  1. Nice one Chid, first of many mate. Scoobies first ones were live but not anymore have to wrestle him for them
  2. I could be in with a chance on this one when i get some pics sorted. One of the hobs I bred this year out of my small hob to a normal jill is smaller than his dad and can fit through the mesh on one of my cages, i'm glad I stayed close by to find that out before my terrier did i've kept normal jills in there with no problems before.
  3. Cheers everyone Sorel I showed him what quarry was at about 7 months just so that he knew but then held him back until he was probably ten months and introduced him gently. Ten month might sound early but I knew the dog was physically ready to start having a couple of chases. His prey drive has kicked in properly now and he no longer acts like a pup, he will in the park or garden when you have a ball though . Only you will know when your dog is ready, don't overmatch him though, i keep mine away from big rabbits for the time being. Cheers, Gnipper
  4. After having a bit of a re training session on my pups retrieving on thursday after he had refused the night before I decided to take him for a few runs on the lamp. First field as soon as we stepped through the gate there was 2 rabbits sat next to each other, scooby who is just getting the hang of going down the beam ran towards them and one launched itself into the air and he nailed it as it landed, then for the will he wont he but he did and I was like a dog with two dicks as he started trotting straight towards me with it :59: He missed a few as the ground was really wet sticky clay tha
  5. Cobalt blues are burrowers and you'll hardly ever see it and if you do keep your fingers away or it'll bite them. When I sold mine I was nudging it into a container with forceps when it decided to run up them towards my hand and I couldn't get them off my thumb , been bit by a chile rose and didn't fancy a wallop of that. They are imported more than their bred in captivity from thailand and burma etc, there was an influx of them a couple of years ago where all the suppliers couldn't shift them and you could pick them up for less than 20 quid, 25 for a guaranteed female (laid egg sac after b

    Happy birthday mate
  7. not done much since the last time i pm'd you been out watching on the lamp a few times and had a couple of runs but not caught owt yet lol He will mate, Scooby catches a couple of rabbits pretty much every time we go out on the lamp now but he doesn't like being bitten, i'll get him retrieving bigger stuff soon with another dog though. He's caught quite a few birds too What height has Alfie stopped at? Good luck, gnipper
  8. Alfie's looking well there mate, has he done much yet? He doesn't look like his brother does he Cheers, gnipper
  9. I wish i could drive , it must be great just being able to get in a car and go where you like, well done for passing Pull your finger out and get the test passed then or have you been banned already? Well done on passing your test lad, best thing I ever did for my dogs. Just make sure you behave yourself and don't get points in your first 2 years or you'll have to do it all again.
  10. How much is there mate? I would take some but i'm lamping in a bit so i probably won't be up early in the morning either.
  11. Shoots don't just dump them all, they go to the game dealers. I think you been reading too much anti bullshit.
  12. I'd edit that quick if I were you
  13. You on about a different mike brown to the one who owned sooty sam and breeds the working whippets and lives in north wales???
  14. I know a couple of people who are the same off the cider, its bad shit. Vodka redbull is the one for me, when I go I don't even know i'm doing it and then wonder why i'm getting screamed at, its like I black out and smash stuff but feel as though i'm not pissed just buzzing. Ten cans with 4 shots in each is a bit OTT though isn't it Try drinking something you don't like, see if it puts you off a bit. I smoke but if i'm trying to cut down a bit I smoke roleys as I can't stomach too many of them and can't be arsed making them.
  15. Warburtons bread (white and brown), brand name cereals as shops own are disgusting and nescafe coffee.
  16. I thought it was another thread about ditch then

    ditch shitter

    If everyone starts emailing him he'll disconnect his internet and get his window bars and moat installed and leave his dogs out patrolling for fear of people coming for him
  18. Mines Naomi but her two baby cousins are Ezmia Leigh and Amelia ? (dunno if amelia is getting a silly double barrel name coz she was only born on sunday)
  19. Cat proof their nesting/roosting area. Trapping will only piss off the neighbours.
  20. Don't worry i'm not losing the plot and freeing rats and rabbits but I need to find some info on the legality of releasing a wild rabbit back into the wild? I'm pretty definite its illegal but need proof. Anyone got a link? Cheers, Gnipper
  21. Mine aren't keen on minced chicken at all but love the un minced carcases. My whippet has always been a picky eater and I've struggled to put weight on her, she eats just enough dry to keep going but it seems to not help her at all. She does well on a raw diet though and I think its a wheat allergy in the dry which fecks her up and I think she knows this and thats why she picks at it. Try just giving the dog tripe and chicken if it will eat it.
