That's cheap, might be a lady boy.

What a great moment, forever captured in time.

It never gets any easier no matter how often it happens, look at it this way you both met and found each other when a 100,000s things could have resulted in a miss, you would be none the wiser, but she did you proud, consider your self as lucky, It's something that only people that have the passion for the sport understand, it's lost on town folk ,we speak a different language, and I'm glad I don't want to spend my time in the company of other humans that don't have a sex, just a lot of letters, after their name, the same people that wear their sisters snickers, and they often piss their siste

I bred this bitch out of two of my better runners, the dam is bird dog breeding that induces GSP, /vista, and a couple of others I cannot recall, by a whippet dog and the sire was a Greyhound x Beardy/ GWP. I would have like to keep one of the two that has this rich brown colour, but I decided to keep a ruff coated black and white dog. The lady who brought this bitch and kept her till she was about 8 months old, by then she had an unexpected baby. So very quickly she realized that she only had a limited amount as she worked as well, so she decided to rehome the dog asap while it was still youn

I love a good ferreting bitch.

I agree a lovely bitch with a ton of leg.

Yesterday I took the dogs to another local farm, the same one I had mentioned in the last report. On that visit across the road to another farm, I'd noticed that there was some rabbit sign, most was older sign, and then today I spotted one fresh scratching. I had to check all the heaps to make sure the bunny wasn't living in one, the dogs showed no interest, yet the hounds were picking up scent that took them out into the paddock, then down the hill to an area where the farmer had dug a pit and heaped up the valuable yellow gravel. There were several large holes where the digger had extractio

Cheers joe ox, all set out, and it explains it all.

None of the last 5 posts makes any sense to me, is it in code or man brothel small talk shared around the Gory hole?

I want to know what you sporting peeps think is going to happen, about dogs no longer allowed to catch the two types of mammals, rats and rabbits. Since I live thousands of miles away, I'm not up on the play. Let's start with Scotland, has the law been changed or are they only talking about it & do think Ireland and England will follow.

Holy bulls balls, that's a good size for only 7 & 1/2 months old. Plenty of leg as well, I have a soft spot for dogs that are brindle coloured and a ruff jacket too!

Wow, look at the neck on that young dog!!

The dogs chased a rabbit, that shot, under one of the two fishing huts. One hut is knackered after flood waters entered it several times in one year, this was the very one the rabbit was hiding under. After I slipped the ferret under the building, then after about five minutes the ferret had found the rabbit and began to hammer the rabbit at a place, where the dogs focused on the last photo, a tiny wee crack in the floor boards allowed the scent to be carried up towards the dogs. I managed to move some wood out of the area that then allowed me to kick a corner of iron off, just enough, after c

I had been working to remove all rabbits from the long river grass & edge due to the present new higher flood banks, where any digging could result in the banks to fail and flood the town where 570 people live. Since retiring, I've been doing some short term contacting, on farms that have reported rabbit damage, it's a couple of days a week so it suits me, and I've got a few younger dogs I wish to give more time in the field too. In the 2 km section, we removed 22 adults, but it's all short term relief as the bridge across water leads from land that doesn't have any rabbit control so you a

This is a breed that's just arrived here in NZ, looking forward to seeing them in the field.

None come easy mate, even if one comes to hand, it will die, yelling out to alert others. Each fur ball has a plan, be it A, B or c. Strange as it might seem if there is any type of cover the rabbit will use during the day, they like to keep their burrow, as a plan B, if there is no usual cover then yes they can be found hiding underground. If the dogs don't push them hard, they won't go to ground until you get the dogs to do so. Then at times they will duck into any available cover since they know they will not make it back home, not at least, in a straight run.Nomaly it's the bucks that will

I've had a special interest in hunting hounds for a number of years. I mainly use Beagles, but a couple of years ago I did include a foxhound in my pack. There is only the one breeder, of the Fox Hound breed in New Zealand and in the last 20 years I can't recall any pups offered for sale, so it's fair to say they are a rare breed. At one time I had six beagles in total but moved away from the breed when my best two remaining beagles suffered misadventures. During those days, I swore I'd never have another and if I did, I would not have more than two in total, if I ever decided to get back in

Yes, I have seen a number of Collie x labs, who have been trained to do a huge number of tasks, and they do them very well. Without doubt, all I have met have had an outstanding temperament. A couple that spring to mind were under my ownership & used within a pig dog pack. Scamp, was my lead or main dog. He had a very good tracking nose and would go some distance to find a pig, once he had it cornered or stopped he would stand-off and use his huge barrel bark to signal where he was. He was no hero & would bail a 30lb piglet all day long , but he had enough bite and balance to leave a

That's a common cross here in NZ, at times it's a lab x heading dog or with a hunt away. It's excepted by most that when the very first border collies arrived in NZ they were mated with labs as the landowners were looking for a big steady dog with a huge bark and can they bark it's huge in the deep tone and volume. The bigger types can be found on the north island, huge raw-boned things that are on the edge of real ugly. Most heading dogs seem to be a lot smarter as a hunt away, and come in 5 points white, that's all 4 legs, chest, tip of the tail, nose and collar, they can be tri colour with

I used to be offered a lot of unwanted dogs, almost all were dogs that had piss poor owners, who were happy to blame the breed or the dog. I made useful dogs out of some, others weren't cut out for a working life. I think I took them because I felt sorry for dogs, their owners had never given them the required time. For a number of years now I won't & don't take any period, any offers are met with a flat out NO! Anything less has them turning up a few days later, saying oh I was just passing and since I had fideo in the car I thought I'd just pop in and say hi. At the time, I wanted to br

Sorry, no I do not, and as far as I can find out there was some kind of underground network that managed to get hold of some off spring of wild boar from an animal park or zoo.I have seen photos of wild piglets offered for sale under that heading, showing the striped colouring, however I haven't seen the expected increase in size and weight of any wild pigs caught in NZ. All that leads me to think that perhaps these offerings are in fact watered down cross-breeds. I'm personally delighted we have your bush tailed possum or coon as we like to call them, they have provided many a great me

That day will never come, sir, they remain unweaned for life, Roll in hot, raid the food stocks, clean out the fridge and bolt, no contact unless they require a loan that never gets repaid, I should have cut my man sacks with a broken beer bottle years ago, and saved my pain.
