cheers blue one,should i only do this a few times at the start,she is showing signs of hunting about and she is mad to get at the rabbits i have to keep her on the leash when i go into a field that has rabbits as she want to get at them.
-
cheers mate,ferrets no nets it is then,do i keep her on the leash then and only let her have a look?
-
thanks fence hopper,was thinking of letting her pin a few down in the nets,would that be ok for a few mths,i know there is a chance that there will be the odd one escape the net,cheers......john dont see why not mate, but i'd avoid any hard running till the pups more developed easy to ruin a dog. cheers fence hopper,yeah i don't want to ruin her at this stage and she has done well,i have put to much work in her to f**k it up at this stage,cheers......john

Just try bathing the ear every so often, as its the same when we gets scabs we tend to pick at them an scratch them just to ease the itchin, the dogs doing the same, thats why its shakin its head probably tryin to stop the irritation. Just make sure there is nothin lodged in the ear. if it's yellow and crusty it's most likely an infection,i have 2 cockers,the spanials often get problems with their ears,with them in the water alot their ears get wet and because of the amount of hair and skin around the entrance to the ear,it gets nice and warm and damp in there,a perfect place for ear

Gettin my 8 month old pup to jump
jf1970 replied to Rain's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
i have been teaching my wee bitch to jump in the last week,i put a wooden bar across the entrance at the side of my house about 3 inches high well she is only 2 mths old,i let her do this 3 times a day while retreiving an old sock,for doing this i let her rag the sock for a few minutes when she is finished and then take it of her,the key i think is to be patient and don't over do the exercise,little and often,cheers......john -

thanks mate, she's turning into a cracking bitch. very brainy too! hi mate lovely wee cocker you have there does she yap alot when out bushing?i have a cocker also she is 2 years old and she yaps like feck when she sees the rabbit and chases it but never catches,i bought a 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy pup a few weeks ago to accompany her on the ferreting/ bushing trips.cheers......john
-
iam also a beginner,i would suggest getting the book LONGNETTING FROM PEG TO PEG by martin king,is it traditional or quickset you are planning on buying,either way this book will explain all,hope this helps cheers......john
-
lol thanks for that mate,cheers......john
-
thanks for the feedback lads,i also have 2 cockers and they showed no interest in the ferrets whatsoever,i suppose my main worry was going out ferreting next season and molly and the ferrets playing around instead of working ,my mind is at ease lol,cheers......john

hi all,i have been introducing my 8 week old 3/4 whippet 1/4 bedlington to the ferrets for the last week,she is starting to get a bit confident now,today she was running around playing with the ferrets,sometimes it looked like they were squaring up to each other,the ferret arching his back and jumping around mad and molly chasing him,the thing is should i just let them carry on and have some fun while keeping an eye on them or should i nip this behavour in the bud right away,all comments taken on board,cheers......john
-
the lamping ferreter,i think if you look back at some of the comments you will see that mc was actually telling me to go slow with my pup,she is 7 wks old not 20mths.cheers......john
