  1. I hate ferreting without a dog mate. They have all got their foibles, despite what the experts say lol. Keep at it with him and he'll come good. You'll be surprised how quickly he will learn, I'd maybe have him tied when you are netting up, but have him off when you are actually ferreting, have him by you, hand on his collar etc, and you can give him little commands as things are going. Stuff like "wait", "watch", etc. You'll be able to keep him steady. If you can get him marking holes, pushing rabbits to ground that are in cover and holding netted rabbits until you get there, all without kill
  2. Well done pup. One that the dog catches is worth 20 in the nets any day
  3. Looks a good do mate. The dog broke to ferrets? Will make a handy companion for holding those netted rabbits until you can get there. Priceless when you are ferreting a lone.
  4. Ok so a few of you know the score, I've been around shoots and game shooting all my life, and two seasons ago, I ended up getting a job keepering a syndicated / private shoot. Not huge, about 4000 birds. I've really enjoyed it and done quite well, raising the return percentages quite significantly and beating the shoot record etc. Now it's coming to the end of my second season. . . . and I'm not sure what to do. I absolutely hate my other job, which I try to go to as little as possible, and juggle with the keepering etc. But it's necessary as the keepering doesn't come with a house.
  5. Maybe it's an idea . . . . . This time next year Rodney. . . . .
  6. Shroom - I'll bear you in mind for a miracle. Lab - It's good cover I certainly get less hassle than I would if I was glad in full real tree, and had a skin head. . . . . . It's never caused me any problems thus far. I've not had a shave in 11 years
  7. RM - my clothes come in many various shades of . . . . . green. Mo - Perhaps. . . I think if I shaved off the beard, I'd look 12! Shroom - Cheques in the post!
  8. Folk like you would start an argument in an empty room. I said it was cuntish to hit a dog and leave it there, and if someone has removed the collar and tossed it, they have obviously seen the dog. Then you jumped in, spouting your mouth off about a gun dog that was run over somewhere? And then got angry, and seemingly a bit confused. I wasn't looking for an argument. So maybe, go make yourself a nice cup of tea. . . . .and calm down.
  9. Wow. . . . have we touched a nerve by any chance? You want to chill out mate, you'll do yourself a mischief. At the end of the day the dog was found dead, in bushes by road side, and the collar had been removed. So someone had seen the dog or hit the dog and left it. I'd like to think if I hit a dog, I'd make some effort to get the owners informed, probably by taking it to nearest vets to be scanned for a chip. I'm not entirely sure why I'm arguing with you. . . . . ? You seem to have anger issues.
  10. Youthful good looks lol. . . . .
  11. Because in general what makes you NOT a c**t, is trying to find out who the owner is. . . . . rather than hide the body and dump the collar. Sometimes folk hit dogs on the road. . . . it's very sad, but it happens. It's what you do afterwards that decides if you are a c**t or not. Does that explain it for you???
  12. Just thought i'd divert some flak from you BH. My scruffy mug has been on plenty, especially this time of year.
  13. There are some c**ts about mate. That's terrible, the owners must be gutted
  14. Just for the record, the slice is not actually across a pad. It's on one of the outer toes, between the front pad and rear one, if that makes sense, in the arch between? He's walking about on it and not holding it up, but he certainly doesn't want to run! I'm just keeping it clean with salt water and letting him lick it at the moment.
  15. I think you will find the old dear was describing a greyhound not a lurcher.
  16. Love anything a bit differen. If a whippet can kill a mink, your Beddy x should no bother!
  17. As Juliana Berners said waaaaay back in 1486. . . . A running dog should have. . . . "A head like a snake, A neck like a drake, A back like a beam, The sides of a bream, Be footed like a cat, And have a tail like a rat"
  18. Love the idea of seeing a good pure grey run. But after having a whippet. I'd have to say no thank you! It''d just be a bigger version of the dog I have now. . . . . with even MORE bits to break
  19. No mate, not at all. He came into my life at the age of 6/7, the mrs pet, who had caused much stress over the years disappearing to hunt and kill things. He fit right in here, and is a happy chappy now that he has a job, and has taken to it fairly well. He was apparently bred off a bitch from Sweden who was used for trials etc. But no, I think he's scared of the dark, or at least to old to start buggering about now
  20. Those are the first ones she's done, you can see improvement between the first whippet and the spaniel. I'm about as artistic as a brick, so it's impressed me lol.
  21. Something like foxer mcjin, he was owned by mike, probably still is.
  22. I've posted a few bits that my other half has drawn over the last month or so. Anyway, i've finally convinced her to do something with it. Have a little look at her stuff on facebook. Cheers, Jai. https://www.(!64.56:886/laurenporterart
  23. Patterdale x Russell mate. With some bull in the mix.
