How would you get him around the ferrets safely? We have let them in the garden together and he tries to kill them. He has gone for one and mauled one so we haven't let him out with them since. I think the ferrets are also wary of him as they hiss at him! He's a bugger!!!
First thing I would do is stop working him till you've got him listening to you. Keep him on the lead when you're out. Practice recall at home and then move I to the garden when that's all good take him into a lane or a path and try him.
When I broke one of my older terriers to the ferrets the dog was kept on a tight lead and let the ferret wander around in the garden, when the dog showed interest in it she had a tug on the lead and told to leave, kept doing it over and over till she showed no interest. Takes time but can be done

well it turned out to be a good night, first few fields were no good absolutely soaked so moved up to the higher ground. had a good few hours out, only managed 3 between us but some good runs.
-
be off out later tonight, hopefully get a few runs. looking forward to it havent been for a while now
-
decided to leave it tonight and have a wander tomorrow instead, hopefully get a run or two
-
Was out last night fields are still badly floated round my way rabbits have moved homes or drowned in there borrows. Way the weather is its only getting worse as well. I'll be lamping from a rubber dingy by next week
ha!
not a bad idea that mate, might have to invest.
-
Absolutely rubbish here mate think we've had 5 hard frosts. Nettles everywhere fields water logged. Rabbits are breeding now.
ive not been out much this season tbh, had a few trips out and its been crap. now everything is water logged. i noticed the rabbits breeding all year round tbh. just going to have a few hours wandering about and see if we can get a couple of decent runs.
-
as the title really, are many of you getting out in the weather weve been having?
i havent been out much as the ground on my permission is soaked, dog be better off swimming after the bunnies haha.
supposed to be getting out for an hour tomorrow night, see how it goes.
-
ive got the 150 with the battery in the handle, used it all last season and this season. ive yet to run the battery down on a night out. quality bit of kit for the money.
-
i only ever keep one runner. but keep a couple of terriers so if the runner is off then i can keep myself busy with the little uns . i wouldnt be able to find enough time to keep more than one lurcher busy but can work it alongside the terriers do abit of bushing/mooching and the odd nights lamping . i still feel he dont get enough work. as rabbit is a lurchers bread and butter to me and there isnt enough rabbits about to justify another runner
Same for me. One runner and 2 bushers. Permission isn't the best this year so tend to be out mooching local bit of bushing. Can't see me ferreting this season, haven't been yet anyway. Think I'll leave it and try let the number build up a bit. Maybe ferret a few local spots just to keep them ticking over.

why do you have some gear you want to give away? haha
plenty of idiots about mate take it for free use it for a season thrn give up and probably make a profit from it
-
After something like a collie grey bull or similar must be 100 percent on lamp and will take Charlie. will pay tidy money for the right dog preferebly with a trial. cash waiting inbox
haha

if anyone on here is interested in the kits please pm me.
been trying to upload a pic from when they were 6 weeks old but wont upload from my phone for some reason, will and get it up tomorrow at some point.
quite happy with how theyve turned out. litter of 5 and the hob i wanted to keep back for my self died. the four jill have been handled daily and are getting there. still giving me the odd nip but suppose thats to be expected.
feel sorry for the people that have massive litters though. these four go through enough food. put a rabbit in the cage and it was gone within a day. been feeding them on dry food and chicken plus the odd rabbit when i got some (last one some one had shot it and left it by a fence, was still warm when i found it)
anyway will try and get a pic up shortly
atb, GAJ.
-
they wont die mate just keep the cage as clean as possible
-
kits be ready to go in a couple days, 4 jills here to go as the hob i wanted to keep died. theyre in a seperate cage now for the next few days still munching like mad, last litter i had only one survived from my old jill. its good fun to have a few kits here messing about and being stupid. ill try get some pics up over the weekend
-

"The majority of Bedlingtons ive worked have been far from mute,noisy feckers,above and below,plus ive rarely owned one with a jacket worth mentioning,something Bedlingtons are renowned for.I owned a dog a couple of years ago that would not rein in,hit a scent and tally-ho,then many hours to locate the ignorant twat,he,s now a pet,the vast majority of the ones ive bred and grafted are perfectly biddable and rarely get lost on their bushing forays"
I take it you couldn't find your gun that time then Morton
Useless f****r might find its way into the bloodlines now? You're all over the place geezer, no clue 
Why?, i expect my terriers to be vocal above and below,the more vocal they are the better they get the job done,id not breed from a terrier without those attributes.Explain?.
I'm not talking about them being vocal, i mean your double standards, telling a fella who's perfectly happy with his terriers to shoot them, and you re home your own failures, maybe with a view to breeding form it at some point?
Here's another one of your gems
"Ill guarantee that input of yours as "NO FOUNDATION" borne from experience.Ive owned countless bushers over the years and i cannot think of any terrier entered right that would not make an excellent bushing companion.Yet the terrier that stands out for me is the Beddy and its hybrids,it as a certain edge that no other type offers,i base that on experience with bushers over 30 years and not crass naivety.Any dog bred to bush,Spaniels,Beagles and terriers will do the job with distinction,there is no "BEST" to be had,thats a fallacy better fitting the nuggets about,they all do a job of honest graft,its then down to the owners hunting lifestyle and what fits his or her purpose.Bedlingtons are as good as most and better than others,if bred and entered right"
"Any dog bred to bush,Spaniels,Beagles and terriers will do the job with distinction,there is no "BEST" to be had,thats a fallacy better fitting the nuggets about,they all do a job of honest graft,its then down to the owners hunting lifestyle and what fits his or her purpose"
Its that bit in particular, saying the exact opposite of what you're now saying on this thread, "its then down to the owners hunting lifestyle and what fits his or her lifestyle" Well Gaj seems very happy with his dogs to me, like i said your'e all over the place.
When i was a kid and didn't know any better i had a very well bred digging dog that i let run free and bush, i lost him more times than i can remember, sometimes in really bad places, eventually it was his undoing, but well after i realised he should be kept on a lead at all times, except when i chose the earths for him, unlucky accident. If you've been getting away with your dogs off the lead all these years i doubt they're the real deal? And that's not to mention the problem of multiple dogs entering the same earth when they're running free, do your's know when its their turn?
I am indeed very happy with my dogs
Spent a lot of time and effort with them. And they do the job I ask of them and more. They both work together with the lurcher outside waiting (unless he has a go on his own which is always amusing).
Honestly don't understand why I should shoot my dogs for not doing something I don't want them to do haha. Crazy world.

if you say so mate, they will both bush hard all day. they will both work rats. the both of them are good ferreting dogs. they mark. not saying theyd refuse to go to ground. theyve never been tried. wouldnt want them going to ground as thats not the kind of work i do with them. you have no idea of how they work and have never seen them work so dont see how you can say theyre 3rd just because they dont drop to ground. i dont have the need for a terrier that drop to ground every five minutes as that would be a pain in the arse for me. so they were never introduced. i wanted them to push qurry out of cover for the lurcher and thats what they do.
My terriers push out of cover,with the big b*****d lurchers in attendance,when the lurchers are in attendance when the quarry as run to ground i expect the terriers to do their job of work,if it could not fulfill that part of its work id cull it,or the lurcher that could not graft with the terrier.You will never need to try a terrier at earthwork,it should come natural,again if it does not its a fecking cull,if they do whats wanted on your endeavours,fair play,id not feed one of them.
what ever mate, your on a different planet. its quite simple, i dont want my terriers to go to ground. if you dont like it then fine, but that doesnt make my dogs 3rd rate. just do different types of work. enough said.

mine dont and im glad they dont, never had to dicourage them they just never bothered.
Are they terrier based?.IF they are id shoot them,terriers bred from honest hunting stock will bush better than piss poor breeding and also enter,if its a terrier id want it to do terrier work,above and below,if it refused to enter its a cull,end of.
yes they are and i have no reason to shoot them, theyre bushing dogs, wouldnt want them dropping to ground every five mins. thats not what i want them to do, theyre job is to drive quarry out of cover for the lurcher and to mark holes when ferreting. theyre very good at the job and wouldnt want anything different to be honest. might not suit you and the work you do but that doesnt mean a terrier that doesnt drop should be shot.
Lets get a little realistic here mucker.the dog does what you wish of it,im more than pleased for you,yet a terrier that refuses to enter is a cull,thats a fact of life to some mucker and id shoot it without remorse or hesitation.A terrier that enters will bush better than a terrier that won,t,fact,its a sign of commitment.If your happy with a 3rd rate terrier that bush,s,so be it,you feed and kennel it,id not have it,or feed it and would gladly cull it and replace it with a better terrier that would enter and bush.As stated earlier,you feed it,its your choice,i have another,happy bushing.
mate, you havent got a clue what your talking about, just because a terrier doesnt drop doesnt make it "3rd rate" both my terriers are fantastic bushers. they do the job i wanted them for, they bush and mark rabbits and are good ratting terriers. i have no desire to spend hours on end searching for a dog and then having to dig it out, it would just ruind the day for me. i suggest you stick to shooting your own dogs for no apparent reason and ill enjoy working mine how i like, all the best.
Its a terrier lad,its in the name,they were bred with a single purpose in mind,that was to enter and do a job of work,many of the modern terriers are bred with less purpose,you obviously own that type,sadly its the wrong type.If it suits your purpose im pleased for you,yet lets become a little more realistic,its a 3rd rate cull that you feed,thats a fact that may not be savoury to your hunting ambition,yet its a fact that you have to face before you breed from it and pollute the terrier world with another litter of 3rd rate dross,3rd rate and im being kind mucker,face facts and not rose tinted speccy,s.
yes ok, you obviously know everything. i have no intentions of arguing with a small minded idiot. all the best.
