    He has a lot of pace he can be explosive the shock is he comes back and he's not knackered, I think his only main problem is inexperience he hasn't grasped when to use his acceleration so he overshoots, sometimes or he will go out slow rabbit gets up he sets off and overtakes the rabbit his pace really is good he just needs to adjust it at the right time and that as far as I can tell this is down to inexperience at 91/2 month I am really not worried, he hasn't run loads openly, he is getting the hang of ferreting though, which is why I got him,

    Its facinating to think that a whole industry of supply and demand, grew around the rat pits of old and controlling rats was a way of life for people back then,what happened,we still have a need to control rats probably as much as ever,people even made there own baits,and traps of all discriptions,a multitude of different dog breeds were crossed for speed and agility,It was massive and a crying shame most of this is now lost,I might try and find a few old books and read up on some of the old methods,its as diverse a subject as poaching itself,

    Dad used to have bean tins,sown in the opening of the stocking,and force the end into the hole, he said you could hear them entering the stocking, with black stockings they wouldnt bite cos it was dark, him and grandad washed their hands in meths or parrafin before hand, they had some big days on them back then,they kept two sets of ferrets the smaller more agrresive /fast ones for rats, the medium sized for rabbits,and really large ferrets for under sheds/buildings or klinker sets on rabbits or rats,he used to speak fondly of them days,he always had a good terrier,people like that are missin

    The other dogs he just wants to play,he then hits moments of clarity starts to work and uses his nose, when this happens he really is spot on,with the gun he slinks off,then returns with me he is alot better and I will admit shows more signs when the owner is around or involved with the training,if the right comand given at the right moment when he starts to slink, you can stop it happening let him sit for a moment or two, and he sets off like nothings happend at worst slightly edgy more often than not no effect,he partners my short haired pointer well,I think that is because he is a mature wo

    I had it beat into me Rifle or air rifle BACKSTOP, BACKSTOP, or no shot, shot guns, sky behind, or ground behind,not hedges and twigs or fog banks,the subject of falling bullets or shot is best avoided,how many people have stood close to a clay shoot, or been hit by falling shot on a pheasant shoot,dont care about the miths its not to be done,first thing I was taught with rifle, never in the air, and I have seen falling shot on a pheasant shoot bring blood,granted only a minor thing, but still shouldnt happen,I recon that report is doggy too,firstly if it was a traditional wagon they have the

    My farther allways said, it has the skill but not the will, thats a performance issue, but dont judge it till its fully mature,as confidence helps builds will, and will helps build skill,there were times when he didnt make alot of sence to anyone,but his expierience was top drawer,in my view and he never had a bad dog for long,

    The trouble with crimping to a brass bullet is getting each bullet crimped with the same pressure, what is very important is the distance from the lands, OAL gauge exact size and back em off a couple of mill, if you crimp em do it very gently, to keep pressure consistent I had a lot of problems with 100 grn in my 243 what twist rate is the barrel, for roe I used to use 85 grn soft point superb groups 100 grn I have tried in 3 different guns to no avail wouldn't stablize em saying that some people prefer em
