For a deterrent you want something with a decent voice that will rally the others onto life A good strong lab or ridgeback will give you a great family dog that will guard the house and yard. GSD and similar are great if you get a good one but far too many now are bred into genetic retards that will cost you more than a black market kidney transplant in later life.

Seems a bit of a high example to me even if you did a top end workup Monthly Sack of James wellbeloved £50 Lifetime insurance policy £50 Toys / treats / bedding £25 Annual Boosters £40 Random problem dealt with by vets / insurance £ excess. That still only comes to £1620 a year but I suppose if you factor in 3 or 4 grooms a year at £60 odd for a designer breed or a mongrel with a stupid name (usually containing 'oodle' in it) then you won't be too far off. You may also have a couple of weeks of kennelling to pay for if you go away on holiday Some people

Just cartridges worked out marginally cheaper than my local rfd if I bought somewhere north of 5 - 7k cartridges at a time. Not worth the hassle. Support your local rfd

Err, well... Not a firkin clue what's occurred there. I was mowing all day yesterday so can only assume I've left my phone unlocked and it's been pressing against my leg. Nothing to see... Carry on!

Wasnt the cut shell initially a prohibition era ish 'invention of necessity' in the states because of access issues or restrictions over pistols and rifles? I did a bit of reading about them a few years back but can't quite put my finger on the site I found that had loads of info on it about cut shells and other 'hacks' to get around different problems

The numbers of young birds pigeon men stick in the wheelie bin or race to death as yb's / yearlings to see if they make decent birds is phenomenal. To do this effectively with dogs, in my mind you would need to put work through the pups of litter 1 for at least 2 years till they matured enough to show potential. Some mature slower than others but make far better workers in every aspect of dog work from sporting to cattle to assist dogs. I appreciate and understand the aim of the exercise and I understand how the breeds we have today came to be but there is a lot to be said for putting

Buy 100ft of paracord on ebay and knock up half a dozen 10 bunny carriers. 8 on each one starts weighing heavy, 10 is getting g silly of your travelling any sort of distance. The beauty of a carrier is you can hang them from a branch, gate etc as you go and collect it on your way back. Saves lugging everything around the entire perm

It's a pain in the arse but if you try even just give them all a quick rub with a microfiber cloth first to get the wax off them. One rifle I had loved rws subs. They seem to have a more slippery liquid feeling type of case lube on them rather than a wax based one.

My hob was a bit if a sod when I got him (young but not a kit anymore and barely handled) and he was also my first ferret so I was a little unsure how to approach it. I started handling him with leather rigger gloves then went down to bare hand but sprayed with bitter apple spray. He soon learnt after a couple of scuffings and a couple of pushed knuckles when he got ideas above his station. In the future if I'm buying in a kit I'll make sure it's young and well handled rather than 4 months old and barely touched!

To be fair, a kick in the bollocks is fairly universal. I doubt there is a culture where it is used as a term of endearment! I take it you have never met an Austrian then :laugh: Once. But he looked a bit shifty so I booted him in the knackers and he was on the floor in a matter of seconds. ???

lol my dog knows piss off. He goes to his crate. Not sure if thats good or bad My old border collie Gemma used to understand "go and play on the stairs" She would get her ball, run up stairs then drop it on the banister for it to roll down and she would chase it down the stairs and try and catch it before it bounced at the bottom. There would be an absolute riot going on for about half an hour then she would come back in, lie down and sleep for a couple of hours. She was a ridiculously clever animal and the easiest one to train I have ever come across.

It's all a big con... Until one of them gets a dose of parvo. There is an argument to say that they don't really need them after about 3 years old, maybe going to every 2 or 3 years to keep a bit of cover. Personally I'll always have mine jabbed. I've seen dogs with lep and parvo and wouldn't wish either on any of mine.

I've got a tesse, Herbert and mabel. Sadly gone is my old ridge back x ellie (who also answered to mallet, Mong & ginge)

No offence taken at all matey, I'm glad you noticed. I'd never really looked at the distance from a 'how far is that?' point of view as I'd always been looking t the dogs rather than the distance.
-
that one was taken by my mate - i'll ask him if he's got the full speed original. its funny as hell at the moment because the grass on the fields at home are up a bit so when she is playing you can see her getting really annoyed that shes not going fast enough because of the extra resistance! I reckon shes easily got another couple of mph to add to her average in her to be honest, she is getting a bit quicker and a bit fitter each week and shes only run out of traps twice too so if she decides to get a bit more motivation & she learns to jump out quicker it will all help. i'd like

'breeders' are just as bad. My ex was a vet nurse and the number of dogs that came into the surgery in various states of disrepair because of diet or treatment 'the breeder' recommended was laughable. As were some of the remedies they advised on. I realise a lot don't like the idea of giving their hard earned cash to a vet but sometimes, as shown here, those who don't know any better listening to breeders can be catastrophic. With regards to the collar, I resorted to one to rectify Mabels recall because nothing else worked. It was the last option to go for and just using t

What am I missing here, what is that meant to imply? These people should be straightened out or not have access to guns. Walking around with an empty chamber does not turn anyone into a safe shooter. I have just got back from Bisley, I am a RCO, if anyone in my club or ANYONE else on the firing point was behaving inappropriately I would remove them INSTANTLY and either make sure they were retrained or banned...END OF! ATB! Not a jab at you mate, sorry if it came over that way. Just making the point that I've seen plenty of people who had questionable gun handling at the be

Shame the rabbits aren't considerate really. It would make netting up a lot easier!

That'd explain a lot! Works out to 32mph. (not 24)

Over the years I've seen a fair few in the field and at rifle clubs whose gun handling and safety leave more than a little to be desired.

You sure the stopwatch is working correctly?! 9.3 seconds over 100 metres is slow as f**k. Nice bitch though. Or is she not really trying that much? Some dogs don't chase a lure as keenly as they do live quarry This week was the first week I've not had a chunk of rabbit hanging off the back of the lure for a bit of added motivation as she isn't all that fussed on the lure yet. To be honest, she's not even trying at that. Within 30 seconds of finishing she is wandering about as if she hasn't even run. With any luck she will get a bit more motivation when she is running against other

Another from this weekend. Currently running 9.3 seconds over 100 metres but she still has a lot in the tank so times should drop quite a bit over the next couple of months.

One of rews pups so she'll be about 20 months I think. She was never going to be a lamping dog but may do the odd night if I fancy a change. I shoot a lot as well so tend to use the rifle in the dark and the animals in the daylight. primarily she was for working over the ferrets and she marked up and worked the nets really well but I was hoping to get her on the end of a couple of bunnies a week through the summer to get her more clued up and onto a few more runs than she will get working around the nets (so that I can ultimately rely less on nets when ferreting certain locations)
