    You need to avoid any ground that has got potential disaster written all over it he says Only so much you can do but some times worth popping a lead on till you clear some lethal looking fence if you suspect some thing might be about. I was lamping a few weeks ago and the rabbit ran completely the opposite direction it should gone went through the gate onto a track and started head to a cattle grid. All out the beam I could hear the dog blasting down the track. I was bricking it and expecting 4 broken legs but lucky it hit the hedge before it got there. Only so much you can do

    Terry, I think you hit the nail on the head there. I'm beginning to think that in many situations having a lurcher covering a warren is almost being over-gunned. Like you, I haven't got the luxury of big open ground buries, and have to rough it, so a little cross-bred marking dog sat in the thick of a hedge waiting for that bolter that run's the top of the hedge is just what I need, and nowadays there is such a choice of purpose bred litters there's something for all tastes. very trued spoiled for choice now a days with a multitude of crosses out there and thanks to the web being ab

    I think for ferreting you only need a little marking dog. You can cover all the bases with various types of nets so you won't miss many. ANy you do the dog can get its snout down and find to ground again. I only got a lurcher because its nice to be able to lamp during the week where as a terrier type would only see work at weekends

    You couldn't ask for more really great start and its only going to get better I imagine

    yes double check for your nets like jok says. I spent the summer knitting some nice nets. First trip out this year I used them. Thought i had picked them all up and a couple weeks later passing the holes. I saw one of luminous pink nets left on a hole. How the hell I missed it i never know. Try and put bands round them now and slip on me wrist that seems to work for me now

    Decided today to turn over one of the one ton bags of compost as per the instructions. Been putting it off as I expected a mass of weed roots but got a nice surprise. Once I scrapped the top off with the courgettes it was good stuff. Come spring then I can just throw it back on capped with cardboard and bit of tin till the spring. Definitely do more of that bit of turning over cabbages too far gone now much prefer small tender ones last of the squashes

    bloody excellent

    Well I am amazed how quick his healing up. Carried the leg slightly for couple of days but that was it. Quite happy to spin about now if i was to let him and trot around. I can't believe there was any muscle damage really as its got better so quick. Stitches out tuesday then I will jog him for a mile or two if that goes well maybe contemplate a bit of ferret next weekend. Some where safe lol. our stroll this evening with the rope to keep him steady My pet hate a mark when we have no ferret doh. Wouldn't normally praise a mark but seeing as i was going to drag him away shortly
  16. terryd
    Yea I am the same. At the start I thought that lurchers buggered off lol then it came back with a rabbit. That will teach me The dogs do well fair play
  17. terryd
    Great bit of fun couldn't ask for more. Excellent video as all ways
  18. terryd
    This bust a gut attitude must also come into its own if your lucky like the folks up north getting them huge numbers. A dog giving rabbit number 70 or what ever just as mush effort as it gave no 1

    personally when I talk about my dog I never big him up because in some respects his a pain in the arse. But I do talk about him because i am proud of his grit and heart which has nothing to do with me and is all him. He is certainly no headless chicken. I have seen him sit on the edge of a small quarry watching the rabbits hopping bout below with no thoughts of throwing him self over the edge lol

    yes my vet gives me a print out for any aftercare needed and obviously advice and include a return visit for a checkup or any thing that needs doing
  21. terryd
    Really should take to the vet I would

    Mine is very do or die once in pursuit but on the other hand his not stupid. If a rabbit hits a real thick hedge he won't go ploughing like an idiot with no hope of catching on the other hand if his close behind and smashing in will bag it that is what he will do. He does come unstuck with hazards he can't see but that is not his fault. I do curse his drive some times but when I think about it. I think after having a dog like this a laid back thing that didn't give a 100% would be disappointing. Saying all that after his most recent knock which was his hardest yet I am hoping he hasn't lost

    The top pic the fields look good for lamping or long netting at night. Depending where the rabbits are

    Had no problems so far so yeah I do that's what came on my couples to off strong stuff Just be carefull Lee. The brass ones I got off strong Stuff kept coming undone. Iv watched the dog shake and the lead came off. I had to grind the thumb catch down so I didn't stick out so much. Havnt had a problem since. I think he does different clips on his new stuff anyway. I trusted mine untill it popped off. Only needs to happen once in the wrong spot. Mine did exactly the same until I ground the clips down as suggested but I lost a bit of faith in the lead after that
  25. terryd
    You lucky sod lol. Good luck and I hope its a tidy/safe spot
