    the ridgeback would probably make a good pig dog.light enough,fast enough and certainly game enough for the job.my ex wife breeds them in germany they have 4 bitches who are up for anything.nice dogs. some very heavy set,i would go for a lighter one myself. atb

    a dog of that stature will probably not get old when hunting boar. small light dogs are better suited imo terriers( very agile in thick cover which boar take on when under pressure) do a good job in keeping them busy and a couple will hold smaller ones no problem. bigger pig more terrier! the tactic of nip and move is better suited than getting hold and keeping it. even a BIG dog will have trouble holding larger pigs( best chance is an ear/nose grip. both are at the dangerous end of the quarry!!!) if you have tried holding a 45 kilo pig by the back leg while putting a knife between his ribs

    i'd try to get anywhere along the rhein/mosel. saar louis,elsass are definately well stocked and causing damage to crops.i've been on the german side of the border rheinland pfalz. happy days and nights

    the stutzen i have used have all been accurate,the problem being that the barrel is fixed. any heat will cause expansion and change of poi. in quick succesion shots will wander,a cooling period( gun specific) will alow the poi to revert. a gun smith who cut down my8x57 mauser told me he would cut off bit for bit untill he had "around the length" i wanted ( 43 cm from bolt to muzzle, the minimum allowed in germany for along weapon) as the accuracy may suffer if cut in the drall( spiraling of the barrel,only know the german word for it sorry. rifling may be the moer precise ) as with many r

    i think if we could get the airgunners,netters etc all to respond then we must have a large number of voices. you are quite right about the anglers there must be millions of them,many of whom pursue other field sports( as i fish). that being the phrase of the day,FIELD SPORTS.

    if she should be small enough( as big as a rabbit?) then why not. the german s use tiny teckel for the job. i'd keep the terrier for above the ground and try a ferret under. just an opinion mate.

    damn right i'll put my name to it. irrespective of whether the law is to be passed in england,ireland wales or scotland we should ALL be concerned.whether lamper,netter,long dog or terrier man. can we get the moderators to put this on ALL FORUMS? is it possible to consolidate all info( singatures) and send them to the respective organisation? seems to be a little bit of big brother again.

    there was a thread on here a couple of weeks ago with a beaglexrussel nice looking dog( may have been for sale). the jagd terrier is from temperament a very hard dog,headstrong, i have heard people say that they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. i have worked with them and find it to be more or less true( dog to dog). some will tell you you may have problems with a bolting dog working rabbits( giving tongue for a rabbit when you are waiting for a fox etc). may well be a little annoying but if you want an all rounder( as do i,i bought a parson russel) i guess you will learn what the d

    yes mate a prt. didn't breed him myself.bought him at 8 weeks he is coming on well,has good nerves and is a pleasant dog. cheers for the feedback.

    hope you get the chance to do what you want mate. good to see the next generation is interested and keen. put in a good explanation for the controll of vermin that even the bambi/watership down fans can understand and you might do all of us a good turn, atb with the course work and for your future.
  12. waidmann
    surely everyone knows that any single method of fox controll is pointless.its a combination of shooting,trapping and work to earth which can make the difference( see salisbury plain experiment). as seperate entities we lessen our lobby. in germany ALL are represented by their grouping( landesjagdverband)falconers,hunters etc regardless of how they work. surely this must be possible at least on a site like this,we must have a fair few men/women on here who are basc members? any grouping of say 200 or more must be heard by an organisation which operates in their interest. i would like to t

    http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad187/w...ann/tyke008.jpg tyke at 13 weeks.plays hell with the ferrets and is generally on top form,unlike me with the camera.pic not too good sorry.
  14. waidmann
    being relativly new to english shooting i would have to ask, does the countryside alliance not reprisent all such fieldsports? does the basc not get involved unless a petition is thrown at them? would it be worth starting such a petition on this site? on all forums. would the mods accept/condone it? i see lots of people starting these things in the interest of ONE or the other,surely these things affect us all irrespective of sport.its about hunting in general.
  15. waidmann
    thats true, if you accept an inch they will stick a mile up you. we can't allow an infringement on our rights,as it is a legal pursuit we follow( at the moment) placidly sitting an thinking will not stop them( as with the dog/fox laws) we have a lobby and as such should use it.in any way possible. write to mp's, basc or equivilent. we owe it to the sport and to following sportsmen to defend what we have left from idealistic encroaches( alot of the bull they come out with is nothing more than that!). humanisng of animals,implications of "feelings" and unfairness for example. its ok to keep

    any news on the dogs? tried vikipedia but cant find the stuff. sorry

    another seven mallard and a canada goose last night. we got drenched( good weather,badly clothed). trying another pond next week to give this one a rest. atb

    there is a plant which can cause very serious reactions, its called herculaeum/gigantaeum. grows up to about 2m and has lots of yellow pollen( this causes the reaction) i'll google the name.and get back on here. sorry can't find it. ask a gardener. its well known and often in gardens. as i said its pretty big loks a bit like a thistle( without the thorns) might be worth a look if you are out that way although it would be helpfull to have seen a pic so you know what to look for. some towns are having people go around spraying this stuff,it doesn't belong here ans is a bad irrita

    you can teach an old dog new tricks, if its in him he will take to it like a duck to water. we have lost an " older" dog to heart failure while working( jagdterrier) in a man made earth( concrete pipe 20cm,one fox in front and one behind him.he was going mad for an hour so we dug to him( only around a foot deep, normally he bolted them very quickly out of these set ups). we dispatched the first fox( 7.62 pistol) removed the dog then dispatched the second fox while the dog was taken to the car,very wobly on the legs. he died on the way to the vets. conclusion of the vet heart failure. a bosti

    no i don't think it sounds good. try calling the police and ask them what they think.all of you preferably tomorrow night at say 8 o clock? these things lead to no good.one thing to another. as mentioned in another reply the police will have to come out anyway so whats the point? another start on the rights we have to protect, what do the basc have to say? i try to inform the land owner when i'm out so he doesn't think it may be someone else.
  21. waidmann
    you may find that mossies which have been in dodgy( pesticide,herbicide) water can cause such problems. wasp/bees nest near the kennel? no ticks? work on rats? hope you get it sorted
  22. waidmann
    not being funny mate but it may be the ceapest option to go to the vets and get sorted what it is. if sarcoptes mites they can also infect humans. if youknow what it is you can treat it quickly and effectivly. good luck

    too big certainly( for natural earths) is when he cant fit into a 20cm concrete pipe( only a rough guide) and as for too small i have seen kaninchen teckel bolt fox in natural earths, it depends more on the methods of the dog. if a five kilo dog try to get a throat hold on a fox he will more than likely bite off more than he can chew( literally) if he stands off and only gets to grips with the blunt end of the fox he will have more success. try the dog out and see how he goes. what kind of dog are you looking at?
  24. waidmann
    thanks huntress, he has a lovely square muzzel and a fine head, not too good to see in the photo. he has nerves and bottle for two( chased my sister in laws cat cat out of the garden yesterday just bit him in the ass as he went up the fence at warp speed:clapper: good lad) looks to be pretty leggy too. he is doing well on the recall and retrieve as soon as i think he is strong enough i'll introduce him to rabbits. already knows ducks and geese, just hangs on to them! any more russel pups around from this year? would be nice to see them.

    on the continent they train the dogs in wooden tunnel systems with a lid. this enables the dog to follow a fox through( seperated by a bar system) and you can trap the fox so the dog has to stand him( still seperated) this makes the dog crazy as he cant get to his quarry.the advantag is of course that you can monitor the dogs progress( knots in string which turn when the fox/dog move through) and can get to know how the dog will react. a training aid only but ausefull one. it is not the same as 2m below in an earth but the dog gets to know his quarry and you the dog at work. are there such f
