i always check both ends of a drain before entering the dog. my guess would be that both dog and fox suffered hypothermia and drowned. a good dig all the same bud atb

looks as though she is getting the exercise bud. strong looking bitch how is she bred? cheers,

i think the problem may be moisture on/in the cabinet. cheers

:thumbs:a great write up ned. i'm sure you did your best to get to the dog and thats all anyone can do i have to say having worked on boar that it takes some trust in the dog to get hold at the "dodgy end" of a seventy kilo pig its a hell of a feeling to see your own dogs( or anyone elses for that matter!) getting "stuck in" and giving it all,whether above or under ground they are the proper heroes of our sport yis michael

i would start with basics ( sit,stay,heel etc) and then progress onto retrieve and whatever else you want from the dog( that sort of thing is never "needless". i was pigeon shooting today and my parson brought the birds,bonus :whistling) at a point when you think he is ready take him out with the others and let him get worked up,next time let him run with them........... don't rush him. atb

nice bit of film there ned keep it up bud,you should make a film(alot of the stuff about over here from lurchers,terriers,air rifles,lamping etc) i've yet to see dvd with that kind of thing though.( if you make a fortune you can pay for my ticket ). once again i say the best thread on thl yis, waidmann.

i have a cz 452 style in .22lr( 16 inch barrel) and have no problems with accuacy as yet. i think the small ammount of powder is "burnt out" by then so i doubt a longer tube will make any difference. someone who knows better may well correct me. atb waidmann.

i was advised (by a gunsmith) last week not to fit trigger kits but instead to stone the working parts. the problem being( according to the smith) is that you have to drivr out a pin,this will often be bent and causes the sear to not sit properly and therefore potenetially making the rifle unsafe. stoning the trigger assembly and "full service", mirror polishing the bolt comes in at £35.00 which i think is very reasonable(a trigger kit costs around 15-20 quid at a guess????). i will not "mess" with stuff i know little or nothing about that concern safety( car brakes,guns rifles,the kids sw

smashing looking terriers mate hope they get a good home.

not a bad bit of advice. take a look at the used sights on here( or other sites) before buying something which will only cause you strife.# good luck

good luck to the both of you

good looking dogs bud.

definately take it to a gunsmith mate. it may be easy to do( i don't know tbh). atb

s+b 8x56 is a good quality low light scope( optimum of light transmission).are you thinking of illuminated recticle( something i would go for if shooting without a lamp ). as above i would get a quality scope and a rifle that you like/suits your style of hunting. atb

phone basc this morning and ask what the crack is. i would then follow their advice. it seems the feo may well have "a bee in his bonnet" about something or other( maybe having said "no" and you getting it through,this is a problem between him and his gaffer imho. i'm not sure you can refuse to hand over the cert' but basc will advise you on that too( if you do have to hand it over then make sure you have a photo copy and get him to sign or initial it).as is mentioned above you have done nothing wrong( have kept to the conditions of the cert) and untill you do place in the offensive magaz

did anyone see the documentry on tv last week?( i put it in the shout box). raiding bin bags is a bad developement(frozen ground makes it hard for them to find food/protein. pigs (sus scrofa)need meat AND vegatable matter to digest properly) once they have worked out that its easier to scavenge then the ball is rolling for conflict. they will turn a bin over and if necessary chew the hinges off!!!! watch out for them in bad weather(frozen) on ploughed fields/drillings/muck spreading. you can just walk up to them at night (very poor eyesight but very good nose) but mind the wind.normally

they can be thick headed but teckel owners call it "character" the ones i have trained have been a pleasure bud. eager to learn with a good prey drive. they can do most anything limited only by size.( retrieving/water,bushing,marking,trailing,hunting up and earth work of course). a top breed waidmann

sorry about that, must have overlooked it waidmann

they can breed all year long ,so it looks like you dont know to mutch about them , did i say i was an expert but if you look on the uk wildboar website your see it says starts at feb peaks in april. ive never heard of or seen any with young round here in winter. as long as the lead sow is not hunted(shot) then the breeding season WILL apply. as the matriarch she will coordinate the others.the problem of "all year breeding" is solely due to ill informed hunters shooting the head of the sounder. youngsters are CAPABLE of breeding at around 40kg.a normal time frame says t
