    not at the moment jok finished with the rabbits so waiting to get some pigeon my local farmer has just plough so hopefully he might sow some thing to get them interested. One year the fella working for him did peas but left them on the top the pigeons went mad for them can't see that happening again though

    I don't blame them lol all ways well wary of the sea. I fished lavernock spit one night with a mate who apparently new it well as a kid. Luckly there was a full moon and I was nearest and saw the water cutting us off so said do think we should leave he saw it and started to panic and run. We were knee deep running off there and when we turned around to look back the bar had gone and water rushing through. I was shaking like a leaf lol as I can't swim anyway

    I used to rattle a little bottle then give mine a lick of cod liver oil. It was handy if they came out in the middle of the hedge I could shake the rattle and they came to me.

    old fella across the road when I was about 11 he showed me how to set a mole trap, rabbit snares and fox. How to skin them as well. Got me into ferreting. His wife made a proper cawl dam nice too and they treated me like a son. Not long after got me first terrier as a pup and called him moses lol. He was the best dog ever. A taxi driver that used to to take me school gave me a lurcher pup as a surprise which got mange and the vet couldn't shift it for love nor money and one night it got run over. But things got better from there

    Once he turns the corner Allan you will have this I am sure

    just to add I was asking the same question at the start of the season lol but success soon swung things round

    another thing that helped was if it lost a rabbit and I got there quick with in ten yards or so I could call him back to me and didn't really have a choice just to get the routine going

    mine was the same at the start of the season but pick the dogs runs so he catches as many as possible and with plenty of practice they soon twig that getting back means onto the next one. If you can find a good spot or two as well with plenty of action so the dogs back then onto the next quickly as long as its got its wind. Towards the end of the season mine was coming straight back tidy

    I use the wait command. Start off teaching it to stop them jumping out of the boot, or to stop them running out of the kennel when the door is open. "Wait" and "go on" when they have waited long enough. Now I can use it in the field. Still not mastered it with the young bitch yet. She's at that age. But the brindle bitch will "wait" and "go on" pretty much without command now, just stays 20 yards in front. I'm sure your mates dog will have been taught using similar commands and over time knew when the "wait" command was coming. it was more of a recall gaz he would call its

    Ideal little ferreting dog will be a real asset

    I new a young lad a few years ago who had a lurcher he got as an adult was about 5 maybe. She would stick with in 15-20 yards like glue unless she caught a scent and the rare occasion she did go slight ahead he would call her and she would drop back into that radius. Unless he made it obvious he wanted her all the way in. Some one had trained her well it was like there was an invisible fence 20 yards out from him and that was perfect I thought. Not sure how you would achieve that

    A terrier x whippet is never going to have the speed to run a rabbit down in the open on a regular basis. But - provided it's not too big - it should have the speed to run one down in cover. As to whether or not it's too big to be useful, I think that'll depend on the size of the parents. You get both big and small whippets just like some terriers are much bigger than others. I guess I'm biased, but having got one I certainly wouldn't want to be without one. Mine's about 15" tts and she flies through all but the thickest cover with no bother at all. And for the sort of ferreting I do, whic

    lol the tree was hollow jok for about 6 foot it was quite fun could hear a right rumpus in side the tree when the ferret went up

    As he ever nailed one Terry? I popped ferret up there and he got that one

    Rabbits are very thin on the ground where I am terry.i want him to work ahead of me finding his own stuff.I prefer that that as he is trotting along silent were as I'm noisy with feet etc. I suppose a dog will work to a degree on his own merit depending on terrain land etc. Hardly any Arable land here just rough ground.which is a shame but that's the way it is I suppose. I know what you mean. If I am honest I like mine close because am not confident what will happen around the corner at the moment. Same boat as you there but after the next season I think we will be fine then i can

    marking a squirrel he likes squirrels a lot lol

    be surprised king mine has nailed 2 rabbits this year squatting in the hedge row with in a yard he has sussed he can flatten the cover on them and now he never rules out the fact there could be one a foot or two away Maybe teach a wait command declan if your happy for him to work ahead so you can stop him till you catch up and its handy for other things anyway
  24. terryd
    yep definitely trying to tell you some thing or get to the root of it him self
