    sometimes its to do with the excitement of the work and others to do with drinking cold/dirty water. it should in both cases stop very quickly. as above rice helps and lots of clean water. keep an eye on her as botulism and other nasties are more likely in cold/previously frozen waters( decaying resarting due to sunlight). not trying to scare monger you. how old is the dog? atb

    exactly my point. a flyer will bolt the fox where a stayer will not( stop ends etc) because she will allow the fox to get out of the corner only to find a dog on his backend a couple of min later. i could only have steady guns when working these two for obvious reasons but they did not fail if the fox was home and no problem with badger and raccoon either( in germany). i see the point of the digging men/women who need a dog to hold ground and bottle up. I find for quick bolts and lots of earths in a day that other styles of work do the trick( obviously a fox put to groundby hounds may not

    where are you bud? do you have a price in mind?

    i might be of a different opinion here, are we saying that the only dogs good to ground are stayers? have you ever worked a "flyer"? they find,harass and when it gets hot they move.find again often from a different approach.i have had a bitch and her bitch pup who both worked like this and no fox held it out long with them.they only made contact at the arse end(neither were ever marked and some foxes bolted with the brush stripped).both were tested in trials and did well. digging is not the only way to bag the fox.what of the earths we cannot dig? dogs like this will work seven times a we

    the best knives i have owned were made by gerber.last a lifetime. had a good one from helle( 3 layered steel) about £60 i think? i would not spend so much on a knife.

    untill you get some deeks throw the pigeon( the ones that look a bit too full of lead) in the freezer and use those,you can take them out and re-freeze them a few times. decoy direct do a good flocked decoy with spring poles.it may be worth getting a bouncer/floater to add some movement to the pattern. good fun isn't it!?

    how much if you were to sell it bud?

    i would not brred from the dog untill he has a couple of seasons "proof" at whatever you work him. especially a head strong dog may start to waver from the training with a little experiance( by no means bad thing when dogs can"think for themselves" for those long retrieves when problems need to be solved). good work,healthy dogs both proven to your standards. thats the way imo. normal fee would be the price of a pup( or a pup) but do it for the right reasons mate. as you say there are enough dogs homeless or of poor quality out there, lets not add to them. atb whatever you decide.

    whether this is normal for the type of gun or not the gun is unsafe( a few people having had the same problem)and should be taken back to the rfd. imho NO gun/rifle should fire when a simple action such as closing the barrel is carried out.( a friend had a similar problem with an under and over( 30.06x 12g) due to harndend grease behind the pins). potentially fooking deadly,get rid( to a dealer!!) and let him decide whether it is fit to be sold on. atb

    give it a go with what you have bud, add the dead birds to the pattern,if you have no cradles then take some wire coathangers and cut them up to make supports for the heads( just push them through the mouth and into the ground). let us know how you get on.

    i would give your fao a ring and clear it up as .22rf is not a caliber but a caliber group( it may save embarressment at your rfd. good luck. is it just me or is this often a problem? someone had the same with .22 cf on another thread. wording which seems confusing to say the least.

    if you get chance to introduce them to fox( shot when lamping and still warm) then let them have a good rag,i find thid the best way to introduce them to the quarry without putting them off by being bitten. have they not made any attempt to go to ground yet while rabbiting? i normally send them as pups through drain pipes and the like( short to start with and getting longer as time goes on). once they know the fox as quarry they tend to go to ground of own accord( keep an eye on them,it may be worth a collar). once that happens i would take them out and check some earths( if poss have an e

    i have had two m98( one in 30.06spr and the other 8x57is). the 30.06 had a scope on and shot like hell,very happy with it( cost around 600 euro from frankonia jagd in germany brand new) the 8x57 had no scope,the barrel cut down to 45cm as a follow up/driven shooting rifle( i had the saftey converted to a "pull to cock" and broad leaf sights fitted,sling to the muzzle etc etc) in total about 250 euro) this one had alot of wobble in the action but never let me down( beleive me it got dirty,frozen,wet and generally mishandeled). a cracking rifle that i would reccomend to anyone.

    buck fever is the jitters while redying to take the shot( if not controlled often causing people to miss). with a little experiance you can steady yourself, untill the shot is out and deer down then it gets you. some get it really bad,some don't.

    lakie x Russell cross border the other thing that made me think "teckel" is the angled hind legs( may just be the way she is standing). a teckel normally just has red spots above the eyes,lakeland seem to have more of a red mask. where did you get her from if i may ask?
  23. waidmann
    hence the bold letters "can" and "absolutly". standing corn,maize, and thick woods are more than capable of stopping a round( even from larger calibers) the question is are they safe backstops,as a rule NO they are not as you can never be" absolutly" sure.......... have you thought of freestanding seats? a third or fourth leg is easily done. if no other method will allow a shot then yes for the odd hare or fox sitting up would be worth it.

    it might help to say how big she is, where you are and whether she is sound to the gun. good luck with the sale and i hope she finds a good home.

    you mean when your'e heart races? you shake? sweat? yes bud very common,you have to learn to deal with it( switch off/on) and i get it when i have fired the shot and see the deer down an old guy once said to me "when that stops.stop shooting because then its just for the sake of it"! concentrate on the shot and not what you are shooting AT. atb
