    a dog capable of doin that job would surely earn his crust that for sure, especially in places where the nets take a fair amount of rabbits, i think there are a few crosses tha could do the job, an after seeing the lab/collies i know them sorts of crosses are capable of a lot more than we think

    i was told years ago whilst i was young that the whippet aint suited to the collie, i dont know why, an i doubt its true, but its always stuck in my mind an to this day iv never seen a good 1, id like to see 1 tho, in theory they should be real nice dogs

    if i was gonna try what you are trying, i think id make a fake net for the the first couple attempts, summat that wont tangle around the dog as much as a longnet, you got me thinking noo
  7. reddawn
    is it the dog thats ill??? is it a bad pic or is there summat up way his eye?

    wish ye all the luck in the world, i like to think i try to bring the best out in my own lurchers, but theres no way on this earth i could get them to do it lol

    i thinkin more along the lines of getting a dog to search a field looking for a toy or summat similar, an even could have the dog stock broke to bunnys, i dont think it would be too hard to teach a collie or a similar breed a spaniel say, to sit an stay, thats not hard, an to search a field, paying no intrest to the bunnys but the bunnys dont know that lol but will it work lol

    buy the nets an spend ye spare time ferretin
  11. reddawn
    thats it aint it, would a dog be capable of knowing how to push the bunnys to the net??, or would a dog just searching the field for summat other than bunnys be a better option??

    i has family that lived there, never got to see a long net in action there, never even knew they existed back then, i musta been waist high to me uncles lol, i do have very good memorys of ferreting a lod of old banking, like an old railway or similar, them banking were awsome, they ceratinly held some bunnys, i can remember looking at 40 bunnys after a day out an thinking wow thatll feed whole family for weeks

    ive told you hancock 1st cross, my mate swears his is anti blood sport ye know mate, a pal of my cousins used to tag along an come bunnys bashing wae us on lamp, an he was always fetching a diffrent dog oot his menagerie everytime he appeared, he kept a few whippets an a few assorted lurchers, he does well at lurcher shows an racing, but anyways, after a few trips out this guy had brought summat like 4 diffrent whippets whith him an each was as bad as each other on lamp, an we wasnae really doing taxing land or educated bunnys either lol but to cut a ong story short, he appeard 1 nit

    i dont think id use such a dog for any other job, but saying that my dogs can tell a lot of diffrences so maybe we aint geeing dogs as much credit as they deserve.... but i deffo cant see the type of lurcher i use for lamping being able to master this trade, even tho they are pretty competent ferreters

    Border collie comes to mind. cant think of another dog that would do it. when we was kids a few family memebers had mongrels, or atleast thats what we called them, thay all come from same place, a keeper that lived in a wee place caled crieff? spelling? its in scotland anyways, well there was a keeper there who had black labs, an he bred them to a collie, an them pups were seriously smart, iv always thought about using a x like this, but seeing as i got collies to hand, would be silly not to try with them
  21. reddawn
    border collies seem to made for the job when you think about it, but thats on paper, what about in the field, an they aint lurchers either, so maybe some a the guys way things like 3/4 reverse collie lurchers can tell us how they think there dogs would cope with the given tasks.... to be honest if i could find a dog that could do this job, no matter of breed i think id have 1, i do enjoy netting solo, but i reckon it would be more attractive wth a tyke for company

    iv also toyed with the idea of trying to train a dog up for the task i as i have said elsewhere have used a lurcher now ana gain to clear crop fields whilst netting, but i dont think a lurcher could be trained to e a night time netting dog, or atleast not by me lol i have a few border collies close to hand that i could try it with, but i have just never got round to it, maybe day... lets make ths thread a bit more practicall, an lets hear what yous guys would/or do expect from a dog that works at night with long nets, not a days ferreting with long nets surley carnt be that diffic

    get a dog fetch it on, if it fails, kill it, if ye get out sport, kill it, if ye move home or have a kid an aint got time, kill it.... if it works keep it, hardly rocker science is it... ill never pass pups or dogs on to the kind of folks that are into dogs these days, sad but true...
