  1. Now lurcher folk are not well known for being letter writers so it won’t happen. What would help would be Basc or who ever to do one of them template click here to email your local mp. With what you just said.But that won’t happen either
  2. Ferrets get lazy and seem to prefer kibble if given choice. Meat is obviously better but a pain in the summer
  3. I do like that size of dog. Just shows they are more than up to the job. Great to see.
  4. Was only thinking today pickups have gone down the pan. When I worked in forestry years ago the old hilux and mazda pickups and even a subaru were proper jobs. Pickups now a days are like 20 grand plus and look like cars. You could get more in back of an estate. Not that I could afford one back then or now lol. I had an old sherpa van lol
  5. I don't have much experience well none of collies. But I had a nose on your tube and from what I see they need lots of exercise and mental activity training and stuff. Being a working dog that won't be an issue in years time. I find with mine all ready shes an active sod. Just put her in the crate for the night but she wide awake and would be up for a few miles lol. Even though we only did that a few hours ago
  6. I remember as a kid reading plumbers books and about Merle. a collie cross was holly grail back then. My dogs were a hotch potch. Well now at ripe age of 53 I have one lol
  7. Superb I came close to getting one of them but decided against it
  8. no body mentioned giving up lol I will be chasing rabbits until I die what ever the case
  9. What can you average Joe with a lurcher do to stop it. Absolutely nothing apart from get arrested
  10. Haha yea I noticed in first week or two there was the potential lol but I have averted it. No car chasing to be had lol. She might try drive them though ?
  11. Love that Phil that's what I want
  12. I got both so will start with air rifle. Then I have a 20G hushpower and then we can go to the 12G Shot few ducks in some reedy fields and they are buggers for sneaking off when clipped
  13. Thank you she sure is. Going through a whirling dervish phase now and just goes mental when we out lol. little fruit cake ?
  14. I was surprised to learn some one drove a field near by the other day. This big field is sectioned off with high tensile electric wire and they went through it all. There truck must been wrecked. Just not the way to do things. Low profile leave no sign and definitely do no damage. I remember being scared to death as a kid cause some idiot had left a gate open and fired up the farmer. Found my self in the middle of a field lamping away when the first I new was head light came on and engine revved up. Sneaky sod had snuck his landrover into the top of field. He came at me full pelt down the s
  15. So I can't tempt you with her brother then ? ? Your right about the merle mind every sod wants to pet her lol
  16. I was same Arry I can remember it now. Top floor class room with windows looking out over the fields toward home where my dogs and ferrets were waiting. Bloody torture being stuck in a religious education class. What an absolute waste of time that was. Most youngsters now a days are all bull crosses and facebook. They get off on the wrong foot. Instead of starting from ground up with few rabbit snares then get a pup and a ferret and progress
  17. Prickham is out to ban woodcock shooting now and no doubt he will just steam roll our lot and get his way or we will bow and let our selves be restricted. Its relentless. I only shoot one or two a year and that is my choice and my right
  18. Yes I can see how they could be a pain. Mine has a high energy levels to say the least. It takes a lot to tire her even now. She is not a big fan of being in the run during the day but in fairness is relativity quiet. When I stop for grub I let her out and we do some thing even ten minutes training and then shes ok until the evening big walk. She is in a crate in house at night. I made sure there was nothing on it for her to reach but kept finding stuff in there some how. One evening watching tv out corner of my eye I saw this dogs leg reaching around the corner. Must been extendable lol was
  19. I don't know how it works but if its down to votes or just peoples opinions on things we will never win any thing. I saw post on fb where one of the groups like basc were negotiating to make the bill workable and this is from a gundog point of view. Some woman said if your negotiating instead of knocking it back point blank you have all ready lost. She is bang on. They are constantly taking chunks and we scramble to cling on to little bits of it instead of stopping it full stop. Snares are going to be banned in wales and that will include rabbit no doubt which will slide through unnoticed. So
  20. What do people use for bedding in the kennels out of interest? PIssing down this morning so we didn't go far. Last thing I wanted was her in her bed all day soaked even after towelling down. Been using old rags and stuff but they need drying every ten minutes in this weather after shes been out
  21. Just watched it and skipped most of it what load tosh and what bunch of plonkers. I will say I don't get people sticking hard dogs in setts where they are inevitably going to get a pasting. Its all doomed all of it working any dog in 10 years even a bloody spaniel will be heading out the window. Sure of it
