  1. I don't think any type of dog really 'hates' foxes?
  2. Johnny - Aye mate, blood blisters and bruises for 3.5 fecking foot! That was horrible! Jamie - what are frosty mornings? Are they like unicorns and fairys???
  3. Cheers mate, I've had a few collie blooded lurchers and always liked them BUT I "like" this little bitch a lot , she's taken to the ferreting and general mooching real easily and showing good signs. . She's a fecking cat, not a dog, and despite annoying the shit out of me at times, she is a proper character and i think she's going to really make the grade. Either that, or you wil have the cleanest rabbits about
  4. Cheers for the invites cookie and vin, give us a shout and we will be there Always nice to meet up with folk
  5. Rake - ferreting hobo? That's rich, with your beard DE - With regard to long nets, never found them much use on that kind of hedge. Most of the bunnys run inside the hedge, and will either hole hop or run to the next set, so purse nets always work better. Anything that decides to run across the field (and hence into a long net), rarely makes it past the dogs. Weasel - I hate the fecking stands of wire running through them hedges, tripped me up a few times and had the dog cut himself open on them diving for bunnys. Skycat - i will ferret anywhere the bunnys are, no matter how tough
  6. They are pretty bad mate, ok when the frost has killed off most of the bramble and nettles as you can just walk about in them, but at this time of year its like a fortress. It's funny being in a hedge, that a man and dog can run about in. I hear you lads don't have hedges? i have maize permission that is surrounded by hedges full of rabbit, but then a couple of miles away a farm with just drystone walls or stock fences. pain in the arse around the railway they dont migrate away from it to hedges or cover and you cant get to them. im less "dales" than others i know who's permission i
  7. Sam - the black dog is a whippet, a good dog but a git at times. Caitlin is a good lass, 13 years old. You can throw her a net and she can lay it, and she caught bunnys in nets she layed today, so it's win win haha. Liam - Yep it was england or the 'foreign' land.

  9. Aye, i forgot how much i missed it mate The pup is great, full of beans, very confident, lots of drive, agile like a cat, looking forward to seeing her mature.
  10. I love that bit of land, fairly harsh place to run dogs, but great mooching spot, and eighteen is a very good score for there with no dogs
  11. Well, it's that time of year again! Had a few short walks out with the dogs and ferrets, but this weekend, we decided to try and get back to it properly. Up early doors, loaded three jills, and the dog into the car and picked up johnnyboy, his step daughter Caitlin and his old bitch and the pup. Headed off across the bridge, to meet up with a friend of ours off here, and try to make a start on one of his farms. We met up, and headed off, with it feeling anything but like a days ferreting should. Warm as feck! But it was good to be out with good company, we had a walk about, put up the
  12. Yep, we have the same problems, horrible fecking animals, when they become so numerous.

  14. The last dog, is a collie x greyhound (3/8 5/8), and probably the best ferreting dog i have seen. She is eight. The black dog is 100 % whippet (well, as 100% as any of the strong working whippets are), but i big, strong lad. He's two and a half and shaping into a good ferreting dog, although he works best 1:1, and is an excellent mooching dog. The other two are a collie/whippet/grey (blueish brindle) and a line bred collie/grey x collie/grey (etc) (red brindle). and can't forget the little dogs! Russel type terrier, great for covering holes in thick cover etc.
  15. Don't know about best, but they do for us.
  16. Call in mate if you fancy a night out on the lamp running a few easy northern rabbits lol. You'll be made welcome mate they turn like a bus obviously don't get out much around these parts if you think that mate. Run rabbits all over the country and the hardest are on parts of my permission "UP NORTH !!" if your ever up this way drop me a pm mate, i think you may have a different opinion after a night out here Cheers for the offer mate, much appreciated. Probably wont get a chanc this time as its up ferret, lamp, maybe ferret, home. But in the future i will take you up on th
  17. legend at pissing you lot of nobodys pissed off kid,,, I dunno mate, i'm fairly pissed off . . . the dog ate my biscuit.
  18. Around here, i don't think more than six. But then that would have been six out of eight. We don't have many rabbits, very few squatters, mostly it's long slips at hedge sitters, or ones running way off. Going 'oop north' in a couple of weeks so we shall see if it's true what they say? Seems like there are a lot of rabbits, but they still ran like good uns in the day.
