Two bob dogs? Hundreds of pound dogs?
darbo replied to Red Collar's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
best little bitch i ever owned saluki lurcher x collie lurcher cost £60.00 in 1995 from bala north wales. only used her on rabbits/hares but she did the job great for me. -
rubbish ferrets can get ear mites. it does affect the balance as they move down the ear canal.i have had ferrets with ear mites that had these symptoms. what i am saying is take it to the vets to rule ear mites out.
-
take it to the vet he will tell you 100 per cent if it is ear mites. it is no good guessing.
-
take it to the vets as soon as possible. the vet will tell you after examining it if it has ear mites. they can be treated with drops . if left too long a ferret can die from them.
-
could have ear mites. are there black specks down its ears.if so that is dried blood.if left to long the mites move down the ear canal and their balance is affected.

just seen the article about the stolen dogs in the local paper skelmersdale advertiser. the family look devastated. really hope they have luck getting the dogs back.
-
dont listen to idiots. put time and effort into your dog ,good luck.
-
good to see. well on the way to being a good steady dog around stock.
-
no seen it opposite way round softmouth turn hard mouth.dogs which were tired at the end of a nite start to kill the rabbits instead of bringing a struggling rabbit to hand. seen live to hand reteivers on rabbits turn hardmouthed on hares.seen dogs that were naturaly hard mouthed and stayed that way all there lives.its a first for me to hear of hardmouthed turning softmouthed.but if its soft mouthed on rabbits now surely thats a bonus.

get a copy of purdeys progress dvd by d. sleight.
-
lovely stuff.
-
fingers crossed mate.
-
a well bred whippet/grey will do the job you reguire on small fields. just enquire who is breeding good stock these days good luck.
-
whippet/greyhound seen some crackers over the years. great early pace turn on a sixpence seen some with a excellent strike. good little dogs for small fields.
-
good luck keep on trying. in my experience dogs with a large percentage of collie in them can be jealous dogs reluctant to retrieve with other dogs present.
-
had collie lurchers for over 20 years.all the ones i had were very reluctant to retreive when other dogs were present but great on their own.i just moved well out of the way of my lamping partener and his dog. over time decreased the distance took time but got there in the end.but as i say they were all reluctant to retreive when other dogs were present. good luck im sure you will get there.
-
nothing like a pups first catch good luck.
-
any more pics mate.
-
thanks i heard he used chuckles on one of his bitches but was not sure.
-

ive had collie crosses the best dog i have owned was a saluki lurcher x collie lurcher only 23inch but a 100 per cent tryer.only took rabbbits and hares with her.she had speed stamina and could turn on a sixpence. a very litttle determined bitch.
-
i am sure many people would like a dog which marks without putting its head down a hole paw up etc. i owned a saluki lurcher which marked like that.my present dog a beddie puts his head down the hole and he stays there till i net up.he has not let me down yet. as long as your dog marks true and does not false mark be happy with it.no one will own the perfect dog someone will always find fault with it.get out there enjoy yourself work the dog.

a bit of st.helens humour eh son. i lived in st.helens for 40 years.
-
thankfully shes now got a good home. hope she works well for you.
-
why a black ferret etc leepieman.
