Richie10 345 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 why would anyone want to pay Maybe they are finding it hard to get any ferreting of their own... Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 why would anyone want to pay Maybe they are finding it hard to get any ferreting of their own... So why pay £375 to still have no permission after the course? If they are finding it hard and have £375 notes im sure they would find local farmers much more welcoming........ Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,160 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I know the guy and good luck to him. It's not aimed at young lads in the sport, the same as the day out grouse shooting for £17000 in Yorkshire isn't. If some tourist or well to do sort want a day out trying something different then it's there for the taking. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,172 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I know they did days out for people wanting to learn about ferreting etc, but I would imagine that this is aimed more at the 'pet' type owner who wants to take a comfortable break in Scotland and do a bit of ferreting at the same time. Jim's a genuine bloke, a bloody good dog behaviourist and a top lurcherman IMO: I hope he gets plenty of custom at a time when there's not a lot of dosh about. Having said that, there's still plenty of people with money...............just not on THL LOL Quote Link to post

Obviously he is getting folk on the course so good luck to him, just glad when i was young folk took me out for nothing. As for 17 k grouse shooting, well organised shooting has always been a more expensive hobby rather than the grass roots of ferreting....... Quote Link to post

Second thoughts i like the idea, any people out there want a ratting break with a terrier, you can kip in my spare room, have a pot noodle, toast for breakfast and i'll even treat you to a pizza at night...£300 per day Only messing, as i say best of luck to him, although i maintain its expensive Quote Link to post
inan 841 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 i ment the site adress, was wrote wrong simmo,,, does anyone know who this greenwood fella is ??? I judged the E of E show with him a few years back ,he is a good lurcher judge and has a good reputation with dogs.I would imagine this is aimed more thaose wanting to "experience", the out doors and have a taste of fields sports, rather than the meat and potatoes lurcher guy/woman. Hope this hasn't given you ideas Tomo? Quote Link to post
Sirius 1,358 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Good luck to the fellow, I have only heard good reports about the man and found some of his articles on dog behaviour pretty good. Who knows maybe there is a market for ferreting holidays? Quote Link to post

It may seem steep, but his help and info is spot on. The only thing you need to bring is your dog. He covers everything from food to insurance. Have been on one of his days (not the Scotland weekend) - was struggling to find someone to go out with - it isn't just a day in a field. It is advice, instruction and fun. He is there for you and your dogs, not his bunny count. And his help and advice continues after the weekend. No cocky comments for asking questions like you can get on here. He's a sound bloke. If any of you lads are willing to offer the same cheaper, I'm interested. Quote Link to post
