    thanks tyla , sadly its not really an option we only really did any farms etc in the last year or two really when i was old enough to drive and his conections were all west wales way and id be buggered to try and find them after all these years lol

     

    there is a golf course we often visited will try there but that will about it i think , every where from there on will have to be new ground and work hard for some permisions , ive started asking around friends last few days tho if any of them now anyone with land who they could put a word in for me .

     

    i see what you mean guys about the older dogs , bets to stick with young dogs and pups and bring them on myself then

    Yea no rush guys , hoping to get some ferrets and up and running after Xmas. The dog thing is just an interest at the mo , but if I the passion really does return then I think a lurcher would deft be on the cards , have always fancied a little lamping 2, but long way to go yet need to get some permissions first , and the ferreting alone was always plenty enough excitement for me in the past lol

     

    Thanks for offer mike may take you up on that one day .

    Would I be right in think a collie x be a little smarter?

    In general are young dogs just starting to work often offered for sale ? Or generally mostly pups on the Market ?

    Living in port Talbot mate do you ever come down this neck of the woods?

     

    To be honest I don't think I'll have much trouble introducing the ferrets to the dog, I think I will prob struggle with her lack of aggression , maybe I should get a toy rabbit and start getting her to rag it, and see if I can get some reall rabbits to feed her and get her on the sent ? Will have a look thro the search tab tonight if there any tips on training , I'm not holding to much hope tho like I said she's a wimp lol never now maybe I'll get my self a lurcher if I get right back into it

    Hi all as you can see this is my first post so be gentle with me lol,

    When I was younger I vary much enjoyed ferreting with a friend and kept ferrets and worked them for years thro comp and up until I was about 19 , I'm now 25 with my own familly and have been thinking about taking it all up again but haven't been ferreting for about 6 to 7 years.

     

    I still have my old nets and ferret box over my mams house , and have a decent place in the garden I can keep the ferrets with a little work

     

    So I will need to get some materials to house the ferrets, the ferrets them selves and few bit , finder, shovel , bags etc none of this will be a problem.

     

    The problem I have is that my close mate who i used to go out working with was alot older than me and had been doing it for a vary long time , and it was him who had the permission on the few bits of land we used to visit , and sadly he is no longer with us passed away 4 years ago , so as I can see the only places I can go to start would be a vary limited amount of common land , I now that I will have to start trying to get some permission and totally intend to once I'm up and running , but if there is any one in south Wales who would be willing for me to tag along or point me in the right direction I would be vary much thankfully

     

    Also I have a 3. Year old airdale terrier bitch that has never been worked is a pet and is a bit of wimp lol, is there even the remotest chance that I could teach her to work at all? She is a vary obedient dog.

     

    Any other tips or advice given will be vary helpfull

     

    Thanks

     

    Thanks
