liked watching him a tough fighter. but his age inactivity and past problems are a lot of things to deal with.
-
how old is he now?

only seen 1 ex track bred bitch run. she could certainly catch a hare on big open fields. dont want to put a downer on things but she only lasted 1 season killed in a bad accident at the back of a hare. hope you have good luck with yours.

i ave owned some good little bolters. also a few that i was digging to regular. 1 jill in particular. she could bolt them fine but always had to be dug to also. if i dig to a ferret my own choice is that i like a ferret to stay with its kill so i can locate it and the rabbit. i value both types.you cant guarantee what ferrets are going to turn out like.1 litter i bred some made good bolters some seemed the type to be dug to regular. these were all jills given to a few people i know.in shallow burrows i dont mind. if it is a known deep place for my area. the jill mentioned would not be used. p

had 2 collie/lurcher x saluki lurchers. trained quite easy but were in general quite sensitive. both made good rabbit dogs /day night and decent hare dogs thats all they were run on. my best bitch ever was from this breeding.

the only sign of quality of egg declining in my experience with hybrids has been age.
-
dont worry. seen a dog started at 14 months previous owner had done nothing with it. it ended up a decent worker. just take your time.
-
not what i would call a good ferreting dog but a very good marking dog. never let me down yet.
-
im no expert but good advice taking the dog to occupied warrens. i can only use a terrier on my permission and he was a natural marker from a young age. some dogs mark early . some take a bit of time. just keep putting the dog in the above situations good luck.

Not really and not great.
-
great pics and scenery. apart from the obvious does the land have any hares on. whats the rabbit population like?
-
joking apart bolted 1 from a 2 hole run through a couple of seasons ago.
-
only have hybrids and pure breeds. from chicks chick crumb. then onto growers pellets. then layers pellets. give them a scratch feed in the afternoon mixed corn. use mixed grit etc .also have a plot any left overs from that. add acv in their water. add cod liver oil in their feed in winter. to yellow up the yolks small amount of split maize with adult birds. allow acess to grass. before breeding feed on breeders pellets. plenty clean fresh water. atb.
