    For sale due to a family berevement a beautiful 7 month old collie cross bitch. I am selling her for my friends wife as she is unable to look after her. My friend bought her just before he passed away so she has had no real training, I am unsure what she is crossed with, she is a very lively pup and has an excellent temprament and i am sure given the right training she will make a good working dog. Any sensible offers only please. Thanks.

  15. Anyone ever tried this?

    There's a strip of land on the edge of a farmers field where I walk the dog and if I go there either first or last thing there' loads of rabbits sitting on the edge of it and they all bolt into the cover as soon as you get within about 20 or 30 meters of them. The cover is about 20 meters thick and then their warren is on the other side of the cover.

     

    It's possible to go to the warren without spooking the rabbits on the other side of the cover. It'd be a bit risky to ferret it as it's a public walkway and even though you very rarely see anyone there it's only a stones throw away from the gamekeepers cottage. What I was thinking of doing is setting purse nets over the holes and then going back round the undergrowth and getting the dog to chase them into the nets, so the nets would be catching them as they go back into the warren rather than coming out.

     

    Has anyone tried this? and did it work? I can't see why it wouldn't as long as the nets are anchored properly.

    get your self a long net mate it will be easyer mate

  20. pegs

    Bamboo plant labels are a cheapish decent peg. Most my nets are on hazel pegs, I make them really nice with the palm ends rounded off smooth and cut a groove to tie the draw cord to rather than a hole. They take a while to make of you have 50 odd to do and I will just replace them with bamboo from now. I have brought a few different ferreting pegs and none nice quality. Any peg will do the job just some more comfortably that others. I make mine about 4" long which seems shorter than most but they do the job. They struggle in proper sand but I would rather that that carry around the carry around the fecking great big things a lot seem to have. If you worked alot of sand I would make them 5-6".
