Ferrets - how many chances do you give them?
swanseajack replied to Mustelid's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I agree, my point is that he hasn't done any work with them, through no fault of the ferrets'. Yes they should know the job at 2 but he hasn't 'worked' them so taking them out first time so to speak they are gonna get playful because they don't know the job in hand. If they continue to play every time he takes them out do what must be done. -
there ya go ..

Might sound like a stupid question, and I'm not trying to teach you or your granny to suck eggs... "When did you last feed it, before you took it out".... ? or "If it's playing, leave it, play that is.... have a smoke, do a rain dance whatever... once it's got that playin five minutes out of it's system perhaps it will do some work..... or Are you sure there was anything in the holes.... if not, perhaps the ferret was not going in coz there's nothing at home ??? Just a thought hope it helps... -

I agree, as long as it suits... so be it! or 'Hares are for courses, horses for gambling' Anyone been out this morning (Sunday) or yesterday? I was up early this morning, trying to catch a bit of scent before the sun warmed it up too much. Put first fox out of thick gorse Barney took him up and over the hill before he lost scent. Second came out of reed beds went the same way as first up and over... Third gave the terriers a good run around up and down both sides of a gully for 15-20 mins before they eventually lost him, as a side note they run this one inside a hedge on the

I've got a good home for him...... Nice dog...... at's a cracker -
Just in case any of the readers hadn't already guessed, I prefer the smaller dog that's built for and have the tenacity to work below ground.. not everyone's cup of tea, they suit me...

Just my opinion, in answer to the question: "All of the above" I'm sure that all aspects mentioned above are qualities you would have historically and to some extent find in a present day Bedlington, all round JOBBER. I believe that they were used by a range of people from all walks of life for all sorts of jobs, shorter terrier types for earth work, taller ones used for rat, rabbits, bushing etc, maybe crossed back to whippets or whatever and bred to be typical for the work to which the owner was suited. Originally bred for earth work this dog has served many purposes over the y

ter·ri·er (tr-r) n. Any of several typically small, active breeds of hunting dog originally developed for driving game from burrows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Middle English, from Old French (chien) terrier, ground (dog), terrier, from Medieval Latin terrrius, of the earth, from Latin terra; see ters- in Indo-European roots.] Sorry Stabs, couldn't resist that..

Missed a bit: "It would be interesting to know from the people that breed Bedlingtons what they breed for, is it for work below or above ground or both? And for the people who don’t breed but have Bedlingtons what was their reason in buying, for work below or working above? "
-
Here's part of an e-mail that was sent via PM to me: "Is it me or am I seeing two distinct types of Bedlingtons here.... ones that look like a terrier or at least look physically capable of going to ground and others that can't, but could do the job of a lurcher albeit probably worse. No disrepect to anyone, you live and learn but to me the Bedlington is a terrier." Anyone got any views, comments or constructive critiscism on this ??
