ok mate, thank you very much for the honest answer To many folk would of said anything to get the dog sold. I wish you all the luck with the sale.

would tis dog be any good for ferreting?

They sound cracking dogs mate. Good luck with the sale and wish you all the best.

Any pics mate?

Grand picture mate! Cheers for that.

What kind is it mate?

This is the reason I got it. Just to tide me over while I decided what money to spend on a good one. And I've still got it Honestly can't fault it. LOL I might end up exactly like you. IF I get a good few seasons out of it I will be more than happy tbh. I might even just replace it with the same kind if I really jell with it

That looks like it would suit me perfect or at least until I decided if I want to spend the extra money on a bulldog spade.

I can second this. It's the roughneck round point micro shovel. 27" and £12.99 from screwfix. I can't tell you how many times I was laughed at or lads took the piss when I took it out of the boot last season and so far this season. But I can't fault it. I'm a heavy handed f****r and I've got a knack of breaking cheap tools. But this has been spot on and it's had some use. Dug 4-5 foot with it at least 10 times and loads of 2-3 foot digs. Your like me then mate. LOL Cheers

That looks good mate.

My problem is I don't take a motor with me so I need a spade that will ideally be suitable for most situations. Because to be honest it would be a pain carrying 3 or 4 different shovels aswell as the ferret box and net bag etc.

I have just found a folding one on Ebay which is a spade/pick axe and a saw. It's £17.

Your guess is as good as mine mate.

Thank you very much for that. I did see that there was some health problems when I was reading up on them but couldn't find much on them so I assumed they were bred out (To a certain point.) I did message "KEEPS" But sadly she isn't planning on breeding a litter anytime soon. :/ . I think I will just have to wait till spring and try do as much research as I can till then and hopefully a decent litter will be available. But once again thank you.

carbon but they need taking care of more as they rust like cnuts midnight makes knives http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/261528-every-week-at-my-forge-and-workshopupdated/ Cheers mate. Are carbon sharper than stainless? I saw a thread about it but lost it...
