  1. Come on mate.....he's good for some banter and handy if you need sheep clearing out of a field!! Takes a good photo though
  2. Havnt posted much this season due to the runner taking a knock a couple of months back. His tendon on the right hand toe had come away and at one point it looked like it might have had to come off. Vet tried a few things and luckily with lots of rest and lead walks he has started to come good. Shame really as he was really getting there early on in the season and was doing really well. On the plus side it's given me some time to concentrate on the busher pup. Had a couple of walks out recently and they have started to come together as a team. Will have to save the lamping and ferreting fo
  3. Cracking looking dog. Sure she will be spot on for the job and something a bit different. Are you getting her officially qualified? NASDU etc?
  4. I have fed raw since my dogs were pups. I don't ever weigh out the portions. I prefer to just see what works, keep an eye on their condition and adjust from there. Each dog is different. Mine get a mix of rabbit,tripe, beef trim, lamb ribs, chicken carcass, mackerel, any off cuts. They also get any scraps. Depends what's in the freezer really. I just try and mix it up and vary it a bit. ATB
  5. Some on pets 4 homes. Mix of beardie/border. Bit pricey IMO but at least they are from working stock and look in good condition. ATB with your search.
  6. They will be 3 in June mate. My dog is doing well and he is doing everything I want. Next season will be the true time to tell. This season I have really stepped things up and he's been out a lot more lamping and ferreting. I also got myself a busher and it's brought him on no end.
  7. Remind me to never advertise for a stug dog on here if I ever need one!!
  8. Like to think it would be decent for that price ant. I prefer to feed whole though. I only mince stuff for young pups. Seen some decent second hand ones for sale. ATB
  9. I have a spaniel terrier and he's coming on fine. Have been out with spaniels that are spot on and go out regularly with a terrier which is cracking. I wouldn't be without a busher now. Bit of good advice I was given is find a worker to worker bred litter that is doing what you want. Doesn't really matter what X it is as long as they are doing the job you want. Think the rest is luck.
  10. what size has it made He's 13" ish at the moment. Struggling to measure him properly
  11. Doing ok so far. Great in cover and fairly steady when ferreting. 7 months. Spaniel terrier
  12. 1/4 collie 1/4 malinois Thanks Cracking mate. Would be interested to see how he turns out. ATB with him. Look forward to seeing how he progresses.
  13. Belter of a pup that. Really like the look of him. How much collie in him?
  14. I'm pretty busy up until the end of the season. Happy for you to come down over the summer and we sort something with you next season? Definitely best to let it warm up a bit.
  15. I have fished from 'closed cockpit' kayaks but only because I have been leading trips in them. They don't lend themselves to fishing unless you are confident. Sit on tops are the way forward.
  16. I'm up for that mate. Yep we are both near Exeter.
  17. Good news with the pup Ken. Fingers crossed that Tilly makes a decent recovery. ATB. Geth
  18. As Kev said before he had to throw the tope story at us again...... Depends on your ability, how far, fast you want to paddle. The longer/thinner kayaks will get you there faster, but tend to be more unstable and harder to turn if you need to turn quick. The shorter wider kayaks are stable and quick to turn but can be hard work if you have a fair paddle to a fishing spot. Worth renting one for an hour and trying them out. All kayaks will be pushed about by tide and wind. The longer ones will punch through easier. Inflatables sit high out of the water so wind is a bigger problem. If you a
  19. Doesn't take long at all. Equally important that the ferrets are steady around the dogs too.
  20. With just the bushers by the look of it!
