    Seems to be a common theme for ferreting dogs get them out young around the holes. No risk of over doing them as long as you don't make them walk miles. Used to carry mine on site and let him waddle around. One day thump thump under ground rabbit exploded out in front of him and from that day on ferreting was his thing.

    do you not get problems with the terriers digging rabbits (me personally I wouldn't use an earth dog for bushing)but each to there own mate Mine would go to ground on a fox but not rabbits he had a enough sense to know that was a waste of time and that was what the ferrets was for. i remember once he went to ground in a rabbit bury in an old black thorn hedge. I thought this is odd very out of character but it turned out to be a charlie squeezed up tight in there. But he was bought up on ferreting so new what was what.

    Pinched the wifes cocker this morning I keep hoping he will be a useful marker and I think he is slowly catching on. I had him on a lead at the time which slowed him down enough to check over the holes properly. The first bit of woodland had been done by some one else by the look of it. Holes had been blocked with boulders for some reason and people had been digging. But I new of a set of holes tucked away in some cover so I went for a look. The cocker showed enough interest in one particular hole for me to be confident some thing was at home. Entered my hob which is still starting out and

    My old JR had a nose like a hound watching him follow a line was a real pleasure. never forget him zig zagging backing and forward when the scent got faint until he picked it up again. If a rabbit bolted from an unetted hole the chances of him losing it were pretty dam low. He would be waiting by a hole some where waiting for me to do the job properly this time Perfect bushing dog he weren't know pheasant fetcher but sure he could of turned to it I asked it of him

    Tried a new spot tonight noticed this afternoon the farmer had moved his sheep. I was a bit worried about the street lighting When I stepped into the field it was like day light but I could see the with hedge as a back drop I would be in the shadows so worth a shot seeing as I was there. As I was running the nets out and I could see plain as day what I was doing which made a change. Any rabbits that were out I hoped if they were close they would squat once I was between them or they would be so far out they couldnt see me anyway. Took my time banting the field as it was quite big and I d

    Yea I know what you mean jj we bought second hand chest freezer when the runners beans went into over drive and all the cabbage came at once. But I need to sort my timings out which will come with experience. Also more spacing between rows so I can hoe easier with out any worries

    fingers crossed jj do you manure your beds at all ? I see you have plenty of leeks too I wish I had planted more been having a couple every weekend and will soon get through them. Next year I will have a better idea of amounts that I need. In other news picked up some flower tubs from morrison today. About a gallon in size for 99p per 8 but the bundles were actually 10 will use them for the toms next year

    Looks a cracker not that it matters and sounds like his working well I would just keep doing what your doing. People all ways said my jr was a bit on the big side for fox but he had heart of lion and would all ways get there one way or the other. Its whats in side them that counts

    Put the bass rods away until the spring so it's time to turn my attention to the rabbits. Made a start tonight as it wasn't lashing down. This drop faces the north with a wind blowing in from the west I made my approach from the east. Had scouted it a couple of days ago so new the farmer had left a couple of gates open so I could stroll straight in other than an electric fence to get under. Felt quite rusty running out my 2 50 yarders they didn't seem to go out very smooth at all but I took my time and kept at it. Then the bottom of my quiver gave way and I had a constant trickle of pegs f
