    Aye and also what kind of ground

    Yes mate, it's a bit sham of them. Get the lad you keep back vac'd and that'll be another handy thing come spring time Don't see the problem with working hobs anyhow? Good luck with them, i'm sure you will find homes, even if its during the season when everyone and their brother wants a ferret to work.....right now!

    No worries. I have also heard folk say that. I feed mine a couple of handfuls of dry usually with raw mixed in, either chicken, lamb, beef, sardines, tuna, venison, rabbit, pheasant, whatever. Also get big marrow bones as an addition. Sometimes it's just dry, sometimes just raw. Doesn't seem to cause much problem here, and the same for the numerous folk i have spoken to who use the meal as a base and then add their raw. I do it because i am lazy, and just meat and bones isn't enough for them. I do get free meat from the butcher though, as much off cuts, carcass and bone as i can carry

    Whippets are a lot of fun, hearts like lions, noses like a bloodhound. However would not be first choice for a lamp dog. They come into their own in the daytime though Especially ferreting and bushing

    Is that about mixing raw and dry? Doesn't seem to be a problem for everyone i know. P.S i'm feeling a bit let down, as i thought there was going to be some witty 'Bear' related pun

    Aye mate, i keep two hobs here along with the jills. Plain fact is, nearly everyone who knocks using hobs, and says they only use jils because of this, that and the other reason, have never worked hobs, or not much anyhow. Horses for courses, i like to have different ferrets with different working styles, for different jobs.
  7. Ideation
    I think that is also a reason. But i think i'm right in what i say, rather than it being my opinion. Anyway, i was saying cockers had better noses than labs Springers and cockers used to be born to the same litters after all. More springers than cockers end up in the drug squad etc, your right, but that's mainly due to their popularity in general, and the fact that a lot of them end up in rescues (thats where they take a lot from). My old man used to provide some springers for the police etc.

    Aye, happy Birthday matey!

    Don't know why more folk don't work hobs? I know they are a bit bigger, but they work well. Think for a lot it's because they have been told to get jills. Hope you get rid of them mate. I think a lot of hobs end up knocked on the head which is just sad.

    Lab - Sorry mate, in this one you lose. Cockers are scientificly proven to have the best scenting abilities of the gun dog breeds. It's why they are the 1st choice of dog for drugs units etc. Only problem for cockers here is sending them far out into the really thick stuff for them to get a dropped bird, takes a lot to drag a big cock back through and over all that shit.

    A useful post if the man happens to own a time machine! How old is the kit mate? If you don't have any game in the freezer, i'd get yourself a bag of decent dried ferret food to tide you over. Its handy in the summer as it does not attract flies or go bad as quick. Suppliment this with some chicken wings, lambs heart or whatever cheap meat you can get. If you can get hold of whole carcasses, i.e rabbits, birds etc, chop them into pieces and freeze them, and give the kit a piece as regular as you can. Over summer put meat in at night and take out the remains in the morn to minimize flies et

    It's do-able it's just mostly grim. Gardens and shit is alright, but crawling about woodland up to your eyes in nettles is just shit. Depends on the ground.
  13. Ideation
    Aye, is that what you feed trespassers and tax men to?
  14. Ideation
    Lamp, cat and a barn full of mice/rats.

    u shouldnt Ireland mate.

    a stag hound is the same as a fox hound,but peolpe call deerhoundxs staghounds they are to different breeds of dogs. Ummmmm yes, but as this thread is in the lurcher section and has a picture of what is being referred to hear as a 'stag hound' at the top, i think it's a safe bet he doesnt mean the dogs you speak of. But the long hybridized greyhound / scottish greyhound (deerhound) lurchers used in the states to run down all manner of game, with different blood added as needed.

    I would take mine with me, but he's no fan of the wee boat

    Oh....sore one.. Well i'm ruffer than a big bag of ruff things so sitting by the river waiting for a bite sounds good to me..... Aye mate it was a 'bad yin' as they say. Got a better bond with the mutt now though. I'm feeling a bit rough myself. Gonna row the wee boat out in the rain, anchor up and see what a can find. Might take a hip flask with me My old man just got back and he had three nice fish in an hour or so, so could be a good one.

    Dogs mate, they drive you to despair sometimes. This one hit a piece of metal recently while flat out, sliced everything away inside his back leg, from high on the upper leg, down to the ankle. When i carried him off the mountain, you could see the bone from below the groin all the way down, to the ankle, including the knee joint, tendons and ligaments, also took a chunk out of the muscle. Was fairly sure he was destined for a hole i the garden. But here he is now bouncing about like a twat. Had him off the lead out in the woods last couple of days for the first time in ages. Feels very good.

    Thats what you get for letting it in the house................ I know mate, wee fecker is in the house coming back from the last accident he had! At 15 months, he's had more than twice the number of stitches he's had months on the planet, and has been knocked out and taken to the vets to be put back together twice. He's not clumsy so much as mental. I'm leaving him in the house now tho, he seems to have taken his gaurd dog role to heart. And it frees up kennel space for the next episode. . . . .

    Good on you mate, i'd love to know how your ma took it? Mines a fecking nightmare for shit like that. The other day he managed to get his leg stuck in the handle on the front of the oven Just pure retarded.

    A stag hound is basiclly a shaggy (not always) greyhound bred down from the dogs that went over from britain a long long time ago. Like a grey hound, but with much much much better feet and stamina.

    On average spinning is probably going to catch you more fish with less skill needed, but when you get the fly right you'll catch them quicker on the fly. At least thats my view.

    Yes mate, that'd be hardwork. They are good enough though for mincing up some chopped rabbit etc to feed the kits. You can sometimes pick up big electric ones cheap second hand, they are the daddy!
