  2. My father and grandfather kept greyhounds, whippets and ferrets. My grandfathers next door neighbour had lurchers, ferrets, chickens and a couple of terriers kicking around, always remember a salmon net strung out across the garden being repaired,so it was inevitable that i was gonna go down the hunting and fishing road, those two gardens between the animals, the veg and the array of fur and feather that was laid out in them over the years are still as clear in my head today as if it was yesterday. Now I have my own grandson of the age of 5 the whole circle is starting again and o wouldnt cha

  5. Hope thats her back on the mend for you, atb to the both of you
  6. You'd be better with a terrier and a twelve bore
  7. It's all fair and well stating what you want in an allrounder but how many on hear are actually capable in training a dog to the standard, by reading some of the posts put up there definently isn't many imo,
  8. No mate i didnt get a litter out of her, as i said It happened in her 3rd season and that would have have been her season to really start to prove herself, she was rehomed as pet and on medication till her demise due to her injury 5yrs ago
  9. she sounds good but to keep the theme going.....did you breed her?

  11. I had one of Hancocks about 15 year ago, a blue merle bitch, her sire was a dog called storming norman to a g/hound bitch, got her at 7wks she was jabbed she was well wormed and generally in good health. She was very tractable keen to please and soaked training up like a sponge, by the age of 19mths she was lamping, working with ferrets, starting to take feather,had killed a few daytime hares and had 3or 4 roe under her belt she stood 25 tts and was a really well shaped bitch. In her third season she was retrieving a daytime hare , she was about to jump the fence when she was mobbed by some y
  12. Used jeyes fluid on ferret courts and kennels for years and never had any ill effects
  13. Spot on Albert, you cant beat a bit of collie in the mix, far to many critics on here who have never seen a good collie cross work let alone own one
  14. I've witnessed a couple doing fox myself
  15. She told me if i ever bought her a present like that again she was gonna have my dogs put down, and there was me trying to be thoughtful
  16. Bought mine a sewing machine once, on opening it she broke down in tears saying I could shove it up my ar*e!!
  17. Limited stamina i have to agree, but horses for courses, I have a 3/4 gh 1/4 beardie bitch at the age of 9 she has had her fair share of daytimes mostly found by her own nose rose and killed in within a rather short distance thus enabling her to have had 3 for 3 in her way, as for feet I've seen bad feet in alot of crosses, for me who isn't really interested in Sharp toothed prey this bitch has excelled in the taking of all things edible including taking of feather regular, also a good bitch for finding and marking nests of ground nesting birds, a genuine allrounder imo, I did breed her with a
  18. You should find it very tractable, and eager to please especially if its the only one you've got, only advice I would give is to spend as much time as possible with it and bond properly, as far as I'm concerned its all about encouragement and never over match the pup, you only get out what you put in, its a good choice of breeding can't see you going wrong with it atb
  19. I've kept this kind of cross for years and for what I do I can't fault them mate, where did you purchase it from and is it beardie or border collie in the mix atb with it
  20. Mate I'm a joiner myself but I'm in scotland, I would have gladly done it for you, atb getting your doors done
  21. If your contemplating a change of career stay the f**k out of the building trade cause its down on its arse
  22. I'm the same they could shove there tablets wherever the f**k they wanted but not down my dogs throat, what a shower of ar**holes
  23. That's great news mate, wish your lad and yourselfs atb
  24. I start mine off as birddog says, a wing then a pair of wings attached to a dummy, from there I go to a dead bird, once the pup is confident carrying the carcass I move on to a few shot crows pigeons pheasant and the inevitable will happen you'll get a runner and then its all about encouragement, next step leave the air rifle get the pup in among a few and its all encouragement again, I've an old beardie greyhound who is a real dab hand at taking feather atb
