That's shit mate, sorry to hear that. Hope you get a result

Ideally you want plenty of time. The more the better. I have flown a parent reared gos while working 5 days a week & I must say it went very well, but it's not recommended, though I was exercise training that bird very hard 4 nights a week & the occasional lamping session. The same go's for a Harris really, though behaviour can be more forgiving. I obviously wouldn't of tried the same with an imprint. I know absolutely nothing about long wings though! Haha..., but I guess the same would apply. Time, land & quarry should be your first considerations before you decided on your bird

I don't buy that collective guilt either. Nowt to do with me. I don't think many people do tbh. I'm really bad at history, it's sounds sad, but mostly I can't be arsed with it & I think that go's for most people I know. As usual it will be a minority getting all worked up about another minority, especially on all this social media shite!

My suggestion is find somebody who flys the bird you decide on. There's no reason why you can't start with a gos or a long wing if you have the right guidance. If you don't want a Harris then don't get one, however I disagree that you won't learn from flying a Harris. If you manage to successfully fly a Harris throughout a whole season, making kills on nearly very hunt, then you have definitely learnt proper weight control & handling. Training a Harris is dead easy, but so is training a gos, it's the entering, consistency with handling & good field craft that makes the hawk. A Re

I'm not sure mate, I can't honestly remember what he said about the dog. The year before I'd been with him in the same spot, so I was a bit gutted I weren't there to see it myself ;-)

I take it he didnt have a beddy/whippet for safety? He actually had a so called Alaunt/bull x.........but still very nervous!

Mate of mine was lamping in northern germany last year & saw some wolves. It made him a bit nervous on his own & on foot! Haha...

I'd get that in. She's in jars now that was from a few weeks ago, the fresian dew only finished last week tho quite late but this year ( my second) I got a microscope and was checking the colour of tricolms to judge harvest time Was it pretty easy & low maintanance to do outside?

I'm a fan! The little contact I've had with the breed has impressed me, they certainly have a presence. They would be at the top of my list if I wanted something large & watchful here as well as being an active companion. I think they are more than convincing enough as a watchdog, in my experience anyway. If like me, you're not a fan of most of the usual traditional guard breeds, then I think a ridgeback is a great option ;-) How many have you had Walshie? 25 years ago they were would have been still quite unusual in the uk, did your family have them?
