  1. cracking pics & well done dogs -billy
  2. white feet I think you jumped in at the deep end because from what im reading the lad has put a lot of effort into his animal and it was a genuine reason to move dog on -life sometimes kicks you in the nuts & you have to do things you didn't want to do that 1st post was well over the top and an apology would nt be out of place -billy
  3. only had gun dogs 5-6 yrs but my little cocker [1st] gun dog was my favourite rip jazz
  4. I have a springer pup here at moment who started howling when I took older dog beating -few buckets of cold water soon sorted that out -or you could have a nice big marrow bone handy & throw that to it and it should occupy it enough to settle it down one on one would be my solution to other probs with more assertiveness-billy
  5. im sure he will too stroller -billy
  6. sparrows or "spuggies" as there known in north east [Newcastle] are becoming very rare these days -when I was a lad -lol- the local cemetery had large hawthorn bushes that had 20 tree sparrow nests in each one now I hardly see any birds let alone nests -on a brighter note my bird box on side of house produces 2-3 broods of house sparrows each year
  7. looks like stitch or two mate -but i have had dogs that healed without [took longer though]
  8. good shooting gay lad & a cracking shot with the knife ! lol -fraped??? yeh yeh its easier to just "come out" and get on with life we wont piss take you [fxck it ! we will]
  9. 7 months is probably her testing stage mate but can you not use stop whistle when she takes off then recall with maybe a retrieve as a reward & lots of fuss .if that doesn't work try walking fields where no one else goes until she gets the message with your whistle commands -im sure its nothing serious mate keep at the training & it will come together -billy
  10. this happens a hell of a lot these days lads and its bad crack that owners of out of control dogs don't give a toss I have springers now and always being set upon by dalmations staffies etc its ignorance on the owners behalf wish I had my collies and my 1st crosses from days past would be different story if anything went to attack them -even though they were totally dog friendly they wouldn't take no shit from other dogs
  11. don't agree -so doing all my beating on small shoots free of charge
  12. hitting the guy is probably the WORST thing you could have done I think your in a spot of bother mate
  13. if any one is interested in this pup give me a pm - 12 weeks old broken coated the lad thought they would sell easily but has one left [little cracker] north east England
  14. think you got your answer mate -go for it -billy
  15. why would it ruin him ? as long as you got stop whistle command & leave it /dead command should be ok or it might run in on whatever the lurcher catches and tug ov war will commence which is a no -no in my eyes which would then probably result in hard mouth over possessive etc-thats my take on it any ways but other lads might have a different view on it -billy
  16. my keeper mate has one and is pleased with his [only 11 months ] but nothing seems to bother it its busy like spaniel but points as well
  17. my brother helped build them and said there not up to much for the money out lay
  18. just do it for free it will PAY off in the end mate as you will get recommended to ferret other land and to me that's payment enough
  19. look up vets in a place called Stanhope [wear dale] might get lucky mate
  20. thought the pups scratching was down to bedding -then food -now I suspect "ring worm" which is a fungus based thing is there anything I can get from local chemists that would be safe to use on 15 week pup? would a dusting of thornit help ?-billy
  21. ftm
