Spot on mate, i'll have a look into local soup kitchens! It also helps promote a positive view of field sports.
-
Let her grab a few in the nets ferreting, and play fetch the dead rabbit. She'll soon think of nothing else but grabbing hold of one!

Top range PCP air rifle or silenced shotgun - which would you buy if you had choice?
-
All good points - which is more versatile do you think? Will be used daytime and on lamp. Would be a 20 bore i think.
-
I'd vouch for the shotgun....best of both worlds where you can take static shots and moving targets.
-
That was my thinking and both will be capable out to 35-40 yards.

No i'm actually not buddy. Look at that black dog and yes it COULD have anything, but its a 21 / 22 very strongly built whippet, black with a white chest slash, white socks and pricked ears and look the double of about 100 dogs that have come down from those lines including my own. Also as far more working whippets in this country have blood from mikes dogs in them than dont, its a good bet isn't it. So why clutching at straws? Just cos i mentioned mb?

If it comes back when called and will hunt and retrieve then certainly for your own rough shooting no probs. Also obviosuly needs to be gun broken. Might not go down too well on a driven shoot mind - just cos it can scare up birds dont make it a gun dog and we try to discourage folk bringing their terriers to our shoot, as they tend to cause problems.

Used Kubota and Polaris on the shoot, both good.
-
Also seesm this year they got started at a lot earlier. Some places still have a lot - was reading someone shot 500 + from one farm in a night. But yer shooters are knocking them right down - come to an area that hasn't got a huge pop do 'pest control' (shot as many as they can for a pic) and then f**k off elsewhere to pay another farmer. . . but in some places there are more folk with dogs than folk without, hunting ban made it a craze.

Just ferret the f****r. -
cheers, the batterys in the locator and finder we,re fine, she was stuck in quite a large area, not my ferret, i went out with them this morning to help find her why did they not dig her out then if my ferrets need dug out then il dig them out no matter how deep the dig is id stay all nite if i have to Why don't you read the post properly He said it wasn't his ferret AND they couldn't pick up the signal off the collar.........if you can't find a signal where do you start digging then? Exactly - we wouldn't have got a signal for that second collar the other day if it hadn't been l

alright mate i havent got a clue of there lines. i got them off a couple in essex they had the dam there when i got them ,she was working so was the sire but never saw him . ive done some ferreting with them and there both coming on well , seen the lamp a few times the black 1 seems more keen on the lamp at the moment but both doing well I'd say (looking at the stamp of them) that they def have laguna breeding in them and at some point an ancester has come from Mike Browns Kennels up in North Wales. They are a credit to you mate, and look very fit. What height and weight are they? And
-
Not one reason, but always a combination. Hunting has increased, more raptors, more badgers, diseases. Since the ban lampers have gone through the roof!

No point if its hammering down but if there is no snow falling but snow on the ground its good. Quarry stands out like a sore thumb! You can track them anywhere and if its been about for a while they will congregate around feeding points - i.e Rabbits round the Haylige bails, Squirrals on the Bird Feeders (Hoppers) and Pigeons landing on any bit of crop/stubble poking over the snow. Found crow shooting particularly sucessful as they all seem to be congregating on top of the haylige/hay/silage out for the cattle. Beautiful landscape to be out in anyway, just remember if your wear your camo you

You could always try fishing for them in season and letting them breed matey, might give you a decent population. This time of year you want to be fishing for Grayling - some sport there!

Alright butt, i am in work, got a wee girl sat the other side of this computer screen telling me how her dads a c**t. :-)
-
Alright matey, i know that they are whippets and VERY nice ones at that. Have a similar look to my 9 month pup, so i was just wondering where they came from and what their breeding (i.e what lines, what sire/dam, grabdsire/dam etc etc etc). You done much with them?
-
Very nice dogs mate. What breeding are they and what age?
-
your right mate,its not the dog shes great,couldn't be happier ,its me,but last few days she has really impressed me at her young age,15 week,sits stays every thing... Don't worry mate there is plenty more twists and turns to come. You wait till she's 5-6 month and entering her teenage faze and starts to really get her legs under her. All good times tho and now you feel the bond you just got to spend evry spare hour you got with her mooching about and letting her absorb shit and learn. She's turning into a looker matey.
-
How old is she?
-
btw she's grown matey and looking good!

I really liked my current pup from the day i got him but we still didnt click, it was all sound but there was something missing, no conviction in our relationship on his part. Then one day we just clicked and now he doesnt look at anyone else, watches me, his obediance has improved and hes a pleasure to own. I think often people forget that dogs are intelligent living animals and just cos you picked it and bought it and have ideas for it, doesnt mean it has a f*****g clue or agrees. . . . .

I have a mixture of hobs and jills. I know that there seems to have been a trend over the last few years toward breeding smaller and smaller ferrets - i don't understand why? I suppose the idea is to get less kills but small ferrets seem to kill to so not sure if it works. To me it seems silly - same as using a terrier that is very small and light, they get knocked about and find it difficult to stand heavy work at a high rate. The jills that i use are all of a medium size with one being fairly large. They weigh about 700-850 grams. I find they can work all day and everyday and to be honest i

[BANNED TEXT] does a lurcher need 2 be the best lamping dog

AYe - there are most certainly fair numbers living in some areas - i think Brimmer used to trap a few and said the pop was growing and they were inhabiting rabbit warrens.

You jammy git, couldn't work out better could it?
