    Was the bird found?

    ratting is a different game altogether with the ferrets. . . most of todays strains have never seen a rat. In the past when I was ferreting a pheasant shoot in the West Country, I regularly used to flush rats from rabbit warrens.

    Interesting post this one Vin. I keep both hobs and jills for the job, but have more jills. When watching them work from the onset, I would agree with whippet 99 that the hobs tend to settle down quicker. Of my best workers, they have taken to the task without much bother but by the time they are into their second season their progress is quite noticeable in that they are more thorough in searching the warrens. By the time you hit the Christmas period in the second season I feel they should really be grafting or its time to part company. I prefer to work the smaller/medium sized ferrets from c

    Who won the champion lurcher class I was at ringside, but went back around the stalls before the class finished. Some fine dogs there though

    I found it hard to part with that Hob Hywel . But Tomo needed him more than I did for the pack The Jill is a cracker and I'm certain she will fly when the time comes I would have taken a couple if the kits today but I still think there a bit young for anything other than a little tester It won't be long before there out and at it . Thanks again Hywel I agree with you Vin, they are still a bit young. Mine will go to ground with the experienced ferrets around November. Please let me know how they progress

    Excellent, glad to hear it Tomo. That hob you've got was into everything as a kit and had it not been that I had enough hobs here I'd have kept him for myself. I kept those two back for you and Vin as I knew they would get plenty of graft.

    you can have it mate... or the other one that had kits earlier and is now running on the wheel getting fitter and faster by the day. How are the young hob and jill progressing vin?

    Saturday for me, as it's lurcher day. One of the very few shows I attend these days, a good day.
  10. Hywel
    Indeed
  11. Hywel
    Many thanks for the kind offer mate, but I am fully stocked for next season. I will certainly give you a ring if that changes
  12. Hywel
    I could possibly help you out. PM me for more info.

    I've had kits from whippet 99 previously and they are excellent workers.
  14. Hywel
    Hope you can make it, be good to see you again mate Yes, I'm confident I will be there this year.
  15. Hywel
    I'm putting this show in the diary. I don't attend many, but missed this one last year and wished I hadn't.
  16. Hywel
    Further to the above, aside from those previously reserved I have a couple of kits that have due to unforeseen circumstances become available. They are from a proven working strain. If interested, PM me for details.

    Sunday, without doubt as that's when the terrier and lurcher show is on.
  18. Hywel
    I will have a litter here (if all goes to plan!) entirely worker to worker bred from a proven strain going back a number of years. The mating was undertaken for personal use, but there will likely be a couple spare to a working home(s)

    lol depends on the mink. I've had mink that have gone through the whole process without a single bite, others that bit me, but only with the glove on, and then other's who've hit my bare flesh. It actually isn't as bad as you would expect.... Thanks for the feedback, very interesting processes that you have explained in the videos.
  20. Hywel
    Excellent video Just out of interest, how many fingers do you need to stitch back on during the taming process
  21. Hywel
    Never heard of that before, excellent

    PM for you.

    As has been said already, sounds like a hormone imbalance. I've got a hob here that loses a large patch of hair behind his ear every time the jills come into season. However, it rectifies itself come Sept/Oct.

    I like the one second from the right .........

    A top job there Rob, almost as good as that Ermine you did for me. I've also got that Stoat here I need to get to you sometime.
