  1. PJ - Aye, that's the other advantage! Danny - cheers for the positive thinking I'm kinda guessing that will be the case, but you never know till you try! If she comes back over the hill to home, when she's done, that'd be a start.
  2. Sorry to hear about your bad luck mate, i hope it gets better from here on in!
  3. Yer that's the one issue with working her a long side the runners, i'm hoping that with the work put in early, holding her back from game for a good bit, and her being a bitch, and solo hound, she 'might' be biddable enough to use as a busher. However, she may well, just be a hound, and do what hounds do, i.e feck off over hill and dale, in which case i guess she will have to be used as a hound. Like i said, a bit of an experiment.
  4. Cheers Jay and Ray! She's got a nose on her already (not really surprising with the breed), has found every speck of edible stuff on the carpet! I'm sure she will be of some use, when she is grown. Hopefully she will have a bit of a wiry coat to her.
  5. Working beddlingtons thread from 2005. Been the longest standing thread for ages, followed by the music one in general.
  6. Cheers all Aye trotter, if it goes right, i will have a bushing dog that can hunt like feck, wont go to ground, will give tngue, and will catch as well. If it doesn't go so well, it will be a fecking nightmare, and instead of a bushing dog for the runners, it will give my old man some fun, with the shotgun (will send him off to join a gun pack somewhere, get him out the house haha) The whippet spent about ten mins looking at her, trying to decide if he should run away or eat her, then fecked off upstairs, and has only come down to go for a walk, then straight back up the stairs wi
  7. Digger. Met a pat called steve the other day, quite liked that.
  8. We will see mate, going to have to really keep on top of her. . . . .she could be a nightmare. If she doesnt work out for the one set of tasks, she will be used for others. It's a bit of an experiment, which might not work, we shall see. Forgot to mention her breeding, she basiclly a mixed small hound, 3/4 beagle, 1/8 teckle, 1/8 mixed hound (from chipper smiths stuff).
  9. I was looking at her earlier as she pulled apart a duck carcass She is changing shape again, thickening up quite a bit and getting a fair head on her. Gems still the 'show stopper' though, i believe her champion vetran status remains unbeaten
  10. What a poser! Gem looks fairly un-impressed!
  11. Ok, so not a lurcher, and perhaps in the wrong section (put her here as she will be working a longside the runners if it all goes to plan), but here's Gwen, the newest member of the team. Got her home today and she has settled in well, bold as brass, and responds well to me so far. Finally tired out and still enough to take a photo!
  12. Rabbit kits are born hairless and blind, whereas leverets are born with hair and able to see.
  13. There isn't an option to select multiple distances, in the first section, and many folk have permissions both near and far. Shortist distance i have is as far as you could throw a tenis ball, or less. Furthest is something like a 400 miles round trip.
  14. I seem to remember this from before, something about the ferret idea, but it not working under ground. What is the handset like, is it just direction and distance, or a visual thing? I have a feeling their units were very short range, and wouldnt work unless there was a line of sight, which makes it not much use for finding a dog in a forest.
  15. I own him, he's a little black b*****d.
  16. Very true mate, but Bam was / is fecking mental, haha. I will just have to wait and see i guess, but i have a feeling finn is going to feel a bit 'put out' to have a little tyke running about the place.
  17. Cheers for the advice, my worry is that the new pup is going to be very small, in comparison to the other dog in the house, and he has never had to deal with a pup that he couldnt physically boss around, without fear of damage (much). Not to worried about mess / noise, that's just part of it. Also the dog in the house is very much a 'one man' dog, and gets a bit funny about other dogs getting too much attention, so im going to have to watch him like a hawk.
  18. think he said 600 dollers from america with 2 collers Thats not too bad, with 2 collars. Can you find out what site, if possible mate?
  19. Cheers both. Trotter - seen those mate, not sure if they would do the job needed, also, difficult if you need to use it in the field.
  20. Cheers mate, i thought it might be the Garmin Astro, that's the new one. By all accounts, the most popular. Pretty pricey though!
  21. Any advise about introducing a new pup into the house hold?
  22. Simo - that would be good mate, cheers! Chart - Sorry, wasn't meant to be so cryptic. An example of their use would be, before the ban, running large quarry such as deer, with a dog in the daytime, in wooded, or very rough undulating ground, and the dog being led on a merry dance out of your sight, and then pulling down the quarry. Obviously it could not be retrieved, and if the dog returned you could lose the quarry. So a gps would be handy. Another example might be hunting up on big old rough moors or mountainsides, and putting a fox up, and the hunt, leading the dog waaaaay out of your
