On a tangent here. It was always a question when in field tests or trials why dogs only responded to their handlers who invariably used the same whistle. Yes I know we ran in pairs or even teams but the dogs were biddable to their handlers. Interesting I think. Jok.
Stumfelter. Question for you. What exactly was that comment meant to mean.? Not afraid of using or losing sounds not nice. Us hunting lads are not afraid of using as we use them for the purpose we carry them. Losing them is not an option any one of us wants. Are you suggesting otherwise?. Jok.
Thought you might like this but looking at the pic I'm not overly impressed with my presentation. However. 2lb rainbow caught mid morning. Stuffed with butter, garlic cloves (5) and baby red tomatoes. Climbing French beans and Charlotte potatoes with a Stilton sauce. Nice glass of wine and hey ho. (The fish was a bit big for the dish so had to take the tail off and bend the head a bit). All in all a result. Jok.
Accip. Every Sunday without fail. Everything. Just alternate beef, lamb, pork and chicken. As you so rightly say the kids get all their vegetables and to be fair it's a good craic round the table. Keep up the good work.jok.
Blue. Obvious ain't it. I had a black lab and a brown lurcher. Guess their names. Lol. Black dog and brown dog. Ffs. Well known around here and only answered to them names. Jok.
Jack. 4 months old and they are still babies. They need constant attention as they would have from the mother. My mate swears by a little milk in his palm each time you feed them which at that age should be twice a day. continual feed might not be the best idea. They then get accustomed to you as the source of food and will act accordingly. Not only that, you are able to have a little talk to them which will help no end when they are in the working environment. In other words they will come to you eagerly . As regards maturity. 10/12 months and your little friends will be good to go. All my ow
Very strange. I've text and phoned but everything goes to voicemail. Not like Jim at all. Either he's on holiday or nor well. Will keep trying pal. Jok.
Forgive my thickness but how did you find the dead ferret if it was underground? Have I miss3d something here? I must be misreading your post I reckon. Jok.
