  1. A Days Ferreting Available

    in Ferreting

    Posted

    Alright lads.. I have a few permissions that I need to hit with the Ferrets as the Farmer has been on to me. I work away so don't keep ferrets hence the reason in offering some one a day out.

     

    I know plenty of lads with ferrets but most are flat out on their own permissions etc so any one fancies a day out drop me a PM.

     

    No idiots/chavs/wronguns bother messaging me, this is available to a decent person/persons only.

     

    North Yorkshire area

     

    You must have all the ferreting gear, ill take the runners and shotguns if needed

    I've never dealt with the man my self so can't comment. The sire and dam of my pups were bred by him years back but owned by some good lads who 1000% graft their dogs and that's all that matterd to me.

    As I've already said I've seen the bitch work and she excells at what she does working with the terriers around a hole. To add I've also been out with a young black dog which has Powells blood in it and that dog hasn't put a foot wrong all season it is turning into a very handy terrier.

    I'm just speaking as I find but the man must be doing something right wether he lies or not as all the dogs I've seen which have his blood all do the job.

    Cheers for the comments lads, they turned out exactly how I expected, racey but strong little dogs that can motor really looking forward to showing them a bit next season.

     

    Should easily be quick enough for rabbits matt, I have a little whippet lurcher bitch and these at 10 months can keep up with her and she can shift.

     

    Grompz,they are from a dog and a bitch bred direct from powell the grandmother being Powells Gem bitch ?

     

    Cheers Ginger Bread. They bust cover that hard coming back with a face full of claret is the norm so they have a few cuts and scrapes up to now lol

    For working cover they have to be seen to be believed mate, they are on par if not better than my terriers for working the cover, they will smash through anything and have keen noses for their age. They are bouncing off the walls at the minute I think once they start work they will settle down slightly.

    I've seen the dam to them work and she is some bitch with no reverse gear what so ever, but with that she's a steady dog who will also retrieve a rabbit to hand although this isn't what she is primarily used for.

    Fair play mate you got the result, bet that wasn't easy by your self

     

    Got 2 bitches on heat and a dog that loves em both, howling and not eating.

    Took him for a run this morning promised tobe home to take good lady out for lunch.

    He went to a single hole in sand right next to a pheasent pen. Hearing him ticking away I marked him at 1.6m as he moved forward it made 2.3m in about a 2foot distance.

    Couple of hours on my own, sorted it,the dog was going down hill to his game very sharpish then a rapid right turn. Proper struggle to climb out get the gun etc.

    Sitting here now, I'm chuffed although I cussed like a good un at the spot, " that's what Sundays are for"

  18. Barryvox Or Bellman

    in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

    Posted

    Lads in your personal experiences of those who have used the Bellman and Barryvox was the Barryvox noticeably me accurate than the Bellman?

    We seem to hit on the side of the dog most of the time using the Bellman, I see lads rate the Barryvox over the Bellman so I'm guessing it's more accurate?

     

    We had a discussion yesterday after digging to the side of the dog yet again and it prompted the question?

    After being at work for a few weeks i decided to visit a local permission which I hadn't been around for a while in my time off, the shooting of game birds was nearly finished so I thought I'd have a walk about.

    Whilst heading down the track I noticed the old boy pottering about on his honda big red. He gave me the wave and I stopped to await his greeting "where have you been" he said jokingly.. I explained that I had been busy with work, the mrs and baby etc.. the usual craic.

    On he went to tell me of a big dog fox he had seen kicking around and a vixen had been seen on the prowl as well, I could sense he was slightly nervy as he is due to lamb soon.

    With the terriers already in the back of the truck we said our farewells and off we went to the yard and parked up the truck. This farm in paticular isn't a huge place but has around 10 earth's in a small valley so easy enough to get around.

    Anyway I collard up my young dog and with the old bitch also on the couple we set off to see what was what.

    Whilst walking to the first place a small two holer I could see that it was not being used and looked dead, the terriers confirmed this and on to the next one we went. A rangey place but not excessively deep, the young black dog giving a strong mark at a large entrance with fresh signs of use by old raynard was all the indication I needed. After a second pondering about heading back to get nets i decided to enter the young dog as I had the shotgun should we get a bolt which is the norm from this place. After 5 mins i flicked the bellman on and the dog was moving and after getting a mark at 2.8 fo a few minutes I thought we may be getting the shovels out. At that minute I turned to tie up the old bitch after getting her self in a frenzy and in the blink of an eye out shoots the big dog fox with the terrier in tow. No shots fired and no nets set, a silly mistake and the fox was away to live another day.. or so he thought. The young black dog went well, marking and working this spot which isn't easy and doing his job getting the bolt.

    The next spot we checked was a one holer freshly kicked out and with the old bitch rearing to go giving a strong mark away she went, immediately heard her baying and sounded shallow. A quick flick of the bellman red brick had her at 1.0.. excellent a nice easy dig for a change! Got the bitch out and a nice healthy vixen dispatched with the gun.

    Both dogs worked well, an ideal hours walk about on my door step.

    On the way out we told the old farmer about the vixen and our mishap with the bolt, he asked me back up on the night and with the rifle the big dog fox that outsmarted us on the morning was flattend on the night thanks to my pals sharp shooting.

    Not one for shooting them but needs must and one very happy farmer ensures that I have many years of sport on the same farm. Atb wez

    I have never bred a litter of dogs in my life FD just for the record. I have however been around working breeds all my life and haven't yet felt the need to breed.

    If the time came when I needed a pup from a dog or bitch that had proven it's self and excelled at their job I may consider it, my circles are small and the lads who a hunt, shoot and work both terriers and lurchers with all have good stock so the only time I would breed would be if there was a demand and more importantly if I myself wanted a pup back to keep a line going.

    If I had a litter of say 6 pups from tested earth dogs and after sorting my close pals out with say four of the pups I would certainly offer the other two for sale, if the breedings right and from genuine stuff it could be the break any youngster or individual having a bad run with failed dogs need? That person may be a stranger so it's a risk you take, a small price to cover rearing costs etc wouldn't be an issue surely?
