  1. Had 2 schoolies last week in the exe, any size to the ones out of the dart mate.
  2. Heard there's a few about mate, lost a gar when i was plugging for bass the other morn at exmouth, if there in the mackeral will be.
  3. Both my lurcher and terrier are in the house, and are pets as well as working dogs,but there are rules, they sleep in the back room, are not allowed on the furniture and never go upstairs, I would not allow them the run of the house.
  4. "I would not leave my young children alone with my dogs in a room no matter how much I think I could trust them it only takes one moment and you'll regret it the rest of your life." I totally agree with you're quote above mate - never ever leave them alone. Read a few months back about a greyhound suffocated a baby by lying on the sofa with it - f**k me, you'd never get over that eh? No chance mate I love my dogs but not even 1% as much as I love my kids.....they come first every time
  5. Hi mate paid 150 each for my current 2 dogs never paid more than that, bought them as pups and always have had pups, think i would struggle to bond with an older dog. atb
  6. Hi mate Are you getting this terrier just as a pet or do you plan to work it at all? From what I've seen most terriers like to work I think it makes them tick and they're happier, My mate keeps 4 terriers all inside 1 patt 1 jrt and a couple of bulls his kids learnt to walk holding on to the dogs they are rock solid around the kids and have done/do various types of work. I've got a jrt who's great with my little ones and is a good ratter and busher works with the ferrets and is happiest out working, they can still be house pets, good with kids and work. Likes been said though I would not
  7. some good photos there mate....... you hit photobucket hard
  8. Must be a nightmare out now with the ferrets mate, i know you gotta do it but must be a pain in the ass. lovely looking dogs though mate similar set up to mine Jack russel and 3/4 whip 1/4 beddy hopefully work well next year do a bit without the nets the jrt sat up in the cover and bolting for the lurcher. Also set gate nets out of the hedge terrier on top my lurcher one side and my brothers the other. I don't think I'd wanna go without the dogsthey make the day Can't wait for next season already
  9. I would'nt think any dog would be 90% wolf they've been dogs for thousands of years so not sure about any % of wolf to be honest. I think it's frustration I've seen dogs yap for the first couple of runs then once they've caught settle down and shut up. But I also think bad entering too early on hard runs won't help I've only let my pup have a couple of runs on the lamp on far out squatters and she's silent. She has opened up twice in the day when the terrier's put rabbits out ( with a load of yap) and she can't get to it, frustrated.
  10. Your probably right there mate, every night or day was like an adventure back then, maybe people forget the original feeling/buzz in their pursuit for the perfect dog, instead of still just enjoying being out there and doing it.................
  11. A greyhound/ collie x called susie that belonged to my oldest friend who sadly passed away recently, spent every weekend with him and susie ferreting and lamping from around 6 years old ( i too was chief rabbit carrier). She gave me the start and was a good dog she took everything but fox ( was'nt into anything we couldn't eat) I used to count the days down to fri night when he would pick me up with the dog in the van for a nights lamping, the next day out with the ferrets or fishing, and sunday the same, they were truly happy days
  12. The lad I go out with ( and get my ferrets from) has just had 2 litters. All his ferrets are worked and he has been breeding these for years. He's in North Devon I'm sure he'd come up the road a little bit if they were going to decent working homes. PM me if interested
  13. The pup and the stinkers in perfect harmony
  14.

  15. Thanks mate I'm pleased with her. I totaly agree with kittlerox breaking them to ferrets is the first thing you need to do, once thats done you can end up with a useful little companion for a days ferreting
  16. just turned 6, and im 67 years of age this very day Happy birthday mate and a nice looking bitch too
  17. My jack russel is a decent ferreting dog , marks, catches hole hoppers ( great when using long nets on hedges seems to be on them if they run the top of the hedge, real quick through cover), good anticipation of whats going on below ground( can't beat the ears cocked staring at hole stance) she's constantly working real busy dog. she was easy to break to ferrets and stock. Downsides..... hard mouthed ( the ferrets get the ones she 's caught), not quick enough out of cover ( although she normally puts enough pressure on them to put them back in pretty quick), a bit noisy as a marker snuffli
  18. Had mine out with the ferrets from a young age 4/5 months let her have a look on the lamp at end of the season around 8/9 months old. Only gave her the odd run and took her with a more experianced dog, she caught a couple on the lamp. But only allowed her a couple of runs, gonna work on walking her to heel ( don't want her to work constantly off a slip) and retrieve, her re-call is pretty good, so when next season comes she should be ready When you say hunting is it lamping, ferrets bushing? I suppose don't give her too much too soon but its hard not too when your as eager as your dog
  19. nice pics ossie and arch, cheers rocky
  20. Cheers Baz She done well end of the season had a couple on the lamp How's your's doing? ATB Kev
  21. Cheers Bill, Like I said yesterday mate I'm pleased with how's she's come on, got a bit of work to do on a couple of things but I enjoy being out with them so I'm sure it'll all come together. Can't wait for next season ,managed to pick up some nice permission this year so she'll get a a lot of running next year. I don't think she's as thick coated as yours ( judging by your last photo) she's around 20" now don't think she'll go a lot more what I expected anyway. Give us a shout if your ever down this way we'll get out for a run
  22. Thanks mate No nowt about around there mate, the terrier went into every bit of cover, but this areas well walked by loads of people. Just a walk out to tire the kids and the dogs out
  23. Every one of those pups look cracking mate, if you do breed again let me know I'm in Devon and would beat my missus into submission to get one of them
  24. Few pics of todays walk, there's some stunning views from the top of the tors, only downside is my jack russel loves rolling in all the horse sh*t.
