  1. The hardest thing to do is get the dog to sit quiet, any whine however small is bad, steady is everything, you have to raise them as quiet as you can, nothing worse than seeing the other half having a conversation with your pup,nothing causes whinging more than that, and being too excited, it's caused a few fall outs in my house, in the past.
  2. just better to get used to the trigger in my opinion, I don't notice it now,
  3. first year he was Heavy mouthed, he has got better each yr last year he was very good, as he has matured he's steadied down a lot,
  4. my cattle dog x would definitely blood scent , I have tinkered with it with him,now he has matured he would sit quiet with you waiting for deer, but as a young dog his prey drive was too strong, and he was very stubborn, I am not saying they are all like that but mine was, he is a different dog now,
  5. My dog is a cattle dog x and I love it, great little dog, intelligent hard working animal I would have another, not sure of the percentage blood wise, but was led to believe 50% cattle dog 50% racing whippet,
  6. If you ask a direct question normally some one will answer it, as regards hard working and charging people, the skills learned in the country side are skills, and if they make there living using them skills, then that's there business, because they didn't got to college and learn them, or get accreditation from some self professed professional, doesn't take away the hours of dedication in the field in all weathers, every body wants to be experts, but nobody wants the journey it takes to get there, why shouldn't people prize there particular skill sets, Sorry edited while I had chance just
  7. Brilliant, as I said worth the journey
  8. Low mill ranges in Cumbria have dealt in them for years and they seem popular there, search there website it might be of use,
  9. Can you image carting a few of them across the field, it's really good to see these old traps very interesting,and shows the skill of the local blacksmith's of the day,
  10. The b*****ds, good luck mate hope you get them back,
  11. My last lot had soft trigger plates, but as above catching ok,
  12. It's good when you get the hard ones, it's good to come across them now and again to keep you on your toes,
  13. Good to see,someone getting stuck into them,I thought we had a lot, I was wrong,
  14. Deker,is right most rimfires will out live there owners,rimfire 22 rifles are bomb proof, as regards centre fire, be careful make sure they haven't been shot out, a stalking rifle second hand isn't bad, so long as it's not too old,target rifles are a different matter some of them see thousands of rounds through them,and the throats are shot out,if you don't know it's history buy new, would be my advice.
  15. One of my ferrets is partial to the odd mole, the other is starting like them too but I don't give them mole very often,
  16. It's simple they lied about withholding information, broke the law, run rough shot over the family ,and destroyed a animal without the owners concent, prosecute the f*****g idiots, power pissed load of shite, too much power needs disbanding, how long do we have to suffer these idiots, I hope they screw them, and the vet that put the needle in,Jesus it proper boils ya piss, I feel for the family and the poor kids,I hope the neighbour who reported the cat feels real proud of them selves,
  17. Take your time put the basics in, don't spoil him and find a decent bloke, someone who concentrates on cockers, and speak to him, do not rush him,they are brilliant little dogs, if you have him trained, pick the right guy to do it,
  18. Bad Bad day for anyone, as you say no matter how many times you do it, it's like loosing a kid, I feel for your loss mate,
  19. I have done parsnip before it a good drink, good luck with it mate, hope it goes well,
  20. I wonder if it would benefit from grating the carrots, rather than slicing them,
