  1. Cheers t10, didn't the jrt give tongue when they were close behind the game, all mine are very vocal. I've heard a few mention that out of the working terriers that plummets are best if you don't want it going to ground all the time, which is a bonus to me.
  2. I haven't worked a big number of terriers, in fact I've always jrt's. I confess I'm no expert on terriers and certainly don't use them to their full potential, but I do require my terriers to be good at working and finding game, mainly rabbits in cover. It is obviously a bonus for my terriers not to go ground. Always fancied the looks of a plummer, but don't know a great deal about them other than they are supposed be mainly intended for rabbit and rat foremost. So just wondering being used to jrt's what are the advantages and disadvantages of the plummer terrier over other terriers. Any c
  3. Brilliant site if you like torches or flash lights as they call them.....everything you need to know about led torches, converting torches etc.
  4. Oh my lord, that set up would put most lamps to shame.
  5. Are you using 18650 batteries? If so are they protected? If not be very very careful because if you do not look after them they can go off like a pipe bomb.
  6. I love the tk41, but I'm not out all night like I used to be. If you like a nice tight beam check this one out....
  7. Shame colliecurs is not allowing anybody on at the moment, I have no sway on who they allow on etc, but I will mention it to them for you. No guarantees though.
  8. I always thought a collie/grey would be a great for some ones first lurcher, i know aIot of people disagree, but I think it's more down to the type of person who's bringing it on than the dog itself. Easiest dogs I've brought on have been collie x. As long as you give them exercise the rest is plain sailing.
  9. My bitch is about 24 inch, but nearly 11 now. Quite racey for a first cross, and she could shift when she was younger, very quick off the mark. She's a very fiery bitch with other dogs, not nasty just try's to put them in their place. Great type of robust dog. I think she would have been even better if I could have put more game in front of her, but she had a temperament that would get bored if not much was happening. Seems to be a trait that's found in some collies, where as some don't get so bored and will hunt for scent all day long. Personally I love collies and used to work pure ones to r
  10. At work we had a policy to keep all dogs caged separate...regardless....and there was a good reason for it.
  11. Whippets can and do, and yes you can't stop them, but personally it's not to my taste, too drawn out....fact.
  12. I had a cracking whippet years ago, game as they come, hunted none stop, would struggle when he came upon a preban hare, unless up and at it straight away. Anything other than rabbits, there are other dogs that are more capable than a whippet, but mine always put 100% no matter what.....and gave me loads of great memories.
  13. Jesus.......there's no stopping them. Want their bloody hands chopping off.
  14. Yep, just a preference thing....best worker I had was a dog.
  15. Wow 2 years old seems early. My little bitch is 15 months and still very much like a pup.
  16. Any will do the job, but I prefer bitches.....and I don't know why. I had 4 bitches until recently...... 2 jack Russell's and 2 lurchers, one of the terriers recently passed, but I have never had any problems at home or in the field. Also owned 3 males and one bitch together with no problems. I would go with a bitch. Any particular terrier tickling your fancy
  17. @ Bunnys... Don't quote me on this, as I may have got my facts slightly wrong, but I think that the line that Rufus was from was related to the line that the collie which Dave Sleight used for his early kelpie/collie crosses i.e. Gem and Purdey was from. If my facts are right then I believe they're related to the chocolate and white collie called Moss which Daergi wrote an article about in the Shooting News. Going back about 20 years I had a job interview in sheffield with a lady who owned several pet border collies, used to do agility with them, sleight used to use her collies to stud his bi
  18. Great pics. Are the cockers yours too, just I'm wondering how you would compare them to the plummer terriers as a mooching/bushing dogs for rabbits and finding scents when there's not much about. Cheers
  19. I've considered getting one for bushing, but I work bitches and I bet there quite hard to get hold of. Regarding the size, is there reason why we are seeing quite a few large ones and is anything been done to keep the size within a certain height? Thanks
  20. Sorry to hear pal, beautiful looking dog,this happened to my first dog many years ago.
