parkstone 24 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Great news. Most of us rate a ferret as worth about what? £5-£15? BUT whats this ferret worth? its saved a good terriers life so what price would you put on it after this?. Quote Link to post

woodga 170 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 molly off this forum got a slating for this same reason just the other day only mollys dog had never seen quarry or been below ground .this dog was a worker so there fore should of had a collar on imo be cause as was proved when they are off the leash if they get a scent they will go to ground you were very lucky this time mate im pleased you got the dog ok but next time if there is a next time things might not go in your favour do the right thing and collar the dog before you go walking problem solved Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Accidents do and will happen....look at me, 14mths walking the same way home, and have only ever seen fox poo about 4 times on the whole of the land in that time. Another time prior, they killed (pre ban) a large vixen in the middle of the day on a public walk, a couple with their kids and 2 staffies had walked past her only moments prior to Jazz finding it There is only one thing you can guarantee about dogs...ANY dog, you can never trust them 100% in any situation. Brilliant idea using the ferret MOLL. Quote Link to post
