    did,nt know whether to venture out on saturday or sunday this weekend with the ferrets and dogs but in the end decided to try my luck yesterday . i,m glad that i did, we had a drop of snow and it was bloody cold here in silly suffolk but today there is a blanket of snow outside ! as well as my two beddy/whippet lurchers, my ferreting partner jake, one of my own hobs,we also took along a young hob {and his owner] that i helped rehome earlier this year. it was the first time out ever for the young hob and he certainly did,nt hang about ! he only sniffed around the entrance for a few seconds and

    cheers for your replys people,very interesting ! i have always done more feretting than anything else, hense me having two beddy/whippets,but more recently i,v started feeding the birds on a small local diy shoot and beating on another local shoot so i, also getting the chance to do a bit of shooting myself. i,m only thinking ahead {as you do !} but just wondered if any one dog would be suitable, cheers plum!

    just a few lines to say thanks again to matt-hooks for his help concerning my rusty barrel. i spent a few hours today {whilst it was raining } rubbing the barrel with tin-foil and a coin then wipping it with a oily ragg. although it,s not perfect it,s much better so i,m well pleased just a few lines to say thanks again to matt-hooks for his help concerning my rusty barrel. i spent a few hours today {whilst it was raining} rubbing the barrel with tin-foil and a coin then a oily rag,although it,s not perfect it,s much

    the bitch is a two year old whippet/beddy , i,m no expert but i know she,s nowhere as good as her mother but as i,v said i think thats partly due to my (bad) training i bred her,me and the missus both love her,she will be with us till she dies so we,er trying to make the most of her, thanks for your helpfull replys,we,ll keep trying ! cheers plum !

    just a quick update on my bitch who,s been letting her rabbits go. on monday morning i took her for a bit of ferreting, although i took both the bitch and her mother before putting a ferret to ground i put the mother back in the van. we bolted a couple of rabbits one was chased by the bitch but was,nt caught, the second rabbit i bowled over with the shotgun, the bitch seemed a completly different dog she ragged the dead rabbit and seemed more involved and keen ! i feel sure that if this bitch had seen more work on her on rather than with her mother she would be so much better. as my mate said
