  1. The IWH crosses I've seen have looked like they'd lumber about and have lacked that deerhound springiness and lightness of foot
  2. they be grand for deer Really? What, better than oh I don't know... a deerhound say?
  3. In my humble opinion too big and too heavy. Someone might put me right though.
  4. A friend took me to one of his permissions recently and the same thing happened - we only saw three rabbits (and caught two). It turned out the landowner had allowed someone to shoot on the land in the days before we went there. Very disappointing, but he took us to another farm (he owns several) where we had a very productive few hours.
  5. You're f*****g joking surely? Well I must belong here now then, I've become TOTALLY PARANOID. And I've sent IanB a bit of a ranty PM Are my threads just really really dull then? I thought my dogs looked great ferreting myself........ Must be hormonal - I am near that age..... Off to hide in a cupboard and myself Although, having looked, I still can't see a suitcase icon, only envelopes.......might just as well....
  6. Oh now I get it. It appears on every thread i start or post on. What do I have to do about this? Anyone who knows me on here willing to vouch for me or something? I feel like crying. I'm just an inexperienced woman trying her best to learn the sport and do right by my dogs. I've learned a lot here, this feels like such a kick in the teeth.

    That's a useful link TF, thanks
  8. Why do my posts have a suitcase icon next to them instead of an envelope?
  9. Thanks madmac - I'll be after that hutch of yours in no time, I can definately feel the need for a couple of ferrets coming on!
  10. ALI...Thought Will Smith did a great job.
  11. Well I'm stone cold sober now but the answer's still anyone really, especially the tosser madmac mentioned. Think I may have anger issues
  12. I've had beer, wine and tequila, so anyone really.........
  13. Nice site - easy to find your way around it, lots of useful information, good job all round
  14. Yeah, I ended up in a stand up row at Selby when my dog pissed up the programme sellers gazebo
  15. My bitch is scared of men whereas my dog likes them. In fact I sometimes think he'd prefer a male owner, but he's lumbered with me. I do think there are times when the deeper male voice does gain a dog's attention more effectively. Lots of us women have to practice our 'voice of doom'!
  16. Until this year I'd only ever had bitches, but got my first dog in January. I've heard people say that they prefer bitches because they're more trainable. I have to say my dog is more intelligent and more biddable that any bitch I've ever owned by a long shot. I realise other factors like breeding are significant too, but do you have a preference and what do you think are the overall differneces between dogs and bitches for working?
  17. Funnily enough ours did! Pip, it's a long time since I read Popper, but I'm pretty sure he'd say the same about creationism as he does about evolution, in that neither of them are provable within the criteria he sets. We're talking here about pardigms aren't we? Some people prefer one to another. Popper didn't think 'the truth' as such could be established irrefutably, if I remember correctly (which I might not).....
  18. A small point in the middle of all this, but when I was at school I was defintaely taught The THEORY of evolution
  19. :blush: :blush: Totally with you there Moll
  20. Thanks lads, I'm much clearer on this now
  21. How do you decide if someone's a hunter as opposed to a 'computer hunter?'. If you go out for a mooch with your dog at strategic times of day are you a hunter or a computer hunter? Do you have to have permissions, go out a certain number of nights a week, catch a certain number of bunnies etc? Just interested in what people think makes someone a legit hunter rather than a computer hunter, which seems to be one of the worst insults
  22. Lots of really good advice from everyone but personally I think it's best not to diagnose people on the basis of a paragraph on a website.... just my opinion
