  1. plenty of foxes a bout here not more than usual tho there has always been loads , plenty roe and magpies more than ive ever seen in my lifetime , but a lot less rabbits and hares , was speaking to the local head keeper at the start of the season and he said they dont shoot the hares and havent for a few years just not enough about !
  2. petplan, its expensive but they pay the vets direct. and yes they do seem to put price up for insurance claims, not right really but what can you do? i know they have you by the bollocks !
  3. glad you dogs ok , in my experience if you are making an insurance claim to pay the vets bill rather than pay cash the price seems to double or even triple ive known friends take there dogs to the vets for two identicle operations and the price has been vastly different the only difference is one was a cash sale the other was an insurance claim anyone else noticed this ?
  4. put it on the scales and see what it realy weighs and chin the butcher about it if its under weight
  5. not seen any yet there still in velvet but ive seen a few carrying decent sized antler
  6. i had alomst the exact opposite with one of my dogs when i was out on my own he ran ok but nothing special but when there was strange dogs he was out of this world never showed me up nobody ever saw his bad side but me !!!
  7. better to be safe than sorry i always watch my dog to see if hes limping after a run and give him a good look over when i get home its a risky game lamping
  8. no set pattern just they grow most before 6 months after that age its just a couple of inches although there is always the exception to the rule , there is some cracking 17 -18 tts rabbiting dogs out there i wouldnt worry too much about its height , when its old enough just get it out and show it plenty work and im sure it will turn out fine
  9. possible , its a bit of a hit or a miss with lurchers so many x in them i wouldnt think she will be that far away from 21 tts
  10. my pup was 12 inches at 8 weeks and he is now 24tts at 7 months and still growing !
  11. ive had one the very same stole everything he could , he was fine when you were watching but the moment you turned your back it was gone , keep everything out of reach of him and when i went out make sure the kitchen door is shut properly if i made one mistake and left it open i would come home to a ransacked kitchen fridge door open and empty the lot , he never changed his whole life no matter what i done it must of been worth the telling of for the food i just learned to live with it and keep everything locked up or out his reach
  12. What a tosser some folk have no shame ! Get round there and give him a good hard kick in the bollocks !
  13. in the winter when there are no kits about the price always goes up seen it up to £30-£40 each but in the summer you can usualy get them for free if you look about
  14. all my dog have been house trained, and stayed in the kennel so i could do what i liked in or out anyone can call me soft for letting them in the house im not bothered Thats the way i want it
  15. heard about useing the animals brain to tann the hide but never knew how it was done now i know thanks
  16. fur side to the board skin side out to the air to let it dry
  17. my old dog died in the summer there aged 17 watched him get slower and slower every day maybe should of got him put down but just couldnt do it , last day was terrible had him booked in the vets to get pts but he never made it died on the living room floor , was totaly gutted even tho i knew it was coming and it was prob for the best , for 17 years he went everywhere with me if you seen me my dog was never far away , on a brighter note ive got a new dog hes 7 months old now and cant wait to get him out lamping
  18. pin the skin out on a board somewhere dry and warm for a few days and it will dry out and keep the shape that you have pinned it in
  19. There are far to many rules and laws already made by the minority of people telling everyone else what to do , if an year old women wants to get herself a pup for company them that is what she should be able to do we dont have the right to stop her nor should we !!!
