A lad I knew used a first cross gwp x greyhound out on the marsh and out on the shoots aswell as working to longnets, lamping etc. I think he wrote an article in the edrd about her.

Give it another couple of months to let the cover die back and the pup to mature then take it places there's rats. Get it chasing toys, rags, fox tails etc on a string while your waiting.

Same round here, they really do just disappear. The odd survivors need leaving alone to breed but the mongs can't help themselves and catch the last couple.

I think it's that one where he gets a bitch lined and it pups a fortnight later, the breeding of his dogs changed from book to book too.

Just ordered it off eBay, 2.80 free postage.
