    Both my dogs (terrier and lurcher) don't even look at four legged stock, never have really. Where I am its mainly horses with the odd sheep and cow. I ran the lurcher through sheep for the first time this season and he won't go anywhere near them. The only small thing mine are broke to are ferrets, i'm surprised I managed that with the terrier too.

    Buy yourself 200 yards of sheet netting and a spool of braid from advanced netting and make your own for half the price, then all you've gotta do is get/make a basket and buy/borrow some poles.

    Doing well mate, was out ferreting some rats for him after tea. The bitch in the video is related to Scrap on one side of its breeding.

    or someone who takes about a week to slip his dog when the younger dog is running on its own ,dont think he wanted his dog to get there first I knew you'd spot that one

    It could be worse lads you could be out with someone who puts the lamp on the dog rather than what its chasing

    I get chicken carcases £2 for a 12 kilo box which are ok but chicken bones aren't enough for keeping teeth clean imo. Another butchers I go to for cheap mince does boxes of lamb bones/neck/ribs and pigs heads/tails etc for free. Chickens are only about 8/9 week old when their slaughtered and the bones are still soft on the carcases, feed a couple of lambs rib cages and you get clean teeth and anal glands as they pass out solid stools.

    Mine can catch rabbits well enough for his build and he'll tackle anything. He marked an earth for us yesterday and before I could get over the ditch he was in it . 22". I'd love to try him somewhere infested with rabbits to see how many he'd take.

    I ended up getting the end of my dogs tail off, it would heal and he'd open it again the next day. I'm glad I had the op done now.

    I've dug 5/6ft regularly but normally their about 3ft. Had a 6ft dig to my mates 3 legged hob last week through a mound of soil which turned out to be the old farm tip, netting, baler twine, plastic 5 litre oil drums, cobbles, asbestos, greenhouse glass you name it it was fecking in there .

    I had a rat they hunted for about half an hour yesterday on a big drain full of reeds, dunno why it didn't go to ground but they got it in the end. Hows your youngster doing?

    This little white hob of mine is a reet charmer, just hops on and gets on with the job without all the kicking off.

    Owl kills out of curiosity, sparrowhawk will only kill up to a certain age but the buzzard will kill and continue to kill even fully grown pheasants. I'm very surprised the keepers are not having any trouble with them since you say they are getting more common in your area?. I'm not so sure about the curiosity bit mate, when I was keepering we would regularly find them dead with just the heads pulled off and swallowed. That and live partridge with holes in them where the spars had been eating away at them without killing them along with loads of dead ones. The birds soon cotton on to wh

    I've never heard the keepers round here complain about the buzzards which are getting more common round here, tawny's and spars are the ones for doing poults though.

    I wonder if you could jab the ferrets after they've took a bite? Is penicillin ok for ferrets?

    You run a pack on the lamp???

    If he's not piling on the weight and you've only just started getting him fit i'd leave it as it is for the mo. The more he burns off the more he'll need to eat so you'll need to find a balance when he's looking right as to how much food/excercise you give him. If you run him a lot then weight might drop off him so be prepared to feed him more.
