Wait it out mate don’t feck about with breeders the incentive is money to breed better to wait it out for someone with a honest bitch that goes to a honest dog

I bred one redpoll mule about 4years ago that turned out to be a hen unfortunately using a silver redpoll cock to a intensive red hen when I was breeding reds for the show bench it was a accident mating id run out of space the redpoll hen had died so I put the cock in with the hen as I wanted the flight cage for young reds to moult out in my intention was to use the spare red hen has a feeder just incase so I let her sit on the eggs she layed I was in my old bird shed an was checking eggs for fertility was surprised to see 2 of the 3 of her eggs were full only one hatched the other dead in she

To breed pied mules most people use pea throat or chav British goldfinchs to yellow mosaics (old name dimorpics) or the like but a lot of people now to breed clear mules or pied use Siberian goldies. I’m hoping to try for some miniature mules this year English goldfinch to a white an blue variegated fife hen I’m hoping for some yellow feathered mules an some common blue drab mules

I think it’ll be bad my self I’m not normally one to push negatively or doom an gloom I’m normally a positive dude but I think it’d be a wise move to stock up on foods that are none perishable ie tined foods freeze bread/milk just incase of government advise to self containment being made compulsory if nothing comes of it no loss on foods ...most people take piss out of prepares but its starting to make sense now

Mixi always pops up it’s a case of when.everything is against the humble rabbit......be it John Wayne’s with guns blasting them year round then there’s ferreters ,lampers,seasonal moochers, birds of prey,foxes,badgers,vhd1&vhd2 they take a hammering year round any that have any form of immunity to mixi get wiped out along the way that’s why when mixi hits an nocks area’s for six because there’s no immunity and leaves little pockets here an there down the middle or south part of the uk I know some people in the past have put pictures up of rabbits that look like they’ve recovered from a bo

All good fella construction wise with no issues an seem to be working well for there owners with no complaints as I’ve asked for honesty off them about them they all seem very happy a few went to pet homes an competitive obedience homes a couple went to racing/show homes the ones in working homes are accounting for there selfs well I guess my pick out the 2 bitches in the second litter was a unlucky one but only had a choice of 2 only keeping bitches But I’m asking for more than just a rabbit dog if it was just a rabbit dog there’s no complaints on mowing rabbits down on the lamp or ferreting

That’s how it is sometimes mate I’m in the opinion That it’s all a lucky dip with dogs you can breed best to best theres no guarantee on nothing you think you’ve picked the best but the lucky dips the same on end result being lucky . Cheers mate she’s a looker ain’t she

Honesty is the only way mate with dogs if you can’t be honest with people about them you can’t be honest with your self in self grading them it becomes a lie that you have to remember what you’ve told people I always give them fair shout to prove there selfs an time to get there bearings together but if they ain’t got it they ain’t got it a lie will always get found out in the end. Cheers mate I think she’ll be spot on she’s well constructed for down here probably won’t be the fastest I’ve owned but should be just the ticket she’s nearly ready for a look in the next few weeks

I’ve been running this bitch she’s been going pretty good all season mowing rabbits down pretty regular no numbers or out but been pretty consistent. I’ve been getting them all back to hand but thats about all she has to offer is rabbits The offer of heat as been offered a good few times now under apprenticeship in my eyes she’s a coward an only a rabbit dog but may surprise me at a later date who knows in my eyes she’s not made the grade for what I expect in a lamp dog as both her parents were decent dogs an the bitch was bred by my self I think she’s poorly constructed her feet ain’t a lot o

Cheers d She’s pretty much half base blood so not amazingly fast but can get her wriggle on ??

My Bitches share but you can’t give them any on the bone meat or any treats to keep them occupied some times there scrap/dispute over spots to sleep tbh honest it’s not worth the risk even more so with dogs your asking for trouble especially if it’s powerful types or if one decides it wants to be Alfa to the old dog that won’t give in easy one of my mates had his younger male nearly killed a older male over nothing probably over sleeping spot luck he was home when it kicked off to Go and stop the scrap the he said the old dog would be dead else he said his young dog was intent on killing the o

How do you rate them mate I bought 2 off eBay for £18 each I’ve not put them up yet I was just thinking of getting the dogs off the ground of the kennel box thought I’d try them as a bit of a gamble should of asked on here first

What did the government expect would happen when they made certain quarry illegal with dogs all them years ago?? they took power away from farmers who could dictate who they had on there land that had decent lads take care of things that had things all in hand if a land owner permits permission now to run illegal stuff he’s liable as well as the people committing offence so with the ban in place they’ve created a illegal competitive gambling racket were the punishment is hard if your court hence why vehicles are used damage is caused because of competitiveness to get to game an cash is king

Bull grey x Sal grey mate I like him not my normal cuppa t as I favour the more traditional stuff normally but I like this dog

That’s it mooch all down to the horse for the course i mean your not going to go far wrong with a whippet beddy if your games a bit of ferreting an bushing about but a decent bred bedlington greyhound will do that an more with gears same as me mate I like the ready for anything type I bred out of 2decent dogs but didn’t get what I Was expecting ?? others that had pups off me got what I was expecting An they seem happy I got unlucky but I can’t slag my own dog off to much she’s better than I give her credit for she’ll ferret for me works the lamp bushes she’s live to hand works through stock an

Half x whippet bedlington to me don’t make no sence when a bedlington greyhound isn’t a big dog a f1 beddy whippet it’s not one nor the other but terrier whippet x f1 whippet greyhound or other larger sighthound makes sense but then again people have to start somewhere I don’t think I’d own a Little whippet x again I’d rather have a straight work bred whippet if I had to have a whippet size dog I’ve found in our country your to restricted with small dogs you got to have a medium/large type an be ready for anything no point in a small dog that has to run twice as hard to cover the same ground d

I’ve seen whiplingtons for £750 bloody crazy money it’s not doing the bedlington lurcher any favours but then again nor are the people that are breeding straight bedlingtons with there greed an breeding for names charging high price tags the only way types or breeds prosper in the working game is working homes at working mans prices to get them the work good workers go back in the shit gets discontinued but money changes the goal post

That would do my nut if I wanted a dog for mooching an running stuff but ended up having to take a shovel everywhere I went because the fecker was dropping to ground the idea of owning a running dog for running stuff an the thought of having to use my little arms to shift dirt don’t sound to appealing to me if it did I’d own a terrier id rather you than me

I’ve no plans on breeding out the white bitch at present as I’ll be over dogged Again but I do know the right bull cross if I do a mate of mine owns a good un I’ve seen run that I like a lot got a lot of time for this dog and his owner ??I’m sure his owner won’t mind me putting a pic up of his dog he’s a decent dude
