    I can just imagine me taking the wife and the waiter asking if id like a napkin,id ask for the biggest napkin they had,then tell him to cover the blimp with it.

    Again i stated less humidity than he had is set at.Another thing few take into consideration is the environment they place their incubator in,a room with a fluctuating temperature,because of sunlight,a radiator,a draught etc,may cause the incubator to work in a less productive manner.The only thing that makes the chick develop in the egg is the ambient temperature,the humidity level plays a lesser part,important certainly.

    Less than the humidity he had the eggs at.If incubation is to be done scientifically then a chart needs to be adhered to,weight gain over the incubation period directly attributed to the humidity levels,its a complicated process than most folk with an incubator never need to adhere to,often a water source in the incubator and the same humidity at the onset and finish will still hatch the majority of eggs.The easiest way is to have the same humidity over the course of the eggs hatching cycle until the final 48hrs,then stop turning the eggs and increase the humidity slightly,thats all thats need

    Its strange that certain mutts,that we nurture,educate and enter,hold no hold on us throughout their hunting lives,we view them as part and parcel of our "tools of work",nothing more and nothing less.Then along comes the odd jukel that holds an influence on us that others never could,we nurture,educate and enter them along the same lines as any other,yet they pull at our emotions and stand above all others.It may be the little extra they try for you,the cheeky impudence that others don,t have,the hunting traits that come natural to them that others have to be trained to,or their reluctance to

    Don,t be stupid with the price of ready mix.

    An awful lot of growing lurchers reach a stage where they seem to throw a deaf ear to their owner and behave in a manner that they did not a week earlier.Its part and parcel of the mutts learning curve,bend the rules a tad to assist them through these emotional times.As the mutt grows out of its puppy frame into a more adult body it becomes a confusing time.The last litter i had here the bitch i had little regard for,for month after month,i knew she would grow through it,when she did ive never connected with a dog so well,geez it was a fecking trial at times though.The dog id have shot at 11 m

    Don,t turn the eggs the last 48hrs and have less humidity.Its also of paramount importance that the incubator is sterilised before use and the eggs are washed with a suitable cleansing agent,a build up of harmful bacteria often kills developing embryo,s and to much humidity drowns them.

    I don,t hold my mutts back,ever,i totally agree that the bushing pack members often distinguish betwixt prey species and hunt and react accordingly,then still smash in.id not feed anything that did not hunt according to its prey etc.etc.etc..I own bushers to suit lurchers,i own lurchers that are suited to the vested interest of the bushers.I don,t see the point in owning a bushing jukel without a gun or a lurcher on point,i don,t see the point in owning a lurcher that fails to adapt to the service of a bushing terrier.My mutts smash all and sundry,be that a scraggy conie,a pest species or anyt

    They had no weak points,possibly apart from the fact that they failed to survive from the impact of a 10 tonne bus.Killed Hares on piecework,rabbits with the easiest of ease,venison with more aptitude than most and fox better than the majority of bull bred dross,yes id have another,especially if i sourced one honest enough to deserve the service of another bred the same way.Id have another bred the same way or nothing,id rather do without than hunt with anything else,fact.

    Its naive to release anything into a failed release environment,its non conductive to the host species.The animal rights brigade,especially the RSPCA,don,t have a fecking clue and cause more suffering and death with their ill advised release programmes,than even the naive hunter wishing to protect his or her hunting practice.The reason the land we hunt does not hold the quarry we wish to hunt is obvious to the quarry that do not frequent it.

    You really are unbelievable dumb to come on the Internet and admit that! people like you damaging terrier work more than you think! Well done f***ing idiot hey moron im in ireland where its all still legal.....we dont have gamekeepers an shooting estates so i cant comment on that... i have a pack of hounds an used to do alot of terrier work but not any more.... for me its about having respect for ur quarry... i dont think these heroes putting up pictures of lines of dead cubs is doing the hunting image any good I'll eat my humble pie and apologize! Sorry I thought you were on about

    Id not air my life on an open forum.I still wish you all the best mucker and will guarantee, no matter what,them fecking youngsters will make you a proud father,id say good luck but you will never need it,ill guarantee them youngsters will give you more love and satisfaction than we deserve at times,all the best mucker,we all need insulting at times to keep it relative.Do what you have to do and if it means venting your anger on here,fair play,just don,t take the fecking urine out of Bedlingtons .

    Good man,well said mucker.

    If predated they are eaten,dead nestlings are often discarded by their parents.

    for mange use neat, for fleas tics and that just water it down so it will pass through a spray bottle. just remember it does not kill instantly, it paralysis them and they starve to death. Ive tried it neat and some mutts suffer under its useage,i dilute it now with the same effect and have never had a dog suffer from a diluted dose

    Cremating Dogs

    morton replied to tb25's topic in General Talk

    I'm with you on this. If there is a vet available they are doing it. Im not for one minute knocking you mucker,but the folk that commit themselves to their mutts last moment on this earth often have a better respect for their charge than another that would rather seek an easier way out.Again im not having a knock and respect anybody that has the dogs interest at heart,yet a last walk on ground a dog and owner have bonded on is the hardest walk id wish on anybody.

    I expect the bushers and the lurchers to "pile in",the ones that don,t id not feed for long.Id not stop a bushing pack from wrecking their quarry,it would be like offering them water with a lid on the bowl.Anything they chase and wreck is par for the cause,especially pest species,anything i salvage in time goes in the pot or freezer.When a team become accustomed to the other members its common for the pack to relinquish certain quarry to a dominant lurcher,or else,the team become accustomed to such and react accordingly at the catch,other times and other catches they "pile in" ,anything reluct

    The first Whippet i owned cost 50p in todays money,ten bob in the day,mullered bunny,the odd Hare,i think her running serenade put the odd Hare off and they quit rather than be serenaded,she had an uncanny knack on water hen,ive never had a dog since that caught one.Many years later when visiting a Whippet race meet in Barnsley a mucker picked up a 22" Whippet that outgrew its class,that made a more than useful hunting jukel and killed many an Hare,with vocality.A while later these Greyhound infused sprinters gained popularity and kennel names and the dollar chasers sprinted faster than their

    Ill also guarantee you will never enter the circle,square or triangle perhaps.What's that meant to mean Morton ? The vast majority of the lads that earn or have earned respect won,t be on here,the sensible souls on here are saturated by fecking nuggets,egos and chancers.The only way to earn respect is to hunt respectively,breed with the same ambition and keep respectful company,or company you can educate to respect.Id like to state with honest endeavour that honest lurcher and terrier folk are above the petty malingering that this site thrives on,the facts are that there are some awkward tw

    Kick the soppy twat and throw it into a patch of spring nettles,OR,realise nettles sting and some terriers become habituated to the fact and hunt accordingly,the rest walk around the nettles and are less useful.
