Thanks Folks

[First Trip Of Season]

It was a toss up between fishing on the kayak or ferreting today the ferrets hadn't been out since last season and Mathew had been harassing me for a couple of weeks so ferreting it was.

Not a bad day weather wise, not too warm, a few half grown still kicking about but done not bad with twenty decent sized in the bag, good to be out again, cheers

[Collie Brains]

it bothers me that anyone who reads that article is going to be put off getting a collie x for there first dog,

 

imo a 3/4 bred collie x is ideal for a beginner/ easy to train, you certainly shouldn,t need to give its human equivelant prozac lol,

 

I get the impression he's not the type who can appreciate the finer qualitys of a collie infused mutt, seems to me its all about whats in the bag and not the hunt itself ?

[Collie Brains]

If your collie x is too slow to catch fookall or is a jacker you can always find other uses,

nothing more silly than a man chasing after his own hat

 

 

[Castle Curs]

Thanks for the comments lads

 

Strongbow > lurcher to lurcher basicly, collie/ sal/ grey/ bull/ whippet all in the mix

[Collie Brains]

some good points about tractability etc lads, I think if we were only adding collie for brains alone we wouldn't bother lol, its the other stuff they bring, the general toughness can't be under estimated

 

ps Weasle > I like saying CUR

[Collie Brains]

Coat, stamina, feet, general toughness

 

I do get your point though about turning etc,

 

I'll give you a typical day out ferreting though with the whippet and the collie cur, the collie curs concentration/ predicting round the holes is hard to beat and she gets a good number of the bunnys before the whippet gets a chance

 

the whippet mops up the bunnys that get past her

 

so I suppose what I'm trying to say is it all evens out when ferreting

 

too much collie doing other work and you're at a disadvantage

 

dog for the job, horses for courses etc etc

I like the fisr photo twice!

The ruins always amaze me as they stand there still so proud on the top of the hill! Lucky you having so much in Scotland!
