    ive always used collars. i dont like leaving dead rabbits in a warren. if i have to dig so be it. i would dig anything to get a ferret back.

    a upset woman came to our allotment the other day. asking could someone rehome her birds a cock and hen.as the neighbours were complaining. my dad is a soft touch with birds so he took them. they are 21 weeks old.in lovely condition. when i went to look at them .they are black tailed japanese bantams. they are here to stay as my dad has taken a shine to them. anything you can tell me about the breed or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

    a easy way i found was to put the collar on when they were having a drink of (goats) milk. then just let them run round for a while with it on. after a while they accept it no bother and just handle them as much as you can.

    all i know is his first litter he was mated to a border collie. the pups are a year old they went to people who take part in kennel club agility some went to be trained as search and rescue dogs.i dont know how many litters he has sired to greyhounds.

    nice whippets you have .what lines are yours from if you dont mind me asking.

    dont worry about it.one of the best dogs i have ever seen work would not pick up as a young dog. he came good in time. your pup is what it is a young pup. it is just lacking the confidence to put in a strike. it will happen just be patient. good luck with your pup.

    working on a construction site 27 years ago. i was 20 at the time,one bloke started talking about his lurchers catching rabbits hares with them. turned out we only lived a few miles apart. asked could i come to see the dogs work. went out every weekend in season for 2 years before i got my first pup. then progressed from there.

    i suppose a lot of people would like to own the ultimate killing machine but how many exist?who would sell one and at what price. how many dogs added up to the total of 2 grand.if i owned one and i never have i certainly wouldnt sell it.

    a bedlington whippet will work cover flush mark catch rabbits. make a good vermin dog. the ones ive seen had decent temperaments. i own a bedlington terrier will do all of the above apart from catch rabbits on the run. temperament wise he is a quiet dog great with people kids and other dogs. i much prefer lurchers but terriers can make handy little rabbiting dogs bushing marking etc. good luck with your search.
