Now I gave a 3rd season bitch to someone in Hunt service in Wales a very well known pack..Only because the previous well known Huntsman had recomended him to contact me..The bitch was given free of charge but on conditions when she had a litter I could have a bitch pup back..Now the bitch was lined but he told me she never took ..I found out the bitch had 5 pups thanks to a few members on here..I rang him and he kept denying it,then after more calls he admitted the truth ..I asked for a bitch pup as that was the deal but he has refused so I told him to send the entered bitch back this he has done,, he has a bitch out of the litter but refuses to give it to me ..A few lads on here know the story ,,Now in my eyes he is just a dog thief ,,Whats you lads thoughts..I have given him to this coming Saturday to give me the pup

Thought i'de put these up for another member who sent them to me. The dog digging on wasn't a worker as shuch but a 11 or 12 week old pup who was digging himself in on a rat in his kids sand pit, i'de like to say he got it but he bolted before he knew what was going on. The force is strong in this one me thinks. I'de also like to add that he never encouraged it, it all happened naturaly all he did was go and see what the fuss was all about. Edited to say this is a pup off Teds first litter.

just sat here at 03:20 on the floor in front of the patio doors on facebook cos I cant sleep and the dogs have kicked off down the garden so I looked up and there it was a F##king fox looking straight at me through the patio doors so I jumped up and went to let the guys out there kennels before they woke the street up as I walked down the garden the fox was running backwards and forwards around the garden among the trees and shrubs as I have a 6ft fence around it,by the time I had turned the alarm of down the pens I could hear the fox scrambling to get over the fence,I opened the doors of the kennels and the dogs nearly knocked me out with it, the dogs where gone that fox soon cleared than 6ft fence Only telling you this because I was quite suprized to see it as I live in the middle of town and the sheer cheek of it, thought it was pretty cool though

Hi guys. It been a while since i have been on the forum, The lay out has change a bit too. Well the reason I am wanting to chat to you guys is this morning my 2 year old Pat/Parson cross got run over with a car. We live in the country but the road is very busy so it is a full time job making sure the dog can't get out of our enclosed yard. However, we moved some of our bantams to the front garden in a wee cope I made. My wife went out to let them out of the box and took the dog with her. My dog, Nell, has an extra ordinary nose, I think she is 1/2 hound. While the wife was open the cope door, Nell picked up the scent of a fox and took of like a greyhound accross the field straigh out unto the road and got hit with a car. She is going to be in the vets office until Friday. She needs an operation to the front leg which has serveral breaks. They are going to have to put a steel plate on it to hold it together to get it to set. My fear was from what they told my wife it would never knit back, but I have a shooting friend who is a vet and he assures me it will and this procedure is the best for good recovery. Here is what I want to know. Have any of you every had such a break with your terriers and if so did they come back to full spec. Nell is so athletic and will run all day. I just don't want her to jump over a ditch some day and the leg snap. Would value your experience here. I love this littler mut and it seem like a life time to wait until Friday before I will see her. BD PS. The fox was also hit by a car 1/2 up the road so at least she maybe played a roll in killing that one.

Been out today on my permission with the guns and beaters and I was abit embarrassed we bolted 5 foxes 3 of them in one wood and we only shot one I wasnt embarrassed because we only shot one it was because there was 5 and I cant find the earths anywhere,Ive been round every bit of the land/woods, Ive been working them for 20+yrs they are like my back garden,do you think they could be coming in from the adjoining land that I cant go on,if not where the f##k can the be holding up

i have done search's on here and can't find any thing on the type of terrier i've been thinking about. the job's that it would be required to do is be a sounder/bayer/bolter on foxes and rabbits. the reason behind the idea is because some spots i have found are very inaccesable for digging and all i'm after is a dog that has minamal trouble in and out of hole so no digging required. the dog is only going to be used for bolting for my running dog pup i know i'll get told to get a ferret (i have one)or just cop flack becouse it's not conventional but any way any idea's would be much appeceated PM's fine also

Got a call out today from the keeper said he had seen a fox around his release pens,so I meet up with him and off we went I took both pups with me, a dog 17months and a little bitch 15 months it was the 1st job for the bitch,so I sent the dog down first because he had been before after a minute he was back out I reckon it was a bit to tight for him as it was only a small hole so I thought it could be a rabbit hole that had been opened up because the ground was sandy anyhow I gave the small bitch a go this was her very 1st time she was down about 20mins and it was very quite,not a single sound so i started to worry abit So I had my lad take the dog away cos he was yapping and panting from the heat then had another listen i could just make out a bit of bumping and I thought she was stuck,I located her about 25/30ft from where she had entered a single holer at 2 1/2ft and I said to the keeper shes f**king rabbiting or its stuck I dug down to her and she had moved on so obviously not stuck located her again couple of feet on at 4ft dug again and broke through and it had moved again located her again at 2 1/2ft again broke through to her still no sound but she was locked on to a dog fox removed her and humanely dispatched fox all in all she was down about 45mins and not a sound out of her WELL PLEASED first dig for her and she did the biz
