  1. A good home and plenty of our doors I would say that patterdale is a lot luckier than some
  2. Try and keep tabs on where all the badger sets are on your permissions if possible and stick the dog on a lead well ahead of time just incase. As for foxes they can turn up any where but never leave home with out a spade and ideally a locator but at least spade You would feel pretty helpless if your tyke was to ground baying his head off and you had no spade and if you leave he might not be there when you get back.
  3. She will hunt off a way if she needs to mate, and I do have to be a little thoughtful as to where I take her, but she's nothing like a pure beagle, even though she is 3/4 bred. She is pretty biddable, and I can call her back for the most part if really need to. I take her into some pretty big blocks of forestry and have had her hunt something out of hearing , but when she has lost it she back tracks sharpish. I do plan on getting a gps if i do get a few more though. Sounds very handy and reassuring if she is good at finding her way back all ways a comfort that. I see the prices on gps'
  4. Do find with these types of dogs with hound in your bit limited as where you go permission wise ? due to there range and likely to end up 3 farms away if they get on a fox and also the worry of roads ? Just curious
  5. doesnt mater the last time i looked this was a free country and can go were the fcuk i want and do what the fcuk i want within the law and the last time i looked it wasnt a crime to take you and dogs for a drive in the car this is getting like a police state its a fcuking joke True you could just be going for spin to get new permission makes no sense
  6. I all ways thought my old jr had some bull in him snipey jawed he wasn't
  7. Can't give you any advice cause I am not sure whats going on me self but good luck and get few pictures all ways enjoy them
  8. Thats how I met them through the terriers they used to do the terrier work for the carmarthen hunt I was the kennel lad at the time well I used to do the skinning for the hound food. What a lovely job that was Any way I could bang on for ever you got good start with the nets give them a whirl at night too well worth a go
  9. Treorchy a chap called daz (darren powell) and mike don't know his sir name going back fair bit mind early 80's. I used to be there rabbit guide now I am so out of touch I could do with a guide my self ​Good bunch of lads lost touch when I met the wife and got different priorities. Now I am back on track
  10. Very true no good having bulging bank balance and dropping dead. Just pay the bills and do what ever you enjoy
  11. Nice few rabbits I thought it was all bare mountains up the valleys not all bare good for you I used to take a couple of lads lamping from the rhondda valley way.
  12. Nice few rabbits I thought it was all bare mountains up the valleys
  13. Pot luck with out a marking dog wish I had one. On the plus side you get so used to ferreting empty holes when one does bolt its a hell of a suprise Like said above going with a good dog gives you a much better idea of what the ferrets are up to and is great for starting young ferrets off
  14. My best ever lurcher was a lurcher x lurcher no idea what the make up was but both good working parents. I think but no expert on it good working stock with the traits you want is the key what ever it is This thread should be helpful too http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/297011-rabbiting-dogs/
  15. Yes Phil I will be getting back quicker in future my mending skills are very poor. I go out side with the best intentions and lose my rag and end up cobbling it back together. But it will come just need to bring it indoors when I have plenty of time and fire up some of tc's posts
  16. Yea nice hole looks like it got steam rolled by a beaver. His feet were well and truly bound up but another minute or two I am sure mr houdini would have been away. He ain't getting out of the plastic tub in the fridge mind
  17. Hadn't planned on going out tonight. But coming back from tesco i could see the trees blowing about so it had to be done. NE wind is perfect for the drop I had in mind. When I got on site it was quieter than expected so I sneaked into position ran out 2 x 50 and it was one of them nights where they just slid off the pins with out a niggle. A nice slow bant of the field which is quite big and I had one rabbit to show for it the first one in my home made net which is going be followed by my first repair on my home made net. My bant must have been bit too slow and it nearly chewed its way out
  18. forecast to drop tomorrow for us and pretty quiet for the week then or at least the first half
  19. Doesn't offend me in the slightest just not as blood thirsty as I used to be but I still enjoy my sport and I never could knit If you enjoy it go for it
  20. I have one spayed jill and one castrated hob and a whole jill, The spayed one and the hob were happy as larry all summer but the whole jill left in season did not seem that happy she lost a lot of weight and obviously didn't seem very comfortable so next year I may get her spayed or jabbed rather than leave her job done then. Saying that now the winter is here she has put on the weight again and flying around the yard. My spayed jill turned out to be a cracking worker mind but not the end of the world plenty of ferrets about if I ever need a replacement
  21. killing for killings sake wouldnt appeal to me but in my younger days it probably would have
  22. Same thing happened to the bitch in my avatar she made it to a good 16-18 years mind. In her later years the grandmother collared her as a compained and a pet and looked after her really well which is why she lived so long I guess. But when the grandmother passed away I had her back for her final years. When her back end went I came home from work one day and bit the bullet carried her down to the vet. Not easy but had to be done
