  1. Yes i like the Kopov, i used to live in the High Tatras, in a place called Zdair, which is not so far from the Polish Border, on the Zakopane to Poprad route. Lots of game in those parts. We had two Kopov types called Nero and Ajax. I wish i had photos.
  2. Well bud.In my book an untrained dog is an actsident waiting to happen.What more can i say. Totally agree! But would you consider a dog you can not call off any chase when you want untrained? Never.The two dogs i could call off had to be done just as they started to go.When the dogs off it,s off and know one can call it back. Are right, i thought thats what you were saying, like that Big Zook tit, and i thought you were mental Yer if the dogs by your leg you can over ride the situation, but once the dogs gone and running it'd be an impressive thing (or a sad one) to s

  5. Sorry, what i meant was, it's situational, at least i think so. So the rabbit was in a garage, in a pen, didnt really run away, or act like a rabbit, and the chickens are in a garden, if the deer were penned by the house then he would break to them with exposure etc, but i don't think (yet) that i or he have mastered making him steady to wild game that we don't wish to pursue. Maybe because the occasion does not arrive, but at this age his prey drive (or maybe my bad training?) is stronger than his desire to heed what i'm saying. I could 'shout' him off legitimate game that got up maybe, but n
  6. Maybe introduce a drop/release command at some point. She looks a cracker tho.
  7. I'm confused what you are asking. You say should a rabbiting lurcher be steady to other game, i.e broken to deer, fox, hare, birds and just hunt rabbit. But then you talk about stock training/breaking. Two different things i think. My dog will wander through the chickens in the garden, but peg pheasants with relish, is ferret broken but i think would kill a mink, lives to catch rabbits, but didnt have much interest in my mums pet rabbit. If you let a pet rabbit go in the woods, or a brown chicken burst out of a hedge. . . . . he'd probably grab them.
  8. Maybe they will moan a lot then run away?
  9. Bull Grey from the carpark is GROOOOWING!

  10. Don't mind the dickhead. I'm sure plenty will fill it in. Nice pics by the way, i like the hounds!
  11. Whilst on the topic his website is full of interesting articles on terriers etc. http://redhunta.webs.com/index.htm
  12. The former book comes out this may.
  13. It is the same man. Wrote Bedlingtons in the field and working Bedlingtons. Got long hair and a beard
  14. Ferret? I just use a rodinator. And it's a wife-beater, you posh puff
  15. Depends what you are hunting. There are official seasons for game. For rabbits (classed as pests) and other pests there is no official season, but most pack it in when stuff starts to breed heavily, due to a whole host of reasons, including the preservation of their quarry stock. Some however need to continue for various reasons (pest control etc), or just don't give a f**k.
  16. Aye i'm pretty jammy as well, manage to have 4 full days a week out with the ferrets and dogs dawn till dusk, and then the other three days i might only get a couple of hours out, but on those days i travel a total of say 2-3 mins to get on the land. Need to do it flat out during the season in order to cover the land in the six months we get. Now we are over run with little uns from end of feb, i think i need to find some northern ferreting to occupy march/start of april. I wouldn't mind being a scot, i spent some happy years there. And aye the season has been good, but your right our
  17. Why not get something thats got a use?
  18. f*****g right matey Do you want a fight? Meet you at the border? Your a lucky bstard up there, if its like this next year ou might find me camping on your drive from end of feb till april!
  19. am afraid to tell you were all mogrels cross breds , Nice history lesson but not strictly true. The first recoded use of the term 'celt' is from 517 BC. Also the notion that 'most britons had become romanized' due to the prescence of roman invaders/settlers is also a fantasy. The lives of most of the average rural dwelling populace would have changed little, during and after roman reign. But yer, nice to see someone interested in history. I'd also seriously contend the idea that half the world thinks we own the world and want to be like us. These days we are a bit of a joke, or just
  20. Just because they are breeding where you are, doesn't mean they are breeding near him, or maybe he wants to keep permission and ferrets till it just isn't possible anymore. Rabbits are the master of survival, you will NEVER be able to wipe out the rabbits, maybe thin them but never get rid of totally! Joe uhhhh. . .. i think he meant what he said, lighten up. Where its pest control its a good thing to hit the does late season as they are pairing up to breed. As for NEVER wiping them out. . . . . . .not true. . . . there is ALWAYS a way.
  21. Had the same on a mates farm, dog that had always run with the tractors, totally knew the score, was running in front and then must have hit a scent and for some reason just stopped stock still and went straight under the wheels. Yer it might not go wrong, but if it does and you run over your dog, what kind of dick will you feel like? If the dog aint chasing cars/motor bikes then its A LOT less likely to go under one!
  22. She said she'd tried to find out who's it was, she'd phoned vets and dog warden I think. If someone had nicked it from another area and then dumped it though it wouldn't necessarily be registered in this area. Fair play I think its really cool that an old lady would pick up a lurcher off the street and take it in!
