Vac him, win win situation.

Is there not a chemical secreted by their skin, which can cause problems?

Aye mate, i'm just bumping my gums, i know it's a figure of speech but glad you get me. Folk use 'game' about 4 month old pups, cos they are bold, it's just a bit misleading. But as long as the dog is keen and hard enough, what more could you want. Job done, as they say. LOoking forward to the weekend, if this moon fecks off.

Looking forward to it mate. I'm not knocking them, just think the word 'game' is meant for describing fighting dogs not hunting dogs, if ya get me? Like 'dead game' or 'game bred', 'game tested' etc. if this mans dog does what he says it does you will be surprisd what they can do I'm sorry mate, i think you are missing my point, i'm not doubting they can kill foxes or anything like that, i just don't think i would call that 'game', but rather tenacious or hard, as i think 'game' is a term reserved for fighting dogs. get me? Like i said, not doubting a beddy x can kill bigger game than

Out of interest, where does the beddy come from in these lines? Anyone know?

Will everyone who is chucking about the word 'game' go and look up it's origins and meanings when applied to a dog. Now i',m not knocking these dogs as i have never seen one work (hope to soon). But 'game' is not crashing a hedge, it is a term that came into use to describe fighting dogs, not hunting dogs. There is a difference between hard / tenacious / game.

That's you been told Johnnyboy! And lost about 22 years by the sounds of it. haha.

If you can find one from an actual working litter you would probably be better off . . . .

What about you and your dog? You could come on and give us a nice wee write up off the evening.... Lol Took him out, first rabbit and he ran into a sheep trough. . . haha. And on that note, how about some posts about your running dog/s??? But are you seriously unhappy about me taking the piss out of the three musketeers? take a chill pill ffs, just pulling yer leg. You'd think you'd have learned that by now mate.... Lol . . . . . . your normally funny though . . . . But on a serious note, the little f****r did run into a sheep trough. . . probably doesn't help that one

If they are doing it on your land - problem. If not - no problem.

Can you imagine Dances, Windy, Junior all out on a nights lamping. 2 more and they'd be like the famous five.

Sounds about right mate, although good luck in finding a decent line of working beddys. You ever thought of a beagle/russel or spaniel/russel something like that? Bit on the big side to go to ground, mostly, and work well?
-
Yeah she's exceeding expectations at the moment pal, high prey drive, good brain and very obedient....she seems to know what I want her to do, follows hand signals, walks to heel if I tell her to, and I only have to whisper go and she's off like a train. And if she's walking to heel and we see a rabbit running near a hedge and I tell her to wait, she does. But if I don't tell her to walk to heel she'll hunt up well. Perfect with cows and sheep, even cycling through a field of sheep that are running she'll stick by my side. Honestly, if you saw it you'd think I was a brilliant trainer of wo

In hindsight, I honestly think that's what I've done! what a friggin numpty, might go and give my hob an egg! Don't be too harsh on yourself matey, this time of year it happens a lot, and also happens for the first half an hour of any day with us, willing a rabbit down there, and if the dogs give a bit of interest, dragging them back and trying to get a mark, while they look at you as if to say 'fucks sake mate, you know what a mark looks like, give it a rest you desperate b*****d'. My old man always says, trust your animals, they know better than you.
-
At this time of year the rabbits seem reluctant to go to ground and often we start thinking there is something in a set where the dogs start showing interest in a hedge or cover patch with a set in it, but then the dogs will not mark any actual hole, and it can only be assumed that the bunny has either recently left, run over the top of the set or been holding in the cover recently. That's why we always look for the head down the hole, big sniff, kind of mark. It's easy at this time of year to wish a rabbit down there, and interpret a vague interest as a mark. haha. Having said that someti
-
Only thing you can do is when you get a mark with the dog, try the hob and if he don't go in try the jill, as you said, that way you will know. But if there is nowt in, my ferrets will go down a tiny way, turn and come out, you can't make them go down for love nor money. At best, if it's fresh scent they might run through and straight out, but that's not that likely. Out of interest how was the dog marking, just at the hole / set in general or head down a hole, pulling lungs of air in? Sometimes ferrets do take a little bit to get back into it, but usually don't take long, espe

I heard something a while back and this brings it to mind.... "99% of terrorists are muslim but 99% of muslims arn't terrorists" It's "not all muslims are terrorists but 99% of terrorists are muslim!" And that statistic is also highly questionable. Should read 99% of the terrorists that are paraded on our t.v channels are muslims. . . . haha.

So it "just jacked"? Fair enough. No offence mate, but you are hard work. lol. thats why no one likes him i couldnt care less,and as for being hard work,the hard work is trying to get it in to your skull that "rabbit" dogs jack. As much as fox and deer dogs? Cos that was my only point in the first place lol.
-
I'd say these days the number of 'fox dogs' getting bred is getting up there mate haha. What is 'the grade'? When it comes to bunnies? As long as you are bagging up, surely that's what counts, rather than a dog that will put 110% into something it won't catch? But i do agree on the last bit mate, you are probably right, if the hardest of standards was put across all dogs than we would have a lot more 'jackers', that's par for the course. I also think the internet has led to a lot more dogs being labelled as jackers. As mentioned before though, so folk want to go out, have good
