  1. bad situation. Knock the little sods out and drag them out I say there is going to be no nice way of coming out
  2. That is true I got a 26 inch 30kg muscle bound do or die merchant his perfect for my ground yea ok I should have got a spaniel
  3. Sounds like the poor diver made a mistake though delivering air bottles but tried to return when he was low him self poor sod
  4. Could they not anesthetize them one by one stick there head in a breather and hoik them out ?
  5. Funny you should say Ray mine won't crap in the yard he will hold it so long he gets in a right state and refuses to go. Pain in the arse to be honest espeacially for him lol
  6. Our lurcher is in but next will be kept out. I think you can avoid few bad habits and his tending to get bit clingy with every one. Flying to the door when the wife comes home that sort of thing. Just little things that bug me. Plus his crated if we all go any where so you got to worry about how long you go. At least out doors in a run you can leave for the day
  7. you could try a double knot version of what Tiercil is using in his video ? Soon get rhythm going
  8. nope Just don't call the dog when you know it won't come back which sounds a bit daft because that will be when you want the bugger back. But to start just form the habit of all ways coming back. So practice in the house on a lead throw in a treat or two. But what helped me most was using the same command for a turn about on a long line. So two peeps and I spun about and he soon learned to spin around or the line tugged him. Plus it meant we were heading off in a dif direction which he liked and I deliberately headed some where interesting. After a while i used it as the recall as well
  9. Get the stock training sorted or your in for a stressful life constantly on edge. If you have any sense any way . To quote a friend the best way to stop them chasing stock is to never let them start
  10. Your mission will be to find a nice small set of holes that contain a rabbit so you can get off to a good start. Stick young ferrets down empty holes just gets them messing about. Not the end of the world though
  11. Hi there a couple of links here might be helpful. Few variations
  12. Brave men can't think of nothing worse but it is obviously there thing. Bet they would cry like babies if you asked them to ferret a black thorn hedge around here Top job ? and not over yet now they got to get the kids out some how
  13. Yes I think you are right my beddy whippet was a feather weight and tiny and I could lamp her any where. She seemed to float over stuff. Sadly didn't float over an electric fence one night. But that was invisinvisible and she had to retire after that. MY big pudding now is four times the weight and it gives me a cold shiver when I think of his last tumble. I could hear him running full blast down through an open wood. I could hear the thud thud as he went flat out. I new it wasn't going to end well then I heard an all might yelp when he hit the fence then quiet followed by a whopping thud
  14. Christ lads go fishing or some thing lol
  15. I would imagine of all the sports to pick up perm fly a bird would be the easiest to get. Knock on few door be fine and good luck
  16. I have just the dog if there was no ban Sadly there is so he has had to lower his expectations plus having me as an owner is quite a hindrance
  17. Great read. Good to be in a position to do things like that.
  18. Not watered nothing yet but plan to give things a good soaking at weekend.No rain on the forcast at all First picking of runners all ways the best
  19. stick to the dogging sites Davo
  20. As the years go on it is more and more likely to trip over a badger. Must be the increase in numbers and they are just getting braver. Years ago it was rare to dam near never happening to see a day time one. Much preferred it back then
  21. Well I guess if you ditch every dog that doesn't make the grade in a short time and just keep the ones that do your going to get through a lot of dogs and come across some keen early starters quickly. Just not fair on the slow out the blocks ones who have every chance of surpassing the early starters and deserve a life as much as the next. But I am soft
  22. Why are folks so competitive over there dogs. Who really cares if some silly sod thinks his got wonder dog. My dog is a clutz but he does me though I will say his got a better nose than any dog on the planet All good fun
  23. My poor old hound would been a goner then lol but a year later a different dog
