  1. drop a few rabbits for her mate she will soon learn to pick them up, thats reason behind dropping a few for them when they are younger

    Shaun, should I drop them after dark, or would it be ok to drop them close to where they've been ferreted in daylight?

  2. Chaz, she's lurcher to lurcher, a mix of bedlington, deerhound and greyhound, she stands just short of 24 inches to the shoulder. Midnight I invited opinions and respect yours, I was hoping for a natural, but don't we all LOL. If she does fail to make the grade i'm afraid i'll just have to make room for a new one as my 7 year old and her have become inseprable mates, but it's early days yet and hopefully she might make a reasonable dog oneday, but I'm not nieve enough to think she's going to be a world beater.

  3. I've kept terriers for 25 years, but lurchers is a new one to me although i've been out with lads who work them. Terriers have normally got it in their belly or they don't, not quite black and white, but i'd say easier to decide on keeper or cull. I was hoping someone would give me some sort of solution that may need time and work, as i'm prepared to put that in as the bitch is 14 months and the summer months are fast approaching.

  4. I've taken her ferreting on one occasion. She caught a rabbit that slipped the net, but basically she ran it in circles until it virtually waved the white flag, a decent dog would have snapped it up in half the time. Lamped her sunday night, she had about half a dozen runs at squatters in the middle of big fields, I walked them up and had to virtually kick them up the arse to make them run, she was on them all the way to the hedges. After every run I was thinking shall I pack in now in case she starts opening up because that would have put the tin lid on a frustrating night.

  5. I've got a young bitch of 14 months, when out lamping she's up and on rabbits, but just doesn't seem to want to pick up although they are there for easy pickings. Is there anybody who can give me any tips as to what I can do to iron out the problem or has she just not got what it takes?

  6. nice looking pup mate , GERONIMO your right on the breeding trev and tuffty , bock have sisters to him, dogrun its my mind lol , me trendy maybe, see you at the night show lol  :clapper:

    What i've found with Pickaxes line is that they are gangly pups, then two months later around the 18 month mark they look completely different, heads, shoulders and backs just expand, and muscle up.
