  1. If your not worried about listing him as working. Pet plan pay vet direct instead of you having to fork out and wait for repayment. Atb Tom
  2. Had to take my friends son out with a lamp the other day just to show him fox's are real . Had to slap my friend for it mind!
  3. Is anyone else on here concerned about our future generation ? The lack of knowledge of where good comes from is actually quite scary a student at the school I work at actually asked which animal beef came from and it's becoming a frequently asked question as they just assume it comes straight from the shop, which is why my daughter helps with working the dog so she will understand . Atb Tom
  4. I'm dying to get my pup his first one that's edible and not got myxi ! Got my pastry ready in the freezer! It's good to see you getting the kids involved ! Will be getting my daughter involved I don't want her to be part of the generation that just assume food comes from the shops!! Atb Tom
  5. Cheers lads guna take him out tomorrow evening
  6. Farmer near me has got some rabbits with myxi on his land and has asked me to take the dog over to clear them up he's 11months now and would be his first bit of action so thinking it would be good for him to start on I know it's not season yet but it's a good opportunity . What you think? Atb Tom
  7. My dogs completely different when lamping a lot more alert and won't pay a blind bit of attention to what my wife tells him . I like knowing he's a one man dog .
  8. Roast of the fennel and celeriac till very tender on a slow heat then add some cream and butter only a small amount and blitz in a blender till smooth , get some spuds and make a nice buttery mash , pan fry salmon and fry the crayfish in plenty of butter and garlic and if its available a bit of samphire and bosh lovely tea !
  9. Running it for the national rheumatoid arthritis society as my wife suffers badly from it hoping to make it in under 1 hour 40 minutes . Also looking at cheap places to stay near it if anyone can recommend any .
  10. Anyone else on here doing the great north run?
  11. Anyone going to this? Going along with the family and the dog , thought it might be a good chance to meet any other members . Atb Tom
  12. Hot water crust rabbit pie is always a good one , take the meat off the bone keep it chunky add some hardy root veg like swede , parsnip , carrots and onion a few redcurrants some thyme salt and pepper , line a Victoria sponge spring release tin with pastry put filling in and slightly compress it, top with pastry lid stab hole in the top egg wash ,into the oven at 200 for 20 minutes then down to 180 for another 90 minutes take it out nice crusty pastry and beautiful tender juicy insides.
  13. From what I gather a fair distance from you lol , all my permissions belong to the same family , and they aren't big fans of eating rabbits and none of them hunt so stumbled onto a good one, got offered the permission without asking so very grateful to them going to take few lads I know over and they will be repaying the favour.
  14. He has family living on the farm that are really hot on poachers and I'm the only one with permission , won't be working it to much as have got another 150 acres within 10 minutes from it that's crawling with them so guna alternate it weekly and won't be going mad as it will be dogs first season, cheers for the advice it's much appreciated. Atb
  15. Hi all just a quickie just acquired 300 acres of permission but the farmer is saying that there's not a lot about , but he only goes there once or twice a week but I'm convinced there should be plenty as its an organic crop farm barley and corn, and there a lots of deer tracks and prints and its in the middle of nowhere . Anyone had any experience with this sort of land, or am I just worrying about nothing? Atb Tom
  16. Thanks for replies he's not working ATM anyway guna wait till my work break for 6 weeks holiday , am just concentrating on recall and on short basic retrieve , he gets walked in the morning just round fields before the other dog walkers come on and I take him on my run with me at night when it cools right down , just a few miles for his fitness. Atb Tom
  17. Hi lads watched purdys progress and decided to get retrieve going again by getting him to bring it to me in his bed , seems to be going well did a few sessions yesterday and one so far today has been bringing sock dummy straight back and releasing upon dead command, cheers for your help and atb for the coming season! Tom
  18. Basically my dog howls and cries every time I go to work even though my wife is home ,he follows me everywhere to the shower for a fag and if I leave him outside the bathroom he cries and howls is this a massive problem or is it just seperation issues? Atb Tom
  19. Buddy saluki x grey photos from a month ago he's now 10 months old
  20. Thanks have done a bit of research from previous posts on here guna persevere with his training through his pain in the backside stage so he's good to go for the season !
  21. Been putting my pup through training for the coming season retrieve isn't going as well as hoped have got him on training lead issuing the recall whistle and he was coming back and giving dummy back first time same with recall , about a month ago decided to take him off training lead and recall was good , did some off lead retrieve training tonight and just ignored me same with recall he has just hit 10 months he's a saluki x grey , really want to get this sorted as will be joining a few blokes who's dogs are trained well this season and don't want to give the impression I haven't put the work
  22. I am into amatuer photo journalism and am interested in writing an article in disbanding the lurchers bad name so that joe blogs doesn't associate every lurcher owner as a knob who is only interested in killing small defenseless bunnies and that every lurcher/sighthound as a vicous dog that is only interested in killing everything am in the Somerset area if anyone thinks its a good idea let me know ATB Tom
