    I must confess, I like the smell of ferrets, especially on clean sawdust, and laying comfortably, in their soft straw bedding... 

    When I was in Secondary School, I always handled my ferrets before setting off for the day,...and once in class,.. I noticed that very few  pals wanted to sit next to me.

    Several pupils would moan and complain to the Teacher, "He stinks Sir"...?.

    I couldn't understand their problem?

    Oh yes,...I like the smell of ferrets....?

    Evening Phil, that’s the type I found I liked to work with the most. Cracking ferret in fine fettle.  

    that type round here is rare to see these days, all the best ?

    If you can’t get them in shade add some bricks or summat to roof an then another board a wood, the space between the board an the hutch will keep it cooler, easier jist to put a roof over the hutches tho to protect them from elements all year ?

    My ferret hutch is mounted on the wall of the dog  run,they get some morning sun and shade in the afternoon. The run does have a full roof to protect from the elements, good ventilation so all in all that seems to work  for me.

    Ive Just rejoined a while ago, it’s been a long time! 
    last meeting I went to John b was the rep for the west Mids. And that’s many years ago as many of the men that were there and possibly on here would remember.

    I know John went on to become an author, I’ve not read the book so can’t comment. That may jog a few memories!!  
    wondering if Gordon is still at it ? 
    so I’m giving the club another go as we had some great times and some eventful meetings ??in those days! 
    Happy Days.
    See you at the show ?

  12. Teaching To Return

    In my opinion mate, and it's just an opinion

    I've found over the years that excitement causes this, put some game in front of the dog and get her working plenty if you can.

    Once they get the idea that retrieving leads to more catches they normally settle down and even with a lack of training will still drop em at your feet and be looking for the next run.

    Worse case just ignore her she'll come when your walking away from her.

    Obviously breed type and bonding, fitness etc all plays a part.

    Just how things have panned out over the years for me and the few I've hunted with.

    All the best.
