this dude says it pretty well.

man thats creepy, its like your our ferreting doubles, i saw one of the pics and literally thought it was my dog and my mates dog, my spade and jacket, crazy similarities between the dogs particularly.

so had the pup out yesterday, at my neighbours vineyard and im only pis*ing about typing this because i am waiting on someone before heading out again, had 6 and a baby, my dog has only been ferreting once before (as i have said before, she is never going to be a world beater due to my lack of commitment when she was a pup) and the ferret i was using had never been. we were just setting up and i glanced about to see where the hound was, chewing what i thought was a lump of cow shit, turned out to be a baby rabbit, so thats one in the bag for the muppet, she went on to grab two more in nets

well, some are well established, proven crosses like the collie and bull crosses, you could go ahead and use an airedale over a greyhound and see what happens, i expect it would kill most anything but i am sure it would have downsides too, all crosses have downsides but the people that run them are rarely honest about these failings i run a proper mish mash, saluki x grey x deer x collie, with some whippet back in the line somewhere, if i am perfectly honest she aint all that, fast as hell and can stick with rabbits brilliantly, but she needs alot of practice on her strike, her catch ratio is

gay, what a waste.

cheers mate, some days she is really good at coming back, and others just not so good, depends how hyper she is!

i dont take tablets mate, i smoke MY medication. well there is were your problems lie have you tried lamping at night haha you fuuunny me go smoke now kk nothing wrong with a bit of good greeen smoke every now and then chap. nicer than a pint at the end of the day. good luck with your dog mate cheers

sounds kinda drastic, definately want her to run next to a made dog, and have a corker in mind, but he is miles away at the moment. the last time she ran with other dogs was with a mates beddy x and bull x she was fine with the beddy grey, but the bull x freaked her right out lol, she went off after one rabbit, and i was pleased to see her go for it, but then the big dog came up behind her and she heard him and sorta skittered sideways, like ''hey f*ck this i dont need the bunny, you have it big fella'' very funny to see but super pathetic from the beast.

thanks, surprisingly its good to hear im not alone, even though i know other people will have the same problems, its still nice to hear it lol.

totally agree, i have been close to losing it a bit with her, but so far i am keeping myself in check. i know theres no point and it will go against me in the end. tbh i am in a way kind of glad she is a bit of a test for me. its all experience!

i think its funny how people arent honest with each other on a hunting forum, it just isnt helpful in the end, to anyone, if you lie you will eventually be proven to be a liar and look like a to**er, i dont mind admitting that my dog that i love isnt very good at her job yet, and i am aware that faults in the dog are simply a reflection of faults in the owner. everyone is, but they generally wont admit it. sometimes even to themselves. the way i interact with my dog will alter over time until it suits us both just right. yeah i never get the time to go ferreting any more, (and my ferr

didnt know it existed lol

so i finally started the dog on the lamp, she is getting on age wise now, 18 months, has only caught one rabbit, and i helped a great deal, that was months ago and i was still ridiculously pleased that she had picked one up, but after that it went back to the same old, she will get behind them but not force any turns and just follows them up to the hedge where she then looks in for a moment and then comes back to me (unless she has just been released then she needs to run about a bit before she is atall obedient). but of course its all been daytime stuff, rabbits are always close to hedges, ha
